    Worst Buffet Ever!!! Stitch pin was found on the food. Fortunately, it was seen before getting into the mouth. No taste in any foods. Chicken items were all dull. And look the price of beer!

    $22 per plate buffet morning or evening. Food 🍱 will show lot of variety but taste wise it was below average. We had vegetarian 🌱 food 🥘 not sure about the taste of non-vegetarian s. Being a tourist place and at the junction lot of people visit here however Dosa junction had better taste. If you go inside you have to eat the food so many staff ppl will come and hold you hard to run away 😀

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Punjabi Hut, located near Niagara Falls State Park and opposite the USA-Canada Rainbow Bridge. This North Indian restaurant exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to share my wonderful experience. First and foremost, their food was exceptional. The Masala Tea was simply divine, with the perfect blend of spices that warmed my soul. The buffet spread was a feast for the senses, offering a delightful array of North Indian delicacies. From the aromatic curries to the flavorful tandoori dishes, every bite was a true delight. During my two-day visit to the city, I found myself returning to Punjabi Hut daily, from breakfast to dinner. The consistent quality and authentic flavors made it an irresistible choice. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to visit the city again, and Punjabi Hut will undoubtedly be at the top of my list. If you're seeking a North Indian culinary adventure near Niagara Falls, this restaurant is an absolute gem. Don't miss out on the opportunity to indulge in their mouthwatering offerings.

    Went today to this place. Really horrible and stale food. Everything was stale. Chana masala had no Chana. Chicken curry had no taste of spices. Charged $65 for three buffet. We hardly ate 1. When provided review to owner I think he charged double and for parking also In such a place where tourist visit and expect fresh food, reviews are not welcomed. Will not refer this place to anyone .

    We first stopped at the Tandori place across the street but when I watched how careless and sloppy they filled something on the buffet we left. If they were like that out in front of the customers, what where they like in back handling the food? So glad we changed! Very friendly staff and the food was all amazing! Very delicious and authentic. We had the buffet and left stuffed. I highly recommend! As for the negative reviews about the staff, we had a very positive interaction!

    I’ve been here over 4 years ago and at that time I didn’t do reviews but it was amazing that I never forgot about this place. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this is at the top for sure. Small place but the food has a strong punch. The food is cooked fresh and very tasteful. The smell, spices and the color brings out the best of the dishes. The chicken curry is awesome but my favorite is the chicken biryani, so DAM GOOD, especially the color and flavor. You have to stop by, all others in surrounding area I’m sure it’s good but not when you actually try it here. One of the best. Staff has been friendly. I truly recommend this restaurant.

    Decent place to have Indian food. At first I thought price of the food is a bit high but when I recieved my foods I was pleasently surprised to see food portions. There were more then enough food and it was tasty. Although the place was a buffet they took our seperate order . The stuffs were fiendly and very cordial.

    Best Indian food in the Niagara Falls area. Right in front of the Canadian border and a short walk from Niagara falls. The food here was exceptional and the staff was nothing short of amazing. They accommodated us with jain food for one of our party members which was exceptional in presentation and in taste. The dinner buffet and additional main course dishes we ordered were amazing and most of all authentic. There is nothing lacking in this restaurant and it is a must visit for authentic and amazing Punjabi Indian cuisine in the Niagara Falls area.

  • 1/5 Gopal S. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited here last week. Had a bad experience. Although the service was good and food was ok, Owner was outright arrogant and seems doesn't care about his business or customer. We ordered parathas from an old menu in which prices were not updated. When we went to pay the bill over the counter, we obviously thought it didn't sum up. Also he added some side items(pickles and curd) in the total which we didn't had. He replied with such arrogance that we can take $5 back for these items.. I told him, i gave you $10 tip and you can keep your $5. I don't know how can one run a business with such bad demeanor.

    This place doesn't stop me from surprising. I have been eating here everytime I visit Niagra. They have maintained the taste of the food and most importantly it is real Indian food and not like so many food trucks around who claim to cook Indian food but in real that turns out to be not so great. Lunch Buffet over here at Punjabi hut has multiple options of veg and non veg along with Gulab jamun. And, what a gentle man that sardar uncle jee!!!! God bless him and God bless Punjabi hut. Will visit 100 more times.

