Le Penjab — Restaurant in Saint-Malo

I don’t “hate” this place but I had a horrible experience and that is what I am reviewing. I think they can, and should, do better. I arrived to an open door but was told to wait outside for 4 minutes until they opened. Immediately after stepping outside a group of four entered and placed an order to go. When I reentered a humorless host literally pointed to a table in the corner next to the kitchen, it had a lovely fire extinguisher protruding from the wall into my seating space. I had to turn and straddle the leg of the table to avoid it. (Mind you, I was the only person in the restaurant, but apparently a single diner is not worthy of occupying a comfortable table).

But the fact that I’ve been coming here for years and was treated like this shows the lack of rapport they have with their clientele. Finalement, quand quelqu’un parle Français avec vous, c’est impoli de...

✅✅✅✅✅ I recently had the pleasure of indulging my taste buds at "Le Punjab," an Indian eatery that turned out to be a bona fide culinary oasis. Stepping inside, I was enveloped in the fragrant embrace of Indian spices, and the restaurant's ambiance exuded an inviting aura.

The pièce de résistance of my visit to "Le Punjab" was undoubtedly the gastronomic offerings. Each dish I sampled transported me to the vibrant streets of India, evoking cherished memories of home-cooked meals. The menu boasted a tantalizing array of Indian delicacies, and my choice fell upon the illustrious paratha, among other delectable items.

The paratha at "Le Punjab" was nothing short of a revelation. It achieved the elusive balance of a perfect flakiness on the exterior while maintaining a soft, flavorful core. It was impeccably complemented by an assortment of chutneys and sauces, each a harmonious marriage of flavors.

As an Indian by birth, my dining experience at "Le Punjab" was nothing short of a nostalgia-laden sojourn to the heart of my homeland's culinary traditions. The meticulous attention to detail in crafting each dish bore testimony to the unwavering commitment to authenticity.

In addition to the culinary marvels, the service at "Le Punjab" was a veritable paragon of excellence. The staff exuded warmth, extending their expertise to provide impeccable guidance through the menu. Their unwavering dedication ensured that every facet of my dining experience was nothing short...
