Had the non-veg thali while my mum went for the veg thali, and we both loved it! The food was amazing – full of flavor and just the right amount of spice. Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The vibe was great, and the service was super friendly. Definitely a spot I’d recommend for some awesome Indian food!

Last night I ordered chicken thali and paid for it but when I came home and opened the food, I got veg thali so please make sure when you give food. Still i will give you 5 star rating.

December 1, 2024

I was quoted 15 minutes, I arrived 25 minutes after calling and still had to wait. I ordered the butter chicken MAIN and got 4 pieces of chicken?!? For a main??? And paid 17$ with taxes. This "meal" is not filling at all, I could've bought a bigger meal elsewhere.

EDITED: the owner reached out to me and provided a complimentary meal to make up for my first order. Had no issues at pickup - the man working the counter was very apologetic as well. The food again was delicious. I would order from here again and have adjusted my rating. -------‐----------- Ordered on Uber eats for lunch. I like that they have specials for different days of the week. The food had good flavour, portion size is good for the price. However the cucumber "salad" (really just cut up cucumbers in very inconsistent sized slices- had nothing on them for it to be considered a salad) had mold on my cucumber that I only noticed after eating a few already.

This take-out friendly yet dining available restaurant tucked in the corner of a street is a true hidden gem in Oshawa. We decided to give this a shot in search of tawa rotis, aka chapati, and yes... it was worth finding then. The portions of the food were good value given the high quality ingredients and very very authentic flavors. The staff was very friendly, informative, and humbled in their explanation and recommendations of menu items. We tried their vegetarian thali with 4 good-sized chapatis. *owner confirmed they are launching naans etc starting next month which may be a good decision as it will only bring them more exposure...wish them very well and huge success for future

I had the pleasure of trying the food for the first time, and it was amazing. You could dine in, but it is self-served. If you're looking for authentic Indian food, this is the place to go.

June 23, 2024

Terrible experience, ordered malai chaap as a starter but when we received it , that was like soya chaap curry and taste was like korma (cashew based curry). The girl at front was not willing to change at the very first time but on insisting she changed and gave us fried momos , those were even worst. Simply fried the Frozen momos without any coating on it. We ordered fried rice and Manchurian too that was lil better as compared to the stuff I mentioned above. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Amazing food! Amazing service! - Fresh home cooked style food. - Tried a lot of things and everything is good. - The thali was yum and has great quantity. - Chilli Momo’s are toooo good. - They also have chole bhature and chana aloo poori on weekends from 9am-1pm Must try! Please bring back the Veg Fried Chilli Momos🙏🏽

I had a terrible experience with this restaurant. I ordered biryani, and the spice level was unbearably high, way beyond what is normal for biryani. It was so spicy that just a few bites caused me severe stomach problems that lasted the entire night. The pain and discomfort were so bad that I now need to visit the hospital because of it. This level of heat is unacceptable, and I would never visit this place again. Highly disappointed!

This place seems overhyped and didn t quite live up to some of the glowing reviews. We dined in, but I wouldn t recommend dining here, especially at night. If you re curious to try it, consider takeout or delivery instead. The location felt uncomfortable, particularly with kids, as there s a vape/cannabis shop next door, and we noticed some individuals hanging around that made us uneasy. With our young child, we left quickly after finishing. The food itself was just okay not memorable. They only offer disposable plates and cutlery, which made it challenging to enjoy the meal comfortably. The prices were surprisingly high for the setup much more than you d expect even at a full-service restaurant.

Good, delicious Indian food with huge portions. Ordered the butter chicken bowl and veg thali, which is more than enough for 3 people. The 4 rotis that came with the thali were excellent. The staff were very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. I believe most of the business is for takeout, we dined in. The dining area consisted of 3 tables, and it was clean and well maintained. Ill definitely come back again when Im in the area.

I recently had food at Dhaba NH1 in Oshawa. The quality and the presentation of the food were excellent. Additionally, the quantity was surprisingly more than enough. My husband and I ordered one veg and one non-veg Thali. Each thali had 4 big chapati, one big rice bowl, and a good quantity of curries and dal. We had to pack the rest, which was enough for dinner. The staff were humble, especially Shaifali, she was very amiable. Overall, the food was scrumptious, and the service was awesome.

I recently visited *Dhaba NH1* and had an absolutely delightful experience. I tried the butter tawa roti and soya chaap curry, and both dishes were incredibly delicious. The butter tawa roti was perfectly soft, with a wonderful buttery flavor that melted in my mouth. It complemented the soya chaap curry perfectly. Speaking of the curry, it was rich, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. The soya chaap was tender and absorbed the flavors of the curry beautifully. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming, and the staff was attentive and friendly. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I highly recommend this Restaurant to anyone looking for delicious food and great service. I will definitely be coming back!

