Dhillon dhaba

Flag as inappropriate It’s such a nice, good quality, well maintained dhaba and the best in this area. We had a stopover for a few minutes to rest on our road trip. We ordered tea and coffee. The area is green and clean, beautifully decorated, clean toilets with clean water. Parking is available at the entrance. Highly recommended. - Litta S

Stopped for the cheap gas (wasn't actually available yet as they're still getting things in order after the management change) and stayed for the food! Honestly some of the best food I've ever had!! The employees were super friendly and nice. Wish we lived in the area, we'd be back all the time! If you're passing through 100% make the stop. It's very tasty and fresh cooked food. Best food i ever had on some interstate restaurant. Theys have new staff and management now, just give them a chance. And for the restaurant, one suggestion, ask google maps to refresh their rating as you guys have new management now. There are a lot of people who check the rating before coming to the restaurant. Outstanding Asian Indian food in a totally unassuming truck stop. The real deal - staff spoke to one another in Hindi or some other Indian language, many locals stopped in who were clearly of Asian Indian background. Not sure why this Asian Indian outpost exists in New Mexico, but here it is. Lots of Indian spices and packaged snacks available for purchase. Food was intensely spiced, portions generous, prices reasonable. Have been to many Indian restaurants in Dallas and other...

Load Error VEGA, Tex. — Long before dawn on a frosty February morning in Dallas, Palwinder Singh rises from the mattress in his sleeper cab and prepares to haul his cargo cross-country. After five hours of driving north along U.S. 287, and then west on Interstate 40, it’s lunchtime. Singh, 30, pulls his semi off Exit 36 into Vega, a quiet town in the Texas Panhandle along the historic Route 66. For lunch, he bypasses the typical long-haul trucker menu of convenience-store snacks and heat-lamp hot dogs at the large Pilot Travel Center and instead rolls into the parking lot of a modest white building across the street. A sign on the building’s red roof spells out the words “Punjabi Dhaba” in the Punjabi language’s Gurmukhi script, with the English translation below it. The That afternoon, Singh parked his truck, decorated with colorful fabrics and ornaments called jhalars and parandas. He was promptly greeted in Punjabi by another trucker, Amandeep Singh, of Fresno, Calif., who had also stopped for lunch.
