WOW! My family and I stayed the night in the area during a road trip, and we stumbled upon this restaurant. We were so happy we did! We ordered butter chicken, lamb masala, chicken biryani, tandoori chicken, some vegetable dishes, and garlic naan. Literally everything was on point! I almost find it ironic that one of the best Indian food I've ever had is somewhat in the middle of nowhere. Excellent flavor in all the dishes! Just a heads up--we ordered everything mild spice level, but my mom couldn't handle it. So if you don't have spice tolerance, just be aware. It's also good to keep in mind that everything is made to order. So you're getting a fresh, homestyle meal. There might be a wait, but it's well worth it! They do get busy, so please be patient. We received very good service despite how backed up they seemed. If we're ever in the area again, we would definitely eat here again! read more

Sher-E Punjab Dhaba Indian Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Wells, Nevada

Sher-E Punjab Dhaba Indian Restaurant. Wells, NV. June, 2026. My husband and I had a long driving day, traveling from Jackpot, NV to Great Basin National Park. We stopped in Wells, NV at a Conoco station for gas -- near the intersection of Interstate 80 and 93-South. We were pleasantly surprised to see an Indian restaurant (or ANY restaurant in this quite isolated area) next door and decided to drop in to see if they offered any Indian snacks that we might take with us on our onward-journey. The menu showed that they offered samosas (2/$5), but they would need to be freshly fried. We put in our order for four samosas -- and then waited, and waited, and waited, and waited some more, along with 4-5 other patrons also waiting for their take-out orders. The waiter had estimated that it would take 10 minutes for our order, whereas in fact it took more than 30 minutes. This is just too long for travelers who need to log a lot of driving hours on a given day. The restaurant might consider having some ready-made snacks in the counter at front, or even to sell them at the gas station. Once we actually received the samosas, they were excellent. Nicely-spiced and hot, served with a cooling chutney. We ate 2 on-the-spot, and saved two for the road. The restaurant's decor is attractive, and the tables were clean. There's plentiful free parking. Our ratings: Food: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Friendliness: 3/5 Value: 3/5 (samosas were well-priced. Entrees on the menu seemed a bit pricey). Wait time: 1/5 read more

Wells is a very small town with limited dining options. We found ourselves in an overnight stay during a road trip and were able to walk here from the hotel. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the mango chicken, chicken vindaloo, rice, garlic naan. The service was quick and the portions were generous enough that we had enough for a meal the next day. Others have indicated that the restaurant was loud but we didn't have that experience. We sat under the tv which had music playing. There were a fair amount of people dining and a lot of take out orders. Highly recommend read more

Great food and great service. Really enjoyed our dinner. definitely recommend stopping here.

I will definitely stop here and have Indian food while charging up the Tesla. Chip and I ordered palak paneer, rice and garlic naan. My cravings were satisfied. And I noticed other Indians come here to eat. So must be Authentic and tasty. But I had to wait for made to order dishes. But within the 50 minute time to charge for a 250 KW/hr to 95%. A Slower time to charge compared to a faster 325 KW at the Wendover Peppermill casino. Next time on my way to Lake Tahoe I will try my luck at the Wells, casino next to Dunkin' Donuts. FYI, I had the best luck in Winnemucca while charging the Tesla!!! read more

The food taste was decent, but the customer service was terrible. The female cashier was incredibly rude and constantly blamed her coworker for the late order delivery, instead of taking responsibility for their mistake. I won't go there again, because of her attitude and their painfully slow service. read more

Food was great - I got my favorite veggie dish - bhindi masala, with my favorite side, garlic naan. Naan is on the thinner crispier side. Nice and flavorful. Service was slower than expected, I think it took 20-30min for food to arrive despite the restaurant being pretty empty (only 2 other small tables). I think they were busy with take out/drive thru orders. Mango lassi was served in a glass which is great because I hate when they come in a plastic cup. I don't like microplastics so I try to avoid using a straw whenever possible. Would come back and probably ask for spicy. They forgot to ask me for spice level and I forgot to ask them for spice. Usually I'm used to servers asking me for spice level. Only giving a 4 because of slow service. Food was good and people were friendly. read more

Sher-E Punjab Dhaba Indian Restaurant - Garlic naan and bindi masala - Indian Near Me - Wells, Nevada

I was driving to Idaho Falls to visit my son and his family. I suddenly had the urge to find in the middle of nowhere (no disrespect at all intended) an Indian restaurant. I did a google search and found a delightful family friendly restaurant serving good food. Right off Interstate 80 with a picturesque view of the mountains and in close proximity to an Hampton Inn. The food was terrific and served well. The truckers that do the heavy lifting for us consumers get to park their massive beasts in the parking lot and enjoy some authentic freshly prepared food. I enjoyed it. Bravo Sher-e- Punjab read more

