Dhaba Estd. 1986 Delhi, Kondapur

The Punjabi food here was truly delightful and full of authentic flavours. The chicken was incredibly soft and perfectly cooked, making every bite enjoyable. The lassi was thick, creamy, and refreshing, just the way a traditional Punjabi lassi should be. The vegetarian dishes were equally impressive, packed with rich spices and a comforting homemade taste. Overall, the entire meal felt wholesome and satisfying, offering a great balance of quality, taste, and texture. This place definitely knows how to deliver hearty Punjabi cuisine that leaves you wanting to come back for more.

The food here is really tasty and full of authentic North Indian flavors. The ambience is pleasant. Prices are a bit high, but the quality makes it worth it. A great spot if you’re in the mood for Punjabi-style food in Hyderabad.

We visited Dhaba Estd. 1986 in Kondapur and had a really satisfying experience. We tried the Tamatar Dhaniye ka Shorba, Dahi Ke Kebab, Dhabe ka Paneer, Dal Tadka and ended the meal with Rabdi. Each dish carried that signature dhaba-style richness and comforting flavors that this chain is known for. The shorba was light yet flavorful, the kebabs were crisp outside and soft inside, and the paneer dish was packed with spices and taste. The dal had a nice homely touch, and the rabdi was a perfect sweet ending. This restaurant chain has always been consistent in quality, and the Kondapur outlet continues that tradition of serving hearty, tasty food in a vibrant setting. Definitely a place we enjoy going back to!

Many items were there in the buffet, please look into the pictures for rating. Overall amazing starters, little but tasty main course. Decent deserts. Shikanji was also very tasty.

Food was just awesome, service was a little slow since they were housefull and atmosphere was pretty good. Their Paneer dhaba special is amazing. Never had such awesome paneer in my life.

TL;DR: Delicious Authentic Food, Exceptional Polite Service, and a Good Ambiance. Food Recommendations • Must Try: Handy Chicken, Paneer Kadai, Aloo Kare Chaat • Can Skip: Palak Chat, Kala Shah Kala Kukkad We visited Dhaba ESTD 1986 on a Saturday afternoon and were happy to find that it wasn't busy, so we were seated immediately. This is the perfect place for anyone wanting to enjoy a meal with family, friends, or a partner. The service was notably polite and helpful. Although our initial order of chole had a bit too much tang, the staff promptly and politely replaced it with an absolutely amazing Paneer Kadai. The Handy Chicken was also a standout, tasting authentic and pairing perfectly with the fresh Tandoori breads. While some starters like the Palak Chat and Kala Shah Kala Kukkad didn’t quite hit the mark, the fantastic Aloo Kare Chaat made up for it. Overall, it's a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Punjabi cuisine.

One of the finest places for best North Indian Food in Madhapur, Hitech city, Kondapur area. We ordered Dal Makhni, Subzi Patiala. Both are very tasty. Right amount of spice, not too much not too less. Dal Makhani has creamy texture. We ordered Laccha Parantha, Tandoori Roti. Service was very very fast. And waiters were kind and careful. They give complimentary Fryums at the start. It was little expensive. Other than that all good. Must visit restaurant. Check for swiggy/ zomato dine in offers
