I stopped by for a quick lunch and was presented with a lunch menu, I choose Keema Egg Matar, which is minced chicken with a sliced hard boiled egg, green peas and an aromatic curry. After ordering, I was presented with a small bowl of green pea soup, which was nice. Then a forgettable side salad before my meal arrived. When my order arrived, the curry tased wonderful and I received a bowl of white rice. I don't think it was basmati rice but it was served hot and fluffy. I also received a large pita bread heated on the grill. This was an unexpected treat for a casual lunch at a place I've never been before. The atmosphere is authentic Indian, and felt warm and welcoming. I liked my experience and I will remember this as a spot to return to again. read more

Punjab Fine Indian - This is the lunch menu - Indian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

We came here for lunch. They're located in a corner of the Boca Inn on the west side of Federal Highway. It is a separate restaurant with its own entrance and much larger inside than anticipated. Parking is around the perimeter of the building. There was only one other table occupied when we were there. The limited lunch menu is quite reasonably priced. Of the 11 entrees, only 4 had some sort of meat; the others were vegetarian. We both chose the lamb curry, mild spice. This was a dollar extra. All meals include soup, salad, naan and rice. The lentil soup was very good. It was brought out even before we ordered. A single plate of salad came next. We didn't realize it was to be shared. It was basically a plate of iceberg, a tomato slice and a few cucumber slices with Italian dressing. Then a basket with nicely charred plain naan bread. Finally a larger plate of rice to share and our entrees of lamb curry. The lamb meat was very tender although there wasn't that much of it. There was a lot of sauce. The mild was truly so -- pretty bland but pleasant. I'm glad we came to check them out. The restaurant had been bookmarked on my Yelp app quite sometime ago. Now I know. read more

We found this place and stopped in for lunch. It is in what used to be the attached hotel dining room. We were greeted and seated with menus and water. We ordered from the available lunch specials which included a hot Lentil soup and a small salad to share. We each ordered the Lamb curry. The lamb cubes were tender and the curry had a good flavor and not spicy, as we requested. The accompanying Nan bread was great! read more

First visit. Friday 6:00 PM. We were only the second table dining so the ambiance was very quiet. Service very helpful and friendly. We had the butter chicken and an order of Aloo Gohbi. These came with a large bowl of rice. We also had an order or Puri. All excellent. I would skip the Variety Tray appetizer and be more selective. We didn't particularly enjoy it. Bottom line: A pleasant venue. Not outstanding but a good value. The restaurant is part of the Boca Inn motel. Easy parking. read more

Excellent cuisine ambience very Indian food 5 star they do all the preparation and we sit and order appetizers

Ambiance of this place is beautiful, did you know the art was imported from India? And the food here is amazing! Don't skip on their chutneys, and the garlic Naan! the mango chutney is like a dessert (so good) ! But my favorite is the red spicy one (I forget what it was called, but they need to jar it and sell it bulk!)! We also had the special variety tray, their chicken is so tender and juicy and so was the lamb! The Paneer Tikka Masalas was for fainting! I was very impressed! Tastes like I was eating my friend's grandmas cooking! Everything is so authentic and cooked to perfection! read more

Been years since we visited this place. Was meeting some friends and thought we would give it a shot again. Sadly it is very dated and smells musty. It's been here for a very long time and it really needs updated and cleaned up. The staff are extremely nice. But nice doesn't help when it comes to feeling great about a night out with loved ones. Over all it made our group uncomfortable and not sure if the front of house wasn't that clean to how the kitchen would be. So sadly we all will not be headed to this place anymore. It's a great location and with so many other Indian food available around this isn't our place. Hopefully they will make some changes and it will benefit them read more

We stopped in for lunch, which was a full meal for only $11. Great service and vey clean restaurant. We got the lamb curry and chicken tandoori. Both dishes were quite good and it was nice to have a King Fisher beer. Only reason we didn't rate it a 5 was because of the mildew smell in the restaurant. read more

The place doesn't look like much on the outside but is actually quite nice, large and clean on the inside, as well as nicely decorated to suit the Indian theme. Prices are moderate and they have a lunch combo for $10.95 pp and you get more than you can eat. Now for why I gave them 3 s: - The waiter didn't even say hello- handed us the limited lunch menus and left - Gave us water and never asked us if we would like anything else, had to specifically request a drinks menu and had to flag him down to place drinks orders. - The waiter wore a long sleeve shirt with the wrist parts turned up and flared out. It dragged into my cup and when I asked for a new glass of water cause his sleeve went in it- well you'd swear I cursed at him On top of all that- the food was bland read more

Punjab Fine Indian - Veggie curry, naan etc - Indian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Great food!!! Authentic and tasty my fiancé and I love ordering a take out. Chicken tikka masala is very tasty.

