Dal makhani
Recommended by Jiggs Kalra and 10 other food critics.
"In my opinion, Kesar da Dhaba's maa ki dal and palak ka saag still remain unmatched. The creamy, subtly-flavoured dal paired with the fresh, fragrant leafy green vegetable concoction go perfectly with missi roti hot off the tandoor, all served with generous dollops of homemade white butter."

"Along with this we got an Aloo Gobi which I really like, a Lachha Paratha and an Aloo Paratha. Absolutely delicious food. I have not eaten better vegetarian food ever in my life."

"The hot and thick brown daal isn’t complete until it’s scooped into shallow steel bowls and topped with at least a half-stick that gradually melts in and makes for the creamiest rendition we had ever tasted."
on Dal makhani
"Famous for it’s velvety dal-makhni, Kesar Da Dhaba is an iconic place that has achieved a cult status. The dal makhni, made by simmering for 24 hours and served with dollops of ghee, is a must have here."
on Dal makhani
"His phirni is simply to die for, as is everything else – but more than the taste, it’s the overflowing dildaar spirit that remains etched in memory long after."
on Phirni
"Do order the firni – a silky smooth rice custard cooked with milk and almonds and decorated in extravagant silver paper. It’s out of this world."
on Phirni
"The rasmalai and gajjar ka halwa here are divine. So is the phirni (rice and milk dessert), sweet and feather light on the tongue."
