I tried their original branch at jhal Sargodha.Terka daal is awesome. They offer aachar with the package.They have family sitting area. I used to eat from my childhood. Taste was somehow the same. They have improved the sitting area. Original dhaaba truck upgraded placeRecommended the daal only. Justified the price of daal package

Around five kilometres down the road from Sargodha to Khushab is a small town called Jhal Chakian. The town was essentially a small market stopover named for its most famous landmark – a windmill. Some would argue that the windmill is now only the second-most famous landmark because, for the last 60 years, a roadside restaurant has become the town’s most popular attraction.In the past, the area was only frequented by people travelling between Lahore and Bannu, Mianwali, Bhakkar, and Khushab, and traffic was sparse at best.Then in 1960, Shah Zaman opened the doors of a little restaurant that evolved into Jhal Chakian ki Mashoor Daal (The Famous Daal of Jhal Chakian). At the time, the restaurant also had the advantage of having a petrol pump located right next to it, making it an accessible stop for truckers and other travellers. During the summer months, people would often also go to the Jhelum River nearby for a dunk in the water before their lunch.When the restaurant first opened for business, a number of chicken, mutton and beef options were also on the menu.Many years later, Shah Zamans son Muhammad Younis took over the restaurant. He was assisted by his cousin Muhammad Abdullah Shah, who later became a partner in the business. Abdullah told The Express Tribune that his elders had narrated that because the restaurant was essentially catering to truckers, demand for fried meat was high, but daal was a popular vegetarian option. “As time passed, the popularity of the hotel increased owing to its location,” he said. He also informed that their elders made many types of daal using various combinations of ingredients, the most famous of which was a combination of channa daal (chickpea) and mung daal (mung bean).“At that time, desi ghee (clarified butter) was cheap and easily available, so they used it to make the dishes even tastier,” he added. “The daal eventually became so famous that people started coming only for it and not for the meat items.”He said that now, even meat lovers make it a point to also order daal.As the number of diners increased, due to the daal’s popularity, it became difficult to keep a record of how many roti each person had eaten. Eventually, an all you can eat option was added, with the price initially set at Rs10. Over the years, inflation has pushed it up to Rs120 rupees per head. Abdullah said the average customer eats three to four roti. “However, there are some people who may eat a dozen roti, but according to the policy, they are not charged extra. Abdullah said that the restaurant has also counted famous people, including government ministers, among its clientele, but most of his customers are still truck drivers. He added that truck drivers “also have the heartiest appetites.”

It is one of the best and famous for Daal. Dhaba daal is being served here that tastes delicious. The resturaunt is notorious for its Daal. Chicken karhahi and one or two other dishes are also available. But i suggest you to sit there, order a daal plus some pickles, take tea and go home.
