Miss L.
I always feel great after eating here! (You know sometimes after eating Indian food from some places, you feel kinda sick afterwards?). I’ve come here many times and never had a problem!

The food was bland and the “spicy” was not spicy at all. It’s like they know the people here don’t know what real Indian food tastes like and went for the bare minimum. It was watered down. People were nice though.

Super delicious and great portions for the cost. I got the sag paneer and naan and absolutely loved it! I definitely will be back! The indoor seating is a little small but there is a super cute outdoor patio seating area.

Probably super busy lunch place – but we went for dinner and it was very quiet. Good thing, because we were not sure what we wanted to order. A person in line looked at me and laughed but then helped me to order something and the owner helped too.

Kinda bland, ok taste. Requested onion/lemon and pickle, and they gave it. Lunch specials are pre-cooked, with choice of meat and veg. Overall good service, mediocre food.

Best Indian place in Miramar – authentically delicious, fresh, and affordable!! My husband and I are regulars to this restaurant weekly, every single dish is our favorite, you’ll never be disappointed coming here!!

Although we remember liking this place once upon a time, the food just fails to impress in the recent times we’ve been back. The Kadai dishes are not as good as we remember. The prices have also increased by quite a lot. Next time, we should explore other local Indian joints and skip this one.

The lunch special is cheap and they had a good amount of seating both inside and outside. I liked the flavor of the butter chicken and the tikka masala chicken curries. The only bad part is that the chickens were a bit rough and dry. But, the garlic naan and the curry made up for that.

4 stars only for interior ambiance. The outside ambiance was very nice and unique, but the interior was okay. I would suggest improving the interior. The food was authentic Punjabi and of good quality. I would suggest anyone try outdoor seating to make the best use of the visit. Inside is okay if outdoor seating is not available.

Fresh made Naan, wonderful chicken dishes, excellent basmati rice, channa masala. Best takeout Indian style food I have tried. I hate rating service based on our American ideals, but like someone once told me about “foreign food”, don’t go to the perfect 5 star restaurants, the service should be below our standards but the food will be a legit 5 at a 3.5-4 star. This was true here at Punjabi Tandoor. Most excellent. I even tried the Raita and loved it too.
