Dhabba Express offers 'asli Punjabi Khaana' (authentic Punjabi food). There are three restaurants in the same premises - Dhabba Express, Dhabba Lahori Open Garden restaurant and the Dhabba Lahori air-conditioned restaurant..

Dhabba Lahori - the open-air garden restaurant, complete with a waterfall, is designed like a typical roadside dhabba (a roadside eatout booth), right from the charpoys or khatiyas (stringed cots which double up for sitting and sleeping) to the brass tumblers.

Kababs are a speciality at Dhabba Lahori. Check out the Chicken Kabab and the Fish Tikka under the Dilkush non-vegetarian kabab variety.

Dhabba Lahori A/C has the same menu. Here the setting is like the interior of a Punjabi house, with beautiful glass paintings, and speakers set in mud pots. The food is served in brass thalis (plates).

The Dhabba Express is also an open garden restaurant, but it has rock tables which give it a different feel. The lunch buffet at Dhabba Express for just Rs. 51/- is very popular. Jalebis are made on the spot and served, hot during the buffet lunch. Check out the authentic jaljeera and Punjabi lassi here.

The average meal for two costs between Rs. 120/- to Rs. 180/-. There is a separate section for home delivery. Delivery is free for up to 5 kms from the restaurant.
