The food is excellent.
The pricing is excellent.
We struggled with our waitress as we were a large table but management intervened to ensure we had a great time.
We used to live down the road and loved eating here. The food, the atmosphere, the staff, always wonderful. We moved to Pretoria over a year ago and definitely miss them.
The food is orgasmic and the service was good as well. Will definitely be back!
We visited first time , food was delicious n ambiance was very pleasant..keep it up.. we will visit again very soon �
It was amazing place and specially biryani was wonderful.
Staff is very friendly.
Good food overall.
I ordered paneer curry and boneless biryani.
Amazing taste.
Always delicious and a go-to for the best Indian take-away or sit down. The Palak paneer and vegetable samosas are the best I’ve had in JHB - delicious!
My friend was really feeling like a curry and we went here for dinner tonight (4 October 2017).
Firstly, the ambience is very nice. It’s set out very beautifully!
The service is alright. The waiters are friendly.
The complimentary pompodums with a coriander dip and chutney are a nice touch.
My friend had the butter chicken. It was very flavorsome and had a perfect spice level. I had the chicken korma, it was very tasty and creamy just like a korma should be. I would definitely recommend it. Only constructive criticism is adding some more cashew nuts. Both curries were served with rice.
My highlight of the meal was the naan bread, I had a garlic and butter one. Extremely delicious.
Definitely worth trying out if you’re keen for Indian food and live in the Parkview area.
Taste of Punjab Parkview is a great Indian restaurant near the Zoo Lake area. It has all the features of the chain Taste of Punjab is known for - authentic Indian cuisine, Punjabi flavours and great outdoor sitting arrangements. I really loved the vegetarian options from Dale Makhni to Paneer Tikka Masala. Naan is also soft and crisp along with amazing pickle. Would love to visit this place for more snacks. Pakodas and Veg Manchurian is really nice. Thanks

“Best meal I've had in ages, Example of excellent customer service, One of the best places for Delicious Indian cuisine"
I've tried the cuisine at dozens of other Indian restaurants in and around Johannesburg, as well as in other cities, and I still think Taste of Punjab@Parkview is my favorite by far. Their delicious and fresh food is always consistently the best, and the service bends over backwards to make your experience truly memorable. Food is definitely the most enjoyable and you can tell they always use the freshest ingredients. They catered a large event for one of my family occasion. Working with Taste of Punjab was such a breeze. They thought of everything, offered suggestions and the event was a HUGE success. Their level of professionalism is beyond excellence. You can tell a lot of time and effort goes into the development of the menu and the associated recipes.
The sauces and spices were done just right. Treat yourself to a great meal at this great restaurant soon. Every meal we enjoyed had a variety of options and was flavorful but also because the prices were so reasonable. One of the best places to go for authentic Indian food! Being Indian, I like the fact that the food is absolutely authentic and healthy (not submerged in loads and loads of oil like other places). You won't be disappointed, your stomach will be happy and your wallet won't be completely empty. I have even frequented this restaurant for the dinner and I would totally recommend the place to others. There are lots of things left to try on the menu.
There are four for five Indian restaurants much closer to my house, but I drive the extra distance for Taste of Punjab's delicious food! I have never seen anyone pour their heart and soul into their business like Taste of Punjab, Parkview! Each flavor component is carefully assessed with meticulous detail. I would recommend this place anytime any day. It's family oriented, clean, great food,and the customer service is the best in Johannesburg. Consistency is key and I have never been disappointed. The owner not only cares about his customers but he empowers his staff daily. Well done Taste of Punjab!!! I will be a customer for my time!! Without a doubt, THE BEST RESTAURANT IN Johannesburg!!!
Had a order in delivery from here of mango lassi, yoghurt raita and roti.Roti was nice and yoghurt was good and mango was really refreshing and lovely
I have been a few times and get take away from this place at least once a month. I am never disappointed. The food, service and speediness is amazing. The Chicken Peshwari is absolutely delicious.
Best Indian food in the area! Both for sitting down and take-away.
