Try tangdi kebab, it is juicy dripping, cooked in self fat. I havent tasted so much tender chicken for a long time. Mutton bhuna - quantity is less butt too good for taste buds. Go for it. And overall a dhaba ambience is awesome experience. Go for it!

We were thoroughly delighted! What an experience. TIRED we were post a long road trip n decided to stop by with no big expectations n we were superlatively delighted. Service, food quality , quantity all score a 10/10. There was not much crowd probably since it was Monday. But prompt service then the order taking the quick service then deserts n it left an impact on our minds as well as our heart.
Order was Chicken main course, Dal makhani n roti n rice , kheechya masala followed by the rabdi n kulfi.
Awesome experience team! Good luck hope to get this level of service every time we visit.

Huge seating space you can enjoy the proper dhaba ambience. They also have have open air space and indoor dinning. The service is fast and I have always experienced it being full on weekends with a waiting of 1-2 hrs if you reach after 9pm. The food is amazing.

Dara’s dhaba, located near kalyan fatak serves authentic punjabi food. The place has ac section, which has a normal seating arrangement and outside seating has khat arrangement, which gives you the whole dhaba vibe.
.
.
Coming to the food,
• chicken malai kebab - tender & grilled chunks of chicken were delicious.
• cheese tikka no paneer - cheese lovers, go for it.
• naram dil kebab - stuffed veggis and crispy cover made for a good starter.
• chicken lollipop - the usual, anytime favourite from the menu were good too.
• veg biryani - indeed completed the meal, flavourful.
.
.
The service was prompt & real quick. The food served was hot & fresh. Prices are a bit expensive considering the ambience but the food was worth it totally.

Enjoy some northen tadka roadside, do give a visit.

Were on our way back from Bhandardhara when we decided to stop here for lunch. Have been to this place twice before and liked the food served.

Started my meal with a shared portion of the Punjabi lassi. Very rich and creamy. It half-filled a very hungry stomach. It's a must have, one of the best places to be serving lassi in/around the city.

Then, ordered for the chicken pepper tandoori, pretty good, delicious, nothing extraordinary, pepper made it a bit spicier, so there was the twist to the normal tandoori chicken.

Lastly, had the murg mussallam, really loved the way the meat was cooked, but just felt that the gravy lacked a bit of the flavour that you normally associate with murg mussallam.

All-in-all, a pretty good meal, just think that a lot of the food on that menu is overpriced considering the setup and the service.

Ambience - 6.5/10
Taste - 8.5/10
Service - 7/10

Pricing - 5/10

Decent Dhaba on the way, there are various dhaba on this highway but my luck turned good. The Manager gave us good suggestion and was very polite. I ordered
Starters- Chicken Banjara (4/5)
Chicken Malai Tikka ( 4/5) ( sweet)
Chicken Kurchan was the best in the main course.
The Naan was also very soft.
The ambience was really the best , open sky with cushions!

See here's a thing, there are so many best restaurants in Mumbai and then there's Dara's! The desi chicken brings me to Kalyan from Dadar once a while (everytime). Long drive plus dinner on this place is like a cherry on the cake. Quantity of the food is marvellous. On the other side I'm the customer who try those funky name dishes like Bewda Chicken and Jhinga Nisha, don't go on the name...they taste awesome. Best place for late night dinner attack with friends. Or just go out with your loved one.....damn sure your partner will have a awesome date. Don't order Triple Rice or Biryani until and unless you're too hungry or you're a hungry wolf. Would love to visit this place again and again. Little costly but dude the food over here is eternity.

Visited this dhaba style restaurant on the our way back from Igatpuri. The outdoor seating looked nice but there were too many mosquitoes so decided to sit inside. Ambience was average. Food was over all good. The cheese tikka was one of its kind. Very simple dish. A big cube of processed cheese marinate in the pander tikka marination. If you really like cheese then you can try. The lassi and stuffed parathas were good. Food not out of the world but if you are in that area and want to try some dhaba style food then it's a good option.

After a long and tiring journey thought of having some beers and good food.... while coming back from nasik I came across Daras dhaba.... as it was too hot outside me and my friends decided to sit in the ac section... we started gulping buds and then arrived bewda chicken, a dish which was blended with rum in it... suggested by the staff and yes we loved it... superb.. later had the banjara kabab which was also soft and tender.. we requested the staff to shift is in the non ac section which they happily agreed for and then our session continued. Felt very relaxed on the khatiya outside... finally ordered for butter chicken and chicken khurchan... the sweetness of butter chicken was not because of sugar but coz of the actual butter in it...
In short it was superb...

