Sher-E-Punjab 2 — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

After reading many positive reviews I was excited to learn of a good Indian restaurant outside of Q1. Unfortunately after visiting this has proved untrue. From viewing the past reviews and pictures I can visually see the menu and cooking has changed. So where to begin...

The chicken Tikka masala, the curry was too thin, more like a homemade power blended marinara, than the rich indian curry I'm used to. I'm glad it wasn't sweetened as others I've eaten, but it was far too bland and lacking use of adequate spicing.

The naan. Also far too thin, but while I've had good thin naan before this naan ha no volume or layering at all, much like a thin unleavened cracker.

But I may have been most disappointed with the "JASMINE" rice which was merely vietnamese short grained rice! Worst off it was stale and tepid.

Wait staff, pleasant and attentive. You're not going to find other Indian restaurants in the area, but this one will leave you disappointed if authentic is what you're...

Reheated food, zero taste and poor service!

Do not eat there! The Indian waiter lied in person and said the food is not reheated when asked before ordering in the restaurant but all the dishes were reheated which killed all the taste, flavour and looked terrible. The bread (naans and chapatis) was average but it was expected. What is the point of large portions when the food is atrocious? The whole taste is weird. Takeaway option is available at no cost. Many options for vegetarians available.

The two chefs are from India and the waiters are Vietnamese but they are too young and inexperienced. The place, despite being clean with sufficient tables and chairs, has no vibe and no decor, except for their YouTube Bollywood playlists. Nothing close to India exists in this place. No service, no smile and not affordable. I won't recommend, even for takeaway. If you like and know your Indian food, choose elsewhere to avoid...

I will not visit again, for sure. I was a regular customer—my office is near the restaurant, so I often came here for lunch or dinner. However, I noticed many times that they always try to push more items just to increase the bill. This time, I ordered a samosa and an aloo (potato) naan—just something light, as I wasn’t very hungry. The bread was 40k. Later, I asked for one more of the same bread, but instead, the server brought me an aloo paratha. I told him I wanted the same naan, but he insisted, “This is good, eat this,” clearly just to raise the bill by another 10k. Crazy. When I saw the bill, I was surprised to see they added 8% VAT—which they never added before. Also, unlike most restaurants, they don’t even serve complimentary water. Some dishes here are good, but others are terrible. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. You’ve lost a regular customer, and I will also tell my friends not to...
