I recently visited Dara's Dhaba and while the ambiance was undoubtedly cool and trendy, I must admit that I was disappointed with the overall dining experience, primarily due to the quality of the food. Let's start with the positives. The ambiance at Dara's Dhaba is undoubtedly appealing. The interior design is modern and stylish, creating a trendy atmosphere. The seating arrangements were comfortable, and the decor added a vibrant touch to the overall setting. It's definitely a place where you can hang out and enjoy a meal with friends. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to my expectations. I found the quality of the dishes to be underwhelming. The flavors were lacking depth, and some of the ingredients tasted stale or lacked freshness. The presentation of the food was appealing, but the taste did not match the visual appeal. I ordered a variety of dishes, including their recommended specialties, but none of them stood out as exceptional. The flavors were average at best and lacked the authentic taste I was hoping for. The portion sizes were decent, but that alone couldn't make up for the subpar taste. The service, however, was satisfactory. The staff members were friendly and attentive, making an effort to ensure a pleasant dining experience. They were knowledgeable about the menu and willing to offer recommendations. In conclusion, while Dara's Dhaba offers a cool and trendy ambiance, it falls short in terms of food quality. I hope they can improve the taste and freshness of their dishes to match the appealing atmosphere they have created.

Ambience is very good and the place is huge! We went in for lunch and had mixed experience here. We tried veg crispy and masala papad (normal and khichya) for starters. Veg Crispy soon turned soogy. ProTip: The manager wanted to rushup with the orders and get the table available for next customer. So, do not give main course order while ordering starters, even if he asks you couple of times. They would serve main course within minutes of serving the starters and you would end up not finishing your starters. Khichya Papad was a let down because it had sev but very less salad and it was not actually a khichya. It was thick but soft. Definately not like a usual khichya papad. For the main course, we tried the manager recommendation Panner Khurchan. I wouldn't recommend honestly, it was more at spice than taste. Stick to Paneer Tikka or Butter Masala as other reviews say. Best part was the ambience and the lassi here! There also was a man playing dhol and singing Punjabi songs. Overall the cost is bit on the higher side, but okay for an having a dhabba experience. I am sure we went with wrong choice of food and the other options would have be super delicious. If so, the cost would be justified for the experience.

Ambience is too good.... Food was good...! Idk why people recommend Punjabi chole here, it was not at all good.... Instead try paneer butter masala it is the best..!! SERVICE HERE IS JUST TERRIBLE... extremely slow and pathetic.! Overall okieshh experience... There are better options nearby.. try those.! As this place is over too hyped... Nothing special.!

Went for dinner. There is ample parking space. But go early by 730 pm. Children fun games are there, pan stall is there. Different sitting arrangement AC, non AC. Elevated huts and charpoy sitting. We were there for starters only mostly and we tried 4 starters all were good. Drinks are also available. We had veg only. Non veg is also famous in DARA. We also had mock tail drinks . Little sweet to their design. Over all awesome experience A lovely and lively atmosphere.

A great place for family dining. This Dhaba is huge with play around area for kids, delicious food, live music, you can also host private parties out here

Nice place for family dining. This is usually crowded on the weekends so we did not get a place to sit in the garden dine in, hence we had to sit inside their AC hall which is quite congested and AC is very high which cannot be controlled. So we were like shivering while having our food. Food was good but service was slow may be due to weekend. One thing which I felt bad was that while paying the bill through card, waiter asked us to add his tip also while swiping the card. But it’s actually our wish to pay the tip or not. This should be taught to the staff. Otherwise the garden area is huge with parking and playing options for kids. Overall an ok ok experience

Amazing and very big place to for lunch and dinner with variety of option to eat, From chicken to fish to mutton to crabs to lobster everything you will find here. For vegetarians i would highly recommend mushroom over paneer. There is also different sitting option available to you can go with office team party to family get together. The service is amazing in reasonable expenses. Alcohol and Smoking option is also available here.

Visited this place sometime back for lunch. Loved the food there and ambience. Ordered some non veg food items and they were totally delicious.

The place is located conveniently on Highway at Kashi Mira. Has ample space, but avoid going on Weekends or Sundays, since there is waiting of atleast 45mins. If going on weekend or Sunday, get online booking done in advance to reserve your space, so that you do not have to wait too long. The ambiance and food is good. There is live performance of songs in the A/C section. But the place is expensive.

Ambience very good. Food quality and service 5 star. Food taste can be improved. Apart this experience is very good.

