We were greeted by the nice waitress and they took our order right away. Very kind people. The food was amazing. Every bite was very, very, very delicious. My sister and I could not stop saying "mmm" after every bite. Seriously!! EAT HERE! MUST TRY! read more

Update: They have admitted the mistake. I was refunded for my order and made me another correct one. ******** I have ordered vegetable biryani and I made sure multiple times to remind them to make it without cheese or any milk ingredient for health purposes. The lady said yes of course we will make it for you without cheese. Before I got the food, she took it to the back to check if there any cheese added. It took her a while and that makes me think she found the cheese and she removed it. When she gave me the order, she confirmed there was no cheese added. I left. While I start eating, I saw a cheese crumble so I start looking closely. Unfortunately it was made with cheese and she lied. This place don't care about customers health. Very disrespectful read more

Great food and service, my mom left her purse there and the owners personally brought it a town over to return it. I recommend this restaurant if you're in Livingston and want curry or biryani. read more

Very good food! Freshly made. We were group of 15 , very respectful staff, helped us in every way. They served us hot chappatis,, hot and fresh vegetarian food. read more

We've ordered for pick-up several times and have always been so full of flavor. But the last time it tasted watered down and lacked flavor. We ordered garlic Naan as usual but it seemed to be just plain Naan, as we didn't see not one hint of garlic. Sad to say we will not continue to order from here in the future. read more

The food was well marinated. I just got the tandoori chicken, was very good. I've had a few other items from this restaurant in the past, very appetizing. The lady that took my to go order was very nice. read more

Samosas are love them. Was gonna make them myself, but don't think I can match these

Good food, very quiet at the time I was there, and delicious sweets to take home with me. A good travel stop for me and I will stamp here again. read more

I would like to update my review on this place and give it 0 stars!!! Purchased 2lbs of sweets and found a hair cooked into one of the sweets. Called the place and they were concerned about what type of sweet it was that had the hair.. but in no way gave a dam about customer service didnt say sorry or nothing. No customer service skills for crap!!! read more

Friendly service. The food was delicious! Great amount of spices. Washed down with mango lassi. I can't recommend anything because everything was an explosion in my mouth! read more

Love the potato and pea samosas. Excellent!!!! My picky eater loves to eat there. Food is great and authenic :) :)

Love Punjab Sweets! Never had a bad meal here, excellent food. We drive from Atwater to get food from here and it's definitely worth it. read more

best Indian food I've tried in the area , the lady that works in the front is supper nice and welcoming. Best experience I've had definitely! Go check them of if your ever in the mood for some delicious Indian food read more

Worth the wait! Kind service, great desserts. I would love to come back some day :)

We stopped here for a quick lunch on the way back from Merced. The place is a tiny hole in the wall place and can be easily missed. The food came out all fresh and very flavorful. Also great assortment of Indian sweets and each one was fresh and our family loved them once we brought some home. Taking 1 star off for very little to no AC and flies coming in and out every time the front door opened. ***no flies were on sweets! Sweets were kept in a cooler/display case with air tight doors*** will definitely be back but next time may just order to go like all the other orders we saw being picked up. read more

Best Palak Paneer I have had in 20+ years. Reminded me of my days in Amritsar.

Amazing food, probably some of the freshest tasting Indian food I've ever had. Highly recommend

One of the best places for Indian food in California. They have the best Manchurian and butter chicken. Typical Indian home cooked food. The owner "uncle ji" was very nice and treated us not as customers but as family. And ya do ask for phulka " Indian home style Roti". Desi guy says go for it. read more

Five Rivers wasn't open on Tuesday... so I gave it a go. The front door was locked which I guess is a thing since when I found the side door and came in everyone looked at me like "you idiot.. wrong door dude" lol Sadly the food did not live up to my expectations of what Butter Chicken and Chicken Masala. Gravy/sauce was thin and soupy and one of the dishes separated on my short drive home. Nobody wants to dip their Naan in straight oil. Flavors were good however so perhaps this was just a fluke. read more

The food is fantastic. It's served family style. Everything is delicious . The butter chicken incredible. Everything on their menu is delicious. When we want good Indian food we go there . read more

This restaurant serves authentic Indian food of outstanding quality. The restaurant personnel are friendly and are dedicated to making sure that their customers have a satisfactory dining experience. Recommended. read more

Worth the wait! Order ahead of time average wait time for your food pick up depending on what you get is 30-40mins. I love this place their food is always amazing good and the flavor oh the flavor is chef kiss. I definitely recommend this place over and over again! Sorry no picture my food is half ways gone by the time I remembered to write this review :) read more

Stopped here on my way to Yosemite when my son had a craving for Indian food. Highlight was the butter chicken, but everything was tasty. Service was friendly, I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

The food is great! They offer generous portions and the spicy curry offers just enough kick without being overwhelmingly hot. If your'e looking for good Indian food this place deserves your business. read more

Good food, good service! Had the chicken tika masala and butter chicken, rice and nan. Its the only indian food ive had to date that has not upset my stomach! Not too greasy or oily. Amazing flavor! read more

Punjabi Sweets is a fine hole in the wall restaurant. Their food is as close to authentic Indian cuisine as you can find. The establishment is not very big, but they are more than willing to accommodate customers upon arrival. Service is friendly and prompt. The naan bread is great. read more

Just had dinner here last week. It has to be the best Indian food I've ever had. Way better than Taste of Little India. Had the Butter chicken, a lighter creamy sauce, it was excellent. Chicken Tikka Masala had just the right amount of spices and tender. Two chicken dishes, but very different. Mixed Vegetables were awesome. Garlic naan is to die for, perfect. Very reasonably priced for the quality. I would eat this every day. read more

