This is definitely not your typical restaurant experience to be sure. The atmosphere is very rustic. This is truly a family run business. The kids even helped with food preparation and service. The best part was they cooked everything to order in front of you and the smells are delicious while you watch. It seems they don’t do a traditional menu but have a few dishes they just bring to the table. They were more than happy to accommodate us when we asked for vegetarian. The food was fresh and delicious. They initially bring you a tray with a sampling of dishes and fry bread. They keep bringing you hot fresh bread as you eat. They even bring you second helpings of the dishes. It was wonderful service and we will definitely be back.

One restaurant that is in the middle of nowhere. We found the restaurant while driving from Dallas to Amarillo. One look and we knew where we would stop on our way back.

They have recently re-opened but still under construction. Call ahead if you plan to eat here. They also take orders ahead to save time. Food was amazing! We are vegetarian and let them know a day before about it. All the dishes were made fresh to our taste – less hot ( spice level) yet very flavorful. The meal reminded us of dhabba food back in India. Highly recommend this place.

We had not expected this place to be where it is located. We were driving by 287 south when we saw the signs.

An amazing gem – did not expect to stop here, but saw it on the highway and on an impulse, decided to check it out. It was Christmas day, almost 32 F outside, and my father and I were on our way to the Grand Canyon, vowing to stick to a strict schedule so we could arrive on time to Flagstaff, AZ, where we hoped to spend the night. That plan unraveled as we drove by the Punjabi dhaba, imagining hot chai and delicious Indian food in our bellies. We approached the doors, and the family who owns the dhaba greeted us eagerly. We looked around and admired the assortment of vintage military vehicles outside before going inside to the warmth of the dhabba. We soon found ourselves talking to some of the most genuine, kind people I’ve met, and the food did not disappoint. I had huge parathas with fresh onion and butter, piping hot chai, and spicy, delicious moong daal. It’s a family-run business that you cannot afford to miss if you’re driving on 287. It may be out of the way and in a remote location, but I promise you it is still completely worth it. My dad has eaten at dhabas in India and swears by the authenticity of the parathas. During our conversation, the owner said that you have to know who cooks your food to truly appreciate it, and I couldn’t agree more. I may not be Punjabi, but my middle name is Singh, and that counts for something, right? So take it from a Singh, and go to the Punjabi Dhabba in Vernon, TX if you want real Indian food. 5/5

Indian food in the middle of the desert was our saving grace. Great food, we had the chicken masala with rice and tortillas. We basically had it all to ourselves, played our music on their stereo and had a blast. The family is very friendly, this stop is totally worth it!

The food was excellent! The atmosphere was definitely unique is a great way. I would recomend calling ahead before just showing up. They make it fresh so it takes a bit, but very worth it. The kids there were funny and kept showing us their animals. We met the Turkey and peacock along with a gang of ducks and chickens. Overall pretty cool experience. Not the ordinary. I’ll be back.
