Dropped in for dinner with my family, kids first time having curry and we definitely enjoyed every bit of it! Great customer service, they were very kind and polite as I tried to explain the options to my kiddos! Food was served with great timing, we got an appetizer and had more than enough time to enjoy them, talk about our day a bit & the dinner plates were on the way over to our table! Thank you for the great experience!
This is the best Indian restaurant I have ever tried! The lamb was so tender and flavorful, with no trace of gaminess. The portions were generous, ideal for sharing between two people. My husband had the butter chicken, while I opted for the lamb masala and Punjabi lamb platter. Our server was attentive and accommodating, ensuring that our needs were met throughout the meal. The ambiance was also pleasant and contemporary. We got a complimentary rice pudding which is awesome!
I had the pleasure of enjoying this restaurant for my birthday! The atmosphere was nice and the service was really helpful for those not familiar with Indian cuisine. The mango lassi and mango mule mocktail were lovely beverages for the mango lover in me. The naan basket was a delicious appetizer that paired well with the many curries we had the pleasure of enjoying. For dessert I highly recommend the rice pudding or pistachio kulfi. I even got a complimentary chocolate cake & cheesecake for my birthday. Would highly recommend!
I've been here twice, had takeout once and dined in once. The food was great both times. Service was quick even on New Year's Eve. Spice level is 1-5 and I chose 3. Perfect level for me.
We came in not knowing but it was highly recommended by a fellow yelper and she was right. The place is large, nice and clean. They have a party area you can rent with a bar. It’s a great place for a large party. As soon as we get in, we were met by Ms. Kumal, a very pleasant, beautiful and helpful host. She helped us order what I want and she is a host of knowledge for this place. She made our experience here pleasant that I want to come back without even tasting the food yet. I had a Mango lassi, her recommendation and that is a a very tasteful and refreshing drink. The lintel soup came and that is full of flavor and so good. The food came fast and the serving is very generous. We ordered a delicious salmon tikka Masala that is so exotic and delicious . We also ordered a Laban sampler and it came looking so delicious and large serving. Every bit so delicious. But we ordered mild but it still came with a little kick that’s manageable because we were enjoying the meal. All in all, our experience is excellent and deserving another comeback.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is colorful, cozy, and very welcoming. It was my husband and I's first time at this restaurant and we plan on frequenting it because of the awesome food , the polite staff, and the sweet owners. When I asked our waiter if they had egg curry on their menu, he said no but gladly accommodated us which was super sweet and appreciated. Egg curry was one of the first dishes I had when meeting my husband's family for the first time 13 years ago so it holds a soft spot in my heart. I can't wait till the next we stop by to dine in, this restaurant deserves all the love and I plan on recommending them to our friends.
The hostess and staff were gracious, warm, and welcoming. The atmosphere featured spacious seating, great colorful art, a comfortable temperature, etc. We dined for two, but the food was plentiful and served in great shareable portions. The meal was fragrant and so delicious. My significant other and I shared the Punjabi platter, pappadama, butter chicken, and Punjabi mix Biryani. For dessert, we had rice pudding and a decadent Gulab Jamun. My significant other also tried and enjoyed an Indian beer. My taste buds jumped for joy due to the variety of flavors experienced throughout the meal. I highly recommend dining at this great establishment for foodies, date nights, family outings, book clubs, and/or anyone interested in exploring the robust flavors of another culture that tease all your senses. I will frequent Punjabi Rasoi Indian Cuisine again.
