Bharawan Da Dhaba

Pronounced 'praa-waan', this down-to-earth Amritsar institution has been serving lip-smacking Punjabi treats since 1912. The thalis are delectable platters of dhal, channa (chickpea), and/or paneer (soft, unfermented cheese made from milk curd), served with naan, roti or rice (or all of them). The kulcha are particularly tasty and for afters, don't miss the phirni (cardamon-flavoured rice pudding; ₹35) served in cute clay pots.
