Great quality north Indian delicacies. Good service, nice staff, very nice taste and variety menu. All the curries and appetizers are great. The place is close to the ontario mall and near the highway exit making it a good spot to have dinner after a long day shopping.

I love what they’ve done with the place. The bathroom is clean. The reason I gave it a 4 star is because they are a little bit overpriced. We ordered their Lamb curry, Tikka masala, Shrimp vindaloo and the mango Lassi. They don’t taste extraordinary and they don’t come with rice! So that’s a 3 star for the food. Mango Lassi doesn’t taste much and it’s pricey. I am sad they don’t really meet my expectations set by Punjab Palace. The place looks great and modernized though. Still debating whether to go back to this restaurant.

We met friends here for dinner. We had met the same friends here many years before when it was under a different management. The First thing we asked the server was whether we could order very mildly spiced plates. Although the answer was “sure”, It was evident that that wasn’t possible. The food was very delicious but way too hot for some of our palates. We ate well and sipped water, which was a bit scarce for our needs. But the atmosphere was pleasant and we enjoyed our time with friends. It was a very clean and neatly kept dining room with a contemporary flair.

I always say I’m going to take pictures but I always forget when my good arrives. The place is super clean always smells like they’ve just moped and wiped the tables down. We have never gone for dinner so I don’t know if they get really busy around that time. Lunch time is usually a little slower. Food is always great. The garlic naan here is the best I’ve ever had. The butter chicken is amazing. The service is a little lacking. But not terrible

Food was yummy, although service was a little slow given that the restaurant was almost empty. Little on expensive side. We’re new to the area & have loved the food from this restaurant chain- Kaju khoya curry is a must try btw.

I love Indian food, and I wanted Indian food for my birthday. This was some of the best Indian food I have had in a while. Pricey, but WORTH every penny. We are a family of 5. Our bill was $185 because we spared no expense. Each of us ordered what we wanted then shared. Super fresh, and super flavorful. The chana masala was a little too salty would by my only complaint. We brought back quite a bit of left overs home to eat later on.
