Gulab Jamun Pork Belly Burnt Ends 🤝 Oxtail Tikka Masala Sliders

Probably two of the most ridiculous things I’ve put on a menu.

Both take over 36 hours from start to finish. My hands already hurt just thinking about making them again 😂

Back after a small break at Sidetracked Wine Co. on Saturday, September 12th.

Stay hungry (and thirsty), my friends.

Honored to be featured by Punk Foodie and AJC Food as one of Atlanta’s top summer food pop-ups!🙏🔥

Honestly, this has always been my dream and y’all are helping turn it into a reality.

Thank you to everyone who’s come out to a pop-up, shared our posts, or told a friend about Dhaba BBQ. It takes a lot of work to do this on top of a full time job. None of this happens without you!

Some of our next pop-ups⬇️

🔥Saturday August 1st at The Stout Brothers Smyrna 11am

🔥Saturday August 8th at Proper Hop Taphouse 2pm

🔥Saturday September 12th Sidetracked Wine Co. 12pm

Can’t wait to show you what I come up with next💥🫡

🚨GULAB JAMUN PORK BELLY BURNT ENDS🚨

This has been on my mind for quite some time, can’t wait to share this with y’all!

Smoked pork belly, black pepper, ghee, cardamom, gulab jamun, all topped with some crushed pistachios. It’s the perfect balance of a savory and sweet profile that isn’t too much.

It sounds wrong until it makes sense😂.

Dropping these goodies at our next pop-up and very likely will be showing up frequently based on the feedback I’ve gotten so far.

Indo-Texan BBQ at its finest. Texas 🤝 Mumbai

Henna Bakshi what wine or sake are we pairing with this?!?

OXTAIL TIKKA MASALA SLIDERS🤤🍴🔥

Not traditional Indian food by any means, but that’s kind of the point!

These take about 36 hours from start to finish — dry brined in our spice blend, smoked low and slow, braised until tender, and pulled.

Stack with our Masala Onions and Cilantro Giardiniera sauce. Only other thing you’ll need is a napkin.

Catch them at one of our next pop-ups!

Stay hungry y’all. See you soon!

This was the only content I was able to get before everything turned into a blur.

People were lined up before doors even opened, familiar faces brought new faces, and some of y’all showed up because someone who tried our food told you to get there early!

That kind of support is hard to put into words.

It was a couple hours of madness, but it reminded me exactly why I do this. It got so busy that my wife, who came with my daughter and father-in-law just to support, ended jumping in to help. Thank you for showing up, waiting, eating, sharing, and making these pop-ups feel bigger every time.

Big shoutout to for always being incredible hosts. Please keep supporting their cocktail and food program between our pop-ups — they deserve all the love.

Taking a couple weeks to recover. We’ll be back soon 🙏✌️

🔥Tandoori Chicken Wings🔥

Tandoori chicken is one of the most recognizable dishes in Indian food for a reason🥵

It’s built on marinated chicken, layered spices, heat, smoke, char, and that deep red color everyone knows. Traditionally, it’s cooked in a tandoor, where high heat gives the outside that charred, smoky edge while keeping the chicken juicy.

For Dhaba BBQ, this dish made too much sense not to do. After all, one of our first iconic dishes was our Tandoori Chicken Sando!

So we turned it into wings!💥

We marinate them with a spice blend, smoke them to build flavor (with hickory), and finish them by flash frying them so they hit that balance of smoky, tangy, fiery, charred, tender, and crispy. The goal was not to reinvent tandoori chicken — it was to put it in a form that feels right for our pop-ups.

We dropped these at last summer, and we sold out of them in under an hour🫠

Tandoori Chicken Wings are officially in the rotation. Come get them this weekend!

WE REALLY OUT HERE MAKING INDIAN BBQ HAPPEN.

Shout out to for including Dhaba BBQ in their list of must-try BBQ spots in Atlanta.

It’s an honor to be mentioned alongside some of the best BBQ spots in the city including and so many other 🐐’s!

From accidentally trying meat for the first time in high school, I guess things are turning out pretty well. This pop-up has been difficult with early mornings and late nights, and lots of days going to bed smelling like smoke (sorry wife🤷‍♂️). Seeing Dhaba BBQ continue to grow and being able to share my love for food makes all of this worth it.

I seriously don’t see our food anywhere else, and that’s what keeps pushing me to keep building this. What will this end up as? I’m not sure, but thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey, waited in the lines, brought friends and family to events, and of course help spread the word!

We’re just getting started💨💨💨
