Can anyone name at least one genuine Punjabi Dhaba type restaurant in Mumbai preferrably in the western suburbs ? Most of Punjabi restaurants are routine urban fare dished out and does not satisfy in the least.

Most people, particularly non-vegeterians, find vegeterian food boring. Its usually paneer this, paneer that, paneer something else and so on and so forth. But it need not be. I'll attempt to review two great places for veg food in Mumbai in this and the next post. The first off is Guru da dhaba.
Guru da Dhaba is a small place in the Lokhandwala market, Andheri west. Just turn left after the McD at Lokhandwala and its the small place on your right. A dhaba in name and in looks. No AC. You share your table with others and food is plonked/slid on your table. Small kids run around with amazing energy serving all.
The menu is on the board in front. I suggest you ask for a glass of chaas while mulling over the menu. Its really the best chaas I've ever had. It worsened a bit in the past 4 yrs but still great. Everything is great so just go ahead and order. I usually favour the makhani rotis with dal/rajma and one subji. Rotis keep coming hot off the plate and no time I usually order for the second subji. Gobhi aloo, methi aloo, mushroom are my favorites here. I always think of trying other stuff but I relent to the urge of reliving past experiences. Some day, the law of marginal utility would play out and I'll move to other stuff. But it looks far right now!
I still remember my first time here. I got two shocks. First the realisation that I had eaten around 14 rotis! and second that the bill was around Rs 100!! Its no longer that cheap and the place has started to close down by 10.30 but its still great.
One can follow-up the great food here with Naturals ice-cream around the corner. A mix of tender coconut and malai tastes heavenly after guru da dhaba.
Rating = 5/5.

Punjabi Dhaba In Mumbai

I DONOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE
WESTERN SUBERB, BUT THE BEST
RESTAURANT WAS, WHEN I HAD STAYED
IN MUMBAI FOR TWO WEEKS IS
SHERE PUNJAB, GRANT ROAD CROSSING.
MUMBAI CENTRAL.
OTHERS ARE USELESS. Mumbaikars
have no taste for authentic Punjabi food,
if they have to spend money for themselves.
If invited for a dinner/lunch, they like
the punjabi food. But no way they would
ever patronise a Punjabi Dhaba/food.
Sorry, do not get hurt.

I'm stuck between home food & dhaba food. I like both.

There is one in DADAR which serves similar to Dhaba food but not the same - forgotten the name.
