PUNJABI AFFAIR — Restaurant in Hyderabad

Punjabi Affair has been serving delicious and authentic Punjabi food in the city for over 6 years now. They have opened up again post the lockdown and I was invited here for a food tasting.

We started off with the soups - the vegetable soup and the chicken Manchow soup. Given that they are primarily a Punjabi the Chinese soups were decent. We then started off with the appetizers. The first one was the Paneer Tikka which is quite popular among vegetarians. We then had the Chicken Malai Tikka which was quite flavorful and marinated well with spices. The Tangdi Kebab was another appetizer that I really enjoyed. It had the hint of coriander and ajwain that added to the flavor profile.

Now let’s move on the main course. The main course was by far one of the best that I have had in terms of Punjabi food. The Dal Makhani was thick and creamy filled with the dal and spices that were slow cooked overnight. The butter chicken was quite good with a hint of sweetness and went well with the soft stuffed kulcha. The Patiala Chicken had delicious juicy chicken cooked and wrapped inside an omelette that was soaked in the flavors of the gravy. The Paneer Malai gravy was quite rich and has be enjoyed with the butter naan.

Last but not the least their Lassi is a must have. Served in a tall glass the thick lassi has flavors of saffron and garnished with crushed almonds. The food was definitely great but their service needs to be stepped up a notch. This should definitely be on your list if you savor...

Punjabi Affair, located in Hyderabad, offers a delightful culinary journey into Punjabi cuisine. The restaurant is known for its ample seating area and relaxed atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for many.

A highlight of their menu is the Patiala Chicken, which pairs exceptionally well with their butter naan. The Patiala Chicken is flavorful and satisfying, while the butter naan complements it perfectly. To complete the meal, the Patiala Lassi is a must-try; it's tasty and refreshing.

The ambiance of Punjabi Affair is decent, providing a comfortable dining experience. The service is fine, with staff attentive to customer needs. The restaurant maintains reasonable pricing, offering good value for money.

While many patrons have positive experiences, there have been occasional reports of inconsistent food quality. For instance, one reviewer mentioned being served an overly salty boneless chicken curry, which was replaced upon complaint but still did not meet expectations.

In summary, Punjabi Affair in Hyderabad is a commendable choice for those seeking authentic Punjabi flavors. Dishes like Patiala Chicken with butter naan and the Patiala Lassi come highly recommended. However, as with any dining establishment, experiences may vary, so it's advisable to visit and judge...

Only go if you have 3-4 hours free time. DO NOT ORDER ONLINE FROM HERE.

I have visited this place for more than 5 times. Not even once i got the order in less than 40-60 mins.

If you are ordering extra rotis, then another 20 mins. Cold drinks from fridge to your table they take around 15-20 mins. For soft drinks you have to keep reminding them 3-4 times.

3 out of 5 times the waiters have come confused with someone else's order and asked " ye order apka hai kya? ".

Even if the place is empty, the waiters will not allow you to sit wherever you feel like sitting.

Now, coming to online experiences..

If you are ordering food from swiggy or zomato, you are in for a toss.

If you are lucky, they will give your food to the right delivery guy, else they know swiggy and zomato initiates refund easily so the management is LEAST BOTHERED ABOUT ONLINE ORDERS.

Now, coming to the most dissapointing thing..the manager will not take any responsibility if you are facing any issues online.

His attitude is AAP BHAAD ME JAAO..MERA PAISA MEREKO MIL RAHA HAI!

Now Coming to the prices!!

I would just say that same quality food, same A/C ambience etc. is 500m away from this place with half the prices. ANGAARA RESTAURANT.

AGAIN! DO NOT ORDER ONLINE FROM...
