Vicky Da Dhaba

You can find Vicky Da Dhaba right on G T Road in Sahibabad, near Ram Krishna Bihar. Being on such a major road means we see all sorts of people, from truck drivers who have been driving for ten hours straight to local families looking for a quick dinner. We’ve got Shop No-1, so we are right at the start of the row. The kitchen is always going, usually with a big pot of tea on the stove and something frying. It gets loud here with the trucks rumbling past and the radio playing in the background. We keep the benches simple and the food served hot. There’s no fancy menu with pictures; we just tell you what’s fresh today. People come for the convenience and because they know they’ll get a full stomach. Ghaziabad is a busy place, and 201005 is no exception. We spend a lot of time cleaning up after the rush and getting ready for the next one. It’s a family-run kind of thing, so you might see some of us arguing in the back or sitting down for a quick break when it’s quiet. We don't pretend to be a fine dining restaurant. It’s just a dhaba where you can get a decent meal without any drama. Just pull over and find a seat. We try to make sure there is always enough salt in the dal and the rotis are soft.
