Finding somewhere that serves food from the North Indian region of Punjab isn't always easy, with only a few establishments serving this style of cuisine and is different to the usual high street restaurants. Punjabi food is a lot like Punjabis - rich, robust and full of life. It is revered all over India. The curries have thick, moderately spicy and creamy gravies. Dairy products like milk, cream, ghee (clarified butter) and yogurt play an important role in the cooking of both savoury and sweet dishes. Thanks to the fact that such a rich variety of fruit and vegetables are available at all times of the year, the region produces a dazzling array of vegetarian dishes as well as the famous Murgh Makhani aka Butter Chicken, which is a close relative to the infamous Chicken Tikka Masala. The vibrancy and extravagance of Punjab is portrayed in their culture, music and the unique food that they offer. This is what makes it one of the most sought after cuisines in the world.

I’ve held back leaving a review until I’ve had chance to try most of the dishes offered, and I can honestly say The Podgy Punjab does not disappoint! Being a fussy meat eater all my life, I always approach new dishes and restaurants with caution by only sticking to what I know; becoming more adventures with later orders. The Podgy Punjab has always been a fantastic experience serving delicious quality food every time. Surprisingly after trying a few of their vegetarian dishes it’s hard to believe a meal can taste so good; even with the absence of meat. All their dishes are perfectly balanced without having any one ingredient that over powers the others. The amount of fat is also appears to be massively reduced when compared to restaurants. Dishes I’ve enjoyed the most are: Chilli Paneer – Very good flavours and difficult to understand is vegetarian. Lamb Samosa – Just delicious, bursting with flavour with a crispy pastry. Order extra! Desi Chicken Curry – This rivals any curry I’ve ever tasted, I real treat for the taste buds. Overall, outstanding quality, perfectly balanced. A true taste of authentic Punjab food.

A great meal delivered on Saturday. The dahl makhani and was tasty and so different from standard Indian (well mostly Bangladeshi) Restaurant fare. The desi chicken curry was delicious. well done! Will certainly re-order.
