Taste of Punjab

Indian food has always been my favorite. I’ve tried a lot of dishes, and I’ve declared more than a few places “the best”… only to change my mind later. Well—move over, everyone—because I have a new champion. Taste of Punjab in Philadelphia now holds the crown for the best Chicken Tikka Masala I’ve ever had. And listen… this place doesn’t come with flashy décor or trendy vibes. It’s kind of a dive. Minimal parking—especially after a snowstorm—but we eventually squeezed our way in, and I am so glad we did. Honestly, it’s the kind of spot that’s worth circling the block ten times just to find a parking space. While we were there, a steady stream of people came in for pickup orders, plus a few delivery drivers—which is usually a very good sign. The woman at the counter was super laid-back, fri

Visited this place for the first time, we went there very late even though they stopped taking Dine in customers they let us sit and served us very well. Overall great flavor great experience. It’s a family owned business couldn’t get any better. I got to know that they use ghee and olive oil which is very healthy and uncommon in restaurants around the area. Highly recommended ❤️

My only gripe about this place was the parking situation, there is no parking lot, just say a prayer and hold your breath. We came for a late night dinner here after a show at about midnight, the Doordash & Uber Eats were a consistent flow. The waitress/hostess, the daughter of the owner was very hospitable and kind, great service. Free Pakoras were a hit! Evey dish we ordered was tasty, but every dish had bell peppers and onion chunks. The Lamb Kharai was the best I've had in a while, good portion, and not too many bones, with a thick delicious gravy that I enjoyed very much with the Garlic Naan. The Lamb Chops were good, nice seasoning, and char flavor from the Tandoor. The Rasmalai didn't taste housemade, but it was still good. The packaged Kulfi Ice Cream for $5 each was a bit

I don't know how this place does it, consistently knocking it out of the park every time we order from them. I really mean it, I'm confident that when we order, every time we can expect a delicious meal, that are respectable portions and extremely flavorful every time. Also, I had no idea that chicken could be this flavorful, their Chicken Malai Kebab is great and is one of our favorite dishes there besides of course butter chicken and their veggie dishes, Baingan Bharta, Chaat Papri etc. Thank you guys for making great Indian food accessible to our neighborhood!

I’ve been to many Indian restaurants in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, both suburbs and Philly. This was one of the best ones better than Thanal or veda or any place in the suburbs. I can tell that they use fresh ingredients from the taste. The dish I use to measure these places are my go tos. Veggie samosa, butter chicken, and Ras malai. Their samosa was crispy on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside just like how it’s supposed to be. The butter chicken was fantastic, not overly sweet like some places make it (which tastes like they dumped a few spoonfuls of sugar in) but still having the sweetness and slight tanginess imparted from the tomato. The spices were literally perfect and really brought out the flavor of the chicken. The chicken itself is tender and was nice and hot wh
