Great pit spot with outdoor seating. Good food with an authentic Dhaba atmosphere. The servers and cook are very courteous and humble.

This is quite a cute and cozy place to have dinner or lunch whatever. There's a trailer they make food in the trailer and they serve good food. However it's very easy to miss, lookout for a taco truck and it's next to the taco truck. There are about 10 benches where you can sit the food or decently priced not overpriced.

Went to this food truck a few weeks ago while returning from Yosemite NP. It's right in the center of Bakersfield and serves authentic Punjabi food. It is run by two Indian ladies who cook and serve from a food truck. They have a lot of varieties on their menu. We tried sag paneer, kadhi pakoda and roti. All the items were really delicious. They also serve rice with their curries. The ambience is also similar to a traditional indian roadside dhaba. Will surely visit again.

This dhabha has my heart. Omg what a setup, totally loved it. Suchhhh yummy food, so clean, and their service is awesome. We drove from Vegas and took a pit stop here at Bakersfield for the night. I am sooo glad that I looked for Indian restaurant near me and stumbled upon this dhabha. My daughter who eats absolutely no spicey, ate dal makhni with rice(which was mild spicy) she loved the food. That itself is an achievement, to top it our food was awesome too. Absolutely in love with this cute setup and absolute hygiene they maintained. ITS A MUST VISIT IF YOU COME TO BAKERSFIELD. We travelled from Australia so we may not get another chance to visit this dhabha again but anyone who lives around here in the US, must try this dhabha.

Really delicious Indian food. I had the Samosa Chaat and an order of Garlic Naan. The Naan was hot, huge, and garlicky. I've had quite a bit of Naan in my day and this was as good as I've ever had. Samosa chaat was hot, fresh, and flavorful. Super nice folks running this place. The lady cooking this stuff totally slays it. You should go.

Authentic Punjabi Parantha experience! Run by a lovely lady, who will make the freshest Aloo Paranthas and serve you with Chaas, Dahi, Achar and Makkhan. We loved the food so much that we packed Kadhi Pakora and Chawal also for later. Yum!!

“Ronak Dhaba” because “Apna Dhaba” moved to other location and we had a terrible experience with apna Dhaba unfortunately, and luckily we stumbled upon the wonderful *Ronak Dhaba* and couldn’t be happier with the experience! The host was incredibly welcoming and gracious, making us feel right at home. The tea served here was absolutely exceptional—rich, flavorful, and the perfect pick-me-up after a long day. If you’re looking for a warm, inviting spot with great hospitality and delicious offerings, *Ronak Dhaba* is a must-visit. A true gem that turned our trip into a memorable one!"
