Pritam Da Dhaba, North Indian restaurant in Dadar East, Mumbai, India.
Pritam Da Dhaba is a North Indian restaurant in Dadar East, Mumbai, attached to Hotel Midtown Pritam. It serves dishes like butter chicken and naan from an open kitchen visible from the dining room.
The restaurant opened in the 1950s as part of the Hotel Midtown Pritam, at a time when Dadar was becoming a busy commercial area. It has stayed in operation since then, keeping the same style of cooking through changing decades.
The open kitchen lets visitors watch cooks work the tandoor, a clay oven central to North Indian cooking. This makes the meal feel more connected to the food being prepared, rather than just a plate arriving at the table.
The restaurant is in Dadar East, a neighborhood in central Mumbai with good rail and bus connections. Going on a weekday or outside peak meal hours helps avoid longer waits, as the place tends to fill up.
The restaurant has never moved out of the original hotel building it opened in, which is uncommon for a place that has been running since the 1950s. This means the dining room itself carries the same physical footprint as the day it first served customers.
