Menu

In North India, roadside diners
are commonly known as dhabbas.
For generations these family run
establishments have been captivating
hungry travellers with their own menu
of closely guarded recipes, passed on
from father to son.
Over time, the remarkable taste of
these dhabbas soon began to spread
from the highways into the cities.
Many internationally acclaimed
hotels started adopting the concept
of the dhabba into their own
restaurants, with some laying claim
to being the best Indian restaurants
in the world.
We, at The Dhabba, are proud
to present real North Indian cuisine
in its finest form.

Dum Pukht
T O B R E AT H E & C O O K
The art of Dum Pukht cooking
traces its origins to the times of the
Nawabs of Awadh - rulers of the
Northern Provinces of India during
the 18th century.
Dum Pukht means ‘to breathe’
and ‘to cook’. The cuisine owes
its excellence to the fact that the
food, sealed in a dish, is cooked
in its own juices and retains all its
natural aromas and flavours.
PLEASE ALLOW 20-25 MINUTES FOR YOUR
