The Punjabi Dhaba brings the spirit of a roadside dhaba — honest, hearty, deeply Punjabi — straight to Fresno's Central Valley. Desi cravings satisfied, around the clock.

What a dhaba is

A dhaba is a roadside kitchen — no pretension, just bold Punjabi cooking made fresh to order. We brought that spirit straight to Fresno.

The tawa, the tandoor, the karahi

Every paratha comes off the tawa golden and stuffed to order — aloo, paneer, gobhi, mooli, or mix veg. Daals slow-cook for hours; the biryani goes full dum style.
A menu built for every craving

From a dhaba-style breakfast omelet to full curries, chaat, and masala chai — the menu runs from Punjab morning to midnight.
