Review Punjab Express - Cape Town Central

Drikus Oosthuizen
Probably my new favorite Indian cuisine spot in Cape Town. It's all about the food here and the experience is definitely worth a trip to Lakeside. The selection of dishes available is diverse and the staff are very friendly. I ordered a Roti and some dessert. It was the best Roti I've had outside of Durban. For dessert I had Nutella samoosas, while this wasn't a first for me it was definitely the first time it wasn't overly warm. Value for money is there, the portions are large, fresh and taste excellent.

Went to Lakeside shopping centre this evening and was going to get a Pizza, saw Punjab and decided to go in and browse the menu. The young lady behind the counter was very convincing so I decided to try the Lamb Korma and Butter Naan. It was by far the best decision, thank you to the young lady for her persuasive sale skills. 😂🙏 The curry was delicious, flavourful, tasty, creamy and great meat portion. Portion sizes are generous. Will definitely be back. I can highly recommend their cuisine. Well priced and delicious. I rate this place 8/10 for friendliness and great food.

I am a vegetarian and I always find that Punjab has a great variety of vegetarian meals. The meals are tasty, made with great ingredients. I usually find that one meal is enough for 2 meals for myself. I can highly recommend them!

Surprisingly different to other Indian restaurants I have visited. Can see the prep areas and I liked the open plan. Food was tasteful and the wine delicious.

Despite its unassuming location and building condition, this restaurant offers well-spiced dishes at reasonable prices.

Food was tasty as always but for third time card machine was faulty and when paying cash they had no change . Not acceptable

Large variety of curries reasonably priced. Not licensed if you want to sit down.

Punjab is the bomb! Best butter chicken ever. Naan breads are amazing.

Loved this place. Loved the decor, friendly staff and the slogan "eat naan and curry on". Had chicken masala curry with naan. Very tasty, large portion. Amazeballs.

I think the chef must have had a night off on Wednesday. The tough chicken, chewy paneer, and complete absence of flavour other than chilli has led us to look elsewhere for 'Indian' in future.

Thought I'd give some constructive criticism, so after reading the reviews below I decided to still give you guys a bash, i was not very impressed by the delivery time, it took 1 hour and 50 mins to get our food, and it arrived with 3 rice instead of 2 rice and 1 naan bread, I was really looking forward to the naan bread! The chicken Tikka was very dry and of course the food was all ice cold by the time it arrived. Thats the bad, once we heated everything up in the microwave i found the butter chicken to be nice and tasty and i really enjoyed that, the one lamb dish we ordered could have benefited from a bit more of the sauce. I will give you guys a second go as your prices are good and the flavours are lovely and I know that there are usually some teething problems with a newish store!

Second experience within the space of two days and haven't been disappointed. Anything lamb based is my fave but have had nothing but chicken so far! Tandoori chicken on Saturday and Chicken Tikka Masala yesterday. Both so amazing I wanted to take home the left over gravy! Definitely a favourite Indian spot from now on.

I'm originally from the UK's curry capital, Leicester. I have lived in Cape Town for nearly 6 years and have visited many of the cities curry houses. The majority have been OK, but only OK. Many are overpriced, focusing more on their expensive decor than the quality of their food. Punjabs is different. It offers simple surroundings, friendly service, but best of all truly authentic Indian food at reasonable prices that knocks the spots off all other local competition. If you want to experience true Indian hospitality and taste authentic Indian food in Cape Town, this is the place.

The service was friendly and efficient and the delicious food came timeously. I loved the decor which made me feel as if I was eating street food in an enclosed ally restaurant in Asia. I can find nothing to fault - it was a perfect evening.

Fast & friendly service. Loved the chilled decor. Good wines, freshly squeezed juices, good coffees. The food was outstanding. Delicious & nicely presented. My husband had lamb Rogan Josh with naan and I had Prawn Malabar with basmati rice. Both excellent�
Anton Schoeman
Excellent food, good service, good beers. Love the basic look, not a chrome and glass place at all. Keep up the good food! :-)

Century City.... What a disappointing experience... From top to bottom... A Warm Welcome at the door.... but ALL DOWNHILL from there. Terrible service by what seems to be inexperienced watrons. Food not up to standard. . Sour aftertaste in curry. Starters all Bland. I have travelled to india a number of times..... this was the furthest from Indian food ever !! Will have to avoid Pujab Wok in Century City. Just my 5 cents worth.

Best Curry I have ever eaten! Best naan, BEST samosas! Every bite was an absolute delight!
Karen Christian

Was there last night. Loved the food. The fresh juices were mind blowing. Seeing punjab I was expecting makki di roti n sarson da saag would love to eat that. Will visit soon with whole family.