Food, ambiance, service...all super.. tandoori chicken was amazing, the karela chicken was okok since the stuffed mince meat was dry. The Punjabi lassi is must have ended the dinner with Jalebi rabdi.. decently priced, must visit Reach early to miss the longgggg waiting que

The staff is very helpful and prompt. Kudos to the manager!!! Very professional and quick to check on customers. The ambience is beautiful !!! From outside it does not seem so, but it's beautiful. Punjabi music dominates the speakers. They serve authentic punjabi menu with a chinese menu too. I'd recommend avoiding the chinese because it is not that great. Tandoori is the best here. Try the masala cheese papad. Super yummy and filling. 4 starters with 4 cocktails = 4k approximately

Very nice place. Ample of parking... Be early for your lunch or dinner. Setup is mind blowing... They also have kids garden.

Everything was good...but dont take bewda chicken... if you dont like Rum🤪.. cz its bitter in taste..else tandoori chicken is awesome..and sing dana mixture with whiskey vodka was excellent ... ambience too good..a big parking lot.fast service. Tantoori roti was good

Best

The ambiance is the great The food is amazing as heaven

Food is good and ambiance also good

Excellent awesome

Very nice

Great ambiance. Tad bit too pricy but food quantity is nice. Should definitely come here but if on budget then be careful.

Decent place for the family. Food and services are good.

The food is very tasty and fantastic. Loved the ambience a lot. Sitting arrangements are awesome👏. Staff is very polite too. Overall very nice experience. Must try!!!

Too much hype, not worth all of it. Imagine a dhaba that can't even make d right type of dal makhani. Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend a visit here

Food was ok ok very late Service

Awesome place

Good

Wide variety of tasty treats right at your doorsteps Items ordered:- Paneer tikka masala(in photo) Paneer makhni Chicken butter masala(in photo) Garlic naan(in photo) Chicken tikka biriyani or matka biriyani(in photo) Paneer tikka masala and makhni was really creamy and tasty also the paneer is really soft and fresh so overall dish is great For non-vegetarian, both biriyani and chicken butter masala is alot better option and have good quantity of chicken and amazing taste

The Restaurant is well spread out with lot of seating space, separated into Smoking and Non-smoking zones. The Staff are really well behaved and make you feel welcome on arrival as well as when you are there. The food appearance and taste was really good. It wasn't too spicy and they were willing to adjust the flavour as per our needs. Lassi and Buttermilk was really delicious, and a must try. The cost is slightly on the higher side.

Gem of a place, super busy at night but they have games to play and a massive outdoor waiting area. Authentic seating on cots while you enjoy your meal and enjoy you will. The menu is extensive and the food A+. Many Punjabi dishes to select from as well as fresh made dessert’s. Don’t forget a lassi at the end of your meal. Really fun vibe with great food!

It the same old experience - visited after eons. A lot has changed including menu and digitalisation - a great plus Good quality is amazing and non bloating. Personally loved mutton and fish options.

Lovely Ambience. The setup is like an actual Dhaba with Kathiyas. You can request for chairs. The bamboo layout looks amazing. Food was delicious, though a little on the higher side. Lassi is a must try. Some dishes were very spicy, but you can ask them to adjust the flavours. The staff is very polite and overall service was excellent.

Lovely ambience located right at the highway. No bookings taken but it can get crowded even on weekdays so they visiting a little early than dinner time to get the best spot.

It's overcrowded Dhaba, you can really enjoy shops and astrologers and foot massage centres in the premises. Food is over-hyped, deserts are very typical and not so Punjabi. It is an average place with different types of food for your choice.

The place has a lively vibe but the food here is average. While there is a huge variety of veg and non-veg items on the menu, the food is high on spices & oil and less on flavors & taste. The prices are reasonable and portions are good. The place serves liquor and a range of mocktails and juices as well. Dal Makhani was nowhere close to the original. Punjabi Lassi is a must try here and can be easily shared between two. This is an open restaurant which is generally airy but can get worse during bad weather. They have ample space for parking. It’s another regular food place that has a dhaba backdrop.

Really huge dhaba with good open space, clean hygienic and big menu to choose from A little bit costly but worth it

Nice experience, food a little expensive.Everyone in mira road and nearby area should go there for nice experience and delicious food.

Food is on a little expensive side but not too much. Taste and entire ambience is simply amazing. If you're going on a weekend then try to get early and reserve a seat usually there's a lot of wait time. Still highly recommended!

