Definitely the Punjabi Indian Food I crave. I really enjoyed the Navratan Korma and Chicken Curry. Must try!

First I would like to comment on another reviewer with a negative slant. Out of 15 reviews that person has left 12 were 1 star. Unfortunately, some people live for criticism and negativity. Their opinion about Punjabi Fusion Grill is so WAYYYYY off base it is almost humorous and I felt compelled to share a real 100% facts review of PFG.
I "found" PFG yesterday as I passed nearby on I-85. Having lived in Indo-Pak Asia for 18 years (speaking five languages of the region fluently), I consider myself well qualified to review Indian style Punjabi foods. PFG is located in a repurposed Waffle House (minutes off Exit 63 on I-85). Exceptionally clean, modern (with free Wifi) and particularly attentive service the experience starts well. I ordered the classic butter chicken (always a good place to start) with naan and chai. Preparing my order took about fifteen minutes (which I don't mind as this is a sign the food is being prepared fresh) and came to me with a hot, deliciously buttered, fresh naan straight from the tandoor. The main dish came in a 16 ounce container with a side bowl of rice. Sturdy disposable utensils and the overall packaging was designed to let you eat half and take the rest home (which is precisely what I did) and I am eating the last of that as I type this review. Enjoying it twice in one day.
Now to the food. The food was GOOD! Authentic flavors and delicious. I would give it a 9/10. The only reason I have not given it a 10/10 is because I like my curry "desi spicy" and not "gora spicy". Many Indian restaurants tone down what ordering food "spicy or hot" means as the Western palate is not designed for authentic "bus/train station street foods" from India. The chai was good for a "dood pathi chai - translate: milk/tea leaf" (without the overpowering influence of "masala" spices you usually find in Indian tea) but could have been a little more robust/stout. Again tuned to the American palate of traditional tea. Management asked for and graciously accepted suggestions for improvement. I explained that for the normal American palate this was GREAT. I personally like things kicked up a notch in spiciness and robust flavoring which might be a bit much for the Western palate. Overall, it was a great experience and management said next time they will remember me and "kick things up a notch" for my personal tastes. A great opportunity to practice my Hindi and Punjabi. The FIVE STAR rating is well deserved. Another bonus, they are open all day, 11AM to 10PM.
Conveniently located behind the TA and Pilot Travel Centers at exit 63 on I-85 (one minute off interstate) and beside Quality Inn Duncan/Spartanburg West.

I like to try something different every time I order and I have not been disappointed once! Everything is fresh and very flavorful. The mango lassi is my favorite drink. The service is always exceptional and the staff is more than happy to recommend food. They remodeled inside and it’s very nice as well with comfortable seating.

Good food. Service felt like fast food: get your own menus, order at counter and return to pick up food. Messed up our order. Wanted to order additional dish after food arrived and no one was around. Disappointed in disposable plastic utensils and plates/cups, even for eating in. Felt cheap and wasteful, but prices did not seem to reflect this. Unfortunate, because food is tasty.
This is a lovely restaurant, such a gem to have in Duncan. The food is filling and flavorful, and if you ask for spicy, you'll get it! The staff are kind and the decoration is very nice also. They have a vegetarian section of the menu with plenty of options too!

Really friendly and super polite staff and the food is just so delicious and they got spice levels you can choose and their naan bread highly recommend , also I tried their samosa chaat and the potatoes in it was the best I ever tried and also the chili chicken can’t get any better 😋and for vegans they have gobi Manchurian which is made from cauliflower , and i tried Indian food back in November and it’s my favorite along with Japanese and Greek food and the Punjabi music videos playing in the background are 🔥
I am a truck driver and always look for spots I can walk over to and honestly the food was really good i got the garlic naan and butter chicken spicy and it was bursting with flavor, I don’t have any complaints the older woman that took my order was patient and kind. I was skeptical at first after reading the older comments but when I walked over they had a big sign saying under new management so idk if that played a part in my experience.

Great food! Fast and friendly service. They have recently opened and are actively working on the decor, it's very nice inside. We really appreciate having another cuisine option for this side of town. We will definitely plan to return soon!
