I had an amazing experience at Punjabi Dhaba on 101 Punjabi Ave! The food was bursting with authentic flavors — from the perfectly spiced yellow Daal to the fresh, fluffy naan. The staff was warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted freshly prepared. Definitely my go-to spot for real Punjabi comfort food!
