My friend and I dined at Dhaba on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was only about 75% full, but we were stuck right by the kitchen. Every time the front door opened I got a blast of cold air. The decor was pleasant and... (more)

This is one of the horrible Indian Restaurant in US. The bread - roti/chapati was not even cooked properly. The prices are high and food is of really bad quality. After eating here I had a stomach upset next day. I... (more)

I feel I know good Indian food. I've been to an Indian wedding and have eaten at many restaurants. I can sum up the whole meal by calling it mediocre. I was very hungry when we got there, and I wasn't hungry at the end--this... (more)

I was with a wanna be indian foodie... She LOVED this place. I have never been crazy about indian food- and I loved it. I have been back several times and always have the best service. It is cozy and warm- looks like a... (more)

I ordered from Dhaba for the first time, for delivery, and I am very disapointed. The food quality was OK, but it took twice as long to get my food because "the delivery guy got lost." I won't be ordering again from Dhaba.... (more)

I agree with the others: Avoid: Overpriced and less than average quality (more)

If you are looking for a truly undistinguished and mediocre Indian dining experience head on down. Most Indian restaurants at least get the bread right -- these guys will serve you 15 cent packaged grocery store... (more)

Ok but not worth it: The dishes are decent to mediocre and arrived warm, not hot. Price tag is high for what you get. Worst part was the use of a crinkly old brown bag to bag our leftovers.... (more)

After reading some of the other reviews I wasn't sure what to expect, but overall I was pleasantly surprised. I had been to Dhaba many years ago and the first thing I noticed is that they must have spruced up the place. It... (more)

This is one of my childrens favorite restaurants and they often ask to be taken here. I live in Hollywood and it's a bit out of the way but when spending the day at the Santa Monica Beach or at the pier, it's a great way to end... (more)

This is the worst Indian food I have ever eaten. The naan did not taste fresh. I agree with the previous reviewer about the Saag Paneer. I could not believe the bright green color and upon eating, it was tasteless. On top... (more)

I would consider myself a good critic of Indian food. Having grown up in India I have eaten the best Indian food and the worst. This food was the worst. The Nahns were not made fresh, in house. The Saag Paneer was made with... (more)

Something about the food at Dhaba seemed different from other Indian restaurants. For example, Dhaba's saag was very green and tasted like fresh spinach. The Tofu Mattar was a nice surprise as well, with large cubes... (more)

Spending a lot more time in the Santa Monica/Venice area lately, I've been looking for a good Indian place that's on or close to Main. And Dhaba is a nice, welcoming place. The food is good, not the best, but the Aloo... (more)
