Punjab House — Restaurant in London

My mother and entire family have been loyal customers of this restaurant for over 20 years and have recommended it to many friends in the past. However we will no longer be patrons of this establishment nor recommending it to anyone. My family went to dinner this evening with a party of almost 20 when my mother found a 1 inch screw in her mouth that came from her food. When she alerted the owners (whom recently took over)of this they were quick to tell her there was 'nothing loose in the kitchen' as though she had planted it there herself. Even more inconceivable is that they didn't replace the dish with a fresh one and instead left it on the table!?

Best Pakistani food ever! Authentic homemade and delicious as always. Really kind and friendly staff.

Overall: Great tasting, freshly made food, decent price and good service! Would definitely recommend and will likely become a regular!

Environment: somehow felt cosier than what the pictures portrayed even though it was exactly as how the pictures are.

Food: we ordered 2 portions of halwa puri and received 3 puris each with large portions of halwa (which was a sweet buttery semolina pudding) and chole (potato and chickpea curry) and some mango pickles.

The food was clearly freshly made and oh so delicious!

Service: friendly service

Price: £13 for the 2 large portions of halwa puri. We couldn’t even finish it and had to...
