We were looking for something different to try on a Friday night and stumbled on this little gem via menu pages. Two of us opted for the Halloween special set menu in Punjab balti.The food description on menu was really according to the festival and they also put some Halloween decorations in the restaurant and food itself was also of a very high quality and generously portioned. I went for set menu and my partner choose regular menu. The dishes on set menu was absolutely different then their regular menu. In particular the food was very high quality and generously portioned. was tremendous value for money for 4 course meal at 29.95 and the members of staff were always attentive and polite, even agreeing to swap one of the dishes in the set menu for another. It's a little off the beaten track but that is no bad thing. This is by far the best Indian restaurant in Dublin 6 and I will definitely be heading back soon to try their next festival menu. Visited on: 16 November 2008 Posted By: Malika Being a big fan of Indian cuisine... Being a big fan of Indian cuisine I was delighted to discover this restaurant, the food is to die for! I also discovered that I haven't been eating true Indian food until now in fact as so many meals in various restaurants in the past ended in disappointment with bland generic sauces which made the prawn dish taste practically the same as the chicken dish with poor quality ingredients & lack of creativity! Here the food was fresh, vibrant, affordable & with extremely generous portions. With a huge variety of really interesting dishes I felt spoilt for choice & could very easily become a veggie, such was the enticing selection there alone! Thankfully I succumbed to the prawns & savored what has to be the nicest most mouth watering biggest prawns ever! The rice was cooked to perfection & a side of salad was a crunchy & refreshing contrast to what has to be the best Indian food I have ever tasted! The staff were really helpful in assisting with recommended dishes & wines & made time to ensure we were content throughout our meal - without fussing over us! There was a large group also dining there & we all received equal attention. With a very nice subtle relaxing decor, it made for a really lovely overall experience & I will definitely be entering it into my little black book! It's almost too nice a place to share but how could I deny everyone else such pleasure? Besides, with prawns as huge as those there's more than enough to go round! Visited on: 03 October 2008 Posted By: Lenny We really enjoyed our meal at the Punjab ... We really enjoyed our meal at the Punjab and thought it excellent value at €14.95 including a glass of really acceptable wine. The service was very friendly and efficient and the atmosphere very pleasant. We had a potato starter plus a minced lamb starter, both presented beautifully and very tasty. The chicken Balti was a bit bland, but the rice the best I've eaten in an Indian restaurant - fresh, fluffy and perfectly cooked. The Rogan Gosh was really good. On a previous visit we had the tandoori fish, which was delicious. We will definately be returning yet again!
