" I had lunch at Punjabi Dhaba and I must say, it was one of the best decisions I've made lately. The garlic naan paired perfectly with my chicken tikka masala, and the spice level was just right for my palate. The owner explained the preparation of each dish, which I appreciated. Although it is primarily carryout, they do have a couple of tables outside if you want to eat there on a nice day. Overall, a wonderful experience that made me eager to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, I visited Punjabi Dhaba and was pleasantly surprised. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The butter chicken was perfection, and the naan was light and fluffy. I can truly say it’s some of the best Indian food I've had! The only suggestion I have is to offer dine-in options. I would love to enjoy that amazing food seated comfortably. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t say enough good things about Punjabi Dhaba. Their paneer dishes are unlike anything I've tried before, and the flavors are incredibly authentic. The owners treated me like family; they even offered me a sample of their special chai while I waited. I’ve never felt so welcomed in a restaurant! The only downside is that it's takeout only, which can be a hassle sometimes, but it’s well worth it for the food. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Punjabi Dhaba multiple times and each visit has assured me that their authenticity is top-notch. The chaat I had last visit was delectable and reminded me of home. The only downside is the lack of seating, as it's primarily a takeout joint. Nevertheless, the service is always friendly and even includes samples when they know it's your first visit. Can't recommend it enough. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Punjabi Dhaba for the first time recently. The food was good but based on the hype I was expecting something extraordinary. The butter chicken was tasty, but I felt that the portion size could be larger for the price. Moreover, I didn't get an overly warm welcome like I had hoped. Perhaps it was an off day; I would be willing to give it another try to see if my experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited Punjabi Dhaba this past week and it did not disappoint! The biryani was fragrant and packed full of flavor. The owners were delightful, showing their passion for the food they serve. I noticed it's primarily carryout, which is understandable given the size, but I feel like I would have enjoyed the experience more if there was an option to try. Still, I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" The **Punjabi Dhaba** is definitely worth visiting! Had the most flavorful chicken curry that reminded me of home. It was lengthy wait but enjoying the chai while I stood in line made it tolerable. I would say next time I will carry some light snacks or order ahead! Overall, I was impressed with their quality of food and service. " (*Curated Review*)
