"Curd Rice was delicious, best of home cooking, very comforting, just perfect for a snack or late-night easy meal. Vadas were crispy and delicious, although undersalted. Puliyodharai was a huge disappointment, I did not enjoy it at all. It was very one-note with the sour tamarind masking every other flavor. Podi Dosa was, as always, crispy, thin, and delicious!"
"These 14 mini idlis were absolutely perfect for a South-Indian comfort meal. Soft, fluffy, and served steaming hot with a flavorful sambar and two chutneys — one coconut, one tomato. The sambar had just the right spice balance and depth; it didn’t feel oily or heavy at all.
As a vegetarian, this is the kind of dish that hits home — light, nourishing, and authentic. The mini-idli format makes it fun and easy to eat, and you can taste that the batter’s well-fermented and freshly steamed.
Verdict: Ideal for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner when you crave something homely and satisfying."

I was expecting very less quantity like other indian restaurants but they impressed me with the mutton quantity and taste

"It was average, the togo containers were smaller than expected but it was enough for me. The Fish Curry was not good, way to acidic like they overdid some spices. It almost reminds me of rasaam. But the Chicken Kuzhambu was good, tasty, wish they included more meat and curry for $14, overpriced imo, it was worth maybe $8-10."

"4 DOSA BALL for a price of $9.99- such a scam. Also they were so oily, didn't eat after one bite, just small balls of potato, dosa batter was minimum, so call it potato balls! Moving on to the Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura- really?! Has the chef eaten Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura?? Not even close, to the taste. You should simply call it chana bhature, not Rajouri Garden Chana Bhatura, the taste is decent but the bhaturas somehow were bitter. They were very fluffy and to ny surprise not oily like the dosa balls, but there was a bitterness in them. But overall chana bhatura was decent-3.5/5. Comes with onion salad, pickle and raita."

"Ordered the Nostalgia Pothichoru The food didn't have any taste, the Chammanthi didn't have any flavour, both the thoran was uncooked and tasted raw and the fish in the fish curry was like a rubber couldn't even bite it, the palada in payasam was also not cooked properly, the pickle was just made and had raw spice flavour.

We Ordered the Lamb Biryani (the lamb was SUPER tender), Chicken Tikka Kebab (which was really tender as well), the Butter Chicken and Malai Kofta were amazing, and the Samosa as well. Only note is the Papadum is extremely peppery, more so than any I've ever had, will definitely make you cough if that pepper hits the back of your throat. Overall incredible. Absolute 5 stars."

"Combo 2 (with 2 Vegetables) is a good value for money from this store. I would rate their Zunka as favorite, followed by bharli vangi. Dal tastes very homely.
Would recommend Paneer Tikka Frankie for a quick bite which fills you up really well. "
"I ordered the Crispy Paneer Burger, Sev Puri Sandwich, Sukhi Batata Bhaji, and Aamras with Puri, but the quality was extremely disappointing across the board. The paneer in the burger was stale and off-flavor, while the Aamras was poorly blended, chunky, and tasted terrible. The Batata Bhaji had undercooked, unseasoned potatoes with no salt, and the Sev Puri Sandwich was completely dominated by tamarind chutney with zero other flavors. Having ordered here before, this was nowhere near their usual standard and a complete waste of money.

"This is my go to place for Hara Bara Kebab! Hands down best in the area. The Paneer Tikka is delicious as well. Cooked to the right consistency with perfect amount of marination.
I was a little disappointed with the green Chutney however. The curd was over fermented (possibly spoiled). I got a very strong whiff of pungent sour smell as soon as I opened the container. When I tasted it, it was definitely spoilt! The restaurant should give curd based cold items in a separate bag from warm items to avoid situations like this! "

"This review is for mutton dum biryani that is available only Fri through Sunday. Been in the bay for over 15 years and tasted every popular place in south bay and east bay, I would say this is the truly authentic dum biryani I ever had. They use fresh goat meat, hence succulent with perfect amount of spices. As you open the box you get a smell of cloves and cardamom. The salan and raita is on the thinner side which is how it should be. You have option to order double masala which makes it on the spicier side. From now onwards this would be my go to place for dum Biryani.
One improvement they can do is use bigger box. As you take it in the plate it creates a mess. "

"Ordered in advance, Punjab Cafe accepted the order around 6:40pm and I received the order at 7:10pm (asked for 7-7:20 delivery)
I ordered the 24oz Butter Chicken (which is HUGE), the Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, a small rice (enough for 3 people), and 2 orders of the Vegetable Samosas (4 total)
Everything was piping hot and wrapped with extra care. Definitely enough food for 4 people
The Butter Chicken is a delicious tandoori style chicken in a creamy butter sauce. I ordered mild but will try medium next time as mild literally has no spice
The Chicken Tikka was my favorite. I ordered medium and it had the perfect amount of spice. It comes with onions and peppers with are an added bonus. Each piece of chicken is a sizable chunk (about 2 inches cubed)
The Vegetable Samosas are nice and crunchy. I typically like them spicier, but they were still delicious"
"I come here pretty often for the buffet, and I honestly find the food so delicious. I love pretty much everything they have! I usually get the garlic cheese naan or the mozzarella cheese naan with garlic, so I was a little disappointed when I ordered the mozzarella cheese naan through DoorDash and received regular naan instead. Luckily, DoorDash resolved the issue, and I completely understand that mistakes happen, but it’s still important to pay attention to orders and make sure customers receive what they paid for.
That being said, the regular naan was still delicious and had a really nice crispiness to it. I just wish it had a little more butter and seasoning. Their butter chicken is also really good, and I love their salads and chutneys. I always ask for extra chutneys because they’re that good! Another thing I love is that they often have great buy-one-get-one-free deals, which is especially nice if you’re ordering for a larger family or group. Overall, I really enjoy the food here and will definitely keep coming back!"

"Delicious Paneer Butter Masala (Veg). Tasted amazing with the Garlic Naan. Portion size was very substantial for the price, quite impressed."
"Portions were extremely small for the price. Super expensive. Mild was NOT mild. About 6 small pieces of chicken, both masala and butter chicken tasted the same. The basmati rice was so expensive with barely any paneer. Only two pieces of naan . Nothing came with sides. Definitely would not order again."
