Papaji tusi Guru ho..
Tried this out way back in 1994 when had to stay alone for some days. His great aloo masala, with makhanee roti, boondi raita, phudina chutney followed by his hard selling Chaas.....
Today, my dad & daughter are followers & religiously order in at least once a month.

Excellent place....
Finally got a place(Dabha) where you can have some good punjabi food at reasonable price.The food is good, gives you a homely feeling.
Each meal cost you between Rs.30 and Rs.40 and you have some really punjabi food like rajma, arbee, aloo, even you get lauki and bengan etc...

homemade punjabi fare, prices are a steal!
An old, bitter, yet endearing sardar ji guards his cash counter well as you step into this nondescript hole-in-the-wall in Lokhandwala Complex. Guru da Dhaba needs little introduction for the Andheri-ites - most know it as the best place to get home food away from home - and all for 30 bucks a meal! You get one of many sabji's, some amazing green chutney and sliced onions, along with some hot phulka chapati. The sabjis are all traditional punjabi ones - Rajma, Lauki, Aarbi, Gajjar Mattar, etc. You won't find any fancy cream-laden Mughlai type stuff here, just the purest of the pure when it comes to taste.
Guru da Dhaba has achieved cult-status in Lokhandwala, but I'd urge any in the area that are not concerned with ambiance or service to give this place a shot. Truly one of a kind...

This place rocks
Based off the recommendation of the previous reviewer, we decided to try out Guru da Dhaba for dinner last night.
Firstly, this place is not at all pretentious. It doesn't make any tall claims to be a restaurant or anything fancy. It provides a good old dhaba atmosphere bang in the middle of the Lokhandwala Market. The food is 100% home-cooked punjabi style.
They don't have any table menus. You gotta peer at the "wall menu". Along with the usual fare, it also contains off-beat and exotic stuff. Here is an example - Karela, Dahiwala Aloo, Lauki (Gourd), Gajar Matar. Now think about this, what restaurant or dhaba have you been to that serves Karela and Lauki?
The rotis are actually made from wheat flour, instead of the "maida" being used everywhere else.
Although the service is passable, the tasty food more than makes up for it. I guess this place has a cult like following. People just kept pouring in non-stop all the time that we were there (and we went there around 10ish).
Overall a highly recommended place and it is extremely light on the pocket. Just keep in mind that they don't serve any non-vegetarian food.

Feels like home...
This is one small joint that is not to be missed. Whenever my maid does not turn up to cook food, i dont miss her too often, thats coz I live in striking distance from Guru da Dhaba.
This one is not a restaurant called a dhaba to attract attention but really a proper dhaba.....Run by an ageing Sardarji and his son and daughter-in-law, Guru da Dhaba, in traditional North Indian dhaba tradition keeps it reasonably priced, simple and tasty.
This place serves food which is absolutely non-oily, costs 30-35 bucks a dish unlike a proper restaurant which will charge u not less than 60 bucks for the same dish. The vote of confidence perhaps is the never ending queue of people who keep coming in and have to share the 8 odd tables this little joint has. trust me, for the 2 years i have been eating here, i have never had to shell out more than 50 bucks per head for full 'pet bhar ke' khaana!
The variety of stuff on offer can only be matched by mom's recipe book. They have your regular tadka daals, paneer bhurji's, kali daal, chole,,,,, and then they have yummy raajma, amazing baingan bharta and arbi... you'd never find arbi in another place in mumbai!
if you are really really solid hungry, you can go for the thaali that will cost you a 70 bucks, its got everything you could ask for and you'll have to be dragged back out of the place!
go for it mate, and you'll absolutely love it!
