Pollution season demands more from your body, especially your gut. Throughout the toxic months, digestion can be protected with targeted nutrients, cleaner food, better sleep, and a calmer mind. Pair lifestyle changes with indoor air care and regular check-ups if symptoms persist. Your gut is talking. This winter, listen closely.

When you think of Dharmendra, you immediately picture the rugged, charismatic “He-Man” of Bollywood, the kind of actor who could deliver tough action one moment and heart-melting romance the next. But somewhere beyond the silver screen, he built something equally rooted in his Punjabi soul and warmth: Garam Dharam Dhaba.

Back in February 2018, Dharmendra teamed up with restaurateurs Umang Tewari and Mickey Mehta to open the first Garam Dharam outlet in Murthal, Haryana.

It wasn't just a dhaba, it was a tribute to food, friendship, and the nostalgia of his films. With a capacity of around 1,200 seats, it became more than a highway stop; it was a place where his fans could feel close to him, even off-

Walking into Garam Dharam feels like stepping into a Bollywood set. The interiors are dotted with iconic posters and graffiti of Dharmendra’s most beloved roles. Even the entrance has a playful nod to his famous Sholay bike scene, complete with a water tank.

However, the menu also honors Dharmendra in addition to the décor. Imagine buttery parathas, biryanis, dal makhani, galouti kebabs, and much more. Everything is served in steel thalis, with old-school lassi and mocktails in vintage tall glasses, giving you that true dhaba feel.

The collaboration between Dharmendra, Tewari, and Mehta was special. “The idea was to make something that resonates with all generations,” said Tewari.

They designed an area that reflected Dharmendra's earthy charm and his appreciation of small pleasures.

What was Dharmendra's restaurant project, "He-Man"?

And it didn’t stop there. After the dhaba’s success, Dharmendra announced another venture, a “farm-to-fork” restaurant named He-Man, blending wholesome food with his larger-than-life persona.

Today, in the wake of Dharmendra’s passing, Garam Dharam Dhaba feels like a warm, living tribute to his legacy. It’s not just about dining, it’s about remembering a legend who, for all his fame, never lost his roots or his love for the everyday desi way of life.
