A dhaba is a roadside restaurant in the Indian subcontinent. They are on highways, generally serve local cuisine, and also serve as truck stops.[1] They are most commonly found next to petrol stations, and most are open 24 hours a day.[2]
Dhabas are a common feature on national and state highways. Earlier frequented only by truck drivers, today eating at a dhaba, whether urban or roadside, is a trend.[3] Dhabas have additionally been established by South Asian diaspora communities in countries including the United States.[4][5]
