Rasoi, which means cooking, reminds me of delicious food cooked by my mother back home in India.
Many of my fondest childhood memories include sneaking into the kitchen for freshly made snacks, sweets and basically a handful of anything my mom made.
As I moved to different parts of the world, I kept missing the aroma and taste of my mother’s creation of flavorful dishes. This yearning led me from engineering to becoming a chef. I learned cooking in the busy streets of Delhi, transplanted the flavors to the busy streets of NYC and finally settled as a Head Chef in Virginia Beach.
Now, after 30 years in the industry I felt short on liberty to create the flavors of my childhood dishes, leading me to open Punjabi Rasoi, the closest thing to

We were greeted cordially by the lovely lady at the frontdesk. She treated us like her family. Already felt like home. Service and ambience is excellent.

I recently dined at this wonderful Punjabi restaurant in Norfolk and it was a remarkable experience. The food was simply outstanding, packed with flavor and authenticity, while the hostess Kumal was sweet and caring. The restaurant had a vibrant ambiance, and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this place for a delightful taste of Punjab.

I recently dined at Punjabi Rasoi, and I must say, it was an incredible experience! The food was simply outstanding, with a wide variety of flavorful dishes that satisfied both vegetarian and non-vegetarian preferences. Each dish was carefully prepared, and the authentic spices used added a delightful punch to the flavors.

Amazing From the aloo dum to the masala chai, everything was freshly made and flavored with care. The rice pudding was rich and flavorful and the aloo dum was rich and savory. Kumal was super friendly and such a kind and attentive server. The food was made by a 5 star chef from India! It’s so hard to find a place worth raving about, let alone truly authentic Indian cuisine.

Kumal was super nice & helpful when taking my order. She had a lot of great suggestions for food items. I ordered the mutton biriyani, butter paneer, and paneer Naan which was all delicious.

My husband picked this place for his birthday and he did good. This place is good, if you like real fresh Indian food. It’s a mom and pop restaurant. I can’t remember the name of the dish but it’s the owner lady’s favorite chicken dish she recommended to us and it was really good. We’ll definitely come back here. Our 8 yr old liked it too.

The food is outstanding, the environment is pleasant, and the service is generally fast. Depending on the time you go, sometimes you may not get as fast of service as others. However, this is the best Indian food in Norfolk. I’ll still come back regardless. We asked our waiter to suggest which Indian beer to try and the one he suggested (the kingfisher) was super smooth and tasty. I always get the chana masala and am always satisfied. The pakora platter as an appetizer is a great idea, although we weren’t fans of the fried cheese. The samosas and veggie pakora are yummy! The garlic naan is a must. Definitely check this place out if you love Indian food or want to show someone amazing Indian food for the first time.
