“ Just had lunch at 99 Punjabi Dhaba, and it was an absolute treat! The authentic parathas were perfectly crisp on the outside and stuffed generously — full of flavor and comfort. The Yellow Dal was simple yet soul-satisfying, with that home-style taste that makes you feel like you're eating in a Punjabi household. The rotis were soft, warm, and the perfect accompaniment. If you're craving genuine North Indian flavors, this spot delivers. Delicious food, no frills — just pure, hearty goodness. ”
“ This was hands down the best tandoori chicken I’ve ever had! It was incredibly juicy, with a perfectly balanced marinated that brought out deep, smoky flavors from the tandoor. The spice blend was just right—bold yet not overwhelming—letting the natural flavors shine. Served with fresh mint chutney and crisp onions, it was an absolute delight. If you’re a fan of grilled meats, this is a must-try! ”
“ 99 Punjabi Dhaba in Traver, CA is a great spot for tasty, homemade Indian food. We tried their stuffed paratha, chole kulche, and makke ki roti with sarson ka saag, and everything was delicious and full of flavor. The paratha was perfectly crisp, the chole-kulche were super satisfying, and the saag with roti was just the kind of comfort food you want. We finished it all off with a warm cup of milk tea that hit the spot. They also make sure to cook veg and non-veg dishes separately to avoid any cross-contamination, which is very thoughtful! Note - Don’t miss their aam ka achaar, so good that we ended up buying it! ”
“ This place was amazing! I said words like, 'Best Indian food I've ever eaten!' It really was. The folks working there were nice and helpful. I enjoyed every bite of my paneer pakora, samosas and saag paneer. The naan, tamarind and mint chutney were spot on. We were very lucky to stumble upon this place while visiting the area. If I lived closer, I would eat there no less than three times per week. ”
