Indian food has always been my favorite. I’ve tried a lot of dishes, and I’ve declared more than a few places “the best”… only to change my mind later. Well—move over, everyone—because I have a new champion.
Taste of Punjab in Philadelphia now holds the crown for the best Chicken Tikka Masala I’ve ever had.
And listen… this place doesn’t come with flashy décor or trendy vibes. It’s kind of a dive. Minimal parking—especially after a snowstorm—but we eventually squeezed our way in, and I am so glad we did. Honestly, it’s the kind of spot that’s worth circling the block ten times just to find a parking space. While we were there, a steady stream of people came in for pickup orders, plus a few delivery drivers—which is usually a very good sign.
The woman at the counter was super laid-back, friendly, and actually fun to talk to—great personality and totally on top of things. We asked for Paneer Pakora as an appetizer, and she suggested the Vegetable Platter instead since came with more variety and it was actually cheaper. Sold. It included vegetable samosas, mixed pakora, and paneer pakora—and wow, was that the right call. Everything was excellent, but the mixed pakora stole the show: spicy-hot, packed with veggies, and perfectly crispy from being deep-fried.
When it came time for entrées, I did what I always do—I panicked over the menu for way too long and then went with my trusty favorite: Chicken Tikka Masala. Absolute home run.
My wife ordered the Korma—rich and creamy, with cashews, raisins, and just a hint of cardamom—and it was outstanding too. We got both dishes at medium heat, and it was spot-on. Warm, flavorful, and just spicy enough to keep things exciting without wrecking us.
I wouldn’t just recommend Taste of Punjab to Indian food lovers—I’d say it’s a must-stop if you’re anywhere near Center City Philadelphia. Hunt for parking, be patient, and rest assured… it will be completely worth it.

Visited this place for the first time, we went there very late even though they stopped taking Dine in customers they let us sit and served us very well. Overall great flavor great experience. It’s a family owned business couldn’t get any better. I got to know that they use ghee and olive oil which is very healthy and uncommon in restaurants around the area. Highly recommended ❤️

My only gripe about this place was the parking situation, there is no parking lot, just say a prayer and hold your breath.
We came for a late night dinner here after a show at about midnight, the Doordash & Uber Eats were a consistent flow.
The waitress/hostess, the daughter of the owner was very hospitable and kind, great service.
Free Pakoras were a hit!
Evey dish we ordered was tasty, but every dish had bell peppers and onion chunks.
The Lamb Kharai was the best I’ve had in a while, good portion, and not too many bones, with a thick delicious gravy that I enjoyed very much with the Garlic Naan.
The Lamb Chops were good, nice seasoning, and char flavor from the Tandoor.
The Rasmalai didn’t taste housemade, but it was still good.
The packaged Kulfi Ice Cream for $5 each was a bit steep in my opinion, as I usually get them for about half the price at the grocery store.

I don’t know how this place does it, consistently knocking it out of the park every time we order from them. I really mean it, I’m confident that when we order, every time we can expect a delicious meal, that are respectable portions and extremely flavorful every time.
Also, I had no idea that chicken could be this flavorful, their Chicken Malai Kebab is great and is one of our favorite dishes there besides of course butter chicken and their veggie dishes, Baingan Bharta, Chaat Papri etc.
Thank you guys for making great Indian food accessible to our neighborhood!

I’ve been to many Indian restaurants in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, both suburbs and Philly. This was one of the best ones better than Thanal or veda or any place in the suburbs. I can tell that they use fresh ingredients from the taste. The dish I use to measure these places are my go tos. Veggie samosa, butter chicken, and Ras malai. Their samosa was crispy on the outside and soft and mushy on the inside just like how it’s supposed to be. The butter chicken was fantastic, not overly sweet like some places make it (which tastes like they dumped a few spoonfuls of sugar in) but still having the sweetness and slight tanginess imparted from the tomato. The spices were literally perfect and really brought out the flavor of the chicken. The chicken itself is tender and was nice and hot when the dish was served to me, which means they probably pulled the chicken out of the oven before the butter chicken was served to me. No other place I’ve been to has had that and that says a lot of their commitment to piping hot fresh food for their diners. The Ras malai had the perfect texture and tasted like honey milk. Oh yeah almost forgot but I also got a mango lassi and it was chef’s kiss mango deliciousness. Literally 11/10 experience with the food alone, and the attentive and accommodating waitress made it a 15/10. I will definitely be back when I’m in the area, and thanks for the complimentary pakora! Price is super reasonable for the pure deliciousness you get.

I had an absolutely wicked cold and ordered delivery hoping for some comfort food. I think their tikka masala healed me completely. I’ve had a raspy voice for three days and within 4 bites I was talking totally normally. This restaurant basically saved my life. And it was delicious. I’d give 6 stars if I could

Restaurant Review: Hidden Gem in Philadelphia
We decided to try this restaurant in Philadelphia after seeing its great Google reviews, and it didn’t disappoint!
When we arrived, the restaurant was quiet, with just one other couple dining. The ambiance was simple, though the seating arrangement felt a bit tight, and the table was smaller than a standard four-person dining table. However, the experience more than made up for it.
Our waitress, Harwinder, a nursing student, greeted us with a warm smile and exceptional hospitality. She took the time to explain the menu and even served us complimentary onion bhajji, which was a delightful start to our meal.
I opted for the Lamb Karahi and Garlic Naan—my first time trying Lamb Karahi, and it was absolutely phenomenal! The spices were perfectly balanced, and the lamb was incredibly tender and flavorful. My son chose Paneer Makhani and Bullet Naan. While the Paneer Makhani wasn’t as creamy as we’re used to, it was still delicious. The Bullet Naan, however, turned out to be much spicier than expected—truly living up to its name! My son couldn’t handle the heat, so we switched dishes and ordered a Rosemary Naan to cool things down. The Rosemary Naan was a standout—fragrant and perfectly baked.
To finish, we treated ourselves to Malai Kulfi, which was the perfect sweet ending to an already amazing meal. We also appreciated how affordable everything was—the pricing felt very reasonable for the quality of food and service.
Overall, this place is a hidden gem with incredible food, excellent service, and great value. I highly recommend it and will definitely return!

The food was well-made and very tasty. I am the biggest spice wimp on the planet, so I had trouble eating my samosa and pakora. That said, they were so tasty I ate more than I usually would for food that spicy. My family likes spicy and they thought the food was terrific.

Food was excellent, and very tasty. The food was extremely flavorful and yet very tender and juicy. I order the kabob , chilly chicken with gravy , and the chicken biriyani. Everything came out delicious. Also the service was amazing. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would be going back to try the Thali!
