Ordered burger and spring rolls both Taste like street food of Punjab 🔥 best restaurant in town
They have best kadi combo in usa And spring rolls was flavorful and delicious
I always to there for their Falooda Ice Cream. The stuff they put in it I couldn't get anywhere else. The way they make their Rabdi, Lachhas and the ice cream is top notch. They got good vegetarian options for Indian street style food. The owner is super friendly and open and always interacting with the customers and suggesting food and drinks based on their liking. Will always be coming back until either my taste buds change or they change they way they make their drinks and falooda ice cream 🍨
Got Punjabi burger really took me back to Punjab street food, did not like the falooda something was missing not sure what it is. Plus as I am not from NYC asked the lady if parking on side street is fine she says no idea lol so minus one star on all. Total Came to 32 for 2 Punjabi burgers, 1 thali and 1 falooda not sure if she overcharged me, but I did not bother to ask this first time.
Ordered falooda, but found a small glass piece in one of them, taste seemed off then usual, and staff was not polite.
Hi I won’t recommend this place to go buy food look this is mix vegetable subji full of salt no taste fully oily I have tired telling them do not put too much salt anytime I buy always salty no taste whoever that’s the reason you are losing your customers this is not healthy food at all look mix subji
Customer service by the front lady is really very bad. She treats customers like she is giving free food.
I enjoy the food from here. I keep going back for more. The chai was also very good, a bit sweet for me but it was good overall. Definitely recommend you guys to check them out. 07/21/2025- I really didn’t like the Punjabi burger much but that’s just my personal opinion. 01/19/2026- gave me the wrong order. Never ordering back from here
Very disappointing experience. We were already eating our food when that girl suddenly asked us to pay in the middle of the meal. This disrupted our dining experience and felt disrespectful. Proper service should handle payment before or after, not during. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend this place.
Food is not bad but the Lady who answered my phone around 2pm was so rude and disrespectful.
I wish I could give zero star but google has no option very disrespectful staff and I don’t understand same item order in evening and evening staff charged me different price and that why I came in morning to ordered same item and I found different price in morning staff charged me wast part is if I asked them why is this like that, there replied is rod and attitude. Never come back again .
Great vegetarian cafe but they really need to change the lady who work on Sunday shift around 2.00 pm her behavior is extremely rude towards customers . She mess up ppl order and never accept her mistakes . No respect at all .
Don’t buy sholle kulche from this place the pees was not good in the bread waste money i told the sardar guy and he was we eat everyday not problem at all he didn’t listen what customer said to him i told him pees was not good and he said idk no more worth this place eat 😒 owner should take of the customer 0 star 😠😠
Very bad service i order before 35 mint then again waiting for here 10 minutes more and staff rudly talking im so disappointed same shit every day
I ordered one item half an hour before I went to go pick it up. It wasn’t ready and the staff were very unfriendly and disrespectful. I tried to explain that I ordered and still haven’t received my order, they completely ignored me. Staff is very rude and unprofessional! They told me the shift changed so that’s why they haven’t made the food. A shift changing doesn’t mean you ignore someone.
As per my experience, these are the worst noodles I have had in New York and how come you are selling spaghetti on the name of noodles.. We order food from such punjabi restaurants for the punjabi flavors but that spaghetti ones can never be noodles.. look around guys you need to improve.. you can’t just serve spaghetti tossed with just ketchup to your customers in the name of indian street style noodles.. even the fewest of veggies I can see in there look like rotten
restaurant has very disappointing service. The staff are unfriendly and seem untrained, the food is served cold, and they often make mistakes with the orders.
This restaurant is terrible — the staff are rude and unprofessional, and the service is very poor. The food always arrives cold, and they often bring the wrong order.
Lately, I’ve noticed that the food has been extremely oily. It’s gotten to the point where it feels like I’m just eating oil rather than the actual dish. I really used to enjoy this place, but the amount of oil being used recently has been overwhelming and makes the food much less appetizing. I hope they can go back to the way they used to cook, with a better balance and less grease. On a positive note, the front staff has been polite and welcoming, as they always have been, which I truly appreciate. I just hope the kitchen can go back to the way they used to cook, with a better balance and less grease.
