" Punjab Arlington is a beautiful spot. I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging and knowledgeable the staff were, they guided us through the special dishes with immense enthusiasm. However, while the lamb curry was rich and creamy, I expected it to pack a little more heat. The setting is sophisticated but casual, good for gatherings or special occasions. I left happy but still craving more spice. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant really disappointed me. I was expecting a burst of flavors, but instead got bland dishes that failed to impress me. The waitstaff were friendly but seemed overwhelmed. The interior atmosphere was well-decorated, but the food lacked the warmth that I was hoping for. I might try a different place for Indian food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Punjab. While the chicken curry was flavorful, I noticed the portions seemed a bit small for the price, especially compared to other Indian restaurants I've frequented. Service was pleasant though occasionally sparse, which affected our experience slightly. The ambiance was effectively cozy. My friend enjoyed their lamb dish, but I was left wanting a little more. Perhaps next time I'll try a lunch special instead! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Indian restaurants, my expectations were set high for Punjab Arlington. The ambiance was charming, instilling a warm feeling, perfect for a chilly evening. I ordered the butter chicken, expecting richness, yet the flavor was milder than I had anticipated. The complementary side of rice was a bit smaller than I usually see, but the serve was friendly and accommodating. Overall satisfying but there's room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Punjab Arlington exceeded my expectations in many areas! The variety on the menu was excellent, catering to every palate. Both the butter chicken and eggplant bharta were delicious. The naan was soft with an incredible flavor. Their service, however, was a bit sluggish at times, especially during the peak hours. Regardless, the effort put into the food cannot be challenged, and I am eager to return! " (*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*)
