Food is very Authentic Punjabi cuisine. This is the real deal Punjab India representing. Accredited by my husband who is Punjabi. We drove 39 minutes to go and try the food there on my sister recommendation and it didn't disappoint. Love the taste we took some home too. Goat is tasty the chai te is very good the only thing that I missed was the Cardomomo I didn't taste it in the te. The waitress was very Sweet and pleasant. I will be back again. I loved the place was very clean I felt so safe to eat there. Thank you read more

I've tried Indian cuisine from Seattle to Chicago and Los Angeles to Miami, and Punjabi Indian Cuisine is, without a doubt, the best! As a vegan, I'm thrilled to find such a wide variety of authentic, plant-based options that truly capture the rich flavors of India. The dishes are thoughtfully prepared, from the perfectly spiced chana masala to the creamy, dairy-free coconut curry. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the exceptional service from the owner, who goes above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful dining experience. The warm and inviting atmosphere adds to the charm, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. If you're looking for a vegan-friendly restaurant with genuinely authentic Indian food, incredible service, and a delightful ambiance, this is it! read more

Pakoras we're not hot nor crispy. Just soggy. Goat curry was not very rich or flavorful. Beautiful mural on the wall. Very loud annoying music. read more

I stayed in Tijuana a couple of nights so I was happy to find this place with vegetarian options. The restaurant seems to be South Asian owned and the food I ordered was delicious. The ambiance was casual and quaint. My experience with the service was a bit odd for me, though. The main person who attended me (might have been the owner or manager) didn't seem too approachable or inviting. He was rather short to answer the few questions I asked about items on the menu, so I felt rushed or like I was an inconvenience of some sort. Also, even though I spoke in Spanish (I am native speaker), he would answer me in English, which felt odd since I was in Mexico (and he would speak to other workers in Spanish). I imagine the restaurant caters to many English speaking Americans as TJ is by the US/Mexico border, so this is probably not unusual, but this component felt odd as other restaurants in TJ do not automatically do this. Perhaps there was a cultural difference, but the service part could improve. read more

Had been craving Indian for a while and I got my fix. I have to say the samosas were good even better with the chutney, a little disappointed they weren't spicy though. As for the tikka masala it was the perfect amount of hot. You can pick how spicy you want it from a 1-10. I got the 5 and it was perfect! Highly recommend you guys trying this place out. read more

There is just one Indian restaurant in Tijuana. Fortunately, Punjabi Restaurant is very good! Located in an inconspicuous stripmall, this locally-popular place is a good choice for lunch or dinner, with a traditional menu full of tasty delights. Lots of people order take away. I had a late lunch at Punjabi last week. The Aloo Gobi Mater was delicious. Spicy by American standards, but delicious never-the-less. The food arrived fresh and hot, and I enjoyed every bite. The staff was pleasant but not overly engaged. That made the experience feel a bit more formal than it needed to be. But this is a minor complaint. I definitely will dine again at Punjabi in the future. read more

Excellent lunch special, portion size was great, tasty naan, and I enjoyed the curry.

Okay food, poor service! Waiter was very unfriendly and hardly paid any attention to us. One of our ordered plates didn't arrive until we were all finished eating!! The food is okay, but definitely not the best Indian food I've ever eaten. Naan was very thin and overcooked and dal was just okay. Butter chicken was good but seemed like a small portion. We won't be returning! read more

My husband and I had been craving Indian food but where in the heck were we going to find Indian food in Tijuana? I did a google search and low and behold Thai little gem popped up. I was so excited that we left and went straight to the restaurant only to be saddened because it was Monday and they are closed on Monday's. We didn't forget the little spot though and we came back! I'm so glad we did. Let's begin with the parking. It's a parking lot and it's paid parking. I think we paid 5 pesos or 6 pesos. That's like .25 cents or .30 cents. No big deal. There's ample parking all over the place and the restaurant shares the parking with other little places and also a big place called Sam's Club. It's like a little shopping center but the restaurant is right there out in the open. You won't miss it. As soon as we walked in I was snapping photos of the decor. It was absolutely super cool. I was digging the painted elephants and the wooden girl praying with the red dot in the middle of her forehead. The colors were beautiful and their was ample seating area. We chose a booth. The service was impeccable. The first waiter kept coming to the table asking if we were ready and I had to tell him it was our first time and I needed more time to look over the menu and that when we were ready I would call him over. They have specials but since it was my husbands first time experiencing an Indian cuisine I wanted him to really get the feel of it so I ordered 6 platters that we could pick at. Let me tell you, the food was DE-LICIOUS! The chicken tandory was soooo flavorful. I don't recall all the things that we ordered but I took plenty of photos. You MUST order the nan with your meal. Use it like a tortilla and soak up all the goodness. The nan is served a little different then in the states. In the states they give you the whole circle and a little basket with a few of them like that. Here they serve you ONE and they cut it like a quesadilla into 6 pieces. That's probably my only complaint. One nan for 25 pesos they they says is 6. Anyway, we just ordered another one. (The garlic nan is to die for). We had tons of left over food and without hesitation our waiter (who spoke English and Spanish) picked it up for us and even gave us complimentary chai tea on the house so that we could have the full authentic Indian experience. I could drink that chai in the bucket loads! It was AMAZING! Much different then Starbucks chai tea. I highly recommend this little spot. You can do the specials or spend a coin like we did and go all out and order the platters. read more

