I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was warm and inviting — perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

It’s close to 2 hours drive from my town but we go to eat there periodically. Food test is very good and service too. We are vegetarian so sometimes some items are not available! They should work on consistency on the dishes as per the menu. Overall good food and service too.

20 min drive from Van Horn, Texas. Located inside a gas station/truck stop at the Pleateu, Texas exit. Food is freshly made. Friendly service. Canned soda and traditional drinks from the menu are available. Plenty of seating. Dine in or take out. Large portions. Worth the price.

The place is in the middle of nowhere so we didnt have that much expectation but they did great with food and service. We ordered karahi goat, chicken curry, dal, nan, paratha and chai. The food were tasty and good amount. You will get a little punjab vibe here.

Perfect place to stop during a long drive! The service was quick, and the food tasted fresh and authentic. Much better than the usual highway fast food options.

Food at Indian Restaurant Punjabi Dhaba was great. Very reasonably priced, friendly staff, and an interesting truck stop with various Knick knacks to peruse as you wait for your orders to be ready. Will be back.
