What began in 1974 as a roadside stop for weary truckers is today a highway landmark — still cooked on wood fire, still finished with a knob of white butter, still served on a charpai under the stars.
Five things we refuse to shortcut — because Punjab’s kitchens taught us so.
Clay oven fired at 480°C — naan, kebabs and tikkas cooked in front of you.
Hand-stretched, tandoor-blistered and brushed with white butter.
Every tadka, every paratha — finished with pure cow-ghee.
Grains, greens and spices sourced from Punjab’s farms.
Nothing hidden — watch every dish come alive.
A taste of what’s coming. The full menu spans eleven categories from Punjabi specials to desserts.
From long-haul truckers to weekend road-trippers — everything you need to eat, rest and hit the highway again.
“Twenty years on this highway and Royal Punjab still tastes like my mother’s kitchen. Best dal makhani in North India.”
Harpreet SinghTruck driver, Ludhiana
“Stopped for chai, stayed for the tandoori chicken. The charpai seating and lantern light made it feel like a Punjabi wedding.”
Anaya SharmaTraveller, Delhi
“Clean washrooms, safe kids area and phenomenal food. This is how a highway dhaba should be run.”

“Live tandoor, desi ghee tadka, and butter dripping off the naan. Screams authenticity — served on a steel thali.”
