Vintage Punjabi Dhaba — Restaurant in Kerala

"I'm so glad I discovered VINTAGE PANJABI DHABS gem for vegetarian Punjabi food, and was transported to north from south with their authentic and mouth-watering dishes.

As a JAIN vegetarian, it's often challenging to find authentic and flavorful options, but this restaurant truly delivers.

The palak paneer was creamy and rich, with tender paneer and fresh spinach. The dal makhani was a highlight - perfectly cooked lentils in a velvety tomato-based sauce.

What impressed me most was the variety of options for JAIN FOOD - from classic veggie dishes like chana masala and saag aloo to innovative creations like stuffed bell peppers and paneer tikka masala. Every dish was expertly prepared and presented with love.

The service was warm and attentive, with staff happy to recommend dishes and accommodate special requests. The atmosphere was cozy

If you're a vegetarian looking for authentic and delicious Punjabi food, look no further than VINTAGE PUNJABI DHABA 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give them 10 stars if I could! Don't miss out on this...

I visited Vintage Punjabi Dhaba in Kovalam for lunch in June, drawn by its cozy, rustic vibe and promising Punjabi flavors. The setting was charming and welcoming, capturing the essence of a traditional dhaba. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel at home.

For our meal, we went with a classic combination of roti, dal, papad, curd, chana curry, gobi curry, and pickle. While the presentation was inviting, the flavors were somewhat average. The dal had a decent texture but lacked the rich depth of spices I was hoping for, and the chana and gobi curries, though well-cooked, didn’t particularly stand out. The roti was soft and fresh, pairing well with the curries, and the sides like papad and pickle added a familiar touch.

Overall, Vintage Punjabi Dhaba offers a pleasant atmosphere, but the food could be more flavorful to truly capture the Punjabi spirit. It’s a nice spot for a quick meal but might not meet expectations for those looking for bold, traditional...

I recently had dinner at Vintage Punjabi Dhaba during my visit to Kovalam, and it turned out to be a truly memorable experience. Nestled in a coastal town known for its seafood and South Indian cuisine, this place brings a refreshing taste of North India to Kerala.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was served just right. The food was the real highlight – rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite reminded me of authentic Punjabi home-style cooking, whether it was the creamy dal makhani, spicy curries, or freshly made rotis.

It’s not always easy to find good North Indian food this far south, but Vintage Punjabi Dhaba nails it – both in taste and hospitality. Also it is a pure veg restaurant. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy hearty Punjabi dishes while soaking in the coastal charm of Kovalam.

Looking forward to visiting again on...
