    Fruit salad and Jalebi
    Chetan S.

    We had another great meal at Panj Tara! This time we had gone for their Weekend buffet lunch and since we reached just as they started serving we had the entire area almost to ourselves and the whole dining area was quiet, spic and span. Started off with loading up a plateful of small portions of the different vegetarian options and almost all of them were prepared well. Best liked dishes were the Paneer Tikka Masala and the Kadhi with those lovely Pakodas. The Tandoori Rotis served were hot, hot, light and fluffy and were very tasty while also complementing the main dishes completely. The Peas Pulao were a let down and it was not made fresh but the Plain Basmati Rice was wonderfully fresh and prepared well. I personally did not like the Tandoori Chicken as the pieces seemed have been made earlier and only re-heated and served, The Shrimp Curry was so so and the seafood seemed to have been slightly over cooked. The Chicken Do Pyaza was quite flavorful and the meat had been cooked to perfection - soft, succulent, fall-off the Bone and well marinated into the Do Pyaaza stew. I did also like the fresh sliced onions with the Punjabi house-made Achaar served as an accompaniment, which was wonderful! Finally we also tried the different desserts - the Sheera was ok but we loved the Jalebi and Fruit Custard. All in all a good value for money! We will come back for another round soon!

    Wanted to eat Chole Bhature for a long time upon scrolling Yelp we found Panj Tara so glad we tried this place... They were having Lunch Buffet (weekend) but since my craving was for Chole Bhatura we opted to order that along with Dahi Puri - Hollowed semolina puri, stuffed with potato garbanzo mash, yogurt and house-special chutneys. Chole Bhature - Delight in a symphony of flavors with our slow-cooked chickpeas, simmered to perfection in a luxurious tomato-onion gravy served with pickles & onions. Both the dishes were outstanding, Chole Bhature is made authentic Amritsar style we enjoyed every bite... it was delicious. We would like to try their buffet too since majority of the crowd was opting for that... this place is super popular so it gets pretty crowded... can't wait to go back & try their other dishes too... They have plenty parking on the back of the restaurant it's a huge lot...

    So my sister wanted to eat Indian food for her birthday so this had a 5 star review. Wow. We walked in at the atmosphere is gorgeous and so clean!! The staff was incredibe. Ask for Dalton or Hus. So very informative! I had the naan bread with garlic. We had an appetizer which I forgot name of. It was out of the word. Then has paneer it was so yummy!! Everything we ordered was great!! definitely recommend if you're looking for Indian food.

    First time and got a chance to try their weekday buffet. They have decent options for 17.99 for adult and 10.99 for kids. The vegetarian and non-vegetarian appetizers were excellent! The naan served at the table was warm and soft. The veg and non-veg curries were fairly standard. Jalebi was a delightful addition to the buffet, and the gulab jamun was delicious. Rupee beer was great. However, the fruit salad/ custard seemed a bit watery

    Mango lassi

    Our server was Asma, who was extremely sweet and attentive. Frisco needed an authentic North Indian restaurant, and this Punjabi restaurant is the real deal! The chole bhature are Delhi style - spicy and delicious. The chicken tikka masala with the butter naan was rich and full of flavor. We were very impressed with the freshness of all the dishes. They truly tasted made to order and were piping hot. Really love the ambiance. It's family friendly and contemporary. It's a bit pricey, but the quality of the food plus great service makes this a must visit. They have lunch buffet every day which we will be back for!

    Food - So fresh and delicious. Love the convenience of a fresh buffet. Lots of chicken dishes. Makes it easy for a non Indian diner to try different items as I don't know all the names of the dishes. Service - Friendly and fast. Shout out to Asma and Yogini for being so friendly and kind on my first visit. Ambiance - Awesome casual and fun vibe with cool artwork on the walls.

    Garlic Naan, Lamb Roganjosh, Chicken 65, Fish Fry, Mango Lassi, and Nimbu Soda
    Lam B.

    We ordered online from Panj Tara with a discount promo code in The Community newsletter. We asked for extra spicy and they delivered for the most part. The Lamb Roganjosh was flavorful and spicy but the Garlic Naan was tough and difficult to chew.

    This restaurant is the perfect addition to the downtown Frisco area! The interior is beautifully decorated and makes for a perfect dining experience for dates or outings with friends or family. Pride of ownership shows in the cleanliness of the entrance, dining area and restrooms. The staff is very welcoming and friendly, and do their best to make customers feel right at home. The food is some of the best Indian food that I have had in years! Everything I sampled from the buffet was fresh and flavorful! There were ample dishes to enjoy and fresh naan was delivered to the table to prevent it from getting soggy on the bar. I was truly impressed with the quality of the food and with the level of service at this establishment. I had a wonderful dining experience and will undoubtedly return to try out some of the other dishes sometime in the near future.

