My family and I recently visited and experienced Dhaba. Although the food and service were good, the prices were outrageous and unfair for what was provided. The original bill was for $660 USD for a few appies, six thalis and a few drinks. We had little warning of the cost, and trusted the team. Fortunately, the manager reduced the price by 25%, but the cost for each person was still around $100 dollars for a 90 minute experience. The space was also not great with no windows and this made the overall experience uncomfortable. Bathrooms were legit though! Not recommended for those that do not like to burn cash, but if you have cash check it out.

Very much appreciable. Great menu of yummy cuisine. Dine in service is nicely managed. Takeaway also available. Comfortable seating. Hygienic place. Well mannered staffs. Nice for photography.

Dhaba is an old restaurant, serving North indian food in Punjabi setup. The whole look of the restaurant is Punjab. There's a truck chasis and a village look of Punjab. Food is good, specially Balti meat, butter chicken, bhartha etc. There's live Indian music, singer singing old Hindi songs. Service is good too. The only irritant is it's congested and small. Better make a reservation here.

Exceptional service and a welcoming atmosphere! The staff at Hottie goes above and beyond to ensure a delightful experience. The ambiance is trendy, and the menu offers a fantastic variety. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, you'll feel like a valued guest. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!

Great food and nice ambiance, but a little too expensive in my opinion. There are much better options for a more reasonable price. However, if you have tourists coming to visit from outside of India, this is a good spot to take them for authentic North Indian food since hygiene and cleanliness are maintained very well.

THE ORIGINAL DHABA ORIGINATED ONI IN 1986 I remember eating there since my childhood, in fact had a chance to eat more often when I used to work at The Claridges, one of the only restaurants in India, maintained their charm with quality of food and service for the past 36 years and is still busy and favorably  for North Indian Punjabi food. Time to time they also call chefs who specialize in Punjabi Cuisine and do Punjabi theme festival. Lunch and dinner Signature dishes Tandoori chicken, Balti Meat, Dal Makhani, Pindi Chole & more.

Authentic Dhaba with Punjabi delicious food . We went for birthday party and Mr Manish have managed very well, all expectations upto to the mark. My Daughter was very happy .Thanks a lot Gr8 Job Mr. Manish..

It's as close to a Punjabi style highway diner as it can be. The ambience is totally rustic with all the elements of a Dhaba including a Truck chassis. The lanterns, blinking lights, wooden bench type furniture and wall decals. Since this place has opened it has aeev d the most delicious Punjabi food in the city. Its getting better with time as the wine ages and matures.Chef Manpreet Singh with his talented team has created a lovely menu at this Lohri which includes dishes from the homes and villages of Punjab. The unmatchable and iconic dishes like the Dal Dhaba, Balti Meat,Mutton Boti and many others are always here to stay. Taste is consistently the same and getting even better each tine. Service is great and the server's even remember you by names and the place where you sat last time you visited.Wow..this is why people flock back to this place again and again. #travelblog #foodblogher #foodreview #bestindianfood

Service took long and food is also not that good as the hype . Also the quantity was less. Pineapple raita and paneer tikka were nice .

I have recently had the pleasure of a dinner with my family at this restaurant, which was truly a delightful experience. From the moment we had walked in, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere from the staff end. They were exceptionally attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. I Strongly recommend to all to have a visit this restaurant.

The flavors were exquisite, and it's clear that the chefs here are incredibly skilled. Whether it was the appetizers, main courses, or desserts, each bite was a burst of culinary excellence. The presentation of the dishes was also top-notch, adding to the overall dining experience. The menu had a great variety to choose from, catering to different tastes and preferences. To top it all off, the restaurant's ambiance was lovely, with tasteful decor and just the right amount of lighting to create a cozy and intimate setting. In conclusion, I can't recommend this restaurant enough. It's a perfect place for a special occasion or simply a memorable meal. I'll definitely be returning to savor more of their delectable offerings.

Dhaba - when it comes to highway food or punjabi food, Dhaba is the only place that serves consistently good food. Over the past 30 years they have been pioneers in dhaba food. This lohri they got Chef Manpreet Singh Tikka and he has got amazing new food for us. He got dishes which were part of Punjab( before 1947). The palak and bathua moong dal saag was outstanding and so were the desi lamb chops. Cooking New Zealand lamb chops is no art but cooking Indian chops definetly requires right skill. The simple humble dal was amazing and the shalgam meat was brilliant. The company of Chef vivek rana, Bobby, Sakshi and the food, - I couldn't have asked for a better afternoon. Shailender ji's hospitality was incredible. Thank you Team Dhaba! Can't wait to see you guys again..

