Punjabi Dhaba - Kenner

Everything is Divine. Try the Dosas and stuff it with dessert. The dosa crepe is savory but add some sweet to it. Service is very helpful but lacks in the "I speak English" department. Very opulent fixtures. Unnecessary. Would have appreciated less fine chairs and utensils and a more moderate price DEFINITELY WILL GO BACK OFTEN.

I tried the buffet. I've been reading about and it was all delicious. The curry was spicy. The hot chai tea was just what I wanted. I'll be back and I highly recommend part of me it to others!

I was pretty impressed by the food at Punjabi Dhaba! I went for the first time this past weekend with some of my friends to try their lunch buffet. The restaurant is out in Kenner, but the drive is worth it to get authentic Indian food at a reasonable price which can be pretty hard to find in New Orleans. Someone in our group had dietary restrictions//allergies and the owner came out to help explain each dish to ensure that they would be able to eat from the buffet. The buffet consisted of classical Indian dishes, but it also had specialty dishes such as Methi Matter which impressed me. They also make fresh dosas with sambar during the buffet period. Overall, it was excellent find in New Orleans for great Indian food!

My friends and I stumbled upon this restaurant. The chairs inside are magnificent - like chairs for a king or queen and so comfortable. We ordered appetizers and an entree. The appetizers were out of this world. They were so good, we ordered a second round just as our entree came out. The entree was good - It could have had a little more flavor to it, but overall good. I asked for the dish to be mild, so I wonder if they took out a spice they normally use. There are a lot of options for vegetarians and gluten free - and they are clearly marked on the menu!The service was excellent. The owner and several others waited on us and made sure we had everything we needed.

This is one of the best Indian places around! They've only been open since December 1st of 2022, but we think they have the best buffet in the New Orleans area! For about $20, you get to eat their daily lunch buffet, which was fantastic both times that we've been here! You definitely get the most bang for your buck here.The buffet menu differs each day, but they have items such as:*Dosa*Pokoras*Chicken or goat curry*Tandoori chicken*Butter chicken*Chicken kabob*Saag paneer*Lamb curry*Fried fish*Biryani*Daal*Shahi Paneer *Carrot or pinapple halwa*Jalebi*A whole selection of sauces, chutneys, and picklesand so much more that I cannot remember!Every item was well seasoned and delicious. All of the meats were so tender and juicy. Really cooked to perfection. The buffet is refilled constantly (because it's so popular here), and it looks clean too. The décor and set up of the tables is also nice - plenty of space.

My daughter and I took a shot at trying some Indian food, but wanted to go to a buffet because we have no clue what to order. The inside of the restaurant is very nice. It is really clean and pretty fancy. The service is fantastic and the people are very friendly. One of the staff could see that we were kind of lost at the buffet, so he brought us on a "tour" of it and explained everything single item to us. I thought that was really nice. I asked about a certain item that I'd seen in their reviews on Yelp, but the lady said that they only make it on certain days. She told the kitchen staff to make it, and brought them to us free of charge. Ok, now the food.... It is very fresh and they are constantly adding to it. The warm naan melts in your mouth. There were probably roughly twelve items on the buffet, and we only found one we didn't like. Between the food and the service, this is a great place for an adventurous foodie like us. We will definitely be going back, and I definitely recommend that you try it.

Coming to post in the light of Mr. Negi's passing to highlight just how wonderful this place is- not only is the food authentic in a way that uses spices that made my parents reminisce about their childhood dishes growing up in India, but Mr. Negi and his team always made an effort to make every guest at the restaurant feel welcomed by personally greeting them and spending at least 2-3 minutes at each table. His hospitality combined with the fun decor made and continues to make this place more special than the average Indian restaurant in a way that stays true to its roots with the food and hospitality.For the food, tandoori chicken is never dry and has the perfect spice level. Same goes for the kabobs that are clearly all baked to perfection in their custom tandoor. Paneer dishes are always on point and a favorite is the appetizer. Buffet quality is always on par with dinner service. And definitely definitely recommend the rasmalai trifle with a side of masal chai to end the meal. One of the most unique and perfectly executed desserts I've ever had an Indian restaurant.Highly highly recommend this place for the amazing food that's made with a lot of love from a talented team. I also catered a 75-person event with them and the food was personally delivered in warmers and was a hit at the party. Portions were more than generous and pricing was very competitive.Thank you for bringing your joy to our little town Mr. Negi, you will be missed.

Had another excellent buffet meal here today! The food was hot and fresh and they have a varied number of offerings. Have been here at least a dozen times and have truly enjoyed each and every visit. The staff is very nice and helpful.

Brought my family (10 year olds have not had this type of food before). Everyone LOVED it. Food was very good, and the service was to match!

Excellent food & serviceMust try...We were in town for a day & got lucky to try this rest.Very humble people.
