Kesar Da Dhaba

Kesar Da Dhaba is a famous vegetarian Punjabi dhaba[1] in Amritsar, Punjab, India, that originated as a small restaurant selling dal and roti set up by Lala Kesar Mal, a Punjabi Hindu in Sheikhupura, near Lahore in 1916.[2] It moved to Amritsar after the partition of India in 1947. Lala Lajpat Rai, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Padmini Kolhapuri, Yash Chopra and Rajesh Khanna are said to have eaten here.[3] It is a small dhaba, in a narrow lane in Chowk Passian near Town Hall.

It is famous for signature dish Dal makhani (Dal with butter).[4] They are also known for the creamy phirni served in earthen bowls.[5]

Anthony Bourdain in his "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown", stated": "If this is what vegetarianism meant in most of the places that practice it in the West, I’d be at least half as much less of a dick about the subject,".[6]
