Janta Vashno Dhaba

You can find Janta Vashno Dhaba on Lawrence Road in Amritsar. We are right across from the Nehru shopping complex, so it’s a very easy place to spot if you are walking around the market. This part of Amritsar is always crowded with shoppers and people going to work. We are a traditional dhaba, which means things are simple and straightforward here. We don't have air conditioning or fancy table cloths. The benches and tables are there for anyone who wants to sit down. We start our day very early in the morning to get the stove going and the dough ready. There is always a lot of steam and the smell of spices in the air. Our address is 143001 and we have been part of this street for a long time. The staff is just a few of us who work in the kitchen and serve the food. We don't have a manager in a suit or any corporate rules. We just talk to people like they are neighbors. It’s a bit noisy because of the traffic on Lawrence Road, but that is just how life is here. We focus on keeping the pots full and the floor swept. We don't use any fancy marketing words to get people in. People come because they know where we are and what we do. It’s just a local dhaba run by regular people for everyone.
