Excellent food here! Our staples include chana masala, butter chicken, samosas, aloo gobi. Medium is spicy so get mild if you’re concerned about that. Mango lassi solves any spiciness probs and is so good!

Punjab is an awesome restaurant featuring Indian and Himalayan cuisine. The authentic food, decor, and reasonable prices makes this place a great spot for a meal. Punjab feels like a hole in the wall and is a great place to taste Indian food for the first time, or try something new!

So sorry for the bad pictures, the food was so amazingly delicious we couldn't even wait to take the picture. That garlic naan was so amazing, I enjoyed every single bite. So fluffy, garlicky, buttery, with a slight crunch from the toast on the bottom. We've never had chicken momo before, but I am so glad we tried it. The dough was so chewy and delicious. The filling was perfect. I could eat a bowl of these dumplings everyday for the rest of my life and not get tired. I love how they offer a choice for how spicy to make it. We like it on the spicier side (but I know some people don't like heat). We ordered the lamb vindaloo (medium-hot) it was so good! Perfect heat. The lamb was so flavorful and tender, melted in my mouth. Chicken korma is my all time favorite. They did not disappoint, every single bite was better than the previous. (Heated up the next day and tasted even better, if that's even possible). It was our first time trying this place (we ordered takeout) and service was super nice and patient with us and our questions. Thank you for the amazing food!!! So excited to come back!

Ordered lamb saag tonight for dinner. I’ve never had an issue before until tonight. There are BARELY 3 pieces of lamb in this dish…for $20 a plate this is pretty sad. Will likely just go to chaska from here on out.

Delicious food. had the butter chicken. And butter nan bread. Nice and quiet restaurant. The only issue we noticed and other tables were saying it as well that the staff seemed short handed and had to sit and wait for a bit till someone poked their head out to notice people were waiting for them to take orders or bring water etc. Overall though it was a nice restaurant

This was our first time trying Indian Cuisine. WE ARE SOLD!!!! The ambiance was wonderful the service was spectacular and the food -DELICIOUS. We would give The Punjab ten stars if we could! If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out! There was too much food for one sitting for us, so we took it home and had it for dinner the next night. Just as good as it was at the restaurant. If it your first time trying this type of cooking, don't be afraid to tell them. The waitress took her time explaining the differences between the dishes and heat levels. I had the lamb vindaloo at medium and my wife had the mango chicken between mild and medium. They can adjust the heat level to your liking. Just ask and don't be afraid to be a little adventurous.

Wonderful little spot, service was top notch and helpful. One thing 2 know is that you can ask them to go in the middle of the spice levels, we went middle and this Eskimo was feeling the heat directly from Punjab. Next time I'll ask for a level down from mid. Recommend doing the Samosa's on the app list with the yogurt dressing, out of this freaking world! We kept one for leftovers and ate it the next day, they are amazing!!! Wonderful team of folks there, keep it up!
