The food is so comforting. It's a perfect blend of spices, not overwhelming. It was just right, and it feels so much like a home-cooked meal, which is rare. I absolutely enjoyed it. Will be back for more soon. Thank you 🙇

I recently ordered takeout from Shere Punjab on Maine Street in Brunswick, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. There’s no dine-in option currently due to staff shortage, but the takeout service was prompt and polite, which I appreciated. Sadly, the food quality was very poor.
The chole was undercooked, the naan was hard and barely chewable, and the onion bhajiya were extremely oily, they were literally floating in oil. I really wanted to support a local place, but the taste and texture were off across all dishes. For the price, it wasn’t worth it.
Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant until they improve food preparation and consistency. The service was decent, but the meal itself fell far short of expectations.

Used to be a quirky, simple little restaurant with the usual dour patriarchal staff but very good food. Now it's a loud, smoky, crowded, filthy diner with disorganized staff, no control over food quality and no atmosphere. If the "authentic" feel of India is a packed bus station, this place is for you. I won't go back.

My wife and I happened by the Shere Punjab while were visiting Bowdoin and needed a place for a quick and casual lunch. We had lunch specials which we were excited to find were far out of the ordinary. The cooking was carefully made to order, not steam table stuff. My dish included a regional specialty, halibut, in a great and complex curry sauce. The restaurant is a family affair, and we met father and daughter, who are gracious and helpful. I would go out of my way for this restaurant.

So delicious 😋

Having been in Nepal and India a year ago, it felt exactly like stepping back into those countries! The Masala Tea was perfect, no over exaggeration!

The servers were extremely rude and arrogant. The food is not up to the mark. Disappointed.

Love this Indian restaurant. The food is delicious, our favourite ❤️
My girlfriend and here tried the vegetarian and vegan lunch choices. I will say that lunch choice for both was a really good deal! The flavors were complex and I like food spicy which helped make the meal a bit more enjoyable. Let me say that for a budget lunch meal, for two it was close to 36 dollars for two entrees and naan, and a soup which was reasonable for the amount of food we received! I would recommend it. The man who greeted us was friendly and personally came over to give us dietary recommendations as we were both in need of recommended options

We were on long road trip and we normally look for top rated Indian restaurants along the route. This place was a disappointment after a long drive in a rainy night. Google said they are open but they were closed on Sunday 7:30 pm. Not sure who to blame? Them or Google or My badluck. Pathetic experience!
