Sagar Vaishno Dhaba, Ambala City (A Pure Ve g Dhaba/Restaurant) Sagar Vaishno Dhaba was started in 1999 by Prakash Dua Ji and his elder brother. There is interesting story behind the starting up of this Dhaba i.e. Prakash Ji found that there was no place to have hygienic and clean vegetarian food in Ambala which gave him idea to start-up his own Dhaba with the help of his brother. The shop is now run by second generation, even though Prakash Ji and his brother still visit the shop daily to assist and keep a check. All the ingredients are procured on daily basis from the market and all the species are prepared at home. Sagar Vaishno Dhaba is situated in Bansa Wala Bazar, Near Suhag Hotel serving Pure Vegetarian Food from the last 21 Years.
