Awesome place n awesome food. Best place for one's who doesnt opt to have veg food at nonveg restaurants. They have separate kitchens for vegetarian and non vegetarians. They dont even hestitate once and directly show there kitchen if you doubt about.

Sidhu Punjabi Dhaba is a huge dhaba on the old Mumbai-Pune highway. A place can be easily seen from the busy way. Ample parking space, huge shade, typical dhaba sitting arrangement offer you dhaba vibes.

It's impossible not to eat Punjabi food, when you're at a Punjabi dhaba. I tried 2 veg dishes & a typical north Indian dal, along with some rice. Trust me it was delightful. Everything tasted so great. I will definitely recommend this place to have your meal.

Score (out of 5)

A great I always visit with family. Good food at a very decent price. Short and sweet menu and whatever they do is perfect. They deserve a 5* but after what happened today with us, would be giving only 3* but since we were there for food which we really enjoyed, hence giving a 4. We had ordered chicken tandoori, chicken pahadi kabab, chicken amritsari butter garlic naan and jalebi. Everything was satisfying. What was not, was the attitude. This place is usually a cash only place, but recently they had started accepting cards. So at entry, we had asked if the card facility was available and the gentleman with pride said yes but there would be additional 5% GST applicable. I was very ok with it. Had the for and when asked for the card machine, they said it's not available a there is no network. I requested for alternate payment options and they said only Paytm but their mobile had no network. The dhaba was full and most of the guests were using their phones without any problems. Mine was also fully operational. They said, I need to go a kilometre and half to the nearest ATMs to get cash. But had to leave my family behind at the dhaba. It took me almost 40 mins to return with cash as most of the ATMs were out of service due to heavy rains. It was very embarrassing for us and felt like my family was held hostage for no reason at all. We were very clear about our payment method even before stepping in and this is how they treat their guests. Really appalling. If they wanted to deal in cash we were very ok with it, we would have got the cash first and then enter. But getting in guests by passing on false info and then holding on to family members as of we would run away with their mere bill is not at all welcoming. We were really disheartened by such a behaviour from a restraunt we frequent. So all out there, whenever you visit Sidhu, pls be cash ready as they wish to deal on that way, but are some way reluctant in admitting to. Foodwise it's always a 5*.

OMG what an authentic test♥️♥️ we ordered chicken handii with butter roti's ohh god we were amazed with the test. Over here i test the original Punjabi spices.
Everyone should try their masala pappad it is crispy and full of test af♥️
I'll rate ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and for the service ⭐⭐⭐

For 3masala paapads 1 chicken handii 6 butter roti's & 1 panner tikkha masala 4 roti's and at the last jira rice and one small pepsi we bill around 1500₹

This place is really nice, it’s quick service is really good. The quality of they provide is very good and we can always feel the freshness in their each and every item. According to me their non veg items are the best. They provide a large enough sitting space for a family.
Punjabi will never miss their hometown food while eating in this sidhu punjabi dhaba.

After a long drive to Amby Valley in the month of May, we were utterly famished! It was at that moment that my brother had the brilliance to suggest that we drive back to Pune via the old highway, as there are several dhabas on that road, not the "food mall" types on expressway. 

So, off we went! And soon enough we came across this decent looking dhaba, and decided to eat here. It was almost 4 pm, and the owner was asleep on the "khats". But as soon as our car pulled in, he immediately woke up and started barking orders at the staff, and also welcomed us courteously.

The seating was quite cosy, with the typical khats and breeze blowing around, all the fatigue washed off of us, and i was starting to feel sleepy already.

But we still had to eat. we didnt order much, just amritsari chicken and rotis. The Amritsari chicken came in a nice green gravy, and tasted really really divine, although that may have been due to the fact that we were so hungry. The pieces were far less, upon request, he gave us some more pieces and gravy at no extra cost. 

So, all in all, a great day spent, most of the credit for it goes to this dhaba, as it ended our trip on a delicious note!

