I enjoy Pakistani food, so when in areas with Pakistani restaurants, I try to try new ones… I recently came in here with a colleague for lunch. The place was clean, I could even see in the kitchen and it looked nice. Service was fine. The menu is filled with the typical Pakistani/Indian delights.
We tried their chicken tikka (boneless) kabob. The flavors were really good and the meat was tender. It came out perfect. The naan was incredibly soft and perfect texture and density too. Their veggie biryani was more of a mix of curry into the rice, versus the right way of making it with curry folded into the rice with some other colored rices folded in as well. The flavors were just a messy/overall single flavor, rather than tasting the different flavors. The karahi was really just a stewed chicken curry, versus a freshly made stir fried (in a karahi) style curry with fresh tomatoes and chicken. I could tell by how melty and stewed down the chicken was. Overall, the flavor was ok, but it didn’t resemble the karahi I’m familiar with from making ir and eating it in Pakistani family kitchens over the years.
I still enjoyed the visit and if I came back, I’d stick with kabobs

Amazing food, wonderful experience!
Firstly, Paa ji welcomed us warmly.
The restaurant is cozy and welcoming.
We ordered paneer delicacies and the paneer was perfectly cooked.
Chole bathuras were the BEST! Have thoroughly enjoyed them.
The pricing is very economical
For the price, they served good quantities.
Definitely worth coming in. We will come back for sure.

We were trying to place an online order for New Year’s Day and unable to do so. I called the restaurant and the owner picked up and offered to deliver it himself! The food arrived quick and fresh and everyone loved it. We will definitely be ordering again!

I had such a great experience at this Indian restaurant. The butter chicken was absolutely delicious it was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor, paired perfectly with the fluffy white rice. The samosas were golden and crispy, and the tamarind sauce and chutney took them to another level. The garlic naan was soft, warm, and perfect for scooping up the sauce. On top of the amazing food, the service was truly outstanding. The staff were so friendly and attentive, making the whole meal even more enjoyable. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the portions were generous without being too heavy. I’ll definitely be coming back, highly recommend this spot if you want incredible Indian food and excellent service!

Punjabi Junction was an excellent source of authentic Indian cuisine! From the Byranis to the Tandoori, appetizers and desserts alike are simply delicious. The staff and servers work well as a team to ensure the customer has a great experience. Punjabi Junction has the best filtered tap water!! This is reflected in everything they offer and it makes this restaurant the first choice go-to for any occasion. Overall the restaurant is very clean and tidy. Punjabi Junction also offers accommodations for large parties. I definitely recommend Punjabi Junction, there is simply no place better.

I went on a weekday with my wife to post a movie for dinner. The ambience of the restaurant was pretty good. The food I thought was bland with very less salt and they don’t provide salt and pepper on the table. (Which you guys should). After adding this, the food was manageable. The Tikki and Paneer Pakoda in the assorted platter was very good though.

Hands down the best chicken tikka masala in the area. It’s cooked in a typical Punjabi way with well balanced spices (I’m so glad the gravy isn’t on the sweeter side). The entrée also came with a side of naan/rice.
My husband had the chole bhature and absolutely loved it.
Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Another big plus is the cleanliness of the restaurant & the beautiful ambiance. We will definitely be visiting this place again.

Been my go to restaurant which is just across my office. Before COVID they had a buffet system and weighed food. But they have stopped it now. I wish they open it back. Anyway apart from that , Punjabi Junction is a really restaurant with quite a nice ambiance, I have been going here for about 3 years now. I have always gotten a satisfied service and food. I have tried almost everything on their menu. I always rate their Channa Saag , Dal Tarka and Samosa as my favorite. Other dishes are quite good as well. But, chats are satisfactory. Being a vegetarian , these are go to dishes. My colleague mentioned chicken items are good as well. I recommend just having their main course not their chats.
Overall very good restaurant. Must try !!!!

Note, lunch buffet no longer offered now.

This will be a skewed review at best. We came because Punjabi just started to offer buffet for lunch. Most indian buffets [good ones] shuttered over the years so to see buffet options pop may indicate (a) lots of restaurant compeitition based on return to normal (b) attempt to attract much needed customers.
Nonetheless buffet is above average. In particular, whenever I can get endless succulent tender goat/lamb curry, you get 5-stars. Tender stewed goat/lamb IS the G.O.A.T. of all red meat stew dishes and of course far superior to beef short rib stew or oxtail soup IMHO. Regardless, the fresh butter naan is ridiculously addictive.
