Typical Punjabi cuisine and dishes... more of an Indian feel than Paki. Located in a strip mall, west bound, route 9... parking is very limited. As the pics show... the place is a little underwhelmed.. it could use more tables and more life. Been there for dinner and the lunch... not bad but nothing spectacular either... nice mix it up kind of place. read more

We catered food and they they didn't even have it ready on time. They said they would have it ready 45 minutes later and they got the food wrong. They also over charge. Genuinely not worth it. Order from Mayuris or Rasoi. read more

Punjabi Grill is my favorite restaurant, the workers are extremely friendly and the food is great! Always a lovely experience here :)

Never ate here however he's forwarding calls to my phone number and missing out on thousands of dollars of business while simultaneously annoying me with your phone calls. This number 508 904 3403 no longer works for him as all his calls are being forwarded to me. Please fix this ! read more

They shutdown the Framingham branch and have not updated the site. Prior to closing, when my friends and I went a few times, we were turned away because the chef was busy with large catering orders. read more

This place is never open for business, which is frustrating because there food is actually good! Wish I could say the same about the customer service though, or even basic phone manners! Twice now we have called and asked for pick up or dine in options and they say they are closed ( not like other places that close from 3-5, but closed and not taking orders) because they were "busy" !!! The latest incident happened last week . I called and asked to place an order for pick up and was told the same story " we are closed and not taking any more orders...." After getting more info I was told that "if you want, you can come work here on the weekends and i will give me food" I was surprised and didn't know what to say! After some thought, the whole situation makes sense . If the manager/ owner talks to customers this way, imagine how they talk to theirs employees. No wonder he can't get staff to come work for him !! It's a loose, loose, loose situations, owner looses staff, will eventually loose his business and we as customers loose by missing out on some good food! Hope they see this and make some positive changes . 2 stars because the food is amazing, but not worth getting spoken to that way! read more

Food is great, but they're frequently not open even when the website says they are, take orders online, and have the front door unlocked.

This was a horrible place to eat and service was awful. We ordered tandoori chicken and it was raw. They served Karahi chicken in the same pan in which they cooked. It was the most horrible experience I had ever. read more

Extremely pricy Chicken tikka I ordered was undercooked Way better options available for the price being charged for food here Chicken karahi is too overrated ; expected much better quality for the price being charged read more

We have eaten here before and the food is good although it lacks any ambiance inside. We decided it's a good take out place because it's just awkward to eat inside. Last night I ordered online through their website, which links to GrubHub. It said 20-30 minutes usually so I headed out to pick it up. I tried calling to verify but the number listed on the website was a fax number. About 20 minutes after I ordered i received a text confirming, although it would not be ready for still another 30 minutes. Fine, I'll stop and grab wine. When we finally made it there the place was closed. A handwritten sign on the front door said we are currently open irregular hours, thank you for your patience. It was Friday evening at 6:30, not like a Monday or some weird time. I ended up calling Welcome India, who said it would be a 30 minute wait but food was ready in less than 15. I had to call GrubHub and have them refund my money. So Punjabi is not somewhere I would go to again and I'd recommend others to steer clear or verify they're open before ordering. read more

Can not give good rating because restaurant is not even open to try anything . It looks promising though! read more

A very pleasant surprise. Not too fancy on the outside but wonderful-tasting fare for sure. A bit pricy at $16 for a plate but still great food and a good-sized portion. read more

HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST PLACES I'VE EVER EATEN. I once had 2nd row center concert tickets to Brandi Carlisle and on my way I stopped here and skipped the concert! So worth it! Owners were very kind and checked on us often to see if we needed anything. A+ read more

I grabbed take out from here otw home. Once I got home, I realized they had given me tofu instead of chicken! As much as I appreciate a vegetarian diet, I am not a tofu person. I called back to let them know, and the owners wife made me a new order and brought it out to me personally, and I live 20 minutes away into Westborough! She even refused the tip I tried to give her for driving it out on the fly. Amazing customer service if you ask me! This is exactly why this is one of my favorite Indian places in the area read more

Great food. Quick and ordered online thought GrubHub. Ordered chicken tikka masala and mulai kofta. Included rice in both orders. Will go back. read more

I hate to say it but I feel that every time I come here it gets worse. We use to love this place but each time something is wrong. Tonight, even after our order was read back to us, I got home and two things were correct. My fish vindaloo was chicken and had zero potatoes. My vegetable pakoras (my favorite from them) were, I'm guessing, potatoes samosas or some fried potato dumplings. They were ok but not what I wanted. The lentil soup had no lentils and was an inch thick with grease. The garlic naan was ok but not the best I've had from them. My fiancés chicken korma was excellent. Like I said I'm disappointed because we loved this place. It was a hidden gem for a while. I also never got my Raita and papadum was unavailable as usual. I hope they can turn it around! read more

Amazing food . No one can beat their chicken tikka saag, saag paneer and biryani . Also love their chicken tikka and korma . If you are looking for quality food reasonably priced try Punjabi grill They have recently introduced 4 and 2 people food packages . read more