    I LOVE papad, but rarely see it in Indian restaurants, so this was a great start!
    Jacob K.

    Definitely 5 stars. Service was great. Waiters were friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. And they also had some tasty looking drinks from the bar. Now, along with Sake Tori, my 2 favorite restaurants are in the little Frisco square. Goat Rogan Josh. Tika Masala. Garlic naan. Mango Lassi. Goat naan. Papad with cumin seeds .

    Aloha, Tiki Tuesday! What a fun way to spend a Tuesday evening! The tropical cocktails helped us…read morefeel as though we were transported to the islands. They were not only beautifully crafted but absolutely delicious--each sip had us dreaming of swaying palm trees, ocean breezes, and a Hawaiian getaway. We loved both the Mai Tais and the Beachy Bookkeeper! We decided to share a few appetizers. The Meatballs al Forno was my favorite...packed with flavor and perfect for enjoying with friends over drinks. The Heirloom Tomato Burrata was okay however, the tomatoes didn't seem ripe and were hard and chewy. The Lobster in a Jar was tasty - on the pricey side if you ask me though... One of my favorite things about this spot is the ambiance. The lighting is low (and by low I am flat out dark where you almost can't see your hand in front of your face), creating a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind after a long day. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a date night, or simply looking for a place to escape for a few hours, the vibe here is spot on. The service was fantastic as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which only added to the experience. Tiki Tuesday has officially become one of my favorite weekly traditions. Great drinks, delicious appetizers, wonderful service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back next Tuesday for another little island escape. Where's my grass skirt and coconut bra??? Mahalo for a great evening!

    I booked a table for a group of 20 to 25 people for Friday at 8:00 pm and specifically requested…read moredownstairs seating near the DJ area. The host confirmed the reservation right away and even sent me a confirmation text, followed by a reminder message the day before. This was a planned group reservation that was confirmed multiple times. On Tuesday when I made the reservation, I was also told it would be Bollywood and Tollywood night, which was one of the reasons our group chose this place. When we arrived, they were playing almost exclusively South Indian songs. We had to ask the live singer four times before he finally played a couple of Bollywood Hindi songs. This was disappointing because the music theme we were told to expect did not match what was actually happening. When we arrived, we were told our table was upstairs. I explained that our reservation was confirmed for downstairs by the DJ area. The host acknowledged that the downstairs table had been given to another party and claimed they tried calling me. I immediately took out my phone and asked when they called and whether they left a voicemail. There were zero missed calls and no voicemail. I asked multiple times and only received apologies. The reality is, no one called me, and our confirmed table was simply given away. We were then seated near the entrance with people constantly walking in and out. For a group our size, this was a poor seating choice and set the tone for the night. Service was extremely slow from the start. It took about 20 minutes just to get water. It took around 25 minutes for the server to take drink orders. At that point, I walked to the bar myself to order a drink because nothing was happening. About 35 minutes later, the server came back to take food orders. I ordered a single appetizer, cashew chicken. After one hour of waiting, I asked about it and was told it was getting ready. Another 30 minutes passed, still nothing. After roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes total, I was told the appetizer had been given to another table by mistake and that they could reorder it, but it would take another 30 minutes. This was for one appetizer, not even an entrée. Several people in our group had similar delays with both drinks and food. There was no real accountability. No manager came over to explain what happened. There was no attempt to comp anything or make the situation right. We were expected to accept slow service, multiple mistakes, and poor communication. To top it off, an 18 percent gratuity was added automatically despite the poor service, and the drinks were watered down. The entire group left disappointed. This was supposed to be a fun group night and turned into frustration. I would not recommend this place for group reservations, and we will not be returning.

A large table in the middle of the bar was filled with children sitting on their iPhones while waiting for a private party to finish in another room. Meanwhile, paying adult customers who had come in to have drinks had nowhere to sit.

The bar was busy and several groups of adults were left standing while a table of kids took up prime seating. It felt poorly managed and honestly a bit strange to walk into a bar late on a Saturday night and see a table of children taking up space while adult guests were trying to find somewhere to sit.

Up next, lamb lolipops on a bed of couscous,cilantro, basil, red onion and had this lime juice twist that paired well with the meat. The portions are on the smaller side. Ain't going to lie, I was lowkey wanting to head within the visinity afterwards because I was still hungry. That's what I get for splitting the portions! The menu is eclectic complete with girl's night out charcuterie option! The bottom level seating between sectioned bar and tables has no distinction. If casual cozy is what you want, then dine here. The jazz band was a blend of neosoul meets old school jams. If you knew, you knew. I felt sexy, cool, calm and collected. Not bad for a Wednesday night!
