Punjab Cafe

This restaurant holds a special place in my heart as an avid lover of Indian cuisine. I had fond memories of the previous owner, and recently, I decided to return after a long time. I had the pleasure of speaking with the owner's daughter, who impressed me with her kindness, professionalism, and natural leadership qualities. The food was absolutely fantastic. The garlic and coconut naan were perfectly prepared, full of flavor and texture. We ordered the dinner for two, and I must say, the portions were incredibly generous—enough to comfortably feed four people. I will undoubtedly be returning, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious Indian food and exceptional service.

New ownership! Dining room is actually clean now and smells good. Appears to be North Indian cuisine. These are some interesting dishes and everything was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, and I got the impression this is a family run joint. Based on how the dishes came out, it they were indeed being cooked from scratch with care and attention to detail. They even played Ravi Shankar when we asked them! I haven't tried their buffet but this place easily is a top 5 Indian spot on the south shore.

Omg. I used to get vegan samosas delivered all the time before I moved to Quincy. And I had almost despaired of finding any here. But not only did Punjab Cafe have them, but they are amazing! If anything they’re better than the ones I was used to. I also tried their Mushroom Bhaji which was amazing. And don’t all you meat eaters rule this out! My partner was super impressed with their Chicken Masala and their Garlic Naan. It’s hard to find places that have both amazing vegan food and amazing “omnivore” food. This place is it! As I read this over, I’ve noticed I use the word “amazing” over and over, but I’m not going to fix it. It’s well earned. This place amazed me. :)

Got the Royal Chaat (with samosas), Vegetable Momos, Punjabi Kadhi Pakora, and Garlic Naan. The Punjabi kadhi was the standout dish; the yoghurt-based curry was delicious! The garlic naan was also pretty good. The Royal Chaat was pretty good, but slightly bland. I liked the samosas, but I wish the sauces were slightly tangier and spicier as they were on the sweet side. The vegetable momos tasted weird because of the excessive amount of ginger in them. They would’ve been great without too much ginger as the dough was really well made.

Delicious food! Particularly the chicken dishes. The vegetarian dishes were also pretty good but the baingan bartha wasn’t the best. Would still recommend. I’m sure I’ll come again.
