Reviews Amritsar Da Dhaba

I ordered Chicken Liver Masala, Paya Shorba and Chicken Pota in the starters. Loved the Paya and the Chicken Liver Masala the most, the quality and quantity is decent. The Pota was too rubbery but that's just how it is and can't help that much.

The Chicken Liver Masala is mildly spiced, the liver is cooked to perfection and an avid liver lover will enjoy eating this from here.
The Shorba was a tad bit spicy than I've had at other places but the quantity and the trotters are of a good size. Wish it was more thicker than thin even though most Paya Shorba are made thin.

I urge all food lovers to try all their food sometime. I will definitely order many more dishes ahead.

4/5stars. For the food, Happy Eating.

If you want to have authentic food then just visit this place. The USP is its taste. Its just on the left side of the signal on the linking road before McDonalds while coming from juhu. The only thing that one would won’t like is the ambiance. There is no proper place to eat. So rather eating there u can take a takeaway because it’s basically situated on the road only. They will prepare the food in front of u and fresh. You can see the variety in the menu. The must try are Bheja Masala, Mutton Kebab, Masala Pav and chicken masala.

Super hit

Awesome taste

Awesome Place & Awesome Food.
A place every foodie should visit.
I tried chicken tikka masala and rumali roti, the quality and taste of food was really nice and the quantity was sufficient for two people.

loved it

5 rating is really less for this place. I’ve been craving for it ever since i started living in bombay. Finally my wait is over and i’ve found the treasure.
Must try items:
Mutton seekh roll
Chicken roll
Leg masala
I haven’t tried brain masala yet but i’ve come here4 times in last 10 days and i have seen tons of people ordering brain masala and gurde kapure! It reminds me of Jail road non-veg thelas!

Nothing in recent memory has given me more pleasure than writing up this review of Amritsar Da Dhabha. The outfit is a well-stocked and ‘souped’ up push cart located along the perimeter of the Khar Telephone Exchange, off the ever busy Linking Road. Back in the day, this place and a parking lot across from National College were the Bandra ‘food courts’ that both young and old used to frequent in the 70’s - after hours, that is. I was back at Amritsar Da Dhabha as a returning homey (some decades later). I would like to say the place has not changed, but it has. Even the push cart is a lot more well appointed than its former self. The people on the other hand - the changing of the guard has happened. The then young chef is around, more as a 'greying' mentor, and it appears that the baton has been passed on to the next generation in waiting. Once I got over the awe factor, the one-man wait staff approached me with a menu. This was late evening around 8:00 pm or so – the place was just gearing up. There were take-away orders that were being picked up. Some fashionable ladies approached the place and ordered up a storm from the comfort of their car. I took it all in – much had changed but much remained the same. Talking about ambiance in this situation doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.

Some aspects of this place had changed: most notably, it had a menu. The items on the menu were a lot more exhaustive than they had back then, but I recognized the heroes. My local friend and I ordered the Paya Soup, the Mutton Seek Kebob, the Chicken Bhuna Masala and the Chicken Kheema Masala.

The Paya Soup is essentially a lamb shank soup but loaded with spice and flavor. It was kind of like a clear soup, looked like it was simmering for quite a while before it got served; it came with a fair portion of them lamb trotters. It was a rainy day, this is what the doctor ordered. Loved it.

The Mutton Seekh Kebobs were tender and juicy. They came packed with a punch of extreme heat. The signature size was just as it was in the past, bite sized pieces. I was in food heaven. Paradoxically, it was a warm day in heaven – I was sweating.

Next came the Chicken Bhuna Masala, served with a buttered pau (local artisan bread). I watched and marveled at the way this dish was prepared. The chef dispensed a measured portion of this pre-prepared dish from a large container onto an over-sized sizzling griddle; to this he splashed a handful of water. He then cupped the resulting steam with a mould-like dish over the chicken. Moments later, the dish was served. I scooped up the steaming hot chicken pieces and the sauce with the pau. Again, I was sweating and I had an uncontrollable runny nose. Flavors exploded in my mouth and I was feeling no pain. Wish I had some beer handy – no such thing at this stall. The chicken pieces were tender, succulent and appropriately sized. I realized that we had upped the ‘heat-ante’ a bit – and we were doing this gradually. The feeling was indescribable. It could not get better.

We were stuffed and full as a tick at this point. That’s when the Chicken Kheema Masala was served. It was minced chicken (I believe there were peas; but have no clear recollection at this time) cooked like the Chicken Bhuna Masala (the steaming technique); the sauce was a little less runny. The heat quotient was off the charts. The pau came in handy. Flavor-wise, another home run.

All in all, the food was outstanding even though it was explosive from a heat level standpoint. I would certainly give food a two thumbs up.

Now to service. Despite the many orders the sole wait staff was handling, there were no errors, delays were minimal and the service was pleasant. I wondered how the wait staff kept track of all of the orders – nothing was written – and how he maintained his pleasant demeanor through it all. Service gets a two thumbs up.

I relived my youth in those forty minutes at Amritsar Da Dhabha. Not sure if my system can handle such rich food any time soon. When I have that craving again, I will certainly head out to have some more of that soul food. For those who love spicy food – and I have a lot of friends that do – do check out this place. And while you are there, check out the unique improvised steamer; there is something to be said of the technique. Enjoy!

This is a roadside stall kind of a place and you can either have a takeaway or eat in your car.. We had the Bheja Masala first along with Roomali Roti.. The Bheja Masala was mind blowing.. Really flavourful and simply bliss.. The roomali roti however was rubbery and he didn't have the normal rotis.. So after having this we went for a repeat of the same order along with mutton keema masala and pav.. Bheja once again was amazing but not the keema.. We could barely taste the meat in it probably because it was really minced and it was like only eating masala.. We paid just 770 for all this and were really stuffed so it's really good price wise too.. So do not miss out on this place and do try the Bheja Masala.. I'm surely going to come back for it..

Uttery Buttery delicious.. that's what comes to my mind whenever I visit this place. Authentic dhabha style food which is butter rich, spicy and away frm the regular makhanwalas of the world.. do visit this place for the food.

I feel honored to be the first to review this dhaba and also surprised to see no one has reviewed this place as yet. If you're a true foodie this will top your list for the most awesome spicy Punjabi meal. Everything thing on their menu is YUM! Our favorites are bheja masala, gurda kapura and the paya soup. I recommend you sit in your car and eat if you're particular about clealiness.

This is a small joint near Link road... It's been there since ages. Serves delicious food... Mutton liver, chicken bhuna is a must try. They serve in a very authentic local style. It's on the street where u have couple of chairs to sit or else people usually park their car and have it in car itself.
