Punjab House dundalk — Restaurant in The Municipal District of Dundalk

I rarely give a 5 star review after just one visit, but this is a no brainer! I have been getting take-aways from Punjab House for a few years now, but had never actually eaten in the restaurant until recently. Punjab House is located at the southern end of Park Street in Dundalk ton centre. There is ample parking nearby, and it is within a short walking distance from the local train station. Having gotten some take-aways from Punjab House, I had suspected that the food would be reasonably good, but I was simply blown away. Firstly, it is not a large restaurant, but it uses the space well, and no tables give the impression of a lack of space. I ate with a large group of friends, and we were catered for with no difficulty whatsoever. The staff and the service provided was simply second to none! Nothing was too much trouble, and yet at no point did we feel that the staff were over bearing. The menu is extensive, and where some places may do quantity over quality, this is certainly not the case here. Everyone got something different, and each dish was sublime. The wine menu is less extensive, but caters for any pallet. This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had, and I will be going back as...

Approiate number of covers - not sitting 'elbow to elbow' with other diners. Suitable lighting level - no dark corners. Pleasant traditional background music - doesn't prevent normal conversation. I found the staff well presented, extremely polite, attentive with pleasing table service and awareness regarding progress of meal. The menu, as expected, is within the usual range. My personal preference is for the milder choice of dishes from the menu. I was not disappointed, my food was delicious, prepared and cooked to perfection, served with ease and enjoyed in equal measure. I am unsure what exactly made the evening so enjoyable, any number of factors may have contributed. Perhaps I found the service, quality of food and overall ambiance a very welcome change. Also, the presence of senior family members working throughout the evening, may have contributed, there's much to be said for controlling the reigns of your own business as opposed to leaving things to chance. I would have no hesitation in...

The worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The food was disgusting cold, bland, and clearly not fresh. The service was beyond terrible. We were ignored for most of the time, and when we finally got the waiter’s attention, he was rude and dismissive like we were bothering him just by being there.

The atmosphere was awful weird smell, and the place felt neglected. But the biggest scam? The pricing. DO NOT trust the prices on their menu outside or online. They charge different prices for takeaway and dine-in, and it’s much more expensive when you sit inside. It felt like we were being tricked into paying double.

Avoid this place at all costs. Overpriced, underwhelming, and completely disrespectful....
