  • 4/5 Swati Y. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 209 reviews
    They have a huge variety of options to choose from. We went there for chhole bhature, which was decent. It was black chana though, not chhole. And Bhature were huge, difficult for one person to finish. Then we had aloo gobhi and masala chap gravy with roti that were pretty good. Also had sweet lassi, gulab jamun and rabdi. Their rabdi is the best!!! Must try! Overall, food was nice. Ambience wise, they have a and non AC seating area. Good for family and friends type of place

    This place has damn good North Indian cuisines. The paratha is so yum and so huge. We had Angara handi panner as one of the gravy and it was heavenly. Once tasted will never forget the taste. 100% vegetarian and hygiene. The ambience is great too. The way its designed to give you a little feel of sitting on train is cool. Definitely one of the best veg restaurants.

  • 1/5 Dharm S. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 77 reviews
    Really poor quality food and I came from Bangalore and I have tried every Panjabi food for 2 years and when I visited Coimbatore I was searching for north Indian restaurant and I travel 3 kms from my hotel stay for this restaurant and I came because of good reviews but I have no idea why this restaurant have good reviews because I just went 1st time and ordered vegetables sizzling rice and what they given you can see in image attached and rice was not cooked well and all the vegetables and rice was hard to eat and no salt feel like fried rice only and I would say street food fried rice is much better than this and price was 260 rs which is not at all acceptable because it’s feel like 60/80 rs fried rice feel.And I told guy for parcel because I was disappointed with this and he asked sir you didn’t liked it ? Then I told no but it’s okay because I don’t want to disrespect food so then I told you can do parcel and then I also ordered kaju mutter Makhan which is also not acceptable and same like fried rice not cooked well and matter was very hard to eat and no salt and there is no Makhan in it and main thing is price was 280 rs again and getting 100 rs curry feel and dal tadka also not good and feel like normal dal and no salt again and that was also 210 rs something and I would suggest go to street food it’s much better than this and my drop point was I have done parcel so I had food at my hotel and put it in to dustbin because if I eat that food then definitely my health will be worse so please don’t mind but this is my genuine review which I faced as first customer to your restaurant so I won’t recommend anyone to go here and I would suggest go to Annapurna restaurant where I always go because it’s very close to my hotel stay and food quality is just amazing I would say curry,Daal, everything is just great and I went this restaurant many times but my bad luck that this time I picked wrong restaurant and regret about it and I won’t visit again and hope after my this review they may improve their cooking and also healthy food. And I have paid total 950 rs which is full of waste for me and put in to dustbin.

  • 5/5 Goutham R. 2 years ago on Google
    There were too many varieties of Parathas to choose from. Someone who's more used to consuming North Indian style of food, would definitely recommend this Restaurant. It has most of the items covered. For someone who's South Indian who is more into spicy stuff, I would recommend him to choose wisely, rather than going with Parathas, but no harm in trying, you might end up liking that style too. Taste is good and items are moderately priced. Ambience is decent.

  • 4/5 Sailesh B. 2 years ago on Google
    It is good place for punjabi food. Through a little pricey, the food is great. Ambience is okayish for the price but definitely recommended for good Punjabi food. Their parathas can be shared easily by 2 light eaters along with starters ofcourse. Their starters are also served in good quantity ( adequate for 4-6 people)

    The place is neat and clean. The staff are friendly and speak hindi. They have a fair idea about the food and their recommendations can be good. We ordered rajma chawal which was ok, thali was good. But poori aloo was the best. Not very cheap nor expensive.

  • 5/5 Girish Runnesh J. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 13 reviews
    The Punjab Express is a vegetarian restaurant with a unique train compartment theme. The ambiance was delightful and reminiscent of a nostalgic train journey. The menu featured predominantly Punjabi dishes and Indian bread varieties , and I was pleasantly surprised to find Jain options as well. The taste of the food was absolutely fantastic, leaving my taste buds satisfied and craving for more. Staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend Punjabi Express to all vegetarian food lovers seeking delicious Punjabi cuisine with a twist.

