Marwari Dhaba — Restaurant in Assam

I recently visited Marwadi Dhaba in Silchar for dinner, and overall it was a pleasant experience with a mix of highs and areas for improvement. The dhaba is popular for its vegetarian North Indian / Marwari fare, especially items like paneer dishes, tandoori roti/naan, and of course, the classics such as butter paneer.

What I liked:

The ambience is simple and comfortable. It feels like an honest, no-frills eatery — the kind of place where you focus more on food than décor. Lighting and seating are modest but adequate. Many visitors comment that the atmosphere is “comfortable”.

The service is generally good. Staff are helpful and prompt in taking orders, and meals arrive in reasonable time.

Price-wise, I found it quite affordable. The menu fits most budgets (INR ~200-400 per person depending on what you order). You get a generous quantity especially for paneer-based mains and breads.

What could be better:

Cleanliness/hygiene occasionally seems inconsistent. Some reviews mention that despite the modest setting, the washrooms and common areas could be better maintained.

Menu variety is somewhat limited. If you're craving more exotic or less common Marwari items, you might find the selection basic.

Some dishes like the tandoori paneer or naan occasionally come off as overpriced, considering the quality/size relative to more upscale places. A reviewer on Tripadvisor felt a naan was expensive for what it was.

Overall:

Marwadi Dhaba is a good option if you want decent vegetarian Marwari/North Indian food in Silchar without breaking the bank. It shines particularly if you appreciate hearty food over fancy presentation. For a casual meal with friends or family, it’s well-worth a try. I’d give it about 3.5 to 4...

It's near adjoining to highway.Nearby location are 4-6 km away from Rongpur, Club road and about 8 km away from Silchar railway station on a way to Lumding,Guwahati road. It's as vegetarian centric so my expectation were sky high from this. The food taste was average , quantity as compared to price was non justified. I ordered 4 types paneer dishes as this is all just they have in there menu marked as good. All were cooked in same gravy, costing were again unjustified for roti, dal , mix veg and jeera rice were not only less but not enough. In that price also that was a local kind of rice not like that what we paid for in hotel and dhaba. Night time flies, mosquito, flying insect around night lights were very common to found. Packed water not to forgot you will surely get billed as there is a shortage of fresh drinking water in this location. This review was for Dec 2022 may be if any improvement anyone notice so they can invite me, we can go there and again review that...

. I tried the Tadka with butter naan and plain roti with masala paneer. The Tadka was slightly underwhelming—while I expected a rich, hearty flavor typical of dhaba-style food, it felt a bit milder. The butter naan, however, was soft, fresh, and enjoyable.

The standout for me was the masala paneer with plain roti. It was flavorful and well-prepared, leaning towards a subtle sweetness rather than heavy spice, which made it very satisfying. Another must-try here is their special tea—absolutely delightful.

The hygiene of the place is good, and the staff are courteous and attentive. Overall, it’s a worthwhile visit, especially for the...
