Every dish I order is exactly the flavor profile, the spice level, the everything I want it to be. I've eaten a lot of Indian food, but this place never misses. Favorites are the Cholay, Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken, Chicken 65, Pakoras, Chili cheese naan, and the veggie samosas, but I have never had anything less than tasty. Put the green chili chutney on everything. Only complaint is they used to have dessert options of gulab jamun or kheer, and I don't think they offer the kheer since dine-in cratered during Covid. Could be wrong, but it was delicious and I miss it. Love you Phulkari Punjabi!

Based off the number of five star reviews, I was excited for my food from Pink Garlic after a long…read moreday of doing a bakery crawl with friends. With all the sugar consumed that day, savory food was an urgent need for us. The spicier, the better. Overall, we found the experience to be disappointing. Our naan was barely toasted through, which mattered since we had ordered cheese naan. The rest of food (biryani and gobi manchurian) tasted bland. I'm a big fan of spicy food, but none of the dishes had the usual notes of toasted spices I associate with Indian food. Everything seemed to taste spicy for the sake of heat.

Extra kudos for bringing a free rice pudding to the table for us to try, it was amazing ;) For dine-in, they bring a payment processor to the table for checkout. The naans were fluffy and crispy, not gritty or burnt. Medium spice level on entrees is spicy, but not painful. Perfect. The tandoori chicken was absolutely phenomenal. Can't wait to try more dishes here!!

The older staffer seems more friendly and checked up on us. Ordered 2 dall soup, medium spice: Gobi Manchurian, Chana masala, dal tadka, butter chicken and mango chicken hot spice. 3 Naan and one rice with each main dish. $78.37 Gobi isn't crispy at all, soggy, it's okay. Not spicy. Heavy breading. The cauliflower falls out of some of the breading. The Daal soup is good, although quite watery. The mango and butter chicken sauce flavors are good, the spicy is definitely got a healthy kick. The chicken pieces are big chunks and they are dry and overcooked. The butter naan is good soft and billowy. The Chana and dal tadka tasted okay, although I did find either a white hair or white stringy lint in the Chana. I was told it might be onion or ginger. Some tandoori chicken is smoking and it's making us cough some. It's tickling our noses. We had to pay quickly and get out of there.

We agreed that this was the best Indian we've had in the area, by a mile. We ordered the meat samosas, paneer saag, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken biryani, garlic naan, garlic cheese naan, and mango lassi. For two, it was an obscene amount of food, but holy cow was it worth it (it all came out to ~$65). The samosas were crispy, hot, and delicious with excellent seasoning. When we added the mint chutney, it took it to a whole other level. The saag paneer was creamy and flavorful. The chicken tikka masala was spicy, creamy, and delicious, easily the best I've ever had. When the spice started to get to our heads, the mango lassi cooled things off, it was super refreshing. Naan was top tier. We made fried rice and added a fried egg to the biryani this morning and it made an awesome breakfast. 10/10, we will be back as our regular Indian spot!

Small dining area…read more The booths seats look worn down with black duct tape and could definitely use some reupholstery. The women's bathroom floor is quite slippery, easy to take a spill. Paper towel dispenser is not working either. Ordered two lentil soup (medium and spicy), Chana masala, butter chicken, veggie korma and Dharka Tal, all medium and a garlic chicken. $72.54 They charged us for Kirkland brand Alkaline water. The lentil soup is spicy, even for medium. It's tasty. I like the cilantro. Butter chicken, Chana masala and the Dharka Tal were good. The veggie korma was okay, some green beans that didn't work for this dish for me. The man behind the counter asked my husband if everything was okay after we got our soup. He asked my husband again how everything is after we got all of our main entrees. I forget that my opinion doesn't tend to matter at Indian restaurants at all. This is the second time in a month at an Indian restaurant that staff only asked my husband. The younger staffer asked us both how the spice level was and if we wanted any dessert. He looked us both in the eye too. He took our order and brought out our food to us. It's a shame that the more mature guy has no clue that I am the one that tends to pay the dinner bills out.

Keep seeing lots of folks picking up orders and double parking their cars in the driveway to come in and pick up their carry out orders. Ordered starter Gobi Manchurian, veggie samosa, 2 dal soup, Chana masala, Tarka daal, mushroom bhaji and tandoori chicken. $94.24 They gave us the crunchy thin Papadum. Be careful while eating that the seasoning on top doesn't flip up into your eyes, it did that to my husband. He flicked off the seasoning so it wouldn't do it again. The Papadum is good. There was a random empty water bottle at the table. Table top is peeling, needs a refinish. I would put the fly strip in a more discrete spot and not hang it in the vestibule behind the counter. The samosas are good, dough is nice and light, like a wonton and it's packed with potatoes, peas and corn, which is a bit odd. It's better with some chutney. The Gobi Manchurian tastes good, just not crispy at all. The lentil soup is scalding, it's good. I like the roasted garlic in the soup and added some lemon to it as well. The Chana masala is okay, they put potatoes in it as filler instead of more chick peas. Other than the potatoes, it's good. The butter chicken is rather sweet, it's still pretty good. I am glad the chicken chunks aren't too big in this dish. Not a fan when it seems like the pieces are half a breast of chicken. Mushrooms aren't too bad. Not special. The lentils are good. Their garlic naan tastes sweet, almost, it's decent. The tandoori chicken is good.

Chilli chicken was so spicy my husband couldn't eat it. The breads were just ok.

My friend convinced me to try this place with her which is why I went (its not close to me at all). The food was surprisingly good considering the fact that previous reviews mentioned mold in their pre-packaged items. The worst thing about this restaurant is the disgusting bathroom. Files were buzzing around my head, piles of tissue and paper towel all over, the toilet was full of piss before I could actually pee & there was barely any soap to wash my hands. I saw one of the employees go to the restroom after me and I know he didnt wash his hands because he was in there for like one minute tops. The fact that I survived after eating there is a miracle because if the bathroom isnt clean then how is the kitchen clean? Needless to say, I will never eat here again. The service was decent but it was still not enough for me to feel comfortable trying this place out another time.