    Never once failed. Taste is purely authentic North Indian, especially the paranthas and rotis. Their raita is just yummy. 1 parantha can keep your mouth shut for a long time, it's so big. Loved their service since forever ♾️

    A very nice and quiet place . The food here is a gourmets delight . Food is catered in a way it suits your taste buds and if you are not sure of the menu you can consult the waiter who would choose the right dish for you. You are quickly served with ample quantity . With a very kind owner and her son keeps a careful eye to ensure all the guests are properly taken care . Over all its a great place. Note : location on Google map is wrong . It is located to your left in a small complex next to karur Vysya bank .

    You would like it if you like authentic Punjabi food. I liked most of the items. It is certainly on the expensive side, especially if you consider the ambience there. There are better vegetarian places around for this cost.

    A train theme restaurant.. food pricing is on higher side.. otherwise taste is superb..

  • 5/5 S PRAVEEN K. 1 year ago on Google
    The food at this restaurant is exceptional, particularly the North Indian dishes such as naan kulcha and butter gravies. The quality of the food is so good that I am tempted to visit Coimbatore just to eat here again. The hospitality at this restaurant is noteworthy, especially the lady at the billing counter who greets customers with a warm smile and ensures their orders are promptly delivered. Overall, it is an excellent choice for anyone looking for authentic North Indian cuisine.(parking might be a little cumbersome)

  • 1/5 Karthik P. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 3 reviews New
    One roti cost 40 rupees and one paneer butter masala cost is 240 rupees... The quantity or quality does not justify the cost... You can get much better deal in small restaurants for this rate ...

  • 4/5 MURALI K. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Villager 7 months ago on Google
    Situated almost at the end of East TV Samy Road on the left side and very near to the signal. It is located on the first floor of an inside building. Lift was available. They have a train compartment as the theme for their restaurant. Seating is also 3Γ—3 in the ac room/compartment. Had Meri thali and Deluxe Express thali. Both were good. Quantity was enough. The taste was good. The service was fine. The price is little on the higher side. Will visit again for dinner to taste other items. Literally no parking for cars. Need to park somewhere else and come here. Will meet your expectations.

  • 4/5 KISHORE K. 9 months ago on Google
    Food not at the best according to the price but good not that great, need to improve the spices, masala papad was good. Surely will try again after a month.

  • 4/5 Arun S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the authentic Punjabi restaurant in the town. The taste is authentic and price is also OK. Adequate quantity for 2. They have combos and lunch menu options. They provide pickled chily which is very tasty. Panner is very soft. At last punjabi meal does not end with with Lassi, which is very tasty. One issue is the parking for four wheeler. You need to manage parking on your own.

    Visited the restaurant on 10th March 2023. The ambience was good, could have been better. The food quantity and quality was awesome. Starters especially was served in good quantity. If one wants to have good parathas and delicious gravies; then it is definitely a worthy restaurant to have food.

    If you are craving for North Indian food while in Coimbatore then this is the place. Pure Vegeterian and JAIN food (without onion and garlic) also available. Very supportive staff and owner.

  • 4/5 Sathyan S. 3 years ago on Google
    I was casually scrolling through the Google Maps Updates section, when I happened to spot this restaurant. Intrigued by their train based theme I decided to check them out with my family. Spotting them from the road could be a bit difficult without the help of maps. They have got parking for 2 wheelers and if you're lucky you could occupy the parking space which could accommodate just one car. If not, you would have to park it by the roadside. First Impressions : Pleasant Ambience. Definitely a good place for a calm outing with family and friends alike. Affable staffs. We tried out the nouvelle Badam soup and Momos soup. They were pretty good. The mixed Tikka platter was pretty wholesome and we had varieties of Mushroom, Panneer and Potato served as part of the platter. Kulchas, Naans and Romali Rotis were simply good. Matter Masala and Malai Kofta turned out to be great as well. Punjabi restaurants usually serve large portions of gravy, comparatively the quantity served were slightly less (definitely the quantity wasn't very less). Lassi was little less thicker than how they are generally in Punjabi restaurants. On a general note, we felt that the dishes were tweaked to suit South Indians slightly compromising on the authentic Punjabi taste. I would recommend the place to everyone who wants a try a new North Indian restaurant.

  • 5/5 Nirmal Roshan R. 1 year ago on Google
    The train setup was good and the ambience was perfect for families. The dishes were as good as we expected but the price was a little higher. Overall it's a good place to have North Indian food in Coimbatore.
