Punjabi Rasoi — Restaurant in Delhi

👍 What works: Great variety of cuisines in one place: Apart from classic Punjabi/ North Indian fare, they also serve South Indian (e.g., masala dosa) and Chinese/Indo-Chinese dishes (e.g., hakka noodles, sweet-corn soup) which is a big plus for mixed company.

Some standout dishes:

The “Veg Noodle Soup” and “Hot & Sour Soup” for flavour.

The “Paneer Kali Mirch” and “Navratan Korma” are top dishes.

The South-Indian section is legitimately present: plain dosa, masala dosa, etc.

Decent ambience for family / group dining and good for a casual meal with coworkers or friends.

👎 What could be better:

Taste & value are a little inconsistent: the food is “okay-ish” relative to price.

Because they cover many cuisines, the focus on each may be less tight (for example, dosa might not match a specialised dosa place).

Service and waiting times during peak hours may vary (crowded-peak issues).

Pricing seems on the higher side for what one expects at a casual place in this area.

🎯 My recommendation: If you’re heading there, I’d suggest the following order:

Start with a soup: try their Hot & Sour Soup or Manchow Soup.

Go for a North Indian main: Paneer Kali Mirch or Navratan Korma are safe bets.

If you want something South Indian: their Masala Dosa is present on the menu.

For Chinese/Indo-Chinese: grab the Veg Hakka Noodles (or “Singapore Style Noodles” if available) and perhaps Veg Fried Rice.

Don’t forget bread/roti with the North Indian mains to balance.

For dessert or to finish: a classic like Gulab Jamun or seasonal Gajar Ka Halwa would work.

📌 Final verdict: Good choice for a mixed-cuisine vegetarian outing with colleagues, friends or family in Rohini. Not ultra-premium, but comfortable, versatile and reliable enough. Would rate it 3.5 out of 5 currently and would visit again with clear...

I honestly cannot understand what Punjabi Rasoi is trying to do with their pricing. Spending 400 rupees and getting just 2 pieces of chaap feels nothing less than a day-light robbery. Chaap is supposed to be hearty, filling, and value for money. Here it felt like I had just paid a premium price for a sample portion. To make things worse, not even basic accompaniments like sirka onion or chutney were given. Anyone who has grown up eating proper North Indian food knows that sirka onion is not an optional add-on, it’s part of the experience. Skipping that while charging this much makes the whole meal feel incomplete.

Punjabi Rasoi has always had the reputation of being a strong brand name in North Indian dining, so expectations are naturally high. But when a customer pays 400 rupees for something as simple and everyday as chaap, the least they should get is proper portion size, standard sides, and a feeling that the money was well spent. Instead, the experience leaves you feeling short-changed and disappointed.

What really hurts is that the taste is actually decent, but the quantity and overall experience completely ruin it. A brand that positions itself as a go-to for authentic Punjabi food should respect the basics. Portion size, pricing, and accompaniments are non-negotiable. Right now, it feels like they are exploiting their name recognition while cutting down on quality and customer value.

I hope Punjabi Rasoi takes this feedback seriously because people don’t mind paying good money when they feel the food and service justify it. But charging ₹400 for 2 small pieces of chaap without even the basic onions or chutney makes you wonder if this is about food or just about...

Punjabi Rasoi is one of the oldest and successfully running restaurant in the area serving North Indian food. They have maintained the same taste and services for more than a decade.

Recently visited them on Saturday for dinner and was amazed by the food and services.
