List of 10 famous Highway Dhabas on Delhi to Jaipur Route


1. Old Rao Dhaba, Dharuhera

If you have ever done a road trip north, you know about Old Rao. This place is iconic. Imagine hot rotis soaked with creamy dal makhani, paneer dishes loaded with flavour, and an endless stream of highway travelers all making happy noises. I can never resist their chilled lassi after a heavy meal. It is no wonder everyone from big families to lone bikers ends up here—it just feels like home. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait for a table; it’s that popular!

Must-Try: North Indian thalis and tea

Vibe: Bustling, always lively, utterly reliable.


2. Mannat Dhaba, Dharuhera

This one pops on every foodie’s radar for a reason: legendary parathas! You will spot families, truckers, and outstation taxis pulled in. From Amritsari kulchas to spicy dosas and colas, it is a great place if you want variety on your table. Their lassi is massive (and such good value).

Do not Miss: Paratha platters, thick lassis

Ambience: High-energy, always smells amazing.

Plan a Birthday Celebration in Mannat with family and guests; treat them with a fantastic trip with Force Urbania Van Hire.

3. Hotel Highway King, Behror

Need a quick pit stop with clean loos and tons of choices? This is it. Whether you are craving dosa, a fresh sandwich, or a proper North Indian thali, the menu covers all moods. Plus, it is kid-friendly and the service is quick—even with crowds.

Best Bits: South Indian and North Indian plates, play area for kids

Why I Love It: Comfort food and convenience—sometimes you just want both!


3. Foji Raj Dhaba, Near Alwar

Want real Rajasthani food? Pull over at Foji Raj. Their dal baati churma is my go-to, and the bajra rotis are exactly what you need to break up the journey. It is simple, rustic, and the charpai seating under the open sky feels right out of a countryside dream. Don’t rush, this one is made for lingering.

Order This: Dal baati churma, sarson ka saag

Feels Like: Eating at a distant cousin’s house in the heart of Rajasthan.


5. Rajwada – The Food Court, Dharuhera

Traveling in a big group or with picky eaters? This modern food court will keep everyone happy. Airy seating, super quick thalis, and the kind of Indian meals you crave mid-journey.

What’s Great: Rotating daily specials, fast service

Chill Factor: It’s clean, casual, and you won’t get the stink-eye for laughing too loud.


6. Hotel Highway Xpress, Behror

Perfect for those long-haul travelers needing a break from traffic and the sun. This AC spot always feels like an oasis in the desert. From hot chole bhature to lighter South Indian choices, it ticks all the boxes.

Why Stop: Air-con, clean bathrooms, and great chai

Top Frequent Order: Kadai paneer or the “Highway Xpress Special” meal—comfort on a plate.


7. Haldiram’s, Kherki Dhaula (Gurgaon Side)

Sometimes you just want reliable and fast. Swing into Haldiram’s for their chaat, raj kachori, classic snacks, and sweets. You know exactly what you are getting—and that’s a big plus on the highway.

Why It Works: Quick bites, familiar flavours, and clean surroundings.


8. Bikanervala, Panchgaon

Craving a cool spot for lunch when it is sweltering outside? Bikanerwala gets my vote for ice-cold AC, quick service, and a smorgasbord of Indian snacks—chaat, thali, and even desserts to stock up for later.



9. Jhilmil Restaurant, Behror

Do not let the modest sign fool you. This is a local favourite for hot, comforting food that always hits the spot. It is right off the highway and has speedy service when you are eager to get back on the road.


10. Local Specials Near Alwar

If you have time to detour into Alwar or Neemrana, check out places like Mahavir Dhaba for their legendary dal and rotis, or Gangaur Midway if you are visiting Neemrana Fort. Want a “café” vibe? Forestra & Citrus Cafe in Alwar town offers that, too—especially if you need a longer, more chill break.



Pro Road Trip Tips

  • Try the lassi: It is the best drink to beat the heat, and you will find it at most big dhabas.

  • Peak lunch rush: Aim for an early or late lunch if you want to skip the crowds.

  • Try authentic dishes: Ask what is fresh or seasonal – these places are famous for local veggies cooked daily. Not expecting a plate of Chinese dishes or Italian pizza in your taste.

  • Chat with staff: Do not feel shy! The servers often have the best recommendations for their signature dishes.