We always have the chicken korma with buttered naan which never disappoints!
Friendly service and a great night out!
It was emptyish for a Friday night but surprisingly, the ambience wasn't too bad probably because of its red walls and gold curtains. Like all Indian restaurants, the decor was kitsch but the food was nice enough - chicken tikka Marsala with fluffy basmati rice and butter naan on the side. R30 corkage for a delicious Warwick cab franc 2010 was the cheapest I've ever known and the service (from the manager) was excellent.
Note: if you're offered a table outside, you won't be affected by the weather - it's really inside - in the central space of the Village Shopping Centre.
Best Tandoori Chicken in the city. Also it is very centrally located. Can be considered as best authentic Indian restaurant. Must visit place.
Best authentic Indian restaurant in Johannesburg. I'm a food lover and try different cuisine in different places. Recommended food here..Tandoori Chicken,Punjabi Lamb Curry with Bone, Prawn Masala. Don't foget Kulfi ice cream. Must say the staff are friendly . Ambiance will get full marks. From my side Taste of Punjab will get five star rating.
I have been to this restaurant with friends and family for dinner. Food was awesome. Staff was very friendly and service was good. Had a good time !!!
Best Indian food we ever had in jozi.. Food was awesome .. Ambiance was excellent... Helpful staff with excellent services... I loved Tandoori Mushroom and Paneer Lajawab ... I am fan of this restaurant .. Must go restaurant of jozi...
One of the best curry spots in JHB. Great curries, exciting menu, helpful staff. One time they accidentally gave me the wrong dish on a takeaway order (only noticed when I got home). I phoned them to let them know and they Ubered me the correct order so I didn't have to drive back to swap it! 5 star service!
We came here for a family dinner. The lighting was pretty low which makes for a more intimate type dinner.
Stuart and I shared the starter of battered mushrooms. We really enjoyed the starter. For mains, I had the butter chicken. It was good but could have had a little more flavour. The garlic naan was really good. Overall it was a lovely evening, we would definitely give it a try again.
Food is so amazing here! The staff are always friendly and efficient. Fell in love with this place since the first time i've been here. Love it! Definitely recommend it to anyone that loves curry. They have so many varieties.
i was there with one of our family friends. Loved the food. Ordered Veg Manchurian and lamb seekh kabab. Both the dishes were awesome . Loved the ambience as well
I'm adding my review here cos I realize I haven't done one. My bad. Someone at work asked which was my fav Indian. And I have to say Taste of Punjab is it. I always eat the same thing, but the prawn masala is to die for. Add some jeera rice and you are good to go.
Shared a chicken Tikka as well as a curry to get the best of both worlds- chicken was really tasty and so was the curry. The dishes though we're unfortunately quite small, considering the price- so had to fill up on the Naan and rice . The service was very accommodating though and the waitress was really helpful. All in all, a nice meal but sorry to say - not my favorite Indian spot in jozi
Great authentic Indian food, nice and hot just like you want it when you ask for hot, myself and a friend had the lamb thali and our American guest wanted to try a bunny chow, was recommended by Zomato as one of the best in Jozi so we brought him here and he loved it
Best tandoori chops. Excellent service. Well priced. Become my favorite Indian restaurant we will certainly be going back and recommend it to friends
We were hungry for some Indian takeaway and so we ordered the butter chicken curry with extra knaan. And it was exceptional tasty and full of flavour and tastes of authentic Indian food and spices. Although quite pricey, the food and portion was fantastic and wouldn't hesitate to go back
My boyfriend loves the lamb breyani from Taste of Punjab and after tasting it I must agree and I highly recommend it. I also tried the butter chicken and garlic naan which was very satisfying. We got a full meal for R210 for two and we both had leftovers for the next day. Thus great value for money.
The restaurant has a warm feel which is great in winter and the staff are friendly.
Great location, attentive waiters. Good food with the usual generous offerings u expect at an indian restaurant. Didnt disappoint but also didnt wow. Its ok.
