Our family loves Punjab! This is one of the first restaurants we tried when we relocated to Massachusetts and it quickly became a favorite. The food is always outstanding and the atosphere is warm and welcoming. When the restaurant is busy, service can be a bit slow but the food arrives quickly and is always excellent. My husband's family is Punjabi and for him, this restaurant tastes like home. :)

It's a very disgusting restaurant, they make people wait for 35-40 minutes, they lie and say your order is ready in 5 minutes.

It's a very bad place. They tell everyone 5 minutes and make them wait. I was going to buy a package for 30 minutes, but they keep me waiting for 30 minutes and they still say they haven't done it. It's a bad place.

Sadly, the mighty fallen. Punjab used to be a terrific restaurant. Best Indian around. And I’ve given it several extra chances before writing. Ultimately, the prices have gone up, The quality is gone down, and the wait time is really really long. Last night was my final time ordering from Punjab. we waited over an hour for a truly sub-par meal.

I love Punjab's. The food can't be matched both in how it's prepared and presented. The owner and staff are all so nice to talk with. It's comfortable, clean with an intimate atmosphere.

I had veg. Samosa, chicken tikka masala and garlic nun for lunch. Bad diarrhea ? hours later. Spent >$43 (generous tip) to be sick ?. 9-10 years ago the food was great, they must have a new chef. Not good ????

Very nice setting. Good service.I ordered a chicken dish and it was very tasty but WAY too spicy! But there was enough delicious tender chicken for at least 3 portions, I discovered when I brought the leftovers home.I wish they brought a couple of papadums and chutney to the table to welcome us, which I have come to expect in nicer Indian restaurants.So probably next time I'll get takeout.

Service was solid and atmosphere was relaxing. We started with a vegetarian and a lamb samosa and both were very good. My shrimp curry was excellent with lots of shrimp. I got it medium hot but wasn’t hot enough so the brought more hot sauce which was homemade and excellent. My friends said their meals were good ( see pic) the naan was very good.

The restaurant has a lovely decor and perfect lighting level. The food is delicious. I've never had pakora so perfectly crispy. The sauces were flavorful without overwhelming the filling. The Masala dosa was good and beautifully presented. Honestly, the spicy vegetable soup that came with it was better. I will
