    Chicken Korma
    André E.

    I live out of town, so this is a review of my first visit, which exceeded all expectations. Super cute and cozy dining room, which is like an enclosed patio (with mini split AC). Order is taken at a window, and the one restroom is on the outside of the building, but the food was absolutely phenomenal. Absolutely! Hot and full of flavor.

    We stayed overnight in Amarillo on our way to visit family and arrived right around dinnertime. Wanting something on the healthier side, we found *It's a Punjabi Affair*, which had great reviews and was only five minutes from where we stayed. They offer both drive-up and dine-in, and we decided to eat inside. The cashier was incredibly friendly--she handed us menus, pointed out the specials, answered our questions, and took our order with a smile. I went with the 7-vegetable korma special and swapped the naan for papadum (GF). The korma was flavorful with just the right amount of spice, and it even included some paneer... yum! My partner ordered the chicken biryani with papadum and really enjoyed his meal as well. Overall, a great find on our road trip. We'd definitely stop by again the next time we're in Amarillo.

    Saw a lot of great reviews for this restaurant so I thought I'd see what the hype was about. It's a cute venue with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a QR code and there are physical menus available. When ready, place your order at the window. When your dishes are ready, they will call out your name to come pick up your food. We ordered the lamb biryani and the butter chicken. The rice to meat portion in the biriyani was 3 (rice):1 (lamb). The butter chicken was good, but wondering why the sauce was so red. Overall, the food was good and the establishment was clean.

    Vegan lentils

    Who knew that there would be good vegan Indian food in Amarillo?? The vegan chana masala, vegan lentils and vegan biryani were all delicious! Can't wait to go again! Also, the inside is super cute and cozy!

    To-go of detox lentil and fenugreek paneer

    I've tried this restaurant back in 2023 on my road trip to Texas and yesterday, I got to try again when passing through Amarillo. If you're craving Indian food and passing through Amarillo - there is no need to think again, just go to this place. We were reaching Amarillo at 8:50pm and this place close at 8:30pm on Sunday but I really wanted to try this so I called ahead and they were able to accommodate our request. We ordered the detox lentils and fenugreek paneer. All the curry comes with naan and rice, tangy onion and papad. They are able to substitute rice with naan as needed. Portion quantity is also good. Detox lentil is basically close to dal makhni. Fenugreek paneer was higher on tangy side, so I would recommend adjusting that a bit. Naan is good, we ate food around 9:30pm and it was still soft. Overall good experience with decent price.

    Chicken masala
    Kaylee G.

    Was pleasantly surprised Chicken masala was very flavorful. Added spice on the said was a good choice. We could add to the heat level. Good amount of chicken. 10/10 Naan bread 10/10 Rice 10/10 Gyro lamb 10/10 Samosas- greasy and the flavor wasn't the best 2/10

    Chicken 65!
    Sam L.

    Their Chicken 65 today for lunch was this-may-be-the-most-delicious-thing-I-have-ever-eaten perfection! The Naan was perfect too with some crisp to it, and the parsley (I believe it is) ever so slightly charred. All of it was beyond perfect today! Thank you! :)

    Outside restaurant from Amarillo Country Club
    Ronda R.

    Could smell this place from an event across the street. Ordered the smothered fries, butter paneer, biriyani and a couple desserts to go. Wow wow wow. SO GOOD!! Asked for spice level 3-4 and it was so tasty. It's a small place, clean, cute decor and the young man that took the order was very kind and helpful. As others mentioned restrooms is on the outside of the building, which was also very clean and cute. Palo Duro Canyon and IaPA are worth a trip back to Amarillo, soon!

    This place is now going to be our go to travel stop in Amarillo. I wish I lived here because I'd eat here all the time. Sooooo yummy The business is small and unassuming but it's clean and modern. The restroom is in a weird walk outside location but it's also very clean and nice. The food is top tier and literally the best Indian food I've had. Hot and fresh with amazing flavor. The servers at the window were really friendly and explained everything to us.

    Curtis R.

    Id rate this a 3.5 It's just ok The place looks really nice and if Id come back, I'd probably come back and study, but the food is just ok. I wish the flavors were stronger... Service is nothing special; you order in the front and pick up your food/ clean after yourself.

    A screenshot of my call on hold. The rudest NONservice ever.
    Michelle K.

    Well I suppose it's a great place to eat. But we wouldn't know because when we called to order they kept me on hold not once, but TWICE for over 5 minutes!!! I could hear business going on and the woman was right by the phone speaking, never once came back to say anything to me. Seriously unprofessional and rude. They don't need my money apparently. Good to know. We won't be trying to order here when we come back through.

    Back patio with metal chairs and tables
    Amber O.

