And it show the real side of Punjabi style dhaba present in highways like loud Bollywood music is being played.

Foodie squad we were invited for food tasting session and the food was on the house.

Ambiance:

                It’s an old and rusty kind of ambiance displaying the road side dhaba ambiance available on highway. The kind of Daaru stalls then the walls were completely decorated with all-time villains from Bollywood and there famous dialogs. The chairs were resembling the khatiya style heavy steel plates and glass. Bollywood music and staff dancing on the tune and entertaining the people.

Coming on food it was one of the best dining experience in dhaba style.

Starters:

            We were served with amazing dishes like Highway Chicken, Mutton Boti Kebab, Sheek Kebab, Murgh malai kebab, Chicken tikka, Mutton Tandoori Raan and Galouti kebab. The Highway chicken was really tasty and spicy too. Then Boti kebab was good the meat was tender and juicy. Now my favorite dish Galouti kebab the soft and tender melts in mouth so yummy and next murgh malai kebab even this one also so tasty and yummy. The King of dishes was Mutton Tandoori Raan one whole mutton raan well marinated and cooked in tandoor. The Tawa mutton was one of the best dishes from the starters what we had over here.
