Punjab is a popular Indian restaurant known for its carefully layered spices in dishes like baingan bharta and tikka masala. Customers love the dairy-free options like the tikka masala, which is particularly praised for its rich flavor. The naan and paratha are delicious, with garlic naan and aloo paratha being favorites among diners. Some wish the lamb was more tender and the saag less cream-forward, but overall, the vegetarian options are plentiful and clearly marked. The portions are on the smaller side, but the food is so good that customers often want more. The restaurant is clean and accommodating, making it a popular spot for many. Recent reviews highlight the excellent Indian food, with some considering it among the best in the Boston area, especially noting the flavorful tikka masala sauce. The kitchen with its tandoor ovens is visible behind a glass wall, which kids enjoy watching. Visitors also appreciate the south Indian dishes like masala dosa. The staff, including bartenders and waiters, are attentive and friendly. The restaurant is a great choice for celebrations or casual dining, although some find it distracting when children run around during busy hours. Overall, Punjab remains a favorite for its tasty food and welcoming atmosphere.