Quiet part of the centre away from the bustling market and popular street. Excellent , friendly service. Full of aromatic and tasty dishes will be back.
I love this place. Really tasty food. Service is good. A beautifully decorated resturant. We had the butter chicken and a prawn korma. Plan to return regularly.
Shared the mixed platter and vegetarian mixed platter for starters. Delicious! Succulent and flavourful. I had the lemon chicken for my main and was impressed. Large portions at a good price. Service was efficient and friendly, although this may have been due, in part, to the low number of patrons.
We went to this place and loved the food .
Good portions , excellent taste and well priced . Service was very good . Not many people sitting , but seemed very busy with Take Aways . Chicken Malai tikka , Dal Makhni was very good .
Surely shall go there again .
Our go to take out place for curry. The food is tasty, and the price is right.
I usually have the butter chicken which is some is the best around in my opinion, and my husband usually get a lamb dish and we are typically satisfied.
The actually restaurant is usually quiet , and lacks a welcoming feel. We have been there to pick up food while they were burning some kind of incense or something. It was incredibly strong smelling and my husband who suffers from asthma didn't not appreciate it in the slightest.
If they worked on their space and kept the quality of food up, we would also consider is a place to go to eat instead of just taking away.
This quaint little gem houses my vote for the best butter chicken I have had thus far in Joburg. I have fallen in love with the butter chicken here and would highly recommend this dish.
I visited this restaurant on a Monday night. It was pretty quiet and that allowed for fast and efficient service. Their basmati rice is fluffy and tasty. I had the lemon chicken. Warning: "medium" is hot enough. I love that their drinks are cheap
Have visited this restaurant a few times.
Love the courtyard vibe - would be perfect if it was right on the road.
We ordered a Korma , Vindaloo with Naan breads - portions are so generous that was enough for 3 of us .....
Prices are reasonable - will definitely visit again.
I stopped by for a late lunch and found the starters enjoyable, onion pakora and punjab chaat. The main course of dhansak chicken was disappointing as it's a Persian/Parsi delicacy in Mumbai. This was bland and mixed with yellow dhaal. The veg kadhai paneer was most enjoyable. Pity they don't stock Gajjar Halwa as dessert as I enjoy it. But guess what, I ordered Malva Pudding, yes in an Indian restaurant. Have ordered butter chicken for dinner. Hopefully it will be good. This venue is tucked away in Parkview and was once home to Michael Broughton of Klein Zalze fame. He is one of the top chefs in South Africa today.
Popped by for a late lunch. Food was good and service was not too bad either. Wide selection in the dessert menu as well. Only disappointment was no ghaajar halwa. We would come back for a meal! :)

My favourite Indian restaurant in Joburg! It isn't a vibey restaurant (it's in a secluded arcade in Parkview which is very quiet at night and doesn't get much natural light) but what it lacks in ambience it makes up for in DELICIOUS food, friendly, attentive staff and fast, efficient service.
They really treat their customers like gold here!
I highly recommend this spot for dinner when the atmosphere is warmer and more intimate with soft lighting and music.
The chicken tikka dishes are all AMAZING and so are all of the vegetable side dishes. The butter chicken is absolutely delicious and the naan bread is perfectly buttery with crispy edges.
Definitely recommend this underrated little restaurant.
We took the family to lunch here today. Very quiet at Sunday lunch time. The food was speedy and delicious. We started with the onion bhaji (a portion is 6 pieces so great value for money and then moved on to mains. I had a mild Chicken Madras, very tasty and generous with the chicken. My partner had a medium Lamb Madras, also very generous with the meat and flavour. My partners daughter had the Lamb Briyani which she rates the best she has had so far, it's her stable Indian order. The chicken samoosa's are huge and 4 a portion, a meal in their own and the naan bread fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back. Great portion size and good value for money.
Taste of Punjab is our local Indian takeaway and occasional eat out spot literally down the road. Take outs are always super quick and their garlic naan is to die for. I have tried almost all the veggie options on offer and there is plenty variety to keep it interesting for me. Love the Egg Plant curry!! Will continue to support them.