One of the best places I've ever been to definitely will be coming back again the food was impeccable and the owner was very sweet I would recommend this restaurant to many others the food was very well cooked and you can tell the food is made with love take a Chance and get a meal ! read more

Hands down to the floor the absolute finest cuisine in all of Massachusetts.. The Chicken Tikka Masala, so buttery, sweet, salty, and the chicken cooked to perfection. THE NAAN AND THE RICE WERE SO GOOD. love it love it love it. read more

My cousin took me here after going with her on errand duty. It's like a whole in the wall, nothing fancy about this place. You see a couple of table and on the left wall you see the mini buffet. They have a big selection of other food on their menu but we opted for the buffet. Mostly because we were hungry and wanted to eat asap. I actually liked this place. The owner is quiet but pleasant, he came to our table and offered fresh out of the even naan bread. I was delighted and in heaven, it was so good. The only thing I didn't like at the buffet was the spinach dish and the dessert (it was too sweet for me but than again it was sitting in syrup). I was so stuffed when I left. Would definitely came back when I'm in Southboro again. read more

I wish I could give this place a higher rating because their food is really good. But their hours are very frustrating and it seems like they are never open when I want to order. read more

Really good mango lassi, gave us a ton of rice when we didn't ask for it. The haleem was a little bland but the nehari was delicious. Highly recommend if you love Pakistani food read more

Definitely gotta try more basmati rice after this visit! Is all basmati this good, or did Punjabi ace it?! Vegetable samosas were just lovely. Tough to beat them with anything taste-wise. 6 or 7 for $2.95... One of the if not the best meal deals ever. Chicken pakora was so bland. No seasoning. Nothing wrong with the texture or quality, just literally no taste. Tikki masala sauce was good! That said, I don't think I've ever had bad Indian orange chicken... Kind of like the basmati rice sample size... Have to try more to really know! Some pieces of the chicken were tough though... I KNOW I've had MUCH better naan bread. Absolutely flavorless, too doughy, and undercooked. Decent little place I guess, nice portions all in all, great prices... Put those samosas on your bucket list. :) read more

Food is goood Ordered Meat samosa goes well with chutney Chicken Jalfrazi and Garlic naan was good read more

I was told my meal would come with naan on the side. It didn't. The "worker" (not sure what his title is, he did nothing but grunt and slam my food on the counter) did not make eye contact with me and sighed when I walked in. Instead of greeting me, he walked into the back room for 5 minutes and seemed to yell at someone. I am officially done with this establishment. read more

The food is average how to give it about five out of 10 the prices are exorbitant I ordered the kebab it was very expensive and it wasn't that big either their salad didn't have any vegetables in it it was just lettuce and their yogurt sauce was not spicy at all. read more

Their Hakeem and Lamb Saagwala is really good. Get takeout - the place isn't awesome to sit at.

Very expensive a-la-carte items. I just ordered one dish as a take out and it cost $14.99 which consist of a small bowl of curry and a small standard chinese rice box filled with basmati rice along with some spices. Unless the curry was made with some exotic spices, the menu items are way too expensive! . Enough to make your lunch or dinner experience - a big hole in your pocket. I do not know how the buffet is. Based on other reviewers it looks like average to good rating. Will try that sometime but never a take out or dine in. read more

Ordered takeout from here. Paid with paypal. Got there door locked, no note on the door...nothing. Tried to call no answer. Stay clear!

Underwhelming in most ways. It felt like a Chinese takeout. But, it was Sunday night and the noodle place next door was closed. The meat samosa was...UH! The Tandoori chicken was the least flavorful of a lifetime. They threw in rice. Along with tea was a $25 dinner from bleakness. Yes it is edible and no it was neither hospitable, nor enjoyable. read more

It was really very mediocre, maybe not even mediocre. We ordered the non vegetarian appetizer sampler, and almost all of the meat was very dry. Even the ground lamb inside of the samosa was completely dry. If I had paid $13+ for one of the entrees from which the samples came, I would have been really disappointed and sure my money had been wasted. It was also really ugly inside -- absolutely no decor, and the ceiling especially is in poor shape. Also, the man who was behind the counter and who seemed to be in charge was very unfriendly. Won't be back! read more

Fantastic food! The best north Indian food in boston . Recommendations-The Chicken Biryani is delicious , so the chicken do pyaaza. The non- veg appetizer platter is just about enough for 2 ppl. If you are a group , you might want to make a reservation but if not they do take outs as well . We also had them cater one of our house parties and the food was fabulous! Highly recommend it ! read more

