Gurwinder Dhaba features in this series on dhabas. When it comes to comfort factor during travel highway dhabas fill this gap with elan. The khatiyas and homely atmosphere and food fill the soul and tummy like no one else can.
We usually stop at Gurwinder Dhaba on the way from Bangalore to Chennai 500 mts after the walajahpet toll. The name Gurwindar Singh is a hook enough but seeing it run by a true blood sardar was enough for me to stop over. There are places which you go to just for the sheer experience of warmth . There are many dhabas along the Bangalore Chennai highway especially after Vellore. As a food lover I would have loved to go to each of these places everytime I went to Chennai or back. However the Gurwinder Dhaba is the place I go to everytime, for the sheer pleasure of talking to the owner, a Sardar with a pleasurable countenance and phenomenal memory. He remembers almost all his customers. I went there almost after two years and he remembered the car I drove and my family and enquired on them.
The food as usual was top class and he makes one of the best tangris. Customised to be spicy af for my taste, and I didn’t have to tell him that either.
What We Wolfed at Gurwinder Dhaba?
My better half wanted to try butter chicken. I almost never eat chicken out side of home unless I prepare it myself or if I am ure of its quality. This time however boy I am glad I tried it. Exquisitely made with mild spices, it was love at every scoop with the tandoori roti.
The daal on the other hand was exactly how I requested. Hot!!!
I always order the chicken tangri from here. They make one of the best I have had
The lassi was another winner altogether. Unlike the watered down disasters you get in other so called dhabas, this was spot on. Thick and creamy with a topping of nuts and rice crisp. A lovely end to a hearty lunch.
Three tandoori roti, one butter chicken, one daal, two butter naan and two lassi for Rs. 320. A real Steal !!
All of this in ideal dhaba conditions of sitting on a khatiya with a wooden plank as a table
Forgive me for the resolution. It was all taken with my lenovo k3 note under extreme hunger conditions 🙂

Oh how I miss eating in the Punjabi dhabas. This post made me so hungry! Got to add ‘visit a dhaba’ on my India visit itinerary. 😀
I love Punjabi Dhabas, the tandoori roti was introduced to me from one of those. During my All India Tour, in college, I remember trying my debut spoken Hindi to get anda burji and aloo paranthas