Too many errors in Bill

Everything is excellent

Pure play food review, it's average. Not worth your penny . We entered on a weekend at 10 in night. Mint chutney was probably out of stock so they added water to it and diluted it, it became more like a dal then chutney. Unfortunately they also forgot to ask Salt.😊😊 Food Bhatti Murg is like chicken 🍗 tandoori in an ordinary restaurant. Main course butter chicken is served in a clay pot. Clay pot since is cold, it absorbs heat of gravy and what you get is just lukewarm gravy. You don't enjoy it Decor wise it's good, since foods average no point trying it

amazing North Indian food. Ambience was amazing, staff was very friendly. One of the most outstanding food ever. Highly recommend the Chicken tikka and Dal Makhani. Please come here, this is one of the oldest restaurants in Delhi still better than most of them

Nice Food is good over there Dasi food in dasi style You can't believe how they manage Local dhaba style in a star hotel When I saw this I was surprised In beginning I thought it's not a part of hotel But it is Visit this amazing part of hotel To recognise real hospitality and test of Indian traditional food

Getting fake reviews posted for money... got a call from someone posing as Google Promoters. Asking for a 5 star review fir this place. Doesn't matter if you've never been here.. avoid this place which needs fake reviews to bolster their publicity... I wanted to give negative if I could

Dhaba's menu offers an extensive range of flavorful Punjabi dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. From the traditional favorites like butter chicken and paneer tikka to lesser-known specialties like sarson da saag and makki di roti, every dish is prepared with precision and perfection.

Do yourself a favor and book a table at Dhaba – your taste buds will thank you!

Most of the time the chef is right here, greeting the costumers, so you can make personal request, like tourist friendly food, low in spices. Here my fiance and I learned that even if you ask a dish for yourself, it will be placed in the center, with a separate dish for you to serve. Actually, it´s always a good idea to share your Indian food, because the flavors are intense.

Dhaba by the claridges is a must go to place for some authentic Indian food.. it’s so nicely done up, the ambience of the food, nothing will be Just Average ! Superb place to have that family dinner ! ❤️

Dhaba Restaurant is a culinary haven! The quality of food here is exceptional – each dish bursts with authentic flavors that transport you straight to India. The Tandoori Platter is a must-try, perfectly grilled and seasoned. Beyond the delicious fare, the service is top-notch, with a warm and knowledgeable staff. A five-star dining experience that keeps me coming back for more!

Dhaba, in Hotel Claridges is among the oldest & the best North Indian Punjabi restaurant. It has an unmissable old world charm. Love the food, love the ambience.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. Now,

Authentic dhaba food in a 5-star hotel. We went in for a family dinner with people of 3 generations, so you can imagine how difficult it could be to satisfy everyone's food requirements. But everyone was truly satisfied with the food and the experience. Food quality is superb, and the serving size is good too. Their Bhutte-ke-kabab, Tandoori pineapple, Gulab Jamun, and Kulfi were the highlight. You definitely won't regret going there.

Staff is not courteous, it's like they are giving us a favor by serving us food. Appetizers are spicy, butter chicken pretty standard. Balti meat - really good. There are only 5-6 table setting and half of them were empty on a Friday night (guess yourself how was the mood) and they made us wait for good 20 mins for the table which was already vacant. Nope, do not recommend...

amazing North Indian food. Ambience was amazing, staff was very friendly. One of the most outstanding food ever. Highly recommend the Chicken tikka and Dal Makhani. Please come here, this is one of the oldest restaurants in Delhi still better than most of them

Amazing feel of a real dhaba and a culinary delight. The food ingredients are well sourced and nicely cooked to give a great time to our taste buds. We visited for lunch and to our suprise, the chef personally attended to us. it's an great tasty 😋

The food is nice but the person sitting at the reception is very rude, we requested politely to click a picture to which he did not respond twice by plainly ignoring us at our faces and then went to the desk and started using his mobile. I mean he could've just refused if he didn't want to click but he chose to give the customers 'the look'. Very rude and unprofessional. He behaved like we ate for free or owe him something.

One of my favourite restaurants since childhood. For a change I did not require any booking of table. I liked the concept of Live Singing in Dhaba restaurant. The singer was nice. The service was amazing. The complimentary papad’s were awesome. Dal Makhani, Tandoori Roti and Garlic Naan were delicious. Best was the service, after reaching the restaurant and paying off the bill it took only about 35mins which is high class hospitality. Everything was extraordinary. The Khatha Meeta drink was prepared brilliantly. I would recommend people to visit more and enjoy their hospitality.

