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:
“The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
