" A charming takeout spot! I enjoyed the egg curry, which is quite rare to find. The bold flavors were perfectly balanced, and the accompanying rice was fragrant. I felt welcomed by the owners who were eager to share their food stories. The only drawback is no indoor seating, but it didn't impact the superb experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Punjabi Dhaba through a friend and decided to give it a try. Wow, I was blown away! The Butter Chicken was genuinely authentic, rich, and full of flavor. The owners were incredibly friendly, offering us some complimentary chai tea while we waited. I must say, the atmosphere is cozy and feels like home, even though the seating is limited. I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving real Punjabi food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Returned to Punjabi Dhaba recently and was reminded of why I fell in love with the place. The butter chicken was just as delightful as I remembered; rich and creamy, with an authentic taste that you can't beat. The owners are exceedingly kind, always offering chai as you wait. Just keep in mind it is a small takeout shop, but it's worth the trip for the fantastic food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Punjabi Dhaba is a rare gem! The authenticity of the food is commendable, and every bite reminded me of my travels in India. The hospitality was unexpected and heartwarming—the owners are fantastic and very engaging. I had their saag and it was absolutely divine. Only downside is the takeout aspect; I would love to dine-in if possible. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at Punjabi Dhaba last evening. The couple running the place are so warm and welcoming. I tried their saag and it was so rich and flavorful. Also, the portion sizes were more than enough for the price. I can say I've tasted authentic Punjabi food and I'm looking forward to returning to try their other specialties! " (*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*)
