We got Kheema samosas. Those were even worse than the frozen ones which we get at Indian stores lmao. Check the videos and photos, the Kheema is dropping out like dry powder. On top of that the waiter had an answer ready when we brought the point up, he mentioned the Kheema is dry and has a powder texture because when deep fried the water may splatter. That’s the most nonsensical answer I have ever heard in my life. I am originally from Mumbai and have been staying in NJ for over 5 years now. I have had Kheema samosas at various restaurants and never had this issue. If you know the problem why keep it in the menu and over charge for it? We tried Paneer Butter Masala and Butter Chicken. The Paneer had a taste of ready made tomato purée and butter chicken was a bit bland. I have been to Punjab as well. Honestly this place is a disgrace to North Indian food. I am shocked with all the other reviews, they seem a bit fake to me.

I’ve become a regular customer. What truly makes it outstanding to me is the quality, of the food and the excellent management and oversight of its owner, who truly cares about his customers, so often who become friends. If he ever volunteers to cook for you, definitely just say yes! Just when I think I’ve got my top five fav dishes, he cuz your non-canny capability to drop a new one into the top ranking for me. Highly recommended! :). – Dave S

This is a Punjabi/Indian restaurant.
The food is decent but the prices is very high compared to the portion given
Plenty of free parking.
Very nice dine in area, has cool posters of classic Bollywood movies on each table.
Service is good.
I just wished the prices were little lower or the portions were little more.

You can stop your search now. This is the best Indian restaurant in the area. That being said, the bar is low in Western Mass. Strongly recommend the Lamb Bhuna. The low spice levels are not very spicy, so I recommend asking for medium or above.

It’s a good place for Indian food lovers. Both veg and non-veg Starters were very good. Roti and naan was also good and the portion was good for 2. Non veg curries were fine but the taste wasn’t significantly different from one another. Paneer achari was the winner and so was kulfi. Rasmalai and gulab jamun were not fresh but tasted ok.

This place is a gem! Amazing food and customer service. Everyone was extremely inviting and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the natural/organic foods and oils they use to bring out their incredible flavors. The dessert is a must have! We came here for a business meeting and will be back soon! Hoping the owner will be there again, he has great energy and made the experience even better!

This is by far our favorite Indian restaurant in the area. We recently got Curry Beef, Chicken Curry, Garlic Naan, and Chicken Tikki Masala. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The service was great as always. Writing this makes me want to call in an order :)*

Lunch buffet:
I’m by no means an expert on Indian food, but I’ve worked in India for several months (Mumbai, Baroda, Cochin, and Vizag), so I’m not completely clueless either. I’m from Houston, which probably has more Indian restaurants per capita than any other US city…some there are ok, others rival the best in India. Pintu’s, in Houston would be middle of the pack, if they were there.
Pintu’s buffet is a bit limited in selection, but authentic to the (Punjab-ish) traditional cuisine and certainly my expectations.
For health reasons, I’m low carb these days, so I didn’t get to enjoy the rice, bread, deep fried items, Chana Masala etc., but their tandoori chicken, Brinjal bhartha, okra fry (bhindi do piaza), butter chicken, and beef keema were all mouth watering and memorable.
Special mention for the tandoori chicken and especially the brinjal bhartha (separation of spices, freshness, texture etc.). Fantastic ghee base with a ginger – garlic – chili base taste, bringing the masala alive, punching thru faithfully and sensationally on each bite with a satisfying aftertaste… I very much enjoyed every moment. Kudos to the talented chef and staff.
The chutneys (mint, chili) were great (I can’t do tamarind these days…sugar/carbs). Also, the salad mix was nice, diverse, and had a wonderful dressing on the side.
The negative… the host guy was questioning why I brought in a bottle of kefir (it’s like yogurt, I put it on my salad) and I had to explain myself than I eat a bit with all meals for health reasons (probiotic).
He still looked very concerned, but gave in when I continued to push back. 4 stars, due to this. The other staff were great about taking my empty plates, refilling water, etc.
In summary, it is a limited spread, but very high quality, true to the tradition, mouth watering yummy Indian lunch time buffet that cost 19.20, tax included. This worked out to 6.20 per plate, terrific value, recommend restaurant, bahut svadish hei!!!
