" Had dinner at Punjab Cafe last night and enjoyed every bite! The Masala Dosa was crispy and served with a delicious coconut chutney. My friends ordered the Chicken Biryani which they loved too! The wait staff was attentive and made sure our glasses were always filled. A truly enjoyable dining experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our meal at Punjab Cafe was delightful. The buffet offered a good variety, and everything tasted fresh. The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes were substantial. Only downside was the seriousness of the staff; a little friendliness would have gone a long way. Overall, we enjoyed it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried their takeout service for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised! The Butter Chicken was spicy and delightful, exactly what I hoped for. The Naan was still warm and paired perfectly. However, I found the quantity a bit less for the price. Overall, though, it was a delicious experience and I’ll certainly order again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a decent experience. The food was good but not memorable. I had the Paneer Tikka which was nicely spiced, but I felt it could have been more filling. The service was okay—not the friendliest, but nothing to complain about. I might consider visiting again if I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant was suggested by a friend, and I must say, it did not disappoint! The varied buffet has so much to offer. I tried the Lal Maas, which had the perfect spice kick, and the Tandoori Chicken was succulent. Their desserts, especially Kheer, were heavenly. A must-visit for any Indian cuisine lover. " (*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 My only qualm was the decor felt a little outdated, but who cares about that when you're enjoying such great food!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*)
