Well prepared dishes at great prices, Punjab Cafe’s Chicken Biryani is to die for! The atmosphere is welcoming, service is quick and the food is always banger. The owner and staff are friendly and good natured. Would recommend for authentic dishes.

If you love food that comforts your soul than this is the only option when it comes to north indian cuisines the quality of the taste is like mother or grandma cooking from the fresh ingredients well spiced mouth watering recipes this place deserves more stars, upon entering this restaurant you are greeted with an inviting hospitality the menu is listed with so many delicious choices the owner is so humble and respectful the staff are always polite and very fast with the orders and never get my order wrong me and my family always look foward everyweek to eating either our favorite butter chicken or coconut curry chicken paired with any rotti paratha or naan and always trying something new each week

A really good hole-in-the-wall type spot for Indian food. I got butter chicken with garlic naan, and both were super fresh, flavourful, and very delicious. The portion for the butter chicken was also quite large which was a huge plus. The staff is polite and the restaurant is a lot bigger than it seems from the outside and is well-kept. Overall, I’d definitely recommend checking them out.

Tasty, authentic and interesting Indian food!
I tried a starter here that I had never had before, and it blew me away – Chat Papri is now a new favourite! Puffed wheat wafers, with potato’s, cucumbers, tomatoes & onions with yogurt and tamarind sauce.
I then had a spicy Kadai Chicken with garlic naan which was again, brilliant. Tender chicken, spiced perfectly and very tasty.
The naan was a crunchy style and presented well and added to the dish.
The staff were friendly, helpful and service was swift. I’ll be back for sure!

The food is awesome! I just wish the pricing made more sense, then I’d eat here twice a week. But $7 for naan, $5-6 for white rice… it just makes the total cost too much. These are the cheapest things to make, why jack them up so much? It means that dinner for one person is $35, or $40 if you want chai. Get that to $25 and I bet business explodes.

Update: they serve lamb on the buffet now. Still my favorite Indian buffet, I even go by myself for lunch sometimes.
Buffet is $20 now, but SO WORTH the price for the options. I’m obsessed.

Found this place by accident. Quaint little hole in the wall with an exquisite indian buffet for only $16.99!
Great for people like me who have no idea what to order.
Service was GREAT! Very friendly staff.
(Buffets are only Friday/Sat & Sun)
I wish they offered lamb or different dishes weekly but the buffet dishes I’ve tried so far (all of them) were pretty terrific.

Buffet 18.99 on Saturday. Pretty good. Butter chicken and tandoori chicken very good. Vegetable biryani too. Asked for unsweet tea and the guy still brought me sweet tea. Whatever, I liked the Punjabi mom and dad working the restaurant. Immigrants are the most normal people in San Jose by far.
