Location: Delhi-Agra Highway (NH2)
The first choice from the
plethora of dhabas for us was the Pappu Dhaba located midway between Delhi and
Agra. Now you have to understand that there is loads of competition among these
joints so there can be variations of pappu dhaba. So, be careful and go to the
Asli Pappu Dhaba. That’s the authentic. Be prepared to wait for 10-15 mins for
a table and another 15-20 mins for food. You might get lucky someday ;-)
Dhabas are one of the best things
about North India highways. Imagine going out with friends in the middle of the
night and stopping for parathe and chai
. Or travelling between cities and stopping by for a hearty punjabi meal. Having
food in the open at a dhaba during winters adds charm to the whole experience. This
is something you cannot do down South.
The highways are dotted with
clusters of little dhabas. Some great and some well … meh. Someone not familiar
with the dhabas might land up at a very okay-ish kinda place and ruin the
experience. So, all you lovely people reading this post, let me enlighten you.
The Delhi-Agra NH-2 was the most frequently
travelled by me. It was mostly on the weekends with a bunch of friends.
Stopping for food was a must.

Speciality here are the Parathas!
You can order Tandoori or Tawa. And choose between Aloo, Gobhi, Paneer, Mix
Veg., Onion, Mooli etc. etc. Huge in size, very rich in taste and soaked in
ghee … it’s how I can best describe them.
Add a dollop of butter on top if you may :-p. They go very well with Dal Makhani
and Curd. Of course a plateful of Tandoori rotis and Paneer are the people’s
choice at any dhaba. And after all the food is eaten and gone, a glass of Chai
is something you shouldn’t miss. Check out the menu on the left.
Easy on your pocket and great in
taste, dhabas make up for one of the best gastronomical delights in northern
India. I simply love them and always always visit one on my trips to UP/Delhi.
Some other great dhabas on NH2 are: Haveli (on way to Chandigarh), Gulshan (Delhi-Agra), Murthal (on way to Chandigarh), Sureya (Delhi-Agra, near Palwal), Akashdeep (Delhi-Agra, near Sikandara)
So HOMP at Pappu ...
