Punjabi Junction is a hidden gem in the DMV area. Delicious food, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. I drive out of my way to go to this place. I usually do carryout - the food is packaged well with generous portions. Highly reccomend.

I have no hesitation to give all 5 stars for the quality of food and services after we concluded my kids bday event. They catered a wide range of veg and non-veg items with great taste n spice standards.