A well maintained place with a perfect dhaba look. The staff were polite and they also had a good service. We tried
Tandoori roti- It was crunchy outside
Jeera rice- I think this the perfect jeera rice I have ever had😘
Panner handi- great distance with great taste
Veg kolhapuri- This was our greatest disappointment we thought of having a non paneer dish but this dish consisted paneer😥
Dal fry- To enhance the taste of jeera rice it was thick and awesome
And finally for desserts
Jalebi- Purely made from ghee, served hot and taste was😋😍😘

Long drives and highway dhabas have always been a place to relax and after a tiring day we friends decided to try dhabas than our local restaurants as we were craving for chicken.We decided to head to dhabas in bhiwandi and less traffic just made our journey a memorable experience.We decided to try siddhu da dhaba just opposite to shangrila waterpark . The dhaba is typical punjabi dhaba with basis interiors and 2 section one for family and another for normal groups.The place was buzzing and we could smell barbequed chicken we decided to start with some tandoori chana served with fried garlic along with masala papad. The masala papad was huge let down while chana was amazing and typical dhaba chakna. We ordered chicken oil fry half and chicken tandoori boneless.The oil fry chicken was crispy on outside and soft inside topped with onion rings and green pudina chutney .It was delicious.Tandoori chicken tasted amazing and portions were extra as compared to our local restaurants was spicy and juicy and it lived up to expectation.In main course we ordered chicken handi and makai roti,The roti was soft and was layered with homemade butter which was just perfect and chicken handi was great.The chicken quantity was a bit less we felt though it was good overall.Desert we ordered lassi . Lassi was a bit let down in here and we did provide this feedback to the owners. Service was fast

Note:Whenever you visit such dhabas do check the portion cause thier half portion will suffix 4 people easily

Never order maida rotis try makai or different rotis they are served well and always try homemade butter for a change u will love it

Visited this dhaba on 9th July midnight.
Frankly speaking we visited this place just reading "Punjabi Dhaba". As it was quite late so most of the guest/customers were leaving.
We have ordered following dishes:
Dal Makhni: It was just ok ok. As the name says Makhni, I couldn't find any traces of butter and salt was too lesa for the taste.
Matar Paneer: Just average
Missi Roti: Best out of all we ordered.

While returning from Mumbai were crossing old Mumbai Pune highway as we were very hungry so finding any good & clean place to eat, we saw this dhaba, heard alot 'bout this place & other famous dhabas on Old highway, well we enter the place were sitting arrangements were of khaat, chairs. Now here comes the food menu which consists of veg & non veg.. ordered veg food i.e. paneer butter masala, daal fry & roti. For 2 people 700/- bucks that too on dhaba for veg food is bit costly bcoz the sabzi & daal were costlier, but after eating food money worth was spending upon. Overall good food, less spicy & less oily & tasty.

Kinara is known dhaba alike restaurant in Lonavala or old Mumbai Pune highway so thought of giving a try to some place else with thought of keeping d budget under control. Found this Dhaba on the same highway a little far from Lonavala about 10kms. Ambience very simple & breeze flowing from all around. Menu is very simple & not many a long list & really budgeted places for a people eating in groups. Now coming to the food very tasty & authentic Punjabi khana. Ordered tandoori really worth d money. Than order Chicken Amritsari with Butter rotis & as usual Punjabi so Butter floating on d rotis & the gravy dish. 2 rotis & was full. Surely going again for trying d other starters & d biryani. Recommended to each one to give it a try.

This place signifiy Dhaba in true sence, next to a national highway, nice open structure, ample parking nice view of Lohagad fort at distance and pristine cool breeze. Place to go with bunch of buddies or family when in Lonavala. To top it all one of the only places still run by Authentic Punjabi Sardar Family.
Let's come to food now. Tanduri Chix was nice soft and with hint of Ajwine. Main course Handi also nice. We tried both veg and non veg options they were decent. Lassi and Rabadi with Jalabi was yummy. Prices are little high but portion size justify the same moreover with all vehicles traveling on express way these places need to charge premium to survive this place is still cheaper than its other posh and big brand rivals in the vicinity.
PS.- Place does not serve alcohol but they have bring your own bottle policy which makes partying pocket friendly

Decent place on NH4 on the old Mumbai Pune Highway, could be one of your preferred pit stops if you are around.
Typical Punjabi stuff, though priced slightly on the higher side considering it proclaims itself as a dhaba; quantities are pretty huge though. Typical order would be Dal Makhni, Chicken and Paneer - generous portions of butter sprinkled on them :) thank God for not being health conscious. You could try out their Chana Garlic fry and Aloo Paratha- pretty tasty. Of course it would be foolish to compare this place with the more illustrious counterparts in North India, but then this one is reasonably good!

