Since 1971
About us
A Punjabi dhaba that grew into Kota's pure-veg institution.
The kitchen
Fed by habit, not by trend
Amar Punjabi Foods & Dhaba has been cooking in Kota for more than fifty years. What began as a few charpoys beside the highway is now two busy kitchens, a catering team and a delivery fleet — still run by the same family, still entirely vegetarian.
Our butter paneer, dal tadka, malai kofta and lachha paratha taste the way regulars remember them because the method has never changed: fresh produce every morning, ghee not oil, and gravies that are allowed to take their time.
Taste it yourself
What we stand for
Four rules we never break
Pure vegetarian, always
No eggs, no meat, no shortcuts. One kitchen, one promise since day one.
Cooked to order
Gravies finished when you order, breads pulled straight from the tandoor.
Our own masalas
Whole spices roasted and ground in-house every morning — never bought in.
Fifty years of practice
Three generations of the same family standing at the same stoves.

Five decades, one recipe book