    Find this place right by the maid of the mist boat tours. A decent Indian buffet restaurant with many options to choose from. Don't forget to try their desserts! Halwa and kheer were amazing! Paneer and chicken entrees were decent too. Overall, a decent buffet place.

    Worst service ever in all the surrounding areas. When you go over there they give you the menu and told you that you can order only once.Not more.just like one way journey towards the hell. Moreover the fatty round shaped bulldog faced waiter show their real character with harshness and rude attitude. They show discrimination like they serve lassi in paper cup but other table they serve full of glass. Worst indian food I ever test.Thank you.

    We ordered for chikken tikka and peas pulav with a roti and it was just amazing. Mildly sweet and spicy. The rating on google is not fair, punjabi hut should be rated 4.5 and flavour of India is worst hence it should be rated 3

    The Punjabi Hut offers an authentic taste of Punjab in every bite. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance. The menu boasts a wide variety of Punjabi dishes that cater to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian palates. I started my meal with their delicious samosas, perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with flavorful spiced potatoes. For the main course, I couldn't resist ordering their butter chicken, which was rich, creamy, and packed with spices that danced on my taste buds. The naan bread was soft and served piping hot, making it a perfect companion to soak up the flavorful gravies. The Punjabi Hut's commitment to using fresh ingredients was evident in every dish, and the portion sizes were generous. The staff was attentive, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Whether you're a fan of classic Punjabi dishes or looking to explore new flavors, The Punjabi Hut is a must-visit. It's a hidden gem that delivers authentic Indian cuisine that will leave you craving for more.

    We went in the morning for a buffet, just for $21 per person. From appetizers to main course to dessert, everything was mouth watering and freshly prepared. I love the vibe, location and music, gave me real Punjab (North-Indian state) feels. Highly recommended. Full marks for hygiene. Super close to the state park, a perfect spot to treat your taste buds before troubling your feet.

  • 5/5 Sudhanshu S. 8 months ago on Google
    There food is so much delicious and quantity with quality. it’s taste like real punjabi food. I suggest you that if you want real taste of butter chicken, lamb curry and dal tadka you have to try it here.

  • 5/5 K K. 9 months ago on Google
    Took a chance on this place after reading the reviews and I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the lamb Korma and it was super delicious. My children ended up loving my food and finished it in an instant 😅. The staff was super sweet and professional. I even received a complimentary white rice. Highly recommend!!!! If the negative comments were true, then they have worked hard to correct their mistakes. Loved it❤️❤️❤️

  • 1/5 Ramchandra S. 11 months ago on Google
    Pics says everything. Half Cooked veg pakoda, Chicken biryani with lots of capsicum, peas and sliced onions. Dahi raita arriving almost after finishing half the food. Will never again go to this place

  • 5/5 Shreya A. 11 months ago on Google
    By far the best Indian food I've had, someone said in the comments very homelike and I agree 100%. Taste was as if someone's mom has cooked the food. Very accommodating to every request, taste on point. Came with my family and they loved it.

  • 5/5 Patty T. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything was really good and the hospitality was exceptionally great specially Robin Singh and his father. Recommended butter chicken and highly recommended Choley and puri to die for. Indian tea was really delicious tastes like home. A must go place

  • 1/5 Sidharth N. 1 year ago on Google
    Owner and the cleaning lady staff was rude, no co-ordination or proper management for guests coming to have buffet. Food quality was below expectation in comparison to price. The restaurant has to seriously work on improving their food quality and management and improve guest experience!

  • 4/5 Sue P. 1 year ago on Google
    We were heading back to long island and wanted some samosas's for the road. I went in and they were so personable and a pleasure to deal with. The samosas were the best we ever ate. I would recommend them highly.

    The food was really good and tasty, looks like one of those authentic places! Not necessarily clean inside and restroom, but staff was really friendly!