    I had to pass through Amarillo on my way north and I'm so glad I stopped in to this place for lunch, it's amazing and I'm sad I will probably never be in the area again to enjoy it another time! If you are local please show this place some love for me. The lentils were perfect, the naan and roti were super fresh, and the service was prompt and friendly. The ambiance was very pretty without being overstated, I loved all the decor and they really made excellent use of the space by incorporating a back patio. It was too cold for that when I went but, the view was still nice. I wish this place the absolute best!

    Ludmila S.

    Great Indian restaurant! Service was friendly and fast. The flavors were delicious and came with naan and cracker.

    Lamb Biryani and Indian Pizza.....Soooooooo good! I love this place! Best Indian food in Texas!!!!!

    Pros- - Family owned and Operated. They care about what…read morethey put out. - Very good home cooked food. - Despite there being a buffet, each of the dishes were seasoned well and labeled correctly. - Not like a traditional American buffet where everything is the same level of bland. - The Naan was made to perfection. (Be warned, if you're sensitive to spice, ask the server what mild dishes they recommend) - The server we had was very informative and caring and I never felt like I was ignored when I needed something. Ambiance was pristine, I imagine it's better at night. Very cozy atmosphere with light traditional Indian music. - One of the few Indian restaurants I've been to that didn't leave me on the toilet. Cons- - Slightly pricey. For two buffets, two baskets of Naan and two Mango Juices with a ~25% tip, it came out to around ~$55. Not bad but not cheap. I give it three and a half stars on price.

    I ordered online from Sai Indian Cuisine in Amarillo and was excited to try their food. I ordered…read moremutton curry, chicken tikka masala, chili paneer, and garlic naan. Unfortunately, my experience with the chicken tikka masala was extremely disappointing. The first thing I noticed was the overwhelming smell of old fenugreek. The smell was so strong that it completely overpowered the dish, and unfortunately the taste matched it. After the first bite, I immediately noticed that the texture did not seem like chicken at all -- it had the consistency of paneer. After checking the dish more carefully, I found actual chicken pieces mixed in with what appeared to be paneer-like chunks. It looked as though something other than chicken had been added to make the dish appear fuller. I called the restaurant to simply ask how their chicken tikka masala is prepared and whether there was anything other than chicken in the gravy. The response I received was that there was only chicken. When I explained that I had chunks of something that appeared to be paneer in the dish, the response suddenly changed to, "Oh, it's eggs." As someone who grew up eating North Indian food, I have never encountered eggs being added to chicken tikka masala, and more importantly, this was never disclosed anywhere on their menu. Their website describes the dish as "chicken baked in clay oven and cooked with mild sauce" -- there is no mention of eggs, paneer, or any other ingredient that could be a concern for someone with allergies. When I brought up the concern that someone with an egg allergy would have no way of knowing this, the response I received was simply, "You need to tell me." I explained that when ordering online, customers can only go off the information provided on the menu. Instead of acknowledging the issue, I was met with the same dismissive response. The conversation continued to become more unprofessional. When I questioned the way I was being spoken to, the person responded that this was how he talked to customers and then hung up on me. For anyone who is new to Indian food and is looking for an authentic experience, I would strongly caution you. This was the furthest thing from the North Indian food I grew up eating. Authentic Indian cuisine is built around carefully balanced spices, proper preparation, and transparency about ingredients -- not masking questionable additions or dismissing customer concerns. Whether this was the owner or an employee, the attitude and lack of accountability were unacceptable. A restaurant should be transparent about its ingredients, especially when allergens are involved, and should treat customers with basic respect when concerns are raised. The food quality was disappointing, but the customer service was even worse. I cannot recommend Sai Indian Cuisine based on this experience.

    Absolutely Disgusting - Worst Dining Experience Ever…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. This was hands down one of the most vile, inedible meals I've ever encountered. The food was so bad that no one at our table could stomach more than a bite. It looked awful, smelled worse, and tasted like it had been sitting out for days. Whoever is in that kitchen should not be allowed near food. The goat biryani? Oh my god. It looked like something you'd find in a dumpster after a food fight. The color was a sickly, off-yellow-brown, like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for far too long. And the texture? I honestly thought it was vomit. Full of chunky, unappetizing onions, green peppers, and what I can only describe as the fat, skin, and bones of what was supposed to be goat meat. Not a single bite was edible. This was definitely a load of rubbery chunks of regret. To make matters worse, we were charged for items we never ordered. And the final insult? A can of Coke--just a regular, warm can--was $5.99. For real. Almost six bucks for something that costs 1.50 cents at a gas station. Save your money, your time, and your stomach. There are bad restaurants, and then there's this place. Avoid it like the plague.