Dhaba is located inside The Hotel Claridges New Delhi. Food ordered was yummy and portion served was in good quantity price of each of dishes being served is too much on the high side. Nothing special to mention about service. Ambiance inside the Dhaba is given look like a village. Have a glance at Menu before you order your food.

Quite overrated and overpriced. It was disappointing as we were looking forward to this meal, but id recommend going to their CP branch. Better food at half the price and a much nicer vibe.

This is a really nice restaurant with a vast selection of Indian dishes. If you do not know what to select, there are persons who are always available and ready to help/explain/provide some advice. My special thanks go to Mr. Sanjit who was so kind to help with the best selection of dessert, well done!!!

Great food but the service was just okay. The seating was very congested. If you are paying 5 star prices you would expect 5 star service. Even the Claridges hotel was very disappointing. I would not recommend Claridges but would give Dhaba another chance.

Had a really Great time there! The food, the Service and the overall experience was spectacular! The F&B team is really great!

Best North Indian Punjabi food. Baingan Bharata, Amritsari Aloo Wadi, Black Maa ki Daal , Nana Pushina Paratha are the best in the world. The preparations have been like this from years and no change in quality. This is the best place to have a good lunch or dinner with family and friends. The Dhaba is inside Claridges hotel. One should have food here while visiting New Delhi. A must.

Went to Dhaba at Claridges after ages and it's still the good ole vibes . Took our family friends for lunch here and had a fantastic time. Mr.Sanjay Chopra took really good care of us and also made sure that our table was held for a long time as we were running late. Dhaba has that old world charm which is really nostalgic and the interiors look like a dhaba. We ordered quite a bit of food - Mutton Burrah , Chicken Malai Tikka , Keema Kaleji , Balti Meat , Dal Dhaba (Dal Makhni) , Butter Chicken , Jeera rice , Butter Naans and Garlic naans. The Mutton Burrah here was fantastic. 5 pieces come in a portion . The mutton was super soft , juicy, tender and the marinade was just super delicious. It was a really melt in your mouth and the flavours were bomb. Dal Dhaba was as good as any top tier dal makhni should be , one of the very best in my personal opinion. The Balti Meat is their signature dish and it truly is superb. 4 pieces come in one portion and is served in a Balti style dish. The Meat again was super tender , perfectly cooked and really juicy. Gravy was amazing with really rich , deep flavours which is really enjoyable. The Keema Kaleji was another banger and really well made. A good load of spice and perfectly cooked mutton organs equates to a great dish , which this was. One of the best keema Kaleji I have had in quite sometime. The butter chicken was fantastic aswell , like extremely good. Boneless pieces of chicken with a spicy , tangy and a little sweetness to the end is what this gravy had which I really enjoyed. For desserts we had Badam Halwa , Gulab Jamun and Kulfi and all of them were really good. Deepa served us very well and Mr.Chopra took care of us the whole time. Dhaba is truly an iconic restaurant and has amazing food and top notch service. It was really an amazing experience and the food is 5/5 aswell as the service is 5/5. Our total bill was around ₹17,500 after discount and taxes.

Great good, specially the breads were finger licking good. Had some trouble with one of the servers but the management was kind enough to apologise and correct the issue.

Good food, good service. really enjoyed the baalti mutton curry. Definitely worth a try!

Awesome food and nice place

Good place.Nice service.

Ultimate food !!!! Must try dal tadka and ask them for double tadka Dessert rabri is awesome Great jain food options

(Translated by Google) ek no (Original) ek no

Food could have been better.

Amazing feel of a real dhaba and a culinary delight. The food ingredients are well sourced and nicely cooked to give a great time to our taste buds. We visited for lunch and to our suprise, the chef personally attended to us. The deal was too good to refuse : ₹1795 + taxes per person, as much as you can eat across the menu. This was only for lunch and I tell you, it was a feast! Thank you Dhaba and wish you all the very best.

Good food, service and ambience

We were staying at the Claridges Hotel and dined at Dhaba a few times. The restaurant is only small so booking ahead is advisable. The restaurant has a casual rustic Indian atmosphere and a warm ambience. We found the food to be delicious and tasty. The staff were always friendly, attentive and helpful.

Typical North-Indian cuisine restaurant.

Authentic dhaba food in a 5 star hotel😋The ambiance will blow you away

Simple ambience with old punjabi pind decor. Food was yummy as we ordered only appetizers this time in which tandoori pineapple was chatpata yummy and few mocktails. The service staff was very polite and helpful. We all enjoyed our dining over here.

Typical desi food,wow

Amazing food

I like very much must try veg thali.

