Try our celebrated Amritsari Fish at Punjab Dhaba — crispy, golden-fried fish fillets coated in a spiced chickpea flour batter, inspired by the legendary street food stalls of Amritsar. A crunchy, flavourful starter that's a crowd favourite in Edmonton.
Amritsari Fish is a legendary Punjabi street food that originated in the holy city of Amritsar, and it's one of the most celebrated starters at Punjab Dhaba Indian Cuisine in Edmonton. Fresh fish fillets are marinated in a tangy blend of carom seeds (ajwain), red chilli, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, and lemon juice, then coated in a crispy chickpea flour (besan) batter and deep-fried to golden perfection.
The result is an irresistibly crunchy exterior with tender, flaky fish inside, bursting with bold Punjabi flavours. Served with mint chutney and fresh onion rings, our Amritsari Fish captures the authentic taste of Punjab's street food culture right here in Edmonton. It's the perfect appetiser to start your meal or enjoy as a snack.
At Punjab Dhaba Indian Cuisine, every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic Punjabi recipes passed down through generations. Our Amritsari Fish is made fresh daily in our kitchen at 7619 Argyll Road NW, Edmonton, AB T6C 4A7. We offer dine-in, takeout, catering, and online ordering for your convenience — open 7 days a week from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
