" Shan-A-Punjab is a delightful find! The ambiance is relaxing, without being too formal. I visited for a family gathering, and everyone left happy. We ordered several dishes, and each one was impressive. I especially liked the Paneer Butter Masala. The only downside was the garlic naan; I wish it was unlimited! Overall, a beautiful place for a meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Shan-A-Punjab, I finally decided to visit. My experience was quite pleasant, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The Chicken Tikka Masala was delicious but not as spicy as I would have preferred. I will return, albeit with a request for extra spice next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit, and I had high expectations after hearing some great reviews. Unfortunately, the food tasted quite bland and didn’t match up to the genuine Indian cuisine I’m used to. Service was fine, but I went for the food, and I left disappointed. Not sure if I’ll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
