Apna Punjab Indian Restaurant — Restaurant in Bloomfield

Went in at noon on Friday for their buffet. Food was wonderful. Finely spiced and each dish tasted different. They let the spices speak instead of salt. Now, the service. I was the ONLY person in there from noon until 12:50pm and that darned server never once stopped talking to someone on the phone through his ear piece. What I really hate is he's a walker. You know the type that has to pace the entirety of the space quickly while talking? He spoke only 2x to me. "Nan?" "$16.00" When I first arrived he did say "water" and pointed to the display case. Later, I thought, I bet there's a charge for that bottle so asked for water in glass with ice. Now, I know what it's like to have aa family member from the ancient days run a business. They think leaving 5, I counted them, light bulbs turned off over the buffet table is somehow going to save the business. In my case, when I took over our business and turned on the lights in another room people thought I added on! Anyway, the place was already depressing since no one was in there but me, but...come on...maybe if you lit the place up people wouldn't just walk on by. Oh, yes, I did use the restroom.....what I expected, damp, musty, overwhelmed with chemical sprays to cover up the musty smells. It makes me wonder.......how's the kitchen. With all that said I want to reiterate the food was very good. It was hot, well seasoned, tasty and nicely laid out. Come on guys.....I think it's time to let the younger family members take over. : ) ON that note. It doesn't take much to brighten the place. Buy some LED can lights and make them bright. Yes, you'll spend a bunch at first. But those lights will last forever and you'll eventually save money too. Get the music to play only music, turn it down a bit, no people singing, just nice music. Get one of those folding placards out front on the sidewalk to advertise your buffet. It's in the window but so is a bunch of other stuff. And stop the guy from racing all over the space talking on the phone. Best of luck, your...

My very first time with my Family and it was completely Empty. It was right after Lunch cause Lunch is from 1130 to 430pm. We got seated at 428pm. Only one worker who barely even smiled and another one who just sat behind the counter in the front. The Food was Good 👍 Tasteful. The portion size was descent.. The Bottle of Soda 2 litter, we Got CHARGED $4.95🤯 I had never got charged $5 at a restaurant for a 2litter Soda. So we Got Ripped Off.. The Taxes was also $4.95. Our Bill was suppose to be $60 and it Came out to Be $70 and Got the Nerved to Try 2 Over change Us #SMH. I will Not Be Returning Back and DONT EVEN RECCOMMEND OUR FRIENDS/FAMILY FOR THIS SPOT. We were handed the bill and the guy got the nerves to Stand by The Table Rushing Us To Pay 😡 it wasn't even the same guy who took Our Order.. The guy made us Feel like we wasnt going to pay our bill.. Really inappropriate!! They Never Offer Us Container to pack Our Food. U have to ask for Container!! The plastic cups they gave us-U can see finger prints on it and It wasn't even Regular drinking cups. We wasn't even Offer Any ICES for Our Soda neither. Will NOT BE RETURNING BACK AT ALL... MY EXPERIENCE WAS HORRIBLE!! they Need Better CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS. They also need to learn how to clean off the table as well when they see dishing...

What and excellent experience in flavors and foods. Raita, Naan, peshwari naan, chicken korma, and chicken tikka masala was ordered. A heap of rice was brought with the entrees and shared with the table. I also had an Indian tea. Spiced tea with cardamon, cloves, and cinnamon. A bit of cream or maybe coconut milk too. What a heavenly meal. The blends of spices and flavors. The subtleness of some were still able to be tasted without wing overpowered by others or the “heat” of other spices. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend you keep a takeout menu and mark your meals so you can remember what you had and order different things each visit. I even brought a second cup of Indian tea home. Disappointed it was in a plastic 1/4# container rather than a takeaway cup with lid so I could drink it on my way home. The dining area is large with several banquet spaces. Men’s Restroom lights flicker like that of a Saw movie, but are clean. The house lights flicker often too, which is quite distracting, but overall, a wonderful experience. (I think their dimmer switch is overloaded to be honest. Not all light fixtures are designed to be connected to a dimmer.) The fifth star ⭐️ will be earned if they get takeaway cups for beverages and fix their lighting. Otherwise, really is...