Reliably excellent dishes in general, especially their briyani. Service is also always above the norm. Our regular Indian go-to! Too bad they don't deliver!
At least once a week I have a craving for the spicy and full flavoured butter chicken and naan bread at Taste of Punjab. The mere mention of the name, makes my mouth water in anticipation of this wonderful dish. Be sure to eat this dish while srinking the Zorgvliet Sauvignon Blanc. Njam!
The Chicken Korma is also a favourite. A mild curry with nuts. Be sure to lap up the wonderful sauce with your naan bread.
I prefer the ambience of the restaurant inside since it is nice and cozy, but you can also sit outside, although it is still inside the little shopping centre.
Simply superb.
We had as takeaways a non-veg mixed starter (not on the menu here but you can ask for it), chicken samosas, onion bhajis, chicken kadhai, butter chicken and a garlic naan. Great food, great tastes and by far the best value Indian food anywhere in the park suburbs.
We will definitely be back - probably tomorrow and maybe even the next day!
If I were to give any criticism, I would say go for medium if you like mild, but other than it was exceptional. Ten out of ten.
The best Indian food in Jozi. Excellent service. Feel very welcomed when we go there. A truly hidden gem. We regularly eat at Taste of Punjab and always go back for more.
Awesome food!!!!
One of the best food I have had in Joburg, they made special as per the requirements. I love the food @ Taste of Punjaab
Many thank to the service people also.
Been here for the second time in a long while. This restaurant is very quiet during lunch time - you are lucky of there are two other tables occupied. The quality of the food is good however it lacks those special layers of flavour. The korma sauce that they prepare is sweet and pleasant. The breads are well prepared and the prices are good. As usual Indian food is vegetarian friendly.
Their chicken bunny chow on the lunch menu has saved my life several times. Highly recommended!
Mediocre Indian food with slightly inflated price.
Taste of Punjab is located in a busy neighbourhood, Parkview. I honestly can't say much about it because it's just... normal. The menu selection is great, all the classic Indian dishes are there. I really adore butter chicken and theirs is probably the one I like the least.
I didn't have much complaint, but I heard the table next to us complaining to the manager that their steak is welldone instead of medium rare.
There are a lot more better options out there that offer a bigger portion with a cheaper price.
Bottomline: Mediocre.
Pros: Good location, fast service.
Cons: Nothing impressive
What a lovely experience!! The food was amazing and the service was brilliant. The inside is cosy and you are greeted by Indian aromas, which are heavenly. They have a covered courtyard which is lovely, but a bit cold at night! Booking is essential, as the inside is fairly small.
They have a good wine list and an affordable menu! I would suggest going with more than two people so you get to try more than one curry! We ordered three curries with garlic naan- YUM! I ordered the Lamb Rogan Josh, the Butter Chicken and the Kadhai Paneer. They were all superb. The flavours were well balanced and they added the perfect amount of chilli- I ordered medium to hot :) Their samosas are also yummy! They went the extra mile by giving us complimentary sambals and lemon pickle which is unlike Indian restaurants these days!
I highly recommend this place, and their takeaways are also great!
Amazing traditional Indian! Hmmmmmmm!
Cozy little place. .great curry was shovelled into my head along with a great rouge, which I can't remember. .but it was great!
Taste of Punjab in Parkview is one of my favourite restaurants in Johannesburg.
The service is outstanding and the friendly staff certainly make one feel welcome. Lovely ambience and excellent food makes this restaurant a must to try!!! We feel relaxed and happy when we leave this quaint spot.
Enjoy!
Ps. Unlike some restaurants- Taste of Punjab Parkview is also SPOTLESS!
Takeaways on a lazy afternoon...the Chicken Korma and Butter Chicken dishes were delicious. Garlic Naan bread too! First time we've discovered this hidden gem and we'll definitely be back.
We had a lovely lunch at Taste of Punjab today. The covered courtyard outside the restaurant proper makes for a great setting for a relaxed meal and we made an event of it. The place was fairly empty - two other tables - but the service was never intrusive and the food was prompt but not rushed.