I love Indian food and trying new restaurants. Punjabi was nice because they offer all of the standard dishes with flavors slightly different than Indian food from California, USA. It's in a hip area of Tijuana that is well lit with plenty of parking. We ordered the Thali Vegetariano (vegetarian dinner) chicken tandoori, potato samosas, and masala chai. Everything was great. The interior is colorful, clean, and comfortable. It seats about 40. The staff was fast, friendly, and efficient. They speak many languages including English and Spanish. It's great to know where to find great Indian food in Baja. I highly recommend checking this restaurant out. read more

I guess I had posted to the old page.... I'm not a fan of Indian food because I have never even tried the food to become a fan! My aunt had her grand opening yesterday for this restaurant and let me tell you, this Indian restaurant is beautiful inside and out! Everything was simple yet gorgeous. And the food was amazing. I unfortunately can't recall the name of any of the dishes I tried but everything was amazing. I get no service over there (stupid T-Mobile service ) but I was too busy enjoying myself with friends and family to even ask lol. They even offer vegetarian dishes for those vegetarian people out there. You have to try this place! Great food, great service and not to far from the border. I will be back because the food is honestly amazing. read more

Amazing chicken curry fascinating place great service food and drink great amount of selection

Stopped by with a friend while on a short trip to Tijuana. The taxi drive from the border crossing took about 10 minutes around noon on a weekday. The service was friendly and prompt. The food (Chicken Tikka Masala, Gobi Paratha, Aloo Paratha and Chai) was outstanding. The Chicken Tikka Masala tasted different from most CTMs you get in the USA. The Parathas was stuffed just right and had a great balance of spices. The total for the 2 of us came to around $17, which I thought was very reasonable considering the quantity and quality of food. Highly recommended if you are looking for East Indian food in Tijuana. I will definitely be back. read more

This is an amazing Indian restaurant but not only the food is awesome but the owner Ramesh is such a great person. Gives your the personal visit and welcomes you with a great smile. The workers are so good too. Always there to provide the service. This was my first time and trust me, I will be brining my friends here soon. My 13 year old son is so fussy with his food but today he ate so much that I had to stop him. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants and loves to try authentic food. I would give it ten stars if they had the option. Love love love this place. read more

Awesome authentic Indian cuisine, wasn't expecting this in México, food was better then most of the locations I tried in San Francisco Bay Area, which is a big deal. Dishes I tried: baingan bharta, karahi chicken, mango lassi, palak paneer, garlic naan, all were authentic. Service was good, but there was not too much crowd ymmv. Decor was tasteful and place was clean. read more

To get such great Indian food in Tijuana was the least expected thing for us.The food was exceptionally delicious. LA has many Indian restaurants but this beats the taste of all. You get the feel of the best Indian food. The kadhai paneer and the kheer would definitely remind you of your moms food. A must visit if you come to Tijuana. I am back here to edit my review..if I could I would give 10stars to the owner..I went there after 8months and wanted to eat Punjabi curry( not on the menu)..The owner went out of his way to make curry for me..The curry was ready in less than half n hr n it was delicious...Always pleased to be here... read more

We had an absolutely stunning time at Punjabi Indian Cuisine. The restaurant is very quaint and cozy, beautifully decorated. We dined on a Sunday night, and there was plenty of room for our party of 11. The menu was full of great options, and I cannot wait to go back to try out more options. We had four dishes in total in addition to rice and garlic naan. Three were chicken dishes and one vegetarian. All three of the chicken dishes had very unique tastes from the others. That was a nice surprise. The chai tea was very smooth and tasty. Our kids all partook for their first time and loved it. The hospitality was just as warm as the chai. Mr. Kumar chatted with us for quite a long time. He shared with us his passion for the food, and we could taste and see the evidence of recipes that were passed down from his family. Mr. Kumar's two sons also showed up and were very friendly and kind. They helped us understand a bit more of Indian culture, which was very fascinating as they were happy to share. All around, such a great restaurant. We will be back on a regular basis, and look forward to the new location in April! read more

Tiny little restaurant with mind blowing flavor!! Every single bite was awesome. Definitely havent had this taste in any Indian restaurant in San Diego. Totally worth the journey across the border for a foodie. I just wish their menu was in both spanish and english. But its a simple menu so not too hard to figure it out. I hope we have something with this kind of finger licking flavor on the other side of the border closer to home. Ambience: 2*, Service 3*, Flavor 5* P.S: You can give their chai tea a miss. read more

Amazing food and great service! So happy they have an Indian restaurant in BC !!! And that it's delicious! Gracias por hacerlo posible!

I was expecting a lot from this place. Co-workers recommended me this place for a long time. Yes i like indian food. But this place is over expensive, food not too good. Small portions and high prices, just for myself it was like 400 pesos. Service was so so, took like 10 minutes to take my order, then another 15ish minutes to be served. I should have just gone to another place. I will not be coming back to this place. read more
