Le Dhaba (Genève)

The concept

The Dhaba takes its name from the roadside restaurants scattered along India's highways. The first Dhabas appeared next to service stations, offering fresh food to truck drivers making long journeys across the country. Today, they are increasingly popular, frequented by anyone looking for a quick, quality meal. Our version of Dhaba is a restaurant designed for modern living. We offer fresh daily dishes, served in overflowing bowls and bursting with Indian flavors. Forget the hustle and bustle of formal dining, this is simply healthy food prepared with a lot of love.

Our story

Ash Khosla, Dhaba's owner and head chef, spent the first part of his career working as an accountant before switching to what he'd always loved to do: cook.

For Ash, cooking has always played an important role in his life. He spent summers with his aunt, a British foodie, and brought his love of well-made dishes back to his family in Geneva, where the kitchen became the heart of their home. As a father, Ash carries on the tradition, feeding his young daughters the Indian specialties he learned at his mother's side. And he entertains his friends with some of the best food in town.

As Ash's passion project became more and more his vocation, he decided to open Le Dhaba in 2020. For Ash, the restaurant is an outlet for his favorite hobby, an expression of his Indian heritage, and an opportunity to serve new friends and old.

Guided by the belief that customers deserve the best hospitality at a reasonable price, he has created an authentic, unpretentious atmosphere where he recreates family recipes and invites everyone to discover his joy of entertaining.