This place continues to set itself apart from all the dhabas around it. The ambiance is very minimal yet tasteful. Even if there is a crowd, you are always welcome and won't be rushed to finish your meal. Owing to it's minimal and basic setup, it is also very airy. The food is as close to authentic as it can get, complete with Desi Ghee, Makhan and the works. I particularly liked the saagwala chicken. The desi ghee jalebis will ensure you are in heaven. The courtesy extended by the owners and staff adds to the experience. This place is a must visit for the authenticity it extends across the board. Will surely go back and keep going back.

I absolutely love this place, the food has a country taste and by that I mean delicious. We have visited this place with friends and family couple of times and have had a blast. It is absolutely kid friendly. Nice and spacious. They know their food is great and still they have maintained their quality which has not gone to their head unlike other dhabas on this route. On Thursday my office had an annual gathering in Lonavala. We had rented a bungalow and they delivered food there as well and my guys were bowled over. Though I'm a vegetarian I can say that their non veg fare is to die for. I can say this by the expressions of my friends and husband ;p , try their jalebis for sure and the veg platter. Not heavy on the pocket, take your booze with you and make a day of it at siddhu Punjabi!!!!!

Full marks to taste, service and quantity.

Whatever instructed like Masala papad with less spicy for kids followed perfectly.

Had been to Sidhu Da Dhaba on 27th Dec with a few of my office friends and family as we were on a vacation there. We ordered a few starters in Veg and Non-Veg. In Veg, we ordered the Veg platter which consisted of some nice tandoori starters like Tandoori Aloo, babycorns, two types of chutneyed paneer cubes, flower sabji pieces etc. It was pretty decent and tasty. The masala papad was awesomely spicy, but it is something certainly not recommended for kids... The masala is too explosive!! For Non-Veg starters, we ordered the traditional chicken tandoori which was very tasty. In the main course, we ordered a butter chicken regular portion which is enough for two hungry people. It was slightly sweet and also had tutti-frutti as a topping, which for me is most unusual for a main course spicy dish. The flavour held up the value of the dish. We also ordered two family size main course entrees; namely, Veg Lahori Handi and the Chicken Tikka Handi. The family size is good enough for 5 or 4 really hungry people. Both the dishes lived upto the mark and were very tasty. There were an assortment of rotis which we ordered and simply no complains there. The size was amazing! The butter naan sprinkled with sesame seeds was a simple WOW!! The makai roti, plain roti and wheat rotis were also good and large sized. The Boondi raita was exquisite. At the end, we ordered a dish of Jalebis made from their home-made, pure desi ghee which was a fitting end. The prices were reasonable and this entire meal for 8 adult cost us Rs.3820, which was quite reasonable. We would certainly revisit the place again!

"Cheap, Punjabi, Filling, CHEAP Food." A must visit.

So imagine a 21 hour journey from Chicago, and then the very next morning a 4 hour journey for lonavala, Phew! what a frustrating ordeal by itself. About the only 2 booster in the week were, seeing my family in bombay, and then on the vacation after a good 9 months and Sidhu Punjabi's food. The reviews on here weren't very comprehensive and that why i figured, i might as well. Firstly, when in lonavala, you got to eat at one of the dhabas, it's either going to Sunny's or Kinara Village, but Sidhu blows both out of the water as an experience. Don't get me wrong here, I absolutely adore Sunny's Dhaba, but personally before its widely known glory day's and its appearance on everyone's lonavala itineraries, i mean back when the food was as cheap as it was good, those were in my opinion the time i absolutely loved the place, and since a meal for 2 there started costing a good 1200 INR, I just HAD to find a new cheaper place. Enter Sidhu Punjabi Dhaba.

So to start, we were a group of 11, so there was a LOT of food, and no it's not because I'm a crazy kabab eating machine (okay, maybe a little). I started the meal with a tomato soup with a lot of fried bread cubes, which was awesome, but that's at pretty much every dhaba. Next I tried the Rashmi Kabab, and to be honest the Rashmi was a little too sweet for my taste (It's probably just cause i prefer all kababs with a little kick of spice), but pretty much everyone else on the table loved it. Next I had the tandoori Chicken which was between mediocre (average) and Great, but at 340 INR, it was a steal. The Butter chicken here was as punjabi as things get, both made and topped with heavy cream, with a garlic butter naan, thing were just great. At the end of it, what probably sold me on this place was the Lassi, it was thick, rich, perfectly sweet and it didn't leave that annoying irritation in my throat much like most of the other place do.

