Food was good, loved the tandoori chicken and lamb chop. Tandoori Naan was little burned/over done. Salmon curry and lamb curry was exceptionally well - perfect desi heat. Punjab garden salad was pretty ordinary, overall 4/5 exp. Would recommend others and also I would love to come back for more.

This is « the » Indian restaurant in Arlington. I do not have the expertise nor the experience to judge the quality of the food. For me, it’s ok. Chicken was well cooked but drown into a thick sauce… but maybe it’s the way you serve it. Great staff and great people.

Great experience all around. They didn't rush us, which was the first thing that impressed me greatly. We were a group of 5 family & friends that hadn't seen each other for a year and just wanted to enjoy a nice relaxing time (to be fair, it was a Sunday night, I wouldn't expect that much time if they were slammed). We had drinks, apps, dinner & dessert, and everything was wonderful. I also got several containers of mango lassi to go which was amazing!! The service was great, everyone we interacted with was lovely. It's also BEAUTIFULLY decorated!! I know from someone else's experience, that they can accommodate large groups which is really nice. Highly recommend! As I always mentioned in my reviews when relevant, going here supports a small, local, minority owned business. (these types of companies really need our business now more than chain restaurants do).

Worst Rogan joash ever! They gave us lamb curry and called it rogan joash and then insisted that this is correct recipe. I have lived all my life in Kashmir and there are many good places where you can find good rogan joash in boston. Don’t order Rogan joash here.

Upscale Indian Punjabi restaurant in Arlington Ambiance: it was super pleasant. We sat by the window although there were some appealing seats towards the center. The place has a calming atmosphere good for an evening out. Service: the servers are friendly and they are quick to respond. The food and drinks were brought to us promptly. Food and drinks: pre-pandemic times when I visited Punjab, I really liked the Indian cocktails they had. I was disappointed to hear that they weren't served anymore considering that was the reason I picked the place for dinner that night. The rest of the food was quite delicious and we enjoyed dining there. Veggie: they have plenty of vegetarian options and I would highly recommend if you are vegetarian!

I was expecting delicious northern indian/punjab curries that were flavorful, instead I was greeted with not so yummy curries and also not very thick or rich. I have had much better ones. I am not sure why it’s even 4.4 on Googlereviews. Price was comparatively ok given that it comes with basmati rice. We ordered hot lamb korma and hot lamb curry but both of them are not spicy. We are really quite disappointed.

Great in every way. Food was amazing, service was top notch. Even has a large window where you can see the naan being made.

The service is consistently slow on a friday night ( reservation for 4 people was for 7pm). We had to repeatedly seek the attention of waiters and waiting for over an hour to receive our food. Lack of kid-friendly options: Punjab doesn't offer suitable menu items for children who can't tolerate spicy dishes. Even when asking for suggestions, the waitstaff couldn't provide any guidance in this regard. I'm absolutely not asking for mac and cheese, burger and fries, but would be great to have options without pepper in it. Our bill wasn't correct. The order was initially charged from a different, cheaper table. The error was rectified only after it was brought to their attention I't wasn't our first time eating at Punjab, but the issues above are consistent.
