Bored of the hostel food, we a group of 5 friends strolled out in search of a decent restaurant and did end land up stumbling upon a hidden gem in Raipur?
This place called Punjab's Tadka, tucked away on Crystal Arcade near Lodhipara, is like a Punjabi food party for your taste buds.
Now, don't let the cozy seating fool you (it might be a tad smaller than some restaurants), because the warmth of the service and the EXPLOSION of flavors more than makes up for it. Seriously, the chefs here are like flavor ninjas โ they snuck in deliciousness in every single bite!
Speaking of bites, let's talk about the food! They have a massive spread, veg and non-veg, and before you think it's just your standard Punjabi fare, let me tell you โ you'd be butterly mistaken!
The order came out decent quick, which is always a win in my book. Plus, the day we went, it wasn't too crowded, so score! But the real stars of the show? The FRIED CHINESE MOMOS (OMG!) and the Chur-Chur Naan (never thought I'd say this, but it might be even best of Naan's i had so far!).
Now, I'm a hard-core veggie, and let me tell you, their vegetarian dishes are CRAFTED. Every single flavor pops, reminding you exactly what went into making it so darn delicious. My non-veg friends were raving too, giving it a double thumbs up!
So, whether you're new to Raipur (like me!), sick of hostel food, or just cruising down the road and need a satisfying bite, Punjab's Tadka is your spot. Trust me, your taste buds and wallet will thank you. This place is a solid 4.5 out of 5 for service, taste, and variety. Multiple...

The sitting area is beside the counter and no one is available if you need something. Service needs a bit of improvement. Overall a good experience. The place is well maintained and also the hygiene is quite good, they kinda have an open kitchen so you can watch the kitchen from the counter. It is situated between the turning point chowk in shanker nagar and avanti bai chowk in a complex. Do visit if you're a nonveg lover. They have a vast menu including north indian, chinese, tandoor etc. I tried Chicken Keema Paratha and Chicken biryani. The portion was a bit less for the biryani. The paratha was a bit dry. The gravy with the biryani was very good and the masala in which the chicken of the biryani was cooked is also good.
Needs a little improvement in service all other...

Rice quantity was enough for 2 person,but even with premium biriyani very poor meat pieces(only 3..4 small pieces) too spicy.
Rotti and paneer lababddar was good...but paneer lababddar qty too less compared to the price...
Food waste dumped in Wash area ...