The cost is too much for the starters. Best gravy was of balti meat a must try ! Will definitely pay another visit for the taste although the service was slow .

Best place for dine in with best North Indian food. Ambience is also nice for those who are looking for retro Indian with desi themed restaurant. One of the best is the Dal makhni. I recommend everyone to visit this restaurant if you are looking for authentic North indian cuisine as it has best food and is one of the oldest North Indian restaurant in Delhi.

Our first night in India so wanted to take it easy. We decided to have dinner in our hotel. We were not dissapointed. The food was delicious. There was a top Indian Chef there for the week so we lucked in. Top marks for great food. You will pay a little more for this but it is worth it.

The food and service were good, with the prices being high, as can be expected when eating within a posh hotel. Although I requested spicy, the dal wasn’t spicy at all, perhaps to cater to the foreign clientele. What was surprising was that even the green chillis served on the side weren’t spicy, a first for me in India. Would I come out of my way to eat here when there are so many choices in Delhi? Probably not, but for a choice within a hotel, I’d say not bad...

What amazing food. Service is also great. Makes for a great evening shehr there.

I wish I had option to give negative stars. The restaurant people are extremely rude. I had a booking at 8 pm which they confirmed but at 7:50 pm they called to convey, that my booking had a 45 min waiting. The person at the counter was extremely unprofessional and didn't have the courtesy to even apologize. Pls do not go to this restaurant, there are better place with better Ambience, service and food in delhi. Not worth it.

Great experience

Disappointing experience on a Saturday evening out with family. While the ambience is nice and rustic- the staff were quite untrained, sullen and couldn't care less. Food taste was below average and at that price point and location- frankly one should stick to other options. Well the rock in the cake experience for me was a server clearing off my plate mid meal- in his hurry to get the table ready for the next set of customers :(

As good as it has always been !

Good food

Amazing place to have food.

Main course daal makhni and balti mutton was nice, snacks/drinks average.

(Translated by Google) The best Indian food we had on our India tour. However, the prices are very salted even for European standards. We paid more than double to triple that in any other restaurant. The atmosphere is great. The very friendly staff turn off on demand also the much too cold air conditioning off or down. Highly recommended is the chicken tikka, which nowhere in India tasted as good as there. (Original) Das beste Indische Essen was wir auf unserer Indienrundreise hatten. Die Preise sind allerdings selbst für europäische Standards sehr gesalzen. Wir haben mehr als das doppelte bis dreifache gezahlt als in jedem anderen Restaurant. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr toll. Die sehr freundlichen Mitarbeiter schalten auf Nachfrage auch die viel zu kalte Klimanlage aus bzw. herunter. Zu empfehlen ist das Chicken Tikka, welches nirgends in Indien so gut schmeckte wie dort.

Not worth the hype created

Great Nostalgia

An overall good place to eat, great ambience, great food, and interesting drinks, all it lacks is variety. I would recommend this place to those who want to have authentic North Indian food with a huge Dhaba theme (as the name suggests) paired perfectly with the 80s theme along with music from the 80s to bring nostalgia to the 80s kid in you

Best roadside freshly made food in a classic 5 star ambience...great combination

Good food , excellent corn pudding

Highly overpriced but expected. Should only go on expense account.

I happened to visit this place last evening for dinner. I have been to their outlet in Hyderabad & I knew what I should be expecting from them, it was supposed to be the perfect choice. The ambiance was good for a restaurant in a metro station - exceeds expectations. The place was beautifully lit! We ordered sarso ka saag from the winter special menu with the makai ki roti both of which failed me. The saag was replaced when I mentioned the same to the manager but again the taste was bad. We did not eat it at all & we weren't even charged for it! Good thing - the manager needs to be applauded for it. He was super active. The other items that we ordered were - punjabi kadhi & their specialty in chicken, both of which failed me. However, the chicken was the star of the evening. Even after paying a bill of approximately 2300 we were dissatisfied & unhappy. Keeping the prices in mind, the quality definitely needs to be looked upon.

Delicious food, proactive and courteous staff.

Good hospitality, good food

Used to be great

Authentic punjabi food. Dal makhni and chicken tikka was simply amazing!

Excellent and unique eating out for exquisite and authentic Indian meal

Authentic fresh Punjabi food. Besides being very clean.

Where every taste tells a story. For the love of delicious food. Sensory enjoyment opened up. Your culinary adventure awaits. Less cost. High quality. We are always here to serve you. Life is short, make it sweet. A taste you will remember. Life is dull without good food. Get the best or nothing.

Amazing feel of a real dhaba and a culinary delight. The food ingredients are well sourced and nicely cooked to give a great time to our taste buds.
