Kundan's at Gajraula is the kind of highway stop that earns its reputation the hard way — 3,800+ ratings at 4.8 across platforms, built entirely on word of mouth from travelers doing the Delhi–Moradabad–Jim Corbett–Nainital run. The building is visible from a kilometre away, a deliberately large structure at Milestone 109 on NH24, and the "I ❤️ Kundan's" sign out front is something reviewers consistently bring up long after they've forgotten what they ordered.
For a road trip with dogs, Kundan's checks the boxes that actually matter: ample parking, spacious indoor dining, outdoor area where dogs can stretch after a long drive, clean restrooms (multiple reviewers specifically praise this — it matters on a 5-hour journey), and fast service even during peak hours. The EV charging station is a relatively recent addition, making this one of the few highway stops that works for both petrol and electric vehicles on this route.
What's on the menu
The menu covers an unusually wide range for a highway stop. North Indian standbys like Chhole Bhature and Dal Makhni share space with South Indian options (Masala Dosa, Idli Sambhar), chaat (Pani Puri Blast, Samosa Chaat, Raj Kachori), sandwiches, and pasta. The palak parantha with dal makhni is specifically called out as the most popular order. Save room for the sweets — traditional mithai including Bal Mithai and Kaju Badaam Phool are freshly prepared on-site.
Why this stop works for road trips with dogs
The practical question on any long drive with a dog is: where do I stop where nobody makes it difficult? Kundan's at Gajraula has been used by enough pet-traveling families that the experience is predictable — spacious enough that your dog isn't squeezed into a corner, outdoor space to walk them properly before getting back in the car, and a staff that handles a steady stream of highway travelers without making anyone feel rushed.
The Gajraula food hub context
Gajraula has become a recognized pit-stop cluster on NH24, with several restaurants in proximity including Moga Punjabi Dhaba (also listed and verified on this site, since 1969). Kundan's is the newer, more polished option — Moga's is the old-school authentic dhaba that's been serving truckers and travelers since before most people reading this were born. Between the two, you have solid coverage regardless of whether you want a thali experience or a sit-down family meal.