Not sure how this restaurants has so many 4+ reviews. We had chicken momos and chicken dry as starters - both were prepared with same sauce. We have ordered 2 chicken curries both tasted literally the same. Even after asking them about it they were not ready to correct the mistake (or if it s expected to taste like that). There was no salt in the curry as well which is minimum basic thing. Over all very disappointed.

Visited this place yesterday after we are craving for some Indian snacks. We ordered Samosas and Dahi bhalla chaat. The lady who prepared the chaat added huge loads of tamarind sauce in the chaat and dahi was next to None. Totally ruined the item. Being an amateur cook myself I would have used this much sauce in atleast 4 plates of this item. Samosas were okay taste wise but seemed a little oily and heavy when the above blunder happened. I had to request them to put dahi into the chaat because I dont like throwing food away. Even after that it gave me some uneasiness.

I disagree with the 5 star reviews here. Food taste was average! Service was average - you order, you pick up at counter. Food is served In disposable plates and plastic trays. The rotis they serve are probably frozen or bought at some indian store, heated in restaurant and served. There is NO tandoor/naan option. Definitely a pass - not worth the time.

Whenever we cm at the dhabha nh1 , there service is tooo poor . They always ask wait for 10 minutes then deliver the food after 30-35 minutes . Moreover , some of food items are good and some are totally wastage of money . So , please , people pay for food and service . So must work on ur food quality and poor service . M fed up with their poor service . Will never visit again there

The Samosas were freshly made, and Chai was absolutely tasty. Their samosas had the taste, which reminded Me of India. None of the samosas I tasted before in Canada had such taste. Food

Absolutely pathetic fried chicken momos, wont even call them momos more like wontons with little stuffing and so much crust, tasted pathetic, please learn how to make momos, waste of 12.96 dollars. The momo chutney was also tasteless and not authentic, remove momos from your menu dhaba nh1, learn how to make them first.

The food was amazing. We ordered two chicken curries and two paneer curries. All the items were very tasty. Roti is a hit at this place. The staff were very cordial. I definitely recommend this place for anyone who is craving good authentic Indian food. Delicious food made by lovely people so I wouldn t worry about the interior/ambience.

Went for lunch today and ate in this little place. The food that we had was some of the best that I have eaten anywhere! We have dined in many East Indian restaurants from Toronto to as far as Nova Scotia. Well worth going! Parking: The actual area right by the place is small but theres plenty of parking at the Midtown Mall

Unbelievable food at an unbelievable price. I do not think anywhere in GTA you can have 0.99$ chai, or $1 gula jamun. The price list looks something like 3 years ago! But that does not stop them from having amazing taste. Rotis are fresh served. On top of that you get the warm smile of the owners. Our new found hidden gem in Oshawa. Wish you all the best! Please do not change

Looking forward to try their other dishes too. Service is excellent. Really glad they opened in Oshawa while we were searching for authentic Punjabi food.

We went there for the first time today and was amazed by the quality and quality of food and service. The gentleman at the counter is very polite and professional. The menu was easy to understand and the food was simply awesome. We started with samosas which were very tasty and fresh. We further ordered one non-veg thali which came with butter chicken, karahi chicken, 4 chapatis, rice, papad, salad and gulab Jamun. And we also ordered one veg chowmein. The food was awesome!!! The taste super authentic and fresh. We are surely coming back here and bringing our friends in the Durham area because God knows we badly needed a good north Indian restaurant

Exceptional Service and Delightful experience at Dhaba NH1 The Paneer Methi Malai, Gobhi Manchurian, Bhalla Papdi Chaat, and the exceptional Tawa Roti were all highlights, showcasing the restaurants commitment to authentic flavors. While the Palak Chicken was initially too salty, the restaurants swift response and gesture to redeliver, along with a sweet surprise of Gulab Jamun, demonstrated their dedication to customer satisfaction. Dhaba NH1 not only delivers on taste but also goes above and beyond in ensuring a memorable dining experience. A commendable choice for those seeking both quality cuisine and exceptional service.

I had a catering order with Dhaba NH1; all the snacks and main course dishes were amazing! Everyone absolutely loved your mutton, malai soya chaap, Indian Chowmein, Karahi paneer and Crispy corn! To top it all the chef Puneet and the manager Shefali were very accomodating and flexible to customize taste according to the customer! Hands down the best North Indian restaurant we have in Durham region Keep up the excellent taste and good work! Simran
