Punjab Cafe

Solid place!I really enjoyed their Butter Chicken and Chicken Curry. Their Garlic Naan was so flavorful too. Also their medium was a pretty good spice level. Highlight dish though was definitely the Lamb biryani.Recommend the Veg Manchurian too so much umami!I appreciate their free rice and service was really in point. Server checked up and refilled water so quickly.Note: parking is kinda hard, if you're an student nearby definitely worth walking

The food is really solid for this area, and the people are nice. 4 stars instead of 5 because it's a bit pricy for weird things that make the cost add up ($9 more for butter chicken/tikka than other chicken dishes, $4 more for lamb than chicken, $6 for garlic naan, etc.)It's not insane pricing, but if those numbers above were a few dollars lower, I'd be eating here at least 2x per week!

I ordered take out, 2 butter chicken medium spicy (16 oz each) and 2 orders of porotta (total 4 pcs). This has been my go for Indian food, love the flavors here. If you don't know what to eat, I highly recommend Punjab Café. I mainly order their curry or butter chicken. Each time they were all packed with flavor. The heat level matches the description, so if you are unsure, medium or mild is a safe bet.Butter chicken (4/5)The butter chicken sauce was very creamy and packed with flavor. The medium spicy had a nice kick to it. The sauce is 5 out of 5. The only down side is it had only 5-ish small piece of chicken. Porotta (4/5)The porotta had a nice texture, I love the chewiness, paired well with the butter chicken. We ended up using all four pieces for one order of the butter chicken. Tho, I think I still prefer their garlic naan more.

Pass by this place all the time because it's right down the street from where I live and am barely trying it 3 years later! So glad I did! Saturday night very quickly found parking on street. It's authentically decorated with artwork representing the food, really cute and quaint. The food came out timely and cooked beautifully. Started with the samosas which was a little dry on inside but the sauces softened it right up. Nice and crispy outside. We got the meal for 2 which was under $60 for two meat dishes, rice, naan, appetizer and dessert and sodas. Can't go wrong with that deal. Anyways the main meat dishes were sooooo good! Butter chicken was very good and the lamb Jordan (I think it was called that) had such a good spice and when you added the yogurt sauce mmmmmm. Will def be going back; server was friendly and food was just excellent.

I came back to Punjab cafe after almost 10 years. Their buffet is great and they've renovated since then! Good price ($18) and good variety of veg and non veg food. The meat was also halal so my coworker was also able to enjoy their food. Nice selection of dessert items too (I love me some kheer with gulab jamun). My favorite food items were the chicken dishes, pakora, and kadhi chawal. The masala chai was a nice touch and helped digest my food!

I used to dine here way before the pandemic and it was my GO-TO spot for Indian cuisine. It was all I could think about during quarantine because it's SUPER DELICIOUS!I've written a review for this restaurant previously but I don't know what happened to it so here I go again! I've been to other Indian buffets but I always come back here.Prices definitely have gone up but I still believe it's totally worth the price. At $18.99 per person (buffet price), you have a wide selection of curries as well as tandoori chicken, chaat papri bar and dessert!!!The buffet used to include samosas and chapati but since the pandemic, I haven't seen them bring samosas back to the buffet scene. HOWEVER, buffet now includes fresh naan. It's super fluffy, warm and so so good.My favorite butter chicken has to be from Punjab Cafe. It's super flavorful, creamy and the chicken is so tender. Punjab Cafe also makes the BEST tandoori chicken and chicken biryani. I could literally DEVOUR a plate of chicken biryani and butter chicken in an instant.Overall, Punjab Cafe will continue to be my favorite spot for Indian cuisine. The dishes here are just out of this world and I recommend this place to everyone.

Punjab cafe offers traditional Indian cuisine, authentic flavors, and aromatic spices. Each dish has a perfect balance of heat, ideal for those who relish a kick but tread lightly if you're heat-sensitive. I wouldn't recommend anything past mild in that case!Ordering ahead online not only ensures timely indulgence but also unlocks exclusive deals, making the wait worthwhile. I would recommend adding a 30-40 min buffer. Ambiance is okay, nothing special. I've never actually sat down and dined here but tables seem fine. Portion sizes are great and generously satisfy appetites. I always have leftovers! While the menu offers a plethora of delights, and I've pretty much tried all of them, I steer clear of the shrimp dishes.

Amazing experience at Punjab Cafe. Located semi-downtown Punjab Cafe has many pros. I'll start by saying parking is tricky (again it's downtown) so expect to park in residential area or make a few spins around the block for meter parking. The establishment itself is medium sized very easily fit a large group for dine-in. The menu is vast and from the dishes we ordered packed with flavor. My favorite part was the portions, it was perfect TL sized for a meal and even some left over for later. The service was amazing, very courteous, attentive and professional. Will definitely be back to continue to explore the menu.

It's always overwhelming blindly ordering DoorDash when traveling based on reviews, but Punjab Cafe had noticeably higher ratings than the rest, so my friend and I took the plunge.We ordered the following, and all were excellent! We ordered medium spice for both entrees and were surprised & delighted by how strong the medium level actually was.- Garlic Naan: No skimping on garlic here, folks! It got a bit soggy throughout the delivery, but that's absolutely no fault of theirs, and I'm sure it's fantastic onsite.- Veggie Pakoras: I was a bit skeptical because these were very dark compared to what I typically see, but it did not taste at all burnt and was great!- Butter Chicken: Solid and satisfying! Not the best I've had, but I also could not fault it.- Bhindi Masala: The star of the show! Very decently spicy, and super flavorful. I'd order this again for sure.Everything was packaged very well with saran wrap to prevent any leakage, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

We ordered the meal for two $60 which came with two choices of curry, rice, garlic naan, appetizers (lamb samosa and papadam ), drink and dessert. What a deal! There was enough food for four people! We decided on the Chicken Coconut and the Lamb Masala. Both were excellent! Would definitely come back again. And the service was great!
