Popular for its rich legacy of serving sumptuous
& trademark North Indian recipes one
experiences at any outpost. The Chandigarh outlet is ready to continue to
recreate unparalleled highway eatery nostalgia with its ambience &
signature dishes and much more.
Given a shot of new age elements and kitschy interiors
with the legendary classics on the menu along with some nouveau charms, Dhaba
is set to recreate the same magic again - but with more full-on Punjabi flair.
Speaking on the occasion, Rahul Khanna
& Kabir Suri, Directors, Azure Hospitality said, “With a whole lot of drama and double the
fun, we plan yet another Dhaba in city beautiful, with something brand new – a
complete Theka with an all day menu like never before. We are exhilarated to
share that the country’s smartest city “Chandigarh” is about to get struck with
Dhaba’s dildaar Punjabi love that has been warmly accepted in Delhi NCR, Pune,
Chennai, Hyderabad & Bangalore.”
“The Dhaba is designed to take you
through an ode to the Indian highways that have always served as fantastic food
memories for everyone at different points in their lives. Dhaba Estd 1986
Chandigarh is all set to present a delightful dining experience to the people
here with the Theka in its complete avatar for the very first time” added Puneet Gupta, Franchise Owner of Dhaba Restaurant,
Chandigarh.
The first Dhaba with a designated space for a full
Punjabi Theka will be pouring tasteful Dhaba signature drinks served with
special appetizers all day long. The Dhaba here is divided between three
sections- the Dhaba restaurant on the ground floor with the signature truck
with seating and a buffet section.
And lastly, the Theka in the outdoor sunlit section
with a full-fledged bar adorned by a beautiful tree, pop window art and a
private section. Quirky, bone tickling quotes adorn the walls of the eatery,
along with an accentuated ambience with airbrush art inspired from iconic
movies of the Indian Cinema. With a rustic kitschy look and wood & brick
work that add to the beauty of the place, the interiors are designed keeping in
mind the crowd and vibe of the city. The ambience effortlessly infuses the
excitement of a highway meal; and in fact, takes it up a fair few notches!
Shabbeer Ahmed, Chef of Dhaba, Chandigarh said, “The food menu is inspired by
travels down the highways of India and the eccentric by-lanes of old towns
famous for unique age-old recipes. In addition to the age-old classics,
the new menu experiments with newer flavours showcasing Highway specials, not
only from Punjab but from all over the country. The essence & soul of
Dhaba is Punjabi, however a whole range of regional dishes are now available
for indulgence.”
