  • I come here quite often and honestly love the food every single time. The flavours feel really authentic and comforting, and it genuinely takes me back home. It’s one of those places where you eat and instantly feel good. Always consistent, always satisfying, easily one of my favourite Indian spots.

  • We recently celebrated our son’s 18th birthday at home and had the food delivered and set up by Richa. The food was delicious and everyone loved it.We’ve been there for lunch and dinner a few times and always enjoyed it, but the service for this celebration was next level and made the day feel really special. We’re really happy with the service from the Pujabi Rasoi. They were lovely and took great care of everything. Highly recommend them for both dining in and catering — we’ll definitely be ordering again!

  • I treated my mum to a girl's dinner, and the food was simply divine. We had a selection of dishes that were bursting with flavor. The Amritsari fish was a perfect start, followed by a rich and savory Bhuna lamb. The chicken korma was creamy and aromatic, a true comfort food. To top it off, we savored one of the best Chai Masala we've ever tasted. The friendly waitress made the evening even more special with her excellent service. It was a memorable meal, and I highly recommend it!

  • One of the best Indian food places in the region. I'd highly recommend Paneer Kastoori and amritsari choley and kulcha. Have thoroughly enjoyed their Rajma Chawal. Entrées are great as well. Plus they have a street food menu too - which again is delicious. What I also like about the place is their service as well the fact that they dont put loud music on, so one can actually enjoy good conversation over good food. 10/10
