Origin
Punjab has bequeathed this institution of Dhaba to the world. The Dhaba moves wherever a Punjabi goes would be the correct thing to state about its origin.
The first Punjabhi Dhaba probably started with the linking of the cities of India by highways (national, state and village roads). Though no records can be cited to the first Punjabi Dhaba, it can reasonably be assumed that such restaurants must have first flourished along the GT Road between Peshawar (now in Pakistan) in Punjab passing through Amritsar, Delhi to Calcutta.
There is now a large network of the Punjabi community since it is from among this group that many have migrated to far lands. One joke goes that even if one were to visit the Moon, one might find a Punjabi Dhaba..

Famous quotes containing the word origin:

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“There are certain books in the world which every searcher for truth must know: the Bible, the Critique of Pure Reason, the Origin of Species, and Karl Marx’s Capital.”
—W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
“High treason, when it is resistance to tyranny here below, has its origin in, and is first committed by, the power that makes and forever re-creates man.”
