Customer Reviews
Im not sure why do many people rate this so highly. Compared to Royal Taj the food was bland . More like diner food, definately diner atmosphere. Lamb vindaloo lacked flavor. Garlic naan was not very tasty and neither was the rice. You pay extra for chutney, which they serve in a plastic carry out cup. Of course that would all be acceptable if the food was very good. I don't expect it to have the atmosphere or the service as some of the finer Indian restaurants but I do expect the food to taste as good. Also FYI we did not know that no one comes to your table to take your order so we waited for a long time only to figure out that you have to go to the counter. Portions a little small for the price too. Hostess was very nice though
Wow! I am beyond happy with my experience here. I ordered take out, and the minute I opened the bag I knew I was in for something good. The rice was fluffy and well seasoned, the samosas were big and crispy, and the curries were all absolutely delicious (chicken tikka masala and chicken saag). I will say they were a little spicy for me (I ordered medium), so next time I will probably get mild. The daal makhani was also incredible. Even though I didn't dine in, I could tell the space was clean and the owner was very friendly and welcoming. I normally don't like to eat out because I often end up feeling disappointed and like the food wasn't worth the price. Not this time - I'm already planning my next visit. Thank you!
Delicious, fresh and name your spice level. Yes, I over ordered! But I have yummy food for days! Cooked to order and you can taste it! Its’s a little pricey but it’s worth it because you are not making this food at home!!! Enjoy!!!
Family, do not sleep on this Indian restaurant please! Their food is amazing! They serve fresh, quality dishes, seasoned to perfection and cooked with passion. I’ve tried many dishes here and have never been disappointed. If you’re unsure what to order or the appropriate spice level, just ask and they patiently describe the various dishes and make recommendations. I only got the fried bread, samosas and the chaat from the app menu (sp?) today because my daughter wants this for dinner. Next time you’re craving Indian food, do yourself a favor and try Punjab Café. You won’t regret it.
Delicious food, and wonderful service. The vegetarian appetizer is perfect to share, fried but not greasy with great chutney. The bullet naan is one of the best I’ve had. The main dishes are deeply flavorful, distinct & complex. I love the paneer makhani & the vindaloo sauce. A wonderful unexpected find that has become a go-to when I’m in the area.
