" I had an exceptional dining experience at Shan-A-Punjab! The ambiance was absolutely lovely, a perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the Lamb Rogan Josh and Chicken Tikka Masala. Every bite was bursting with flavors! Honestly, the lamb was so tender and savory. The service was friendly, and they even customized the spice levels to our preferences. I can’t recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Shan-A-Punjab was underwhelming. While the atmosphere and service were decent, the food did not meet my expectations. The Chicken Curry tasted overly sweet, lacking the authentic spices I was hoping for. The portions were good, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon as I'm looking for more authentic Indian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" The best Indian restaurant I've been to in Boston! The service was prompt and the food was just divine. The samosas were crispy and full of flavor, and I must say the mango lassi was the cherry on top. The restaurant had an inviting atmosphere, which made our dinner feel special. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to this restaurant a few times and have always had a good experience. The staff is consistently friendly, and the food is delicious! The garlic naan is a family favorite. I will certainly continue coming back for more meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a mediocre experience. I was hoping for a robust flavor, but the dishes fell flat. On the positive side, the service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. I might give it another chance in the future, but as of now, it's a 50/50 for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely lovely meal I had at Shan-A-Punjab! The mixed grill was amazing, full of various flavors and spices. I truly enjoyed my meal and left with a happy belly. I cannot comment on the atmosphere as I chose takeaway this time, but I have heard great things! " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh my goodness, the food was divine! The Chicken Kadai had the right amount of spice, and the service was friendly and efficient. The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and warm, perfect for family gatherings or casual outings. Definitely returning to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