Starters were the onion bhajis and the pakoras - both light and tasty, not overly stodgy. I had the paneer palak, which was very good but not exceptionally memorable, while my husband enjoyed the lamb vindaloo immensely, and I fell head over heels for the side of channa masala.
All in all it was a fantastic meal and this place deserves to be busy. Please, give it a try!
We've eaten at ToP multiple times and the dishes to try are tangri kabab, butter chicken, kadai paneer/chicken, lamb rogan josh, stuffed paratha and garlic naans.
Best lamb vindaloo I have tasted! The service is exceptional, meals are reasonably priced, the wine list is fair. Located on the Parkview strip. Definitely add Taste of Punjab to your list of regulars!
I've eaten at Taste of Punjab twice and I've been happily satisfied both times. I like Palak Paneer (spinach and cheese), and theirs is excellent. Today I went for the Lamb Saag, which is lamb with spinach gravy. I asked for it super-mild, but it still came out with a lovely flavor, so don't worry if you are as chili-phobic as I am, it will still taste great.
At lunch, the place was very quiet, so if you're in the neighborhood come by. You'll get served and fed very quickly!
Taste of Punjab was Pride of India once upon a time, a slightly run down place featuring orange tablecloths, plastic flowers and an air of slight desperation. It always had amazing North Indian food at great prices though. It has since had a makeover, and the decor and service is considerably more upmarket, as are the prices. But the food is as good as ever. Creamy vegetarian curries like the dahl mahkni are worth checking out, and the naans and rotis are delectable. It's still cheaper than many other indian restaurants in town, and better than most.
This restaurant went above and beyond when ubereats drivers kept cancelling. They called me personally to apologize and coordinated and alternate way to get my food. They deserve all the stars for the customer service because all of it was out of their control but they still chose to go out of their way to make sure we were fed.
Fantastic food! Authentic Indian cuisine! Beautiful ambience and professional management!! A must try and a definite favorite for me!!!! Thank you Palace Of Punjab!
What a great find! Excellent staff, brilliant food!
They deserve a lot more support. Absolutely lovely
Very tasty and truly Indian flavors. Strongly recommend!

1st time visited..now permamant will be here! Lekker Indian Taste 😅❤️💜 beautiful Services!
The food was delicious, they didn't have enough cider range in stock. The environment is awesome, can do well for candle lit dinner.
Lived the butter chicken. Nothing to fault. Service was good, food nice and hot and tasty. Also a very generous portions
Welldone
Tried the chicken Korma n Naan for the first time. Sauce / gravy was divine although chicken was not cooked through. Tasted raw and cud still see the "redness" of the raw fillet.
Fabulous service. Terrific food. A lovely night out
Very tasty authentic Indian food. Got 10% disc for order over R250 paying cash which is a bonus
Good food, big portions, great service
Always loved this restaurant, being going there for years
Authentic Indian aromatic food with perfect flavors. Top notch quality and super yummy always. Their service is amazing. No. 1 in Johannesburg. I can eat their food all day and night. Deserve 10 stars.
A very nice restaurant situated in a quiet location. Perfect for friends or friends to be to meet.
The menu contains a wide variety of dishes, all reasonably priced. The 'mild' variety of dishes will still give you a good idea of Indian cuisine and your tongue may find it a little more spicy than you may be used to, but very fragrant.
I was there during loadshedding and the lights on the table were not quite adequate to read the menu easily or see the food later for eating, but the service was friendly and quick.
Great restaurant, with delicious Samosas.
We held our engagement party here and got everything we expected and more. The food was authentic and tasty. They cater for tastes from mild to extra hot. The service is great and the energy is cool. It's normally not packed so you can hold great dinner parties here. They also cater for parties held elsewhere and can have a takeaway done on under 20 minutes. All in all, absolutely a great place. Ask for Alex to serve you, he has been our favourite waiter for the last 9 years.
