What Guests Say

“ Food was actually pretty solid proper dhaba style, good flavors, nothing too fancy but it hits the spot when you’re hungry. Portions were decent too, so no complaints there. Service though… kinda slow and a bit off. Not rude or anything, just not very attentive. Had to call them a couple of times which slightly killed the vibe. Atmosphere was okay-ish. It’s not a place you go for aesthetics or vibes, more like a casual “khana khaa ke nikalte hain” type spot. Indoor seating was fine but nothing memorable. Pricing felt fair for what you get not cheap cheap, but reasonable. Overall, if you just want decent food and don’t care much about ambience or service, it works. But don’t go in expecting a great experience, just go for the food ”
“ It's like a hidden gem, not so famous amongst tourists but you've to visit the place to actually know what they serve we had non veg platter that was good. Mushroom tikka was awesome too ”
“ Kale da dhaba it’s very famous full vegetarian near Kacheri of Amritsar. Famous food is very tasty and delicious. Must visit place at the corner to the Ranjit Avenue. ”
“ A highly recommended place for authentic Punjabi non vegetarian dishes if you don’t care about the ambience. Must Try: Dal Makhani Butter Chicken Tandoori Roti We spent Rs 500/- for two and we can eat two full meals because we packed a lot as leftovers. It was so hard to find a good restaurant with consistent rating but this was easily a great bet! Love the food, taste and service. ”
“ I love authentic Indian cuisine and one of the most favorite dishes is mutton Keema Naan, for which I have a significant experience. I have often tried Keema naan at various local restaurants in Amritsar but the experience I had at Kale da Dhaba has prompted me to write this review. It was most delicious dish served with. Mutton curry,, the naan was perfectly crisped, filling was just the right amount and species on the top enhanced the taste. It was served right out of Tandoor-sizzling and the curry was hot and perfectly spiced. Highly recomended if visiting Amritsar!!! ”
