Our kitchen story
Three generations at one tandoor.
Pankaj Ka Dhaba began as a single roadside kitchen on NH-320, feeding truck drivers, families and long-distance travellers with unhurried, slow-cooked food. Three generations later, the same recipes anchor the menu at every Hotel Priyal Group property — no shortcuts, no colouring, no compromise.
- Fresh masalas ground every morning
- Meats sourced from certified local suppliers
- Cold-pressed mustard oil & desi ghee
- Zero food-colouring, zero re-heated gravies
