APNA PUNJABI DHABA is a no-frills Indian takeaway spot operating out of a food truck tucked behind the Safeway parking lot on US-42 in London, OH. It serves up hearty Punjabi-style dishes, making it a practical lunch option for those passing through or locals looking for freshly cooked Indian flavors without the formality of a sit-down restaurant.

Though seating is minimal—just a couple of standing-height round tables without chairs—you’ll find the focus here is clearly on the food itself, which is prepared to order. Expect a short wait, as everything is cooked fresh, with popular dishes like chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and lamb biryani standing out for their robust seasoning and satisfying portions. One serving can comfortably feed two people, which makes it a good spot to share a quick meal.

The atmosphere is casual and straightforward, shaped by the food truck setup and the surrounding parking lot. It’s the type of place folks visiting the nearby TA truck stop or local residents might stop by for a break that’s more flavorful than your typical fast food. The staff come across as friendly and approachable, helping the experience feel welcoming even in the brisk Ohio weather.

If you’re planning a visit, midday to early afternoon seems best, as the food takes about 20 minutes to prepare—an ideal pit stop during a road trip or a longer errand run. The menu’s focus on classic Punjabi dishes with rich gravies and fluffy rice makes it especially appealing to those who enjoy hearty, well-seasoned meals without the fuss of a full dining experience. Indian tea rounds out the menu nicely for a warm sip on colder days.

Overall, APNA PUNJABI DHABA fits well into the local landscape as a convenient, flavorful option for Indian takeaway in a spot where options are otherwise limited. It’s less about ambiance and more about satisfying cravings for authentic, freshly cooked Punjabi food.

This food truck is parked along the street that is in back of the Safeway parking lot. This food truck has two round tables adjacent to it, but no chairs. We ordered one order of chicken tiikka masala and roti. The food took 20 minutes to cook. One order was enough to split between two women. The food was tasty. If I was in the area again, I would come back.

Despite the cold weather that’s outside on an early November afternoon. Me , my wife and 3 toddlers went for a walk from TA to this food truck. We ordered a lamb biriany , a butter chicken masala , a paneer with some great tasty kefir mixed with sour cream (I believe)… it’s tasting amazingly delicious. Oh we also ordered 2 cups of their Indian tea. After being here for another 2 hours I’m going to order another paneer and kefir or yougurt ( don’t know what it because we weren’t told we’ll get). We all loved these foods . Especially our 1 year old son loved so much the butter chicken sauce and the chicken cause it wasn’t spicy… great job to the cooks .

Food is made fresh and served hot. High quality, generous portions, and good price. Rice was fluffy. The chicken curry is some of the best I've ever had. Creamy and bursting with flavor. If I could eat this kind of food every day I would be so healthy! LOL

Fantastic food in the middle of nowhere. One portion is a solid lunch for two people. Call ahead or relax while filling up as the food is made to order. I hope it is still there next time we are passing through.

We’re very happy we decided to give this food truck a try. In personally followed the recommendation as a vegetarian and my husband had his favorite dish. The service is great, the food is so flavorful, fresh and served hot. We def would come back if we’re in the area.
