PUNJABI DHABA Indian Restaurant & Market Place

Beautiful restaurant an hour outside of Spokane. Easily worth being a destination stop on a road trip there. Every dish we had was great, but the Chicken Poprika was something I’ve never had before and will always order if I see it. It’s delicious!!!! Super rad atmosphere and I’m so happy to see people from all walks of life exploring delicious Indian Cuisine.

Don't miss this stop! Flew into Spokane from LA and stopped here for lunch on the way to Moses Lake. WOW! The ambiance and decor is so awesome, the staff was so friendly and inviting and the food is sooooo great! We started with Chai(s) they were unsweetened and mild but nice on the cool day and the Vegetarian Samosas (the flavor of these was amazing). We shared a Chicken Tikka Masala and a garlic Naan. Was the perfect amount for a light lunch for 2. If you are really hungry or more people I would get another entree. 11/10 RECOMMEND!

Not bad for Indian food in the middle of nowhere. The food was too salty and too mild. If you’ve had a lot of Indian food this maybe disappointing. The Rajma tasted closer to American chili lol, just missing beef lol. The mango lassi was the yellowest I’ve ever seen, but was a nice dessert. I tried to ask some questions about the food (what style of biryani etc) and the server couldn’t be bothered to engage. I hope they refine and succeed. Great ambiance.

Authentic food with great flavors and aromas. It was delicious. We stopped on a road trip. It was fast, yummy and would recommend! Service was great and friendly. They did a great job of fixing up the space as well. Definitely check it out if you’re in town or swing in as alternative to fast food on the road!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Punjabi Dhaba Indian Food & Market Place with my family, and overall it was a good experience. There’s plenty of parking, which made getting in and out super easy. We started with the pakora, which had nice flavor but came in a very small portion, and the fried onion pakora was a little too salty. The mango lassi was excellent—sweet, refreshing, and one of the highlights of the meal. The butter chicken and naan were both delicious, full of flavor and cooked really well. The rice portions, however, were on the smaller side, and the overall serving sizes could definitely be more generous given the prices. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but the food itself tasted fresh and authentic, and the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. All in all, a pretty good spot for Indian
