7 restaurants/restaurants in Dhabas on the Delhi-Punjab highway that you must visit for a hearty meal

When our destination is only a few hours away, we all prefer to hit the road rather than board a train or plane, just because road trips are always more enjoyable. And what made the journey all the more enjoyable was all the long lines of pubs and restaurants on the highway that made us hit the brakes for a relaxing stop. Highway food always tastes good. The richness of the curries, the richness of the spices and the authenticity of the regional cuisine – all make it a memorable one. When they say “focus on the journey, not the destination”, that definitely vibrates in our heads. The Delhi-Punjab Highway on Grand Trunk Road makes for a true food enthusiast’s trip. Almost every mile, you’ll come across a diner offering hearty dishes. It sometimes makes us confused as to where to stop.

Here we have listed out some of the most popular restaurants and dhabas on the Chandigarh-Punjab highway that are really good!

These are 7 restaurants/restaurants in Dhabas on the Delhi-Chandigarh highway that you must stop by

1. Amrik Sukhdev, Murthal

Amrik Sukhdev is definitely the most popular dhaba on NH-1. From a small dhaba to a large, multi-person business, it has gained popularity and increased its followers day by day. However, the food is still excellent, not to mention, affordable too. The tandoori parathas here are just the best. Aloo paratha, mixed vegetarian paratha and gobhi paratha are the dishes you must try. And the homemade white butter on top makes it even better. You can also try their kadhi chawal and chole bhature and hit the road with your heart and belly full.

2. Gulshan Dhaba, Murthal

If the swollen crown in Amrik Sukhdev is too much, head to Gulshan Dhaba, just a few meters away. Treat your family to a range of traditional North Indian dishes along with Chinese and Continental dishes. Everything available here will impress your taste buds. Try their indian thalis and lassi.

3. Haveli, Karnal

If you want authentic Indian food, dhaba style but in a luxurious way, the Haveli in Karnal is the ultimate destination. A spacious restaurant with ethnic interior that makes you feel like you are in Punjab. The lifelike van nestled in the corner of the restaurant adds to the highway vibe. And for entertainment, there are also horseback riding, folk singing and dancing shows.

4. Savoy Greens, Karnal

If you are traveling in a large group and want a variety to satisfy different cravings, Savoy Green will be your stop. From driving past McDonald’s for burgers and Domino’s for pizza to Chaayos for teatime snacks, Dosa Plaza for south Indian fare and Moti Mahal for Indian fare, the food court here has a something for everyone.

5. Star Neelkanth, Karnal

We have seen this place expand from a small dhaba into a multi-restaurant business in no time. It offers delicious parathas and teas in Indian restaurants and a wide variety of side dishes, south Indian dishes and other dishes from different establishments located just outside the restaurant.

6. Mannat Haveli, Murthal

Another highway attraction, Mannat Heveli on Murthal Road not only caters to your cravings but also provides a fun time for the kids. They have a separate kids area full of fun games and activities. For your Indian meal here, try their Indian thali and Amritsari chole.

7. Kanak . Garden

This is a place frequented by tourists and people living in Sonipat. The large venue offers a nutritious dining experience with authentic Punjabi-style Indian food and regular festivities and fun activities.
