About Sarhad Dhaba Indian and Pizza
Indian food and pizza on one menu has quietly become normal across British Columbia, and it makes more sense in the kitchen than it does on paper, since both lean on a hot oven and dough made fresh that morning. Sarhad Dhaba Indian and Pizza works from 786 Westminster Avenue in Penticton and shares its building with another business, so it is worth knowing which door you want before you arrive.
A dhaba is originally a roadside eating house, built for speed rather than ceremony, and the name here points to that tradition on one side of the menu with the pizza side running alongside it. What exactly fills each half is worth asking about directly rather than assumed from the sign. Useful questions include how spice levels are handled, whether the pizza side offers a vegetarian base, and how much notice a large order needs on a Friday. Delivery and pickup arrangements vary, and the website is the place to start.
Westminster Avenue sits back from the beaches and the tourist strip, which usually means parking is manageable and the room turns over at a local pace rather than a holiday one. Ordering for a group is where a kitchen like this earns its keep, since large trays travel well to a park, a rental or a jobsite. If you are feeding people with a mix of tastes, the double menu is the entire point, so order across both halves rather than picking a side.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
