Great service and food! Don't let the location fool you, the food is great and the owner is very generous!

Visiting for a conference I was very pleased to find Dhaba. The food was the best Indian food I have had in years. The Channa Masala was amazing. The garlic naan freshly made and served warm. The samosas equally tasty! If you have not been here yet, be sure to stop by. I'll be heading back for another meal soon! The service was first class with Peter providing a great conversation while I waited for my dinner. read more

Honestly I just found this spot and it didn't disappoint I honestly wish i could keep it to my self but I am not like that I really hope people come check this place out read more

The food is amazing. We had Dal Tadka with rice and garlic naan. Freshly made, you could taste the fresh spices. Absolutely wonderful. We'll be coming back for more. Located in a food court mall at Laurel Place but don't let that fool you. Traditional northern Indian food at its best. Better than any I've had in Farmington area. read more

Food was good, they don't refrigerate their soda, mall food court but they are the only place there. My worry with places like this is that they don't get enough traffic and the food may be old or re-heated. But like I said: what I ordered tasted ok. Unfortunately, the mall has been quite deserted since our dictator governor illegally shut down businesses without any due process or compensation. read more

This is a mom and pop indian place. Hands down the best indian take out food in the tri county area. The butter chicken is what my husband always gets but i love the lamb biryiani or the chicken korma. The naan is incredible. Good flavors, preparation is always spot on, and if there is ever anything wrong, they bend over backwards to make it right. Ive been coming here for at least 8years -Nothing is microwaved and i have yet to eat a bad dish. read more

Try the butter chicken and naan good and light spice. The guy working to make the food is very polite and recommended us the butter chicken and delivered good service. read more

I had Dhaba at St Joe's hospital one day and for a "fast food" style way of serving in the cafeteria it was tasty and even a little spicy! I can't wait to try them at their brick and mortar. read more

Dhaba Indian Kitchen - Purchased at Trinity Health Ann Arbor, tasty and they were able to add a little extra spice Channa Masala vegan - Indian Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Rediscovered Dhaba in their new location inside Laurel Park mall (in the main food court). My wife and I used to order from them in the gas station. Butter chicken, lamb curry, garlic naan, samosas and side of hot/spicy chutney. As good as ever and the owner remembered us from the old days. We'll be back, or order from DoorDash in the future. read more

I ordered takeout and this food tasted okay but my entire family including me and my boyfriend got sick from eating this. I was was throwing up and my family had bad stomachs. Probably food posioning read more

They are inside of a gas station. Small place. No dine-in at all. Big kitchen. We ordered the aloo gobi, butter chicken, dal makhani and Chana masala. I am bummed they don't have any Dosa or bhindi masala at all, two items that make our Indian meal complete. Limited menu due to its size, most likely. $42 total. They have been here for 7 years. Super friendly family that runs it. Food would take about 10-15 minutes to make it for us. The owner gave me a little ramekin of pickled vegetables with her meal. She let me know that there was no wheat in it at all. A couple of the other people waiting here said the food was good. That's why you never know where the good foods are located. Kept an open mind. The food was stacked in the paper bag and in a second plastic bag. Each of the Styrofoam containers were wrapped with foil wrapping too. All of the food was still hot after a 25 minute drive home. The lentils are good. I forgot to ask for all of the dishes to be medium spice. They must've just made it a regular or mild spice instead. The Channa masala is good. I can taste bits of fresh ginger in it and it has good flavoring to it. The Dal Makani is good. It's chock full of little pieces of brown lentil in it. It's quite tasty. The aloo gobi has lots of potatoes in it, it has so much more potatoes than cauliflower, that's a good thing. It's quite good as well. Not super saucy, more of a dry sauce. The butter chicken is super creamy. It's more creamy than it is sweet or spicy. It's not bad, too milky and creamy for my taste though. The service here is good. Food was also good as well. read more

I have mixed feelings about Dhaba Indian Kitchen and I think the 3 star rating is appropriate here... At a high level, I went into the restaurant expecting great value while in a modest package (especially since everyone called back to the roots of this style of restaurant). I think they deliver on the experience of finding good tasting food in an unexpected location... but I'm afraid that might be extent of it. From a pragmatic perspective, Dhaba Indian Kitchen makes it easy to order and pick up food (online ordering is available, and there's an easy way to pick up once you enter the storefront -- definitely appreciated during the pandemic. The value proposition is what gets me. The taste of the food is solid, but not amazing... From my perspective, there are 3 elements that you can tweak here: taste, appeal, and price. In my experience so far, Dhaba provides decent taste, but too much of the appeal leans on how the restaurant is presented, and the prices are too high for just decent food. I'd expect either amazing food for this kind of price, or a lower price showing this as a value option. As it stands, it's just not a compelling choice among the numerous Indian takeout options in the area. read more

You wrote a review for Dhaba Indian Kitchen 2 minutes ago 2/28/2021 Dhaba Indian Kitchen is a hidden gem located inside of the BP Gas Station. Our friends told us about this place and we had to try it! We ordered samosas, naan, Kadai lamb, and Baingan Bharta. You can order the food mild, medium, or hot. We selected medium all around and it was pretty spicy! The two entrees came with rice. Overall, it was a lot of food for two but we ate it all because it was so tasty! We look forward to ordering Dhaba again! read more

