Punjab House — Restaurant in Kerala

I'd recommend using Google maps to find this sweet spot as it can be difficult to find but so are diamonds and that's exactly what this place is.

We walked down the alley that leads to the entrance and were greeted with a very busy, full restaurant with no seat available filled with locals eating away, a great indicator of what would be a happy belly!

Me and my girlfriend must of looked like a deer caught in the head lights as the owner Papu Uncle (not his real name but something that he is called as he is an older gentleman) welcomed us in and arranged seats for us, he seemed intrueged by our arrival and was surprised to hear that his restaurant was Trip advisor after asking how we knew about his restaurant. He told us that the place had been open for 54 years and introduced us to some of his longest standing customers (one of 40 years!). We were unsure what to order but Papu gave us his advice if the best dishes to get so we went with everything he suggested and we have no regrets what's so ever it was a culinary delight my mouth was tingling with the different flavours and textures!

The lassi here was probably the best lassi I have tasted anywhere in asia.

I could not recommend this place enough from it's warm welcoming atmosphere, to the stories shared by the regulars and lest we forget the amazing dishes served at a more than reasonable price! 220 INR for everything in the pic plus 2 lassi's ....I've spent more in McDonald's to put it into...

An Authentic Slice of North India in the Heart of Kochi!

Stumbled upon Punjab House quite by chance, and I’m so glad I did. Tucked away in a quiet bylane of Broadway, this decades-old gem is a haven for anyone craving authentic, home-style North Indian vegetarian food. Owned and run by a warm-hearted Punjabi family, the restaurant has been around since 1969 — a true testament to the love and loyalty of its patrons.

During my visit, I had Chapati, Channa Dal, Aloo Fry and Rice — simple, wholesome dishes, yet bursting with flavour. Each bite reminded me of a homemade meal, lovingly prepared and comforting to the core. The Channa Dal was perfectly spiced, the Aloo Fry had just the right crisp and seasoning, and the chapatis were soft and fresh off the tawa.

What makes Punjab House stand out is not just the food, but the soul behind it. Mr. Brahamdev, who now runs the place, carries forward his mother Pushpa Krishanlal’s legacy with sincerity and pride. The menu changes daily, just like at home, so there’s always something new to look forward to. Though the restaurant doesn’t serve tandoori or non-veg, the humble, vegetarian fare speaks volumes in terms of taste and nostalgia.

And of course, don’t leave without trying their legendary aloo paratha and lassi — both are unforgettable!

If you're in Kochi and looking for a taste of genuine Punjabi food, Punjab House is a must-visit. It’s not just a meal,...