There is also an AC section which is very elegant but doesn't have the ambiance of Dhaba.
The food here was just outstanding.
Quantity and Quality of food is just awesome.
Hatsoff to the chef.... I just loved the food here.
Initially I thot the place looks over priced but considering the quality and quantity the prices are pretty decent.
We Ordered Banjara Kebab and Chicken Patiala.
For the ppl who love chicken n omlets together chicken patiala is a fantastic choice.
The staff is decent and service is good.

OK before I review this place. If u are new near this area u might get confused as the GPS guides u WRONGLY. So anyone coming from Nasik side towards mumbai it's After u cross the toll on the left hand side ahead of Oye Punjabi.
Ok food as always great. You need to have the lassi so make sure u keep place for it if u eat too much..
Service a bit slow compared to the bhayander one.
If u plan to sit outside do not sit in the afternoon as it's super hot.
But a good place to stop by for lunch or dinner.

This would be probably the best place if you are a traveller on Mumbai - Nasik highway. 

Address in simple steps : 
From Mumbai : Once you cross sangrilla resorts (on your right). drive for around 1KM. You would see DARA in big red in on your right.
From Nasik : Once you cross toll after titwala. Around 2KM, you would see DARA in big red in on your left.

Ambiance - 4.5 : Dhaba type ambiance, low voice old Bollywood music. at the same time hygiene at its best.

Food - 4.9 : I had veg. The word finger licking gets proved only at some places for me. this is one of them. Everyone do try "Naram Dil kabab". I didn't have anything like this ever. & Rest curry, rotis, chaas are good too.

Service - 4.8 : Lots of waiter roaming, you don't have to screme to waiters as you do on typical dhabas.

Billing - 4.0 : Not sure card payment is available. Please carry cash on safe side, you cant expect a highway joint to have a card network always.

Parking - 4.9 : A gurkha available always to direct your car to help & lot of space every time I have visited.

This could be the best dhaba place in Bombay vicinity. people trying different. this is it.

Long drive on Nasik Highway in search of a good Dhaba to satisfy our gastronomic cravings. Finally found a Dhana which we can recommend highly. We ordered Bhindi Kurmure/crispy bhindi, lasuni Chana Fry, Desi Chicken Sukka, Tawa Paneer, Veg Sheekh Kabab, Full Gauti Desi Chicken Handi. Each dish was cooked with care and was very delicious. Couldn't find fault in any dish. The only thing we could point out was the fact that the oil in the Gauti chicken could have been little less but then the taste was dot on the money. The place is around 43 kms from Powai and we are definitely going to visit again and very soon. Definitely no dinner tonight.
Rating : 4/5 for taste, 3/5 for ambience, 3/5 on pricing, 3.5/5 for service, 4/5 for value for money and good food that you will remember for a long time.

Had been here for a dinner with wifey on a Wednesday night.

First things first, do not get lured into the restaurant's claim that it is near kalyan fata. It's a good 10 kms from kalyan fata.

The ambience is decent enough for a dhaba but could have been better. One does expect something more than usual for a brand like Dara's so as to differentiate from its local competitors. But the place is clean and hygiene is good.

The food is good. We ordered a kebab and a chicken curry. Well marinated, brilliantly cooked and perfectly as spiced. Service was very good.

Overall a good experience.

The Food here is simply fabulous. It was my absolute first time to a Dabba & we ordered in some Jeera rice along with Black Dal.
There were other dishes that were order too. The Moong Paratha is stuffed well coupled with some fresh Dahi is lip smacking ..

We were six of us, I would say the costing was extremely reasonable coming to about 500INR per head.

The food without a doubt is tasty and service is very prompt. Also the waiters are not pushy about anything, they were pretty accommodating. They are more than happy to help.

This place also serves good add-ons like your onion and chutney or pickle.

Word of recommendation .. Go ahead & take the plunge One of the best Dabbas little far out from the Western but worth the drive if you have great company Enjoy !

