With over two decades of exploration in Punjabi bar & grills, I've observed the evolution of this cuisine trend, from its beginning’s to its current popularity. Regrettably, my outing to Soho Tavern failed to meet even the most modest expectations. Soho Tavern's offerings rank among the lowest in the realm of Punjabi mixed grill restaurants in my opinion. The authentic flavors of Punjab seem to have vanished, replaced by dishes lacking the depth and richness of earlier times. It's disheartening to witness the growth of new grill establishments, only to serve disappointing and uninspired food. While the portion sizes at Soho Tavern are adequate, and the recent makeover has enhanced the ambiance, the same cannot be said for the food. The excessive emphasis on grilling has overshadowed the curries, leaving them empty of the vibrant flavors I once cherished. Overall, the dishes at Soho Tavern fail to capture the true essence of Punjabi cuisine. The lingering unpleasant aftertaste of the curries add further to the disappointment. Despite granting them the benefit of the doubt after reading many negative reviews, this visit proved to be the last for me. The service was also below average. Thus, I can only assign Soho Tavern a mere 1 star, hoping others may avoid a similar culinary letdown.