Went to Punjabi Grill tonight for our anniversary. This is a no frills place. Very small. But didn't seem too busy. A few people came in for take out and there was one other good sized table that was already there when we arrived. Immediately when I walked in one of the customers was fanning themselves so I knew the AC was broken. I walked in and sure enough. No AC. We live in Boston so we drove a bit to get there. I know my husband was happy being from Pakistan to be in a place where he can get food like at home. So I stayed for him, but I'm really glad I did. As soon as the food came out my attitude turned right around because it was really good. We had Seehk Kebabs, which are one of my favorites. These were chicken and there was a good amount of cilantro and it comes on a sizzling plate kind of like fajitas with onions and some green pepper and a lemon. We gobbled that right up. No left overs! I had Lamb Korma. The meal came with Basmati rice. It had orange strands in it. I asked my husband if it was carrots and he said it is spices. I am on weight watchers, so I just had that. I also had some naan bread with it. My husband also ordered Chicken Haleem and Chicken sagawala. He said it was delicious. The food was nice and hot and fresh. We really enjoyed it and had left overs to bring home. Not sure what was up with the AC, but I would definitely visit that place again. They've got good food! read more

I chose to dine here as it is the closest Indian restaurant from my place. I have made 3 visits to this place, 1 good, 1 bad and 1 worst. Here are my 3 encounters: Bad Buffet: I went to a Sunday afternoon Buffet which was decent. I say decent because there were very few varieties to call it a Indian buffet. I liked the Chicken Biryani and that's the reason i decided to go there again. There are many more way much better options nearby. Good Chicken Biryani: Remembering the buffet's Chicken Biryani, decided to get it for dinner. When asked the guy for a home delivery option, he suggested that i should rather do a take out as i reside close by. Got the food on time and it was nice and spicy as desired. Worst Delivery EVER: I usually get my food delivered. I have had delays in my delivery but never this bad. I got my Chicken Biryani delivered in 1 Hour 40 Minutes. I had called once to check the status and the guy on the phone said that he was very busy and was waiting on the cook to finish cooking for other orders and then deliver. Like it's just one man doing everything. Really bad excuse but i gave in expecting a good dinner. Finally when i got the food, Guess what? The food was COLD and really didn't enjoy my dinner. Will never get a home delivery from here. Keeping in mind the price Punjabi Grill charges for their food, their service and buffet quality is really really poor. I would never recommend this place to anyone. 2 Stars for the Chicken Biryani. 1 and Half Stars for the Bad Buffet. 1 star for the Poor Service and Management. read more

4 stars for their weekday lunch buffet. For under $10 you have a good lunch option in framingham if you are craving Indian food. They have 3 chicken options. 2 bread options. Plain rice. A couple of vegetable dishes. A couple of fried vegetable appetizers. Salad. and Gulab Jamun for desert. This place has been busy the two times I have been for lunch. The food is warm and cooked well - not too spicy. Good for for under $10. read more

We have been here a few times. We love this place. Wife loves their spicy food and it kind of became her go to place for tasty Indian food. If you from Indian subcontinent and love spicy, then ask for 'Indian spicy'. All veggie varieties are excellent. Comes with lot of rice. read more

So, this order was a take-out order, but I was there for a while, so I'll comment on what I saw as well as my experience. I called at 8:03pm for a take-out order. I ordered meat samosas, saag paneer, and garlic naan. I was told it would be 20-25 minutes. I arrived at the restaurant at about 8:30pm. When I said I was there to pick up my order, and gave my name, the man looked at the one order sitting behind the counter, and asked what I had. I repeated my order, I paid, and he told me it would just be one minute. A few minutes later, I was told it would be just a few more minutes. About 15 minutes after that, I was told it would just be a few more minutes (again) and that there had been a mistake. They did apologize, but by this time, it's nearly 9pm, and I'm getting hangry. I thought about walking out, but I had already paid. Meanwhile, other people's food was coming out of the kitchen (granted, I don't know what time they had ordered), and I do have to say that both of the men working were hustling. The phones rang nearly constantly, and the tables were full, including a family of 6 waiting on the table paying their bill. At 9pm, I got my food. They apologized again and said they had thrown in dessert as an apology. That mollified me. I was still hangry, but they handled it appropriately by keeping me updated, apologizing, and showing their apology. I got home and needless to say, I was ready to dive in. The samosas were very good flavor-wise, but could have used another minute in the fryer. I assume this was due to their rush to get my food together. The garlic naan was wonderfully cooked, and the saag paneer was perfect. The spice level wasn't too hot (I like spicy but I hadn't specified how to cook my order) but had a lot of flavor. The paneer was soft and not too dry. The portion was great, too. This was only my second time there, and I'll go back. The signs on the buffet had two of my favorites on it, along with other great items, so I'll try that next time. read more

Stopped in with my Indian friend who recommended this for lunch. Reasonably priced buffet of tasty items. I'm not familiar with Indian dishes but loved everything on the buffet. Sweet caring service Not much atmosphere however Worth checking out. Located in small strip mall at corner of temple st and route 9 west read more

Love this place. The saag paneer and the mango lassi are fantastic. But do take out. The atmosphere is not great there

Truly ethnic. Chicken Karahi literally came in a Karahi to give us a traditional feel. Flavorful and quality food. Having always had hyderabadi/mughlai biryani, PG's biryani looked different. Looked like layers of plain basmati rice and curry. Update after a lunch buffet - would appreciate more hygiene at this place. There is usually just one person attending all the guests, who could get less attentive. But overall great value for money. read more