I was just passing through and staying in Wells for just a night. Usually on trips like this, I end up getting just burgers or pizza. However, I saw the Sher-E right by my hotel, so I wanted to give it a try. This was honestly some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The lamb korma was perfectly flavored with just the right amount of spice. The rice was fluffy and flavorful. The garlic naan certainly had plenty of garlic on it and was prepared just right -- a little crispness but still with some soft parts that could soak up some of that amazing sauce from the Lamb Korma. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd definitely dine here again. read more

Sher-E Punjab Dhaba Indian Restaurant - Garlic Naan, Jasmine rice, and lamb korma - Indian Near Me - Wells, Nevada

Waited an hour for the food to be made. Ordered chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. Each container of food had about 5 pieces of chicken and about huge amount of sauce. Paid like $60 for butter sauce and tikka sauce. Never again. For shame. read more

The service is amazing the food surpasses what we expected. It was delicious. If you don't like heat ask for mild. I don't know how it only has 4 stars. My grandson wanted to stop here and I wasn't even hungry. As soon as I took the first bite my body wanted more. I am on my second helping. If you want authentic Indian food, stop here. My daughter says if you want something to make your body feel better stop here. An oasis of flavor in the middle of nowhere. read more

They apparently don't offer table service on Mondays. This would have been useful info and saved us the stop. I don't eat Indian food in the car or outside at a picnic table on a cold windy day. So no, I have no idea if the food is as good as others say it is. read more

Service is terrible. Guy looked at me multiple times and never spoke. After I sat down I left 20 min later because nobody ever came to take my order. read more

The food was AMAZING, maybe the best Indian food I've ever had, and there is plenty where I cone from (socal). Lamb Karahi was to die for. I wouldn't be surprised if the lamb was locally raised, it was so fresh and tender. The service was really slow but I think this is because the food is cooked from scratch with no shortcuts - that is how it tastes. Lots of fun if somewhat random holiday decor plus some Indian items adds to the charm! read more

delicious. we got butter chicken. veggie korma and chicken pakora. garlic naan. everything was spot on..very delicious. service good considering how busy they are with lots of to go orders. nice ambience and clean dining. their bathroom is very clean with provisions of sanitary pads tampons and even baby wipes read more

Who would've expected fantastic Indian food in Wells Nevada? After searching around it was clear. This was the hands-down choice for lunch today. We had it into the restaurant around 2 o'clock this afternoon and we were the only patrons there although they were doing a brisk takeout business. The service was gracious the young man who waited on us insisted on us having some chai tea since it was a very cold day, the chai was delicious and it warmed up our hands as we waited for our food. We ordered samosas for an appetizer, garlic, naan, and chickened Vindaloo as the main course accompanied by basmati rice. Wow, I have to say I haven't had such good Indian food in such a long time. The garlic naan was light and flavor full. The basmati rice was super fluffy and delicious and the chicken vindaloo was perfect on a cold day. Really hit the spot. Perfect spice level. We got a mango lawsuit to go for our ride up to Idaho. If you find yourself in Wells off of the 93 or 80 in interstate, it is such a convenient place to stop and have a delicious Meal. I love the totally legit vibe about this place with the Indian music blurring in the background and them doing their weekly kitchen cleaning it was awesome. Pro tip the restaurants a little bit large so it's not heated that well which I understand completely so if you're planning on sitting inside and eating, I would bring a coat or sitting in the sun to keep yourself warm all in all the super solid choice for authentic Indian food hands-down the best I've had in such a long time thank you! read more

When I heard an Indian food restaurant was opening in Wells of all places, I could barely contain my excitement. Indian food is one of my favorites, so making the 45 min drive from Elko is worth it in my book. Yet it just so happens my kids baseball game against Wells, landed us in the perfect position to have dinner there a few weeks ago. First of all, I ordered three orders of Garlic Naan Bread with zero regrets. You have to get that with every meal. Next, I got an order of Vegetable Samosas. Fluffy deep-fried pillows of potato and peas with curry spices dipped in mint chutney. It's my go to appetizer. Finally I ordered Butter Chicken, my son ordered Shrimp Tikka Masala, and my boyfriend ordered the Chicken Biryani. My entrée, and my son's entrée come with rice to scoop the lovely meat and gravy over and eat with the bread. The dishes were all so well crafted and seasoned perfectly, not too spicy. My boyfriend got the Biryani thinking he wouldn't like any of the other ones, but then after trying mine, he decided he actually liked mine more! He said he was surprised that he liked it and would definitely eat it again (he's picky). I have to say it was so delicious that I can't wait until another baseball game lands us in Wells... or I force my family to drive to the 45 minutes out there with me because I just like it so much... maybe on Mother's Day!!!! Either way, I can't wait to go back. read more