When my uncle suggested we drive down to this dhaba in Kalyan, I wondered how good does food have to be for anyone to want to drive 50km for it? Turns out, pretty damn good!
Dara's dhaba is located on the Mumbai-Nasik highway and is the 2nd outlet with the same name. This dhaba offers outdoor seating with traditional charpais and tables, however we opted for the more-comfortable indoor seating. While the name projects the personality of a simple dhaba, Dara's is actually pretty premium and offers high quality food. You can choose to place an order before you reach there and they would be happy to oblige. We ordered the Naram dil kabab - arguably the best vegetarian kabab I have eaten till date. Crisp on the outside, tasty filling of cottage cheese, mashed potato and spices on the inside. Delicious! The chicken malai and banjara kababs were good, though my vote is for the veg one. But the star for me was the chicken Lapeta. wow! "gauti" chicken cooked in a semi-dry gravy and also available in thicker gravy. Very well cooked, uniquely spiced and supremely tasty. Complemented well by the butter naan.
The mutton tawa was also good and perhaps mutton fans (unlike me) would be able to appreciate it more. 
Perhaps one of the most unique dishes I have encountered till date is their kadak roomali roti, which seemed bigger than my 8 year old cousin. Surely an ideal replacement for the masala papad. This one's hard to describe, hence best to get a glimpse in the photos section. 
While I thought this was all I could eat, one cannot resist their mango rabdi which is appropriately thick and milky, without being too sweet.
Dara's is awesome. The food is tasty, leaves your stomach full and heart happy. For a big group, it was decently value-for-money and the long ride seemed totally worth it!

Daras Dhaba in Mira Road offers a delightful culinary journey with its authentic Indian flavors. The rustic ambiance, reminiscent of a traditional dhaba, enhances the overall dining experience. The menu showcases a diverse array of North Indian dishes, with a focus on robust flavors and hearty portions. The kebabs at Daras Dhaba are a standout, perfectly grilled and bursting with aromatic spices. The butter chicken is a creamy indulgence, and the biryani is fragrant and well-seasoned. The attentive staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. However, some diners may find the pricing slightly on the higher side compared to typical dhaba settings. Additionally, the restaurant could improve on its waiting times during peak hours. Despite these minor drawbacks, Daras Dhaba on Mira Road remains a popular choice for those seeking a taste of authentic North Indian cuisine in a vibrant setting.

It's overcrowded Dhaba, you can really enjoy shops and astrologers and foot massage centres in the premises. Food is over-hyped, deserts are very typical and not so Punjabi. It is an average place with different types of food for your choice.

Gem of a place, super busy at night but they have games to play and a massive outdoor waiting area. Authentic seating on cots while you enjoy your meal and enjoy you will. The menu is extensive and the food A+. Many Punjabi dishes to select from as well as fresh made dessert’s. Don’t forget a lassi at the end of your meal. Really fun vibe with great food!

I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambience was truly inviting, with cozy sofa-style seating that instantly put me at ease. Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the food. The mutton rogan was an absolute delight. The tender pieces of mutton were perfectly cooked and bathed in a rich, flavorful rogan josh sauce that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The chicken tandoori lollypop was a revelation. The smoky, charred flavor of the tandoori preparation was complemented by the delicious, tangy marinade, making it a real treat for my palate. And of course, you can't go wrong with the garlic naan. It was soft, fluffy, and bursting with garlic goodness. The perfect accompaniment to the rich curries. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough. The combination of delectable dishes, comfortable seating, and a warm ambience made for a memorable dining experience. I'll definitely be returning for more culinary adventures!

Lovely Ambience. The setup is like an actual Dhaba with Kathiyas. You can request for chairs. The bamboo layout looks amazing. Food was delicious, though a little on the higher side. Lassi is a must try. Some dishes were very spicy, but you can ask them to adjust the flavours. The staff is very polite and overall service was excellent.

The place is located conveniently on Highway at Kashi Mira. Has ample space, but avoid going on Weekends or Sundays, since there is waiting of atleast 45mins. If going on weekend or Sunday, get online booking done in advance to reserve your space, so that you do not have to wait too long. The ambiance and food is good. There is live performance of songs in the A/C section. But the place is expensive.

The Restaurant is well spread out with lot of seating space, separated into Smoking and Non-smoking zones. The Staff are really well behaved and make you feel welcome on arrival as well as when you are there. The food appearance and taste was really good. It wasn't too spicy and they were willing to adjust the flavour as per our needs. Lassi and Buttermilk was really delicious, and a must try. The cost is slightly on the higher side.