Ambience is pleasant; restaurant very clean. A brand new menu and possibly a new cook as well. Our previous visits were always greeted by very good food. So we returned with a guest assuming we'd be impressing him with good food. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. One order of shrimp was inedible; unable to be cut. Another had chicken which wasn't chewable. The third enjoyed his meal so shared with us. The little condiments were fine but that doesn't constitute a meal. We won't be hurrying back. read more

Punjab is amazing. Best Indian food in east Boca. Staff is super accommodating. You are missing out if you don't eat here!! We always get take out and it's beyond delicious. read more

Went with a very large party and they were very accommodating! Service was attentive and fast! I do feel like the tandoori chicken and shrimp were a bit over cooked , as was the bottom of the naan. They do have a full bar which is a plus. read more

Punjab Fine Indian - a variety of food on a table - Indian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I haven't been to Punjab restaurant in a few years and I had fond memories of my experiences there. That's changed, a lot. This restaurant is a shadow of itself. The waiter brings a small bowl of Chinese noodles and tamarind sauce, the shocked look on my face. What happened to the papadam ? Now they charge for papadam and think that Chinese noodles is an adequate replacement ? The veg somosa was good. Crunchy shell stuffed with well mashed tators and peas. I ordered the papadam and it was ok. Very lightly cooked, but still tasty. The entrees were hideous. Shrimp masala and butter chicken. The chicken was dry like shoe leather and the shrimp were so over cooked and rubbery my mom couldn't even chew them. The garlic naan was good and the sauces were also good. The rice, was a soggy, flavorless pile of yuck. Long gone is the saffron flavor or coloring. All in all the experience was pretty bad and I most certainly won't be back. Good luck if you try Punjab restaurant. read more

Good fud and I will be back for sure and more. Fantastic! Reminds me when I visited India and Pakistan.

Lunch Special Review. Food was good, it was like a chicken masala. Good and spicy! Great Naan, and rice. Shame about the country club musty smell in the restaurant. A great price at $8.95! Love this place, but not a 5*. read more

Fantastic. I fine establishment. PJ has weathered the shifting winds of cultural change to remain a cornerstone stone of reliable and delicious Indian fare in the city of Boca Raton. read more

Decent Indian food and good naan. This location is part of a hotel. Plenty of parking if needed. Had dinner from here the other night. We got several garlic, butter, and Kashmiri naan. We also got chicken tikka, korma, vindaloo, and lamb madras. The naan was all very good. The Kashmiri naan was a good sweet mixture of fruit and nuts. For the main dishes, they gave us a giant naan bag filled with rice. The entrees were all decent. The sag panir was excellent. No other flavor really struck me as anything above and beyond but this place is solid. Good portions of meat and a lot of sauce. They have several spice levels, but even the hot wasn't very hot. read more

The Chicken curry lunch special here is the best. Comes with naan bread included. Very authentic place. Just wish there was bit more chicken included in the special. Try this place out read more

I went here for nostalgia's sake since my son started going to school around here. It brought back memories of college and business lunch dates. Their lunch menu is honestly a little dated when compared to the other Indian options that are now available in Boca. They used to be the only game in town, but there have been a number of Indian options, one being in the plaza right across the street that has an award winning location in Coral Springs. Still, the lunch special does provide a good value. For $12 you get dal, salad, naan, and an entree. I feel the meats were a little on the tough side. The lamb was really tough and the chicken in the curry was breast meat so it was a little on the drier side when compared to some other places that use dark meat. I also feel like now that Florida food culture has changed and people have broadened their food vocabulary, people expect mainstays like butter chicken, korma, and saag paneer rather than "curry" on the menu. The mango lassis were phenomenal. Naan had a good char but was undercooked and doughy on the inside. The service was decent. I'd hate to be the kick in the ass here, but they need to make a change because someone just opened one of the best Indian lunch places down the street. Maybe a lunch buffet with a few novel items would help. read more

Punjab's Rogan Josh Lamb is a real treat! The lamb is super tender and the sauce is just right - spicy and full of flavor. Definitely a must-try! read more

Ate here twice & still didn't like it.Totally disappointed Food didn't taste fresh. I'm totally addicted to Taj express it's my go to place

