Dhaba-ling with Cuisine

The Dhaba is an institution in India, an outdoor family restaurant which have playgrounds, local music and some great food. They welcome in people from all over the community for a low cost meal. It is definitely something you have to do while in India as they line the road in certain parts of the city and is a true local experience. Taking friends Jonny and Sarah - we caught the bus (another interesting form of transport) up the road to a recommended Dhaba.

Gareth and I have embraced the Indian practice of eating with our hands a few times, which is not necessarily a new skill we’ll bring home to the UK, but as our Indian friends say it does actually make the eating experience better! The skill is not to have too much gravy and use the rice or naan to soak up the meat, dal or sauce. For just £6 (in total) the four of us had a great meal. We must have had 7-8 dishes between us plus drinks, bargain! We had a great night and then decided we needed to walk off the food and as we weren’t too far from home wandered down the road where, we spent most of our time avoiding the ‘sacred’ cows blocking our path….