There were still some ridiculous things about the place, the indo-chinese food was priced more that a eat all you can meal for 4 at a china town in SF, 500INR, $10. Seriously? Also the Jalabi's that I'd been craving for months had to be ordered for a minimum of 10 pieces. Whaaaaa? And the light went out for a good 5 minutes during our meal.

At the end of the day, the food was priced perfectly, the place had the authentic Dhaba feel to it. The food was never bad, except for the overpriced indo-chinese food. And i'd go here over the other Dhaba's around the place.

Authentic north indian Punjabi food.

Good location, on NH-4 near Karla caves phata.

We thoroughly enjoyed eating in monsoon because it has mountains at front and back sides with rains. The dhaba is more like a restaurant because it has floor and tables, like any restaurant, covered by shed, but open at sides.

Tried both veg and non-veg options and enjoyed both.

Yes while going from Karla to Pune happened to see this expansive hotel. Visited the hotel & though being very minimal served hot food. Jalebi & paranoia was hot & tasty. While coming back to home stopped at this place once again for a late lunch. Was not at all disappointed with food. As said very expansive, quite airy...it is very relaxing. The place including washroom area was neat and clean. Our heartfelt thanks to the staff & owner.

Real Punjabi Dhaba Style Experience. Best place on this Route Mumbai-Pune Old Highway where you can have Veg and Non-Veg food with your Family and Friends. (No Bar) Food Quality is at best. The ambience is chill and pleasant.

The food is very good. We loved it. Taste was superb overall. The glass of thick lassi was just amazing. Butter Chicken was mouth watering. Service was very fast. They treated very nicely. Sidhu Punjabi Dhaba is good to go while travelling to Mumbai or Pune via Old NH-4. Overall amazing experience.

When taking the Old NH-4 to Mumbai or Pune, Dhaba is a nice place to visit. I stopped by this place while returning from Karla Caves. The food was excellent as it turned out. Good food and service. Excellent cuisine at a very affordable price. total financial value. Add to that a welcoming, polite staff and a similarly amiable owner. airy and uncomplicated. There is plenty of parking and nice, clean restrooms.

Visit this place to get ढाबा like vibe. Seating arrangement has chair oly as well as chair + baaz arrangement as well which is more suitable when you have kids with you who can sit, lay down on baaz. Open and airy but simple ambience. Food is good. We really liked the Sidhu special chicken handi and chicken lollipop. However chicken biryani was a disappointment 😞. Service was very fast we were getting served next ordered dish way faster than expectation. In second round we got that no point in placing advance order to save the time. Definitely go for their special Desi ghee jalebi. Hot n crispy 🔥 👌 😍 😋. Prices feel bit higher but we can guess why. Taste 8/10 Ambience 9/10 Cleanness 10/10 Value for money 8/10 Service 10/10 Parking available

Very good food at very reasonable price.. Total value for money. Top that with a very friendly, courteous staff and equally warm owner. Simple and open ambience. Nuce clean wash-rooms and ample parking for at least 50 vehicles... Biryani is good.. We ordered chicken, egg and paneer biryani. Egg biryani was spicier than chicken one. Aloo parantha was delicious. Don't forget tp order the hot Jalebi dessert.. Its top notch 👌

This place is huge and have large amount of parking space. During the summer we felt pleasant during night because of the open air playing in the premise. There is kids playing area as well. Sitting arrange is pretty decent. Coming to food, the charges are on expensive side and doesn't really match the dhaba category. But food was delicious and felt that good quality material was used to make the food.

Sidhu Dhaba is the place you must visit for great Punjabi food. Their butter chicken is awesome. Plenty of parking space. Must try their jalebis too which is prepared in desi ghee

The overall food was good but a bit costly compared to normal rates. The taste is authentic. We ordered chicken tandoori, veg crispy and chicken angara in starters and all of them were very tasty. I would suggest go for Nan in case breads compared to roti and bhakri

The most loveable test… The wait is worth when test is good. Too many options and variety is available for veg and no-veg also. Here you will get roti’s with full of butter and buttermilk single glass for two… This management staff maintain Punjab food culture which more attracts me.