Food was not so good

Best place... Best Test.... Awesome maja aa gaya yaar

Loved the food they served. It's worth it for punjabi food lovers, specially sarso ka saag with makke ki roti and gajjar ka halwa.

Good location n food

Best dinner place

Very tasty food 😋

Good ambience, tasty food, well mannered staff. Overall experience was amazing.

Good Food and Hygiene maintained....😊

Superb quality of food & environment

A good and relaxing place with a satisfactory menu. The best in the menu is the lassi though, don't forget to taste it. The ambience is really a win. The only turndown is the long waiting hours. Make sure to reach the place at 7 to avoid the waiting queue.

One of the best places for winter dinner. It has open as well as semi open dining space. Food is fresh and really delicious! Their lassi is delicious too but it comes in large quantity. It's really difficult for 1 person to finish even half glass of lassi.

I went for my Birthday celebration and my family and friends liked the food and the ambiance, the service is a little slow but overall it's a nice place

The food here is delicious and well cooked. Ambiance is family friendly and well kept. Though the prices here are a little expensive but the service and over all experience is excellent.

This daba is amongst the best near dahisar check naka. The ambiance of this place is very pleasant and truly a must visit place. The quantity and the quality of the food is very much upto the mark. As of in COVID situation as of now, very much proper precautions are taken. The tables are cleaned and sanitized after every meal of customers. The table is cleaned properly and sanitized. The washrooms of this dhaba are excellent💯. There are various games for children's to play and proper precautions are taken of sanitization even in this area. Had tatsed only a few dishes but the taste was very much upto the mark and the service was very nice. Would like to highly recommend this place if you are on ghoadbunder road or near dahisar check naka.

Not only once - have been there multiple times and even post Covid. They have taken appropriate measures to ensure all norms are met with me witnessing the owner themselves taking personal interest and supervising the arrangements. The food is absolutely amazing - with my favorites being the Kurkuri Bhendi, Panner, Black Dal and of course the jalebi and rabdi combination - but every dish is amazing and well prepared. The staff is friendly and the service is good with the dhol player adding some intermittent live music.

Dhaba : What you can imagine from name the same you will get at this place..... Long tables and Khatiya ( Indian style cotton strips bed ) but for your surprise if you are entering the place for first time this place has more than what you can imagine from out side ... They have huge place with variety of seating arrangements.. one as I mentioned above and other low heigh tables with sofas... (plastic chairs are optional on demand) They have some bamboo houses for seating which is a non smoking area... A good places for party with friends or family... They have good variety of sprits to offer you... FOOD : Quantity and Quality both up to the mark.. A Dholak man will visit your table for sure to make your mood... Open seating area with huge space between tables is something very nice as per Covid19 Safety norms....

Wah food and drinks with family joint punjabi food superb

Great place and food...a little expensive but great place

Nyc place but little bit costly. quantity also so less

I would not even give one star. We ordered hara bhara kebab but it was stale. We couldnt even swallow it but the waiter and his manager were not ready to accept the fact. They were also not ready to cancel it and said they will charge us for the stale food they served. Really pathetic service.

Reducing the rating as today they have served us stale Hara bhara kebab and also they were not ready to cancel the item denying the fact that it was stale. Really pathetic experience ..first time in a restaurant. Would not visit in my lifetime

Fried noodles were not fresh they were not cryspy. Soup quantity was very less it was looking like we have ordered half 1/2 two soup. Not good to have a Chinese cuisine. Full star i would give for the ambience.

Typical Dhaba Feelers and good food

Excellent service and food

Good food, good ambiance, but little over prized

This restaurant serves a range of cuisines all over the world. We tried their signature meals, which was awesome. Cocktails are fine, too. Overall, I would like to suggest this place.

Best place to eat bhada style food near Khatiya seating grance more feel of dhaba Mst try- chikan tikka and pahadi kabab

The guy with dhol is entertaining Good food

Great ambiance brilliant food quality

Good

Neat and clean hotel. Has open seating like the roadside dhabas of Punjab. Good food and ambiance.

The staff isn't well mannered, we had plates piled up on our table like a stocking station, empty glasses from our table were taken away for others tqbles. One of the guy threw free games card on our table rather than handing it over. 5 star for the chef and food, but the staff behaviour could have been better, even 2 star restaurants treat their guests better than this.

Its best place to chill with friends and family. We loved the place😊
