Great in every way. Food was amazing, service was top notch. Even has a large window where you can see the naan being made.

I had lamb biriyani here. Good taste and enough quantity for two. But their definition of biriyani is what many of us would call a ‘Pulav’. It wasn’t the typical biriyani with basmati rice that I’m used to.

Megan Sogard
Good food, and the dine-in experience is notably nice. I liked sitting in the “back” which is more brightly lit and has a view into the kitchen. Loved it.

Punjab is our go-to restaurant for North Indian cuisine. It’s one of the best in Boston area. We recently worked with Raj for catering at a wedding. Raj went above and beyond to help us. He was very patient with our requests and delivered beyond our expectations. The food was great and we had a very positive experience with Punjab. Definitely recommend them for catering!

The atmosphere was the absolute best here. The dining room is gorgeous. There was a wonderful spicy smell when we walked through the door and our service exceeded expectations. I don’t have a lot of experience with Indian food but the curry was delicious.

Not only did this lovely restaurant help us choose a yummy and safe take out meal (many food allergies), they also were kind enough to let us use the facilities when we picked up our food. I had a wonderful conversation with the owner about my train travels all over India when I was married to a South Indian.

Poor quality and overpriced. Ordered tikka masala and even the purée wasn’t done properly, curry had little onions in it, this is not how curry is made. In biryani I selected Hot and they shamelessly just put green chilies to a point where you can’t even eat.
