Baba Ramdev Dhaba, Nigdi: For All Your Rajasthani Meal Cravings

When you think of a dhaba, you usually picture highway, bamboo furniture, rich Punjabi food slathered in ghee or butter, and the aroma of charcoal. But Shree Baba Ramdev Dhaba in Nigdi stands out in many unique ways. Apart from Punjabi food, they serve authentic Rajasthani food. From dal baati to sweet churma, gatte ki sabji to Rajasthani kadhi, you'll be spoilt for choice. On top of that, they offer an incredible variety of Rajasthani thalis as well.

Here's the complete guide to this amazing dhaba!

Known as one of the best dhabas in the PCMC area, you can visit this place if you want to have a fulfilling meal without burning a hole in your pocket. Their signature Rajasthani thalis are Rajwadi thali and Badshahi thali. Both of them include four baatis, dal, papad, onions, chaas, gulab jamun and gatte ki sabzi. Other dishes like daal makhani, paneer gravies, and other curries are available as well. Do try their Paneer Lababdar and tava rotis. In addition to these dishes, they have a delicious selection of parathas as well. When eating there, make sure you club your meals with cold beverages such as chaas or lassi. Their Ma Kanhaiya lassi is the best. For under INR 500, you and your gang can enjoy a wholesome meal.

The decor of the place is humble. The dhaba offers three types of seating: two outdoor options, one with a traditional charpai and the other with plastic tables and chairs. The main seating area is indoors, featuring an ethnic vibe with Rajasthani paintings adorning the walls. The yellow lighting gives the space a slightly dimmed, cosy ambiance.
