In India usually when we want to eat the best food we will move near any village or near Highway where there is place called Dhaba (very small hotel) ...... where u have to sit on the bed which is made of khathi..(its a thread which covers the bed) now u dont get a dish but u get a dish made of leaf... and yum the food at Dhaba is good.... its heaven
well ppl like me have been to your country, and i'm well aware of what
a dhaba is... it's most definately NOT a small motel... in comparison to
america, it's like driving down to the ghetto and eating food next to a
garbage dump. there's dogs and cats running around constantly begging
for food, and all the aluminum bowls/plates are hand-washed... yeah you
get a plantain leaf to eat on (not true of all dhabas), but the food they
serve is good, kinda homemade-feel to it, but i most certainly would not
consider it the 'best' food... its what road travelers eat on a long journey
between destinations for the most part.
I beg to differ. Looks like you went to the wrong place. Dhabas are really nice places to have food during travelling. The food is home made and usually very tasty. There are some ones though like the ones you mentioned. Dhabas are really godsends for even us, native travellers going to another part of our country. And usually the dhaba owners are very friendly people, pointing out some beautiful places you could visit on the way
