Indian Punjabi Restaurante — Restaurant in Viana do Castelo

Who would have thought there'd be an Indian restaurant in Viana Do Castelo and that too a good one... was beginning to miss Indian food after 25 days in Portugal. They certainly fulfilled the craving! Very good Indian food! For appetizers - ordered a samosa and pakoras - both were so good that we finished them before we could take a picture :). For entree, I got chicken tikka masala, which is supposed to be their speciality. It was so good, not the usual heavily cream based sauce but much lighter and the chef relied on the tastes of the veggies/spices to bring out the flavor - comparable to the top place in the SF Bay Area! I literally wiped it out with the garlic naan (which was also very good!). My wife got a curried seafood entree - she too commented how good the base gravy was. The service was friendly and attentive. They accept credit cards but most US credit cards will not work there so you must have cash. But the prices are very good - I think we spent only about 15 E per person! Authentic Indian food, highly recommend if you visit...

We are a family of 5 living in Amorosa, and we eat lunch and dinner here regularly. The food is absolutely some of the best Indian food we've eaten anywhere (in Europe and U.S.). Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong. We have too many favorites to list, but I recommend the murgh malai kebab, paratha (bread), egg rice, and the chicken tikka masala.

The family who runs Indian Punjabi Restaurante is super sweet and provides great service.

During lunch and dinner rushes you may wait a little longer than usual, but they do a great job keeping up while also never messing up an order. An added bonus when they're overly-busy: you can take a little time to drink a delicious...

The taste and quality of every meal has been incredible, flavorful, and enjoyable. We simply cannot get enough. This is why we keep coming back for more. We thrive on trying different menu items each time we dine here, and each time we are blown away by how amazing each experience is. We have been to several Indian resaurants in our lifetime. Without a doubt, Indian Punjabi Restaurante is the best that we have ever had. What is even more amazing is the affordability. We tend to always order two orders of naan, a bottle of wine, two orders of rice, and two entrees. We tend to pay 30 - 35 euros. If you live in the area, this should become a regular destination. If you are visiting, this should be on the top of your list for an awesome...