Punjab Fine Indian has served up delicious and traditional Indian cuisine to Boca Raton for 35 years. It's located next to the Boca Inn on Federal which has less than stellar reviews and is not visually appealing from the outside. I truly believe being located by the Boca Inn may deter possible customers but I advise you to not judge a book by its cover. Punjab has plenty of parking on its side of the building and it just got comfortable new chairs that you would expect to find in someone's dining room. The dining room is beautifully decorated and lavish. My sister discovered Punjab a few years ago and introduced me to it. I love their Chicken Tiki Masala and butter Naan Bread. All dishes come with rice and when you sit down, some kind of Indian crips with mango chutney is served. They do serve beer and wine if you're in the mood. The owner and his wife are always there. The owner actually waited on us the other evening. This business is their pride and joy, rightfully so. read more

We went to Punjab tonight and had a wonderful experience! Superb food and courteous service. Started our meal with vegetable samosa appetizers which were delicious. For our entrees, we ordered the murg (chicken) saag, paneer tikka masala, and cheese naan bread. Everything was perfectly seasoned and tasted so very good! Some of the best Indian food we've had. We are from out of town and make it a point to dine at Punjab when we're in Boca Raton. Can't wait to return! Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys great tasting Indian food! Restaurant is located adjacent to the Boca Inn on U.S. 1. read more

Customer service was good Samosa was very bland and covering was not good. Papdi chaat was too sweet and bland. It only had yogurt and tamarind chutney. Saag paneer and gobi paratha were good. read more

The Tandoori chicken here is fire!!!! It is so tasty, the flavors really bring you to a place of happiness. The Mango lassi is also so delicious, you crave it during the week. Thanks Boca for having a delicious Indian restaurant. This restaurant is connected to a hotel in East Boca. It has takeout and dine-in. It also has fun Indian decor inside. Thank you for a delicious meal with 5 satisfied bellies! read more

If you ever have a chance to visit India or Pakistan, you will discover some of the best desi food is in simplistic settings. You will enjoy roadside street food on carts consisted of chaat (potato/chickpea snack) , dahi baraye(yogurt dumplings with various toppings),samosas (fried savory pastry with veggies or meat) etc. So, when I go to Desi (Indo/Pak) restaurants in the U.S. I do not expect much with ambience but focus on yummy savory food with good quality ingredients. Dining at Punjab restaurant, you are definitely not eating at The Oberoi Amarvilas (considered the Ritz Carlton near the Taj Mahal in India). However, you will find a painting of the Taj Mahal and other famous places in India throughout the restaurant. Majority of the time, I have gone for the lunch specials. You can not beat the price in Boca, paying only 8 dollars for my favorite palak paneer (spinach and cheese) with some toasty hot naan right out of the tandoor (type of oven)... It does come with rice as well, which I always decline since the naan is so much better and tastier. Try the onion/tomato sauce with the entree, it's nice and tangy. Oh, and it also comes with lentil soup to start off with. Yikes, so much food but yet so good. One of the best lunch deals around town for sure!!! Dinner it's a different story, you might feel the prices are almost three times as much and the ambience is not there. If you do go for dinner I will recommend something which is not on the menu but is a fantastic appetizer. Try their chaat papri with dahi (yogurt) . It reminds me of some yummy street-side carts. They put some yummy sauces on top of it with bits of samosas pieces. It's delicious. They are in the middle of renovating the entire place but still open. Maybe by next month there might be no more smell of masalas (spices) and other odor. Try the food, it will remind you of some authentic punjabi dishes!!! read more

I have been ordering from you for years. I ordered our standard order tonight ans it was a total disappointment. The portions are half the size as usual and the lamb in the Korma was cooked for so long it was as dry as jerky. Im not ordering from here again. read more

A must try! The ambience is low-key romantic. Ambient lighting and family style seating. Big parties are definitely welcome here. The staff was attentive without being overbearing. The food was AMAZING!! There were 9 in our party and everything we ordered tasted well prepared and impeccably seasoned. The variety appetizer platter was a great way to sample several items at once. read more

Excellent lunch menu, price and flavor makes it excellent. The portion look small, but it's very filling. The naan was smashed into a bag and a little burnt. Even so, the flavor was awesome. I tried the Dal with mild spicy and I didn't love it. Too spicy for me. My friend had the Aloo Matar Tamatar, didn't love it either. We both tried something different instead of our regular orders. We enjoyed our meals, but weren't blown away. So it's a matter of preference. The price is $8.95 and if you eat in you get soup or salad too. We had take out, but the restaurant is beautiful in an plaza with very limited parking. read more

Just from Samosa and Papadam already give 5 stars... American-Bangladeshis give Punjab a try