This restaurant had a pop-up at the tower I work in for Fooda service. I have eaten from 50 plus vendors at this site and this was by FAR The best food I've ever had from Fooda. A+++ 10/10 cant wait til they return to my work. read more

Horrible food and service. The owner needs training in customer service. Palak paneer from this place has crushed paneer in gravy - yuck! Naan from this restaurant is really small. Check your order! We were charged for our order but not all items were given. No apology for the miss either! Will never go back. read more

Finally got to order from this place after hearing how delicious it was! I ordered the butter chicken with a side of garlic naan. Both were really good!! I ordered with medium spice and it came out perfect and quite flavorful. I'm obsessed with naan so the garlic naan was definitely a winner. I do wish there was more to choose from on the menu for meat dishes and the prices were a tad high but overall everything was great. read more

Great Indian food located in the food court of Laurel Park Place! 10/10 recommend. Service was nice and quick

Their curry isn't overly spicy. But yet very flavorful. This place is so far my favorite restaurant when I crave for Indian curry. All Indian restaurant that I been to are really spicy even though I ask for mild. I can enjoy their curry without overwhelmed by spiciness and my all kids loves it too. I highly recommend this place. They are located inside gas station. Who knew you can get good from gas station. read more

Get the Butter Chicken! It's awesome! Everything is very good! Extremely friendly service too. You can grab an adult beverage at the indoor store while you are there. It's a gas station, so don't let that stop you from ordering! You will love it! Very quick to get my order. Can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu! Butter Chicken and get it spicy! I got the middle level, next time I'm gonna have the hot spicy ! read more

Standard Indian fare with kind and quick service. Garlic naan is perfect. Chicken in the tikka masala is a little firm (normally tikka masala chicken is incredibly tender), but the sauce is tasty and onion-forward. Amount of food is about average for the price in town. Would recommend to anyone looking to fill an Indian food craving. read more

Great takeout Indian restaurant. Price is reasonable and the quality is very good. I like their lamb butter masala and their samosas. No frills place that is good for takeout only. read more

Got via grub hub and food was delivered right on time and correctly. Rice was aromatic and delicious. Chicken tikka masala has veggies in it which was nice but wish it was a bit spicier (I ordered medium, will go with hot next time). Malai kofta was good and big portion with 6 balls. Naan was tasty but not the best I've had. May be partially due to delivery time. Overall a solid place for Punjabi takeout!! Will definitely order again. read more

Ashu warmly greeted us, such an outstanding first impression! We ordered the samosas, Chicken Biryani (North Indian), butter chicken and naan. We loved it! Samosas were to die for with their chick pea chutney, You could order two orders of that and leave satisfied, but then you miss the wonderful blend of flavors in the Biryani! Generous portion of dark meat with a perfect blend of spices and rice that will keep you coming back for more! Thank you for the great service and wonderful food! What better way to celebrate our 16th anniversary , content with enjoying simple pleasures! read more

Dhaba Indian Kitchen - Indian Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Dhaba Indian Kitchen catered a luncheon for our office yesterday - this was my first time trying their food and it won't be my last! The food was flavorful and perfect. They had a variety of dishes that were all good at varying spice levels. As far as the catering - from my perspective it was well organized and clean. The presentation was professional and easy to access amongst my colleagues. read more

Overall the food is pretty darn good. The sizes are small for the price, but the taste supercedes that. I think their sizes are more of a lunch portion. The portion leaves you wanting for more if this is your dinner. When they first moved over to Laurel Park Place we kept getting told they would open by a certain date that actually was months later. We found other Indian restaurants to satisfy our palate until they finally opened. They opened with very few items on their menu, and VERY limited hours. They have added a few more items, but nothing compared to their menu when they were in the gas station off of Haggerty Road. We have missed their Malai Kofta, and Chicken Tikka, amongst a few items. A lot of their sauces taste like the same basic sauce with maybe a basic addition of a different spice or two added to the specific dish. We noticed that they stopped filling their carry-containers as full as well. If they are going to make it in this area they need to give you enough to fill your container properly, possibly offer two sizes... a lunch or dinner. I am not talking about the lunch bowls they now have, but the individual white carry out containers. Their hours are only Thurs.-Sun. which really limits when you want to fill your tummy. The owners are nice. The Mrs. Is a very warm and chatty woman, but she is never there anymore. It would help if they did an advertising blitz in Livonia, Farmington Hills, and Northville. The taste of their food is truly top tier. Probably in the top 5 Indian restaurants in the surrounding area. This is a compliment to the highest degree considering the amount of Indian cuisine in the area. There are lots. Bring back the Malai Kofta and the Chicken Tikka. read more

When we moved to the area there was a lot of talk amongst friends about a desi food place situated in a gas station. This immediately brought back fond memories of Dhabas in India - basically roadside eateries serving authentic local fare at reasonable prices. Our visit here though was pretty disappointing and I'll share why. The place itself was very drab looking - I get the concept of a Dhaba but that really doesn't mean boring looking. Nothing exceptional about the food either - average tasting if I could sum it up. And the prices are definitely on the higher end plus super stingy portion sizes. Mind you its a super basic takeaway counter. Very disappointed that this place didn't turn out the way we expected. read more

Heard good things about this place and finally decided to give it a shot. For me it was Sub par taste and limited quantity. Another place that is one and done for me. If I still have an hankering for Indian food, if I go down south 2 more miles, prob have better and broader options. read more

Absolutely delicious carry out spot! The employees were incredibly nice and foos was top notch.

