Punjab Cafe

Buffet 18.99 on Saturday. Pretty good. Butter chicken and tandoori chicken very good. Vegetable biryani too. Asked for unsweet tea and the guy still brought me sweet tea. Whatever, I liked the Punjabi mom and dad working the restaurant. Immigrants are the most normal people in San Jose by far.

A really good hole-in-the-wall type spot for Indian food. I got butter chicken with garlic naan, and both were super fresh, flavourful, and very delicious. The portion for the butter chicken was also quite large which was a huge plus. The staff is polite and the restaurant is a lot bigger than it seems from the outside and is well-kept. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

Soya chap is not good at all. It’s fully dipped in sweet chilli sauce. Very bad taste.

I would give them 5 stars for everytime else except what I ordered today.
The chilli soya chaap was sweet like a desert! Its literally dates chutney dipped soya. I ended up washing them and making my own gravy.. :( the chapatis are not good at all as well, thick, dry and lack taste, the picture displayed is misleading !

What I would recommend though is their plain lassi, you can ask them to make less sweet, they are frothed fresh everytime! Also, I love their Onion kulcha and kadhi..

I may not be indian, but I’ve always loved indian food. Over the years, i’ve eaten at many indian restaurants and this one has to be one of the best. I ordered butter chicken, which i don’t often had, and i was blown away. The sauce was creamy and rich, the naans were beautiful, but above all else, the chicken was the most tender and juicy chicken i’ve had in my life. I could still taste a smoky flavor on the chicken. Would highly recommend, 11/10.
