Game Description

Ammi has run Khan Dhaba for thirty years. Now she has 30 days to pay the rent, or lose the dhaba and the family home upstairs. Her four children have come home to save it, one plate at a time.

Dhaba Dash is a fast, funny desi cooking game about running a roadside café. Take the orders, brew the chai, fry the samosas and pakoras, plate the biryani, and get it all to the counter before the customer gives up. Play solo, or team up with a friend in online co-op.

Cook together, online

Ten co-op kitchens made for two players. Share a four-letter code and a friend joins your kitchen, with no accounts and no sign-up. One of you brews while the other plates, and you shout at each other a lot.

Ten kitchens to save

Solo play runs from Morning Chai all the way to the Wedding Shift. Every kitchen is busier than the last, with more dishes, more stations and less patience in the queue. Then take on Rush Hour: wave after wave of customers, with a boost to pick between each wave.

Real desi food

Chai, samosas, pakoras, chaat, aloo tikki, pav bhaji, biryani from the degh, karahi with naan off the tawa, halwa puri and nihari. Every dish is built from its real ingredients.

Four siblings, four skills

  • Hamza brews chai faster
  • Zara carries two things at once
  • Ayesha's regulars wait longer
  • Bilal is the fastest runner in the family

Level up each chef, unlock perks and special moves, and spend your earnings in the Kitchen Shop on helpers like Chotu and Chacha.

Ammi is watching

She stands over the order rail calling out orders in Urdu. She's delighted when you serve on time, worried when you're slow, and in tears when a customer walks out.

Play your way

Fixed or floating joystick, tap-to-walk, left- or right-handed controls, adjustable text size, haptics and a reduced-flashing option.

No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts.
