Tucked away in Mangalore’s bustling foodscape, Punjabi Dhaba channels the spirit of North-Indian roadside eateries into a compact, neon-lit joint where diesel fumes are replaced by coastal sea-breeze. Within its saffron-washed walls, tandoors hiss as they hit South-Karnataka humidity, turning out Amritsari kulchas that blister like local bhakri, while buttery dal simmers long enough to blur regional borders. Here, truckers, students and spice traders share steel thalis, proving that India’s restaurant story is written one cross-cultural bite at a time.

More information
Where exactly is Punjabi Dhaba in Mangaluru?
Punjabi Dhaba is tucked into the lower ground floor of Mischief Mall on KSR Road, right opposite the LIC building and a stone’s throw from the Sharavu Ganapathi Temple Road in Hampankatta, making it one of the most centrally located North-Indian restaurants in the city.
How can I reserve a table or ask about the menu?
Simply call the restaurant’s landline at +91 824 426 4440 during business hours and the staff will confirm availability or guide you through the tandoor, curry and thali options featured on their website http://punjabidhabamlr.com/.
Does Punjabi Dhaba deliver or is it dine-in only?
While the outlet is primarily a full-service dine-in experience with 4.5-star ratings for its ambience and live kulcha counter, they also partner with major food-delivery apps so you can enjoy the same robust gravies and butter naans at home anywhere in Mangaluru.
Is the food authentically Punjabi or adapted to local tastes?
The chefs hail from Amritsar and Ludhiana, so the dal makhani simmers overnight on a slow tandoor and the lassi is churned with original malai, yet spice levels can be toned down on request to suit coastal Karnataka palates without losing the dhaba soul.