Punjab Sweets and Restaurant - Take out menu - Indian Near Me - Livingston, California

Thank you Yelp-- you, Jonathan and Victoria, convinced me to try this place out. Taste of Little India is our standby, but we wanted to try something different, so we drove out to Livingstone. We had their Mattar Paneer, Lamb Curry, plain Naan, and desserts. However, before we get to the food, some notes on the ambience & decor: 1) This place sort of has a deli-ambience, which makes it perfect for lunch, but a bit awkward for a sit-down dinner. You order at the counter, even for a sit-down dinner, then the food is brought to you. If you're drinking water, have it bottled (it's Livingstone). Better yet, have a mango or lychee nectar drink, or an Indian beer. 2) The music player is broken, or the cd they play skips, or something. Either turn it off or fix it, please. :D 3) This is for people who love Indian food and/or who are a bit adventurous. If you are picky about service, about decorum, about typical U.S. portions, you might be unhappy here. So, we walk in, go to the counter, and order what we want. Note: dishes do not automatically come with rice and Naan unless they mention rice in the dish description. The owner/guy at the counter carefully wrote out our order, though I think he's still a bit nervous with English-- he was very warm and friendly with those who spoke Punjab, though he did become friendlier towards us over time. We sit and wait, listening to the music come in and out. I'm getting nervous. But then the food comes out in beautiful copper (?) bowls and a basket of perfectly crispy naan appears. The sauce that the Mattar Paneer is in is DELICIOUS, as is the cheese. YUMMMM. The lamb in the lamb curry is PERFECTLY cooked-tender, juicy, flavorful. The sauce is spicy and GOOD. I did wish that I had ordered some yogurt, just to try. If we had been eating with one more person, I would have liked to have some rice. After eating up, I approached the dessert display. They have a copious selection, and the person working there generously allowed me to try whatever I wanted. Some were syrupy-sweet (as they are supposed to be), others were light and crispy-gooey, and I definitely got a sugar high. I bought several pieces of "sweets" (5 or 6?), and combined with juice, bottled water, and our dinner for two, I paid less than $30. If it were a perfect world, I would recommend fixing the music, maybe cleaning the chairs and table area a bit more to help freshen things up, and I might even put a candle or 2 on the tables during dinner time. We weren't too put off by the neighborhood drunk sitting nearby-- is he a regular? Not sure. But maybe if the TV had a movie playing, he could have stared at that and not at us-- but that's ok. He wasn't menacing. :D read more

This is certainly my favorite Indian place in the Merced area. Each time I have gone there (and that is at least 8 in my 4 months of living here), I have been pleasantly surprised. The fish pakora is wonderful! The batter seems like it has a different type of flour and a nice spice to it. The goat has nice large pieces in it, as opposed to most places that have just boney chunks with little bits of meat. The lamb has been a winner in each of the dishes I have had it in and the naan is great. My recommendation is the onion kulcha, made spicy and with wheat flour. The food comes very quickly considering that everything (including the bread) is made fresh. Besides, don't miss the white transparent sweet (I have no idea what it is called), that is shaped like a log while you wait. If you are in the area (or even 20-30 minutes out), give this place a try, you will not regret it!! read more

Omg...omg... this place is awesome. The food is so freakin' delicious. I had the chicken vindaloo (spicy) it was perfect. My husband got the butter chicken and that was delicious too. We also got the chicken mixed with bell peppers and onion on a skillet and that was amazing also. Nothing we ordered wasn't delicious. The customers service was great (family owned and run). Everyone's was polite and sweet and answered any questions we had. Definitely recommending this place to everyone. It really in the middle of Livingston but so worth the drive . read more

Really good food, with generous portions. Only problem is the customer service for take out. Everything is so abrupt I don't even get a thank you or goodbye. read more

We have been regulars here since 2014. We have tried most of their vegetarian dishes and they are all top notch. Will strongly recommend this place if you are around. Great prices too. Probably reducing their profit margin and serving quality food read more

I don't know if they are under new owners but this time my food was salty!! I had the fish pakora and the butter chicken and both dishes were salty!! Even my sister agreed. So I don't know what's going on. I don't recognize anyone currently working there. The lady at the front her English is very limited. When I placed my order over the phone the only thing she said was "how many" and I would just tell her a number and what dish!! I guess that works!! Still the best Indian food around here. read more

I come in to order my food tandoori chicken . 2 orders of it , i place my order and he says its gonna be a while so i take off to get drinks and when i get back he then tells me they are all out of tandoori chicken after i have been waiting for over 20 minutes. So he then suggests that i try a different dish . A lil disappointed for sure. Not sure if i will be back . Service is slow also read more

Punjab Sweets and Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Livingston, California

So we came from Yuba City to visit family and if you don't know where that's at, it's two and half hours away. We came to eat our traditional Punjabi style food but us not knowing how this restaurant runs, we suggested to give it a try. That was the worst mistake we made in Livingston and I suggest nobody to ever go there again. They ripped us off and gave us not even close to a quarter of a pound and not only that, they had the worst customer service ever. If I would give any advice, I would say don't waste your time here. read more

Best service in all of Livingston. I feel at home every time I visit the restaurant because of Mrs. Kaur who is the owner of the restaurant but also takes on the role of chef impeccably. Her sarson-da-saga and chicken 65 is to-die-for! The ambience is clean and the food is always hot and piping just the way you want it. The staff there know how to not get in your way while making sure they are available the minute you need them. All this at a price you can afford. I am a satisfied and regular customer and I would recommend everyone try the place at least once. read more

Love this place! Shrimp in curry sauce, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, and garlic naan. Can't go wrong with it! Highly recommend it but don't come here if you're in a rush as it takes a little time for food to be prepared but worth it. read more
