A Punjabi roadside dhaba, right on Inkerman Street
Dhabas are the roadside kitchens of Punjab — loud, generous and always cooking. Kake Da Dhaba brings that same spirit to St Kilda: honest portions, bold spices and recipes passed down at home.
Everything from our makhani gravy to our pickles is made in-house, and our tandoor fires up before the doors open.
