" I had the pleasure of visiting Punjab Cafe during an Indian festival, and the atmosphere was lively! The buffet had an impressive array of items, from savory curries to sweet desserts. I particularly loved the Gobi Manchurian and Gulab Jamun. The staff was attentive and friendly, creating a warm environment. Can't wait to go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently catered from Punjab Cafe for my sister’s wedding. The catering service was impeccable; the food was delivered on time and hot! Everyone raved about the butter chicken and the vegetarian options, especially the paneer tikka. It was a hit! Plus, the staff went the extra mile to ensure everything ran smoothly. Highly recommend them for any large gathering! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Punjab Cafe. The dishes were bursting with flavors, and the staff was genuinely welcoming. The Samosa was the best I have tasted in a long time—crispy and filled with flavorful potatoes. I had the Lamb Rogan Josh, which was delicious but could use a few more tender pieces of lamb for a better ratio. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have dined here multiple times and always leave satisfied! The buffet is awesome, featuring items like Chana Masala, Palak Paneer, and various breads. The taste is always on point, and the variety is commendable. On my last visit, I found the service to be particularly friendly and proactive. Ideal for families or even a cozy date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Punjab Cafe last Saturday with friends and we had a blast! The buffet was filled with an incredible array of options, from fragrant biryani to perfectly cooked naan. Each dish had a rich flavor profile that really honored authentic Indian cuisine. The staff was attentive and ensured our plates were always cleared promptly. I can't wait to go back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the lunch buffet last weekend and I must say, it was quite satisfying! Everything from the curries to the desserts was fresh and flavorful. The Butter Chicken was especially good, but I wish they would rotate the items more often. The service was friendly, making it a delightful experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic place for Indian food! The flavors were bold and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the Daal Makhani. Portions were generous, and the service was fantastic. My only qualm was the decor felt a little outdated, but who cares about that when you're enjoying such great food! " (*Curated Review*)
