DESCRIPTION: A Hindu restaurant offering a considerable number of interesting non-standard dishes. Somewhat more expensive than the standard Indian restaurant, but worth it.

DESCRIPTION: The best Indian Restaurant in Waltham, and the best of the several in Boston that we tried. We moved an hour and a half away a couple of years ago, but still go back periodically to stock up on my freezer stash of chicken tikka masala.

Sad Story Here
DESCRIPTION: Thought this place was great until tonight. They added 20% to my take out order after I signed the receipt. Noticed it on my online banking account at home. Really felt duped by them and I always thought they were decent.

Perfection
DESCRIPTION: I love this restaurant. It is intimate and the decor is perfect. The food is some of the best Indian food I have had in the greater Boston area. I go there regularly and recommend it at every opportunity!

Fabulous Indian Food
DESCRIPTION: Wow, Punjab has been great from the start. My husband and I have tried many Indian restaurants and Punjab is one of our top 3. We usually opt for takeout. I've only eaten there twice. One time the service and staff were great. The first time the wait staff was spotty. There were several mistakes and not all dishes ordered were delivered at the right time, even after several inquiries.

I loved every bite
DESCRIPTION: This is my favorite Indian Restaurant. We went there last Thanksgiving (my 89 year old mother has Alzheimers and loves lamb and not turkey) and went three weeks ago and are off for our Thanksgiving Day meal!!! I love it. They treat you like royalty and do anything to please you.

Best in Boston
DESCRIPTION: I'm Indian and live in the Boston area and am *very particular* when it comes to restaurants (especially Indian ones). Having tried lots of Indian restaurants in and around Boston, I tell all my non-Indian friends that Punjab in Arlington is the best Indian restaurant in and around Boston. I'll venture to say that it's one of the best I've eaten at here in the US. A note to the uninitiated: Most Indian restaurants in the US typically specialize in Punjabi cuisine (Punjab being a northwestern state in India) and is not (and should not) be considered to be representative of Indian cuisine. I do see a lot more South Indian vegetarian restaurants nowadays too. However, there is so much more variety in Indian cuisine that is regional and worth exploring if you get the chance.