Waited 1 hour for meal -- at that point we called it and had to keep on our way, with only half the order complete. They served other families and orders before us. It felt a bit like we were being skipped over. Terrible experience. read more

Really good and so unexpected in Wells! Butter chicken was very good and so was the bread pakora- like samosa but on crispy fried bread. Flavors so good we filled up quickly- on portions more than plenty. read more

I was skeptical...but to my surprise it was delicious, I had the Coconut Chicken and butter nan...EXCELLENT! Super friendly place...highly recommend...across from Truck stops (for my fellow Truckers read more

All I can say is wow. I was it expecting to have the best Indian food of my life at a truck stop in Wells, NV...but here we are. The folks that work here are extending friendly and take a lot of pride in the food they put out. It may take a little while for your order, that's cause they are cooking everything made to order. Don't let the outside of the building deter you from what is inside. I'll definitely be going back next time I pass through town! read more

Surprising to find this fantastic Indian restaurant in Wells, NV. Wow! Butter chicken was the best i've ever had! Highly recommend!

Seriously amazing food. This might sound surprising, but I've found north Indian food in the bay area rather meh. This was such a surprise. Loved it. It reminded me of Vancouver, where I've found the best Indian food. I would highly recommend a stop here on your way to Reno or even a detour from Tahoe. The staff is very helpful. I really liked the look of the place, it gave a dhaba feel (roadside Indian restaurant). Zena was the hostess, and she was very accommodating and got us vegan options from the menu. If this was closer I'd be going here regularly! read more

We stopped in Wells hoping to find a mom n pop breakfast joint. But as we pulled in - we were pleasantly surprised to find a GREAT Indian restaurant -- in the middle of the desert, no less!! We ordered the chicken saag / samosas / Indian tea (!!) / a side "salad" (fresh onions, tomatoes, crisp hot green chili peppers) / and garlic naan. What a great find! Just what a these road-weary travelers needed. read more

I never expected amazing Indian food while driving through the middle of nowhere. The gentleman who took my order was so kind. The first time through I ordered rice, onion naan and saag palak, medium spice. I enjoy spice, and medium was almost too much. The food was so good that I stopped by a week later on my 17hr drive home. The tea looks more like coffee and resembles chai in flavor. It's ah-mazing. read more

Loved it! What a treat on a cold night in the middle of the desert. Yummy tikka masala and spicy curry. Warm and tasty garlic naan. Friendly service. Will be back. read more

Sher E Punjab Dhaba is a hidden gem in Wells, NV! I had the butter chicken with rice, roti, and chai, and everything was phenomenal. The flavors were bold and authentic, the ingredients fresh, and the care put into each dish was evident. It's rare to find food of this quality and taste in such a remote area. I genuinely think this is the best food you'll find not just in Wells, but probably for 100 miles around. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop by--you won't regret it! read more

Nice spot in Elko. Attentive and quick service. Slightly on the expensive side but delicious food. Clean ambiance and was less crowded during Monday afternoon. read more

So good and filling. The coconut chicken is scrumptious! Customer service was great. The chai tea is legit! read more

Great food (ordered Rogan Josh). More of a takeout place. Menu may not have all items ( eg, naan).

Wow wow wow, who would have thought fantastic authentic East Indian food in Wells Nevada!! Omg so delicious we have eaten Indian food all over the world and coast to coast in USA. This cute little (basically truck stop diner) was the bomb. All three dishes we had were spot on and delicious spice level hot was right on for us not so hot to mask flavors but enough to enjoy the dishes. Now the garlic naan was without a doubt possibly the best we've ever eaten. Prices are amazingly affordable, the word must be out since we saw 5 Indian semi drivers stop for take out , one sat eating dinner face time with his wife on the phone. If you find yourself anywhere close to Wells, Nevada you must stop. Namaste Sher-E Punjab Dhaba we will return!!! read more

Friendly service. Favorite stop of Indian truck drivers. Excellent food and generous portions.

This place has gone down the toilet! It's was much better when the uncle worked here. This new set of employees have ruined this restaurant. I stopped here at 7:55 in the morning, they told me it be an hour wait for a cup of tea and any food!!! wtf! They open at 7am. BRING BACK UNCLE. When the young boy, with the sloppy hair is working, I won't even buy anything. He is sloppy and does not practice good sanitation practices. The last time I was here, the cover to the tea cup fell on the floor. He picked it up off of the floor, put onto the cup and gave it to me. I refused the tea. He is just sloppy. Bring back the uncle! read more
