" Punjabi Dhaba is a decent place to satisfy your Punjabi food cravings. While the food was good, I found some dishes to be a bit oily for my taste. The dal makhni was creamy, but the richness was almost overwhelming. The ambiance is simple, bordering on rustic - definitely not a fine dining place, which suits my preferences. I think I would give it another try and explore more options on their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find! I came here during a trip, and the meal was memorable. The dishes were packed with flavor and the portions were generous. I loved the baklava as a sweet touch to finish my meal. Service was quick, and the staff were very welcoming. I’ll surely be back when I’m in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I often stop by when I want a quick meal that's fulfilling and tasty. The thali is a good option as you get to sample various dishes at a reasonable price. The staff are polite and attentive, adding to the overall pleasantness of the dining experience. However, I felt that the sweets could have been a bit less sugary for my taste. Overall, I would recommend this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was feeling nostalgic for home-cooked Punjabi food, and Punjabi Dhaba definitely delivered! Their food made me reminisce about my grandma's recipes. The masala chai was particularly delightful and paired well with the fresh gulab jamun. It's a bit of a drive from where I live, but I’d say the trip is worth it. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are seeking genuine Punjabi food, this is the place! The aloo paratha is perfectly spiced, and the butter is so fresh. For dessert, the gulab jamun was not overly sweet and just the right amount of softness. The staff were friendly and ensured that we had a great dining experience. Not to mention, it's very budget-friendly. I highly recommend dining here if you ever get the chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Punjabi Dhaba based on the reviews and must say I was not impressed. The service was mediocre, and my order took longer than expected. The food was decent but lacked the bold flavors I'd hoped for. Overall, a lackluster experience, but perhaps it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of the best Punjabi restaurants I have been to! The food is always fresh, packed with authentic flavors, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the cooking. I often go there for lunch and the quick service is a huge plus for someone like me with a busy schedule. Highly recommend the bhature; it's the best! " (*Curated Review*)
