Friends Dhaba (R)

This restaurant is probably the BEST Punjabi Restaurant (Vegetarian) in Ludhiana. I was absolutely delighted with their food and service. Here I tried authentic punjabi foods like Dal Makhani, Shahi Paneer Butter Masala and Laccha Paratha. Although the Dal Makhani was extremely oily (ghee), the other items were really good. The Dal Makhani had ghee floating on the top, which is outright unhealthy. Laccha Paratha & Shahi Paneer Butter Masala were absolutely delectable. Highly recommended for people who love Punjabi foods.

I had gone to Ludhiana for some office work, so I searched for the best hotel at night and I found out about this hotel which is very close to the railway station, so I reached this Friends Dhaba at around 9 pm. I saw that there was a lot of crowd at the Dhaba so the guard asked me to wait for 10 minutes and then I went inside the Dhaba I looked at the Dhaba menu, there were limited dishes so I ordered Dal Fry and Baingan Bharta which was quite good The staff was also very good. Whenever you go to Ludhiana, do eat at this hotel.

A must visit for any outsider visiting ludhiana, the all time favourite delicacy- their ULTIMATE DAL is just heavenly. Always a wonderful experience.

This dhabha serves the best daal tarka and laccha parantha in Ludhiana. Yummiest food. We also ordered Shahi paneer but that was not good.
