" Punjab really hit the mark! My friend and I shared multiple dishes and were blown away. The flavors were spot on, and the dish presentation was colorful and inviting. The garlic naan was a standout! We even got some mango chutney on the side, which paired perfectly with the spicy dishes. While the atmosphere was inviting, the service was slow during peak hours. Still, we left full and satisfied, planning our next visit to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was amazed at the variety they offer! Every dish was a celebration of Indian cuisine. My favorite was the chicken biryani—was lovely! The staff was highly knowledgeable and incredibly polite. The atmosphere was just perfect. I look forward to coming back with family for another feast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dined here with my partner and we left feeling quite satisfied. I appreciated how the flavors were distinct and didn’t mistreat the authentic recipes. The ambience was relaxing; a perfect spot for date night. The service was attentive, though our food took a bit longer than expected. Overall a good experience, I’ll surely recommend this place to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a mixed experience! The food at Punjab is undeniably tasty, especially the lamb curry. However, I found the spice levels too inconsistent. My friend asked for mild, and it came out flaming hot; I guess the chef loves a good chili kick! The service was fair, though we encountered a wait during peak dining hours. The ambiance is nice, making it a suitable place for family dinners or a date night. Overall, worth a visit, but communicate your spice levels clearly! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly relished my evening at Punjab Arlington. The food was hearty, and my palak paneer was perfect; the flavors danced on my palate. I was particularly pleased with the inclusion of authentic spices. The ambiance was peaceful and relaxing, making it a delightful spot for dinner. However, the service could improve— my friend’s order was mixed up, causing some delay. Regardless, I would return just for the food experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delighted is an understatement! Punjab Arlington stole my heart with their vast range of vegetarian options. I had the malai kofta, which was rich and luscious. The naan was freshly baked and perfectly charred, while the service was attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant maintains a cozy atmosphere, ideal for friends gathering. The portion sizes fit the price well; I felt satisfied yet not overstuffed. A lovely experience that I can't wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lackluster experience at Punjab. The food was average, lacking that explosion of flavors I crave from Indian cuisine. Service was okay but felt somewhat hurried, which was disappointing. The atmosphere was pleasant yet sterile. Probably won't rush back here anytime soon, I think there are better places out there. " (*Curated Review*)
