Dhaba Express Indian Cuisine: Reviews & Ratings
It's our go to place when we are in the neighborhood. Both the Shahi paneer and butter chicken are our favorites.
The best samosas, butter chicken, saag and roti I've had in a long time. Food came out hot and freshly made. Definitely going back.
A real treat and oasis right off the I5. Quick, easy and the food was absolutely delicious. Ordered some samosas, rice and Malai Kofta. There was a tent set up outdoors with tables and chairs and a breeze but was really hot outside so we opted to take it to go and found a tree to park under and eat. If you want some great food, do yourself a favor and stop here.
Great stop for a quick bite on I-5. Enjoyed fresh chai and samosas with mango lassi. Ideal for take out but they do have 3 high stools and table to ear.
I enjoy Indian food and have been for a long time... this was ridiculously good. I ordered the $20 plate. With samosa (came with jam) super good. No to sweet. Garlic Naan cause if you know you know and the butter chicken! The flavors on the butter chicken were an instant hit for me! Definitely would return. it's at a gas station and no bathrooms but does have minimal seating. For that reason they get a 4 star.
