" Honestly disappointed on my last visit. I had the lamb curry and while it looked appealing, the flavor was lacking quite a bit. It wasn’t bad, but definitely not what I was hoping for. The service was warm though, and the naan was fresh and soft. " (*Curated Review*)

" Regrettably, my experience was not up to par. I had their saag paneer, which was overly greasy and bland, falling short of what I expected from an Indian restaurant. I’d like to give it another try because I’ve heard good things, but I left disappointed this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is generally good, but I've experienced inconsistency in flavor lately. My chicken tikka was succulent but my partner's paneer was just average. The decor is simple, but it adds to the charm of this food court spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" A nice local Indian spot with friendly service. I enjoyed the paneer tikka and found it well flavored though a touch oily. I'd suggest a visit if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved the experience at Punjabi Tandoor! Each dish was made with care and had authentic taste. I am particularly fond of their biryani which is one of the best I have tasted around. Five stars from me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes, but the butter chicken fell short. It wasn't flavorful and felt more like a creamy soup rather than a curry. The service was quick which was a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" The place is worth the hype! The curry had rich flavors, and the desserts were delightful. The staff seemed overworked but managed well under pressure. " (*Curated Review*)