Service is very friendly and i just tasted their chicken curry sooo good i havent had good curry in a while, something hits different in this place will be back for more read more

They tried bring punjabi style food. But its not what you can expect from a punjabi dhaba still okay based on the indian food standard in USA read more

Butter chicken, garlic naan and paneer pakora. Where to start? Um, go here and order anything on the menu. The butter chicken was seasoned perfectly, cooked perfectly and tasted perfect. The garlic naan was to die for..... The pakora was amazing... I love this place... read more

Gas station Indian food.... Aren't you just asking for it if you roll the dice on that? Let me assure you that this is one cliche that does not fit! I ordered the Butter Chicken, the Dal Mahkani, and the Butter Nahn. I've been to India 7 times and this was as authentic as anything I ate over there. It wasn't the best Dal I've ever had but it was right up there. The Butter Chicken was the bomb and seasoned perfectly. One tip.... When they ask how spicy you want the food.... Know that whatever you order is going to be pretty spicy. I love a little heat but my request for medium level spice was almost too much for me. I saw two downsides to the experience that were minimal. First, there is only take out.. That can be hard if you're a part of the hotel crowd like I was. The second is the location. There is only a small sign on the front of the gas station and no street sign at the road. This makes it very hard to find. However.... The treasure was worth the hunt! They encouraged me to order through Yelp! Next time to expedite my order. Had I know more about it I would have. Don't miss this awesome food if you're looking for good Indian Food in Detroit! read more

Dhaba Indian Kitchen - Butter Chicken doesn't get any better than this! - Indian Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

butter chicken is delicious! the chicken is so tender and fresh and the sauce has really good flavor, although it is creamier than spicy. the prices are really great for the portion sizes. read more

Ambiance: Place is right inside to the right when you enter the gas station. It's pretty obvious they're renting the place and using part of it to for storage. There is no real good sitting or waiting area really so be prepared to sit in your car or stand awkwardly while your food is being prepared. The mom that owns the place was super nice however and our food was ready in about 10-15 minutes. Don't be surprised if they ring you up with their iPad, they're keeping overhead to a minimum. Food: We got the chicken korma and chicken tikka masala with a side of garlic naan. Both dishes were surprisingly good with nice complex flavors and tender chicken. It wasn't the best indian food i've had but it is definitely a notch or two over your standard mediocre-fare. We got our dishes "medium" and they weren't really spicy at all to our pepper-hardened palates. The naan had a good texture but was very plain and flavorless like it needed salt or some more yogurt. Dhaba, as it says on the menu, refers to a road-side food station so its no suprise they decided to set up near a gas station. Definitely don't let that fact put you off as it is remarkably good considering neighboring indian options. I would gladly come here again although maybe during the lunch special as the $11-14 prices for the dishes seem a little steep. The portions are filling however those prices can buy you a sit-down experience and comparable flavors in a different part of town. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Someone recommended this carry out only Indian food place, located in the BP. It really has great food! We had the buttered chicken and 2 vegetarian dishes that came with basmati rice. We ordered the roti and naan. My kids loved our dinner selections! Convenient location to also ad a soft drink etc. read more

Just had it for the first time. Amazingly spicy chicken curry yet with the perfect taste. The spice doesn't over do the flavor despite it being pretty spicy, which is how I like it. Just absolutely delicious. Best Indian food in the area by far. read more

If you are looking for unique Indian flavors that consistently deliver on taste and quality, Dhaba Indian Kitchen is it. It's a carry out only, and dishes are all priced accordingly.Their chutneys - tamarind and onion served with samosas are to die for. I am a foodie and have eaten at many many Indian restaurants but nothing comes close to these in flavor and authenticity. Dal makhani, shahi paneer, saag paneer were all perfectly seasoned and delicious. Hands down the best indian restaurant!!! read more

Pretty consistent good food, I have no complaints. Go for these guys if you want deceit indian food,

I'm a huge fan of Indian cuisine from all regions, but this food is really exceptional! The flavors are perfectly balanced, the meat perfectly moist and flavorful, and the dishes are topped with a healthy dose of fresh herbs! The cherry on top: the management is warm and incredibly welcoming. They treated me and my child very sweetly. You will pleasantly be surprised to find such amazing quality food coming out of a gas station .... This totally beats that sad gas station coffee and greasy rotating sausages. ... GO to Dhaba right NOW! You will be so very glad you made the choice :-) read more

Fantastic Indian food! and yes, in a gas station!! Go and try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
