***UPDATE**** Ok, still totally AMAZING! Went back last night as our first meal in town while visiting my parents, and wow, this food is ridiculously good. I even got a few photos this time! Not of everything because, well, we couldn’t help ourselves ;) Go here now! Pro Tip: if you are planning to dine in, arrive before 7pm. While they close at 8, they seat the last table at 7! EAT HERE NOW! Coming into town for the weekend, we knew we had to grab some Indian food. After reading a number of reviews and checking out photos, we landed on Punjab Tandoori Grill, and what a great choice we made! My boyfriend Abe called ahead and were told the kitchen would close in 30mins so we rushed out the door to grab a table. We walked in to an empty (thanks pandemic) but clean restaurant. The bubbling fountain at the entry was inviting and the sports game playing drew my boyfriend in to a table close up. A nice guy was helping someone with a pick up order but greeted us and invited us to take any table we wanted. We later learned his name was Vic. He was generous and friendly. Grabbing menus, we settled in while we waited the rest of our family to arrive. I have traveled extensively to northern India, and knew exactly what I was craving for dinner! The family meal was a great price and offered some of the dishes I was already planning to order. Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Samosas, & Naan. These are all a yes! After Vic recommended a few dishes, we added on the Goat Vindaloo and the added on the Dal. A few King Fishers were also ordered, then we sat back to watch the game, wait for our family and our food. Right away Vic brought out the Samosas, complete with tamarind and mint chutney. These 4 big beautiful samosas were steamy hot, and packed full of the traditional potatoes, peas and carrots. The spice mix was pure perfection, the BEST I have ever had. While we were distracted with mouths full of flavor, the tandoori chicken and butter chicken arrived. The Tandoori chicken was perfectly spiced, sitting top sautéed red bell peppers and onions, with a bit of lemon for brightness, great flavor that was not Overpowering. Crispy and tender, this melted in your mouth. The Butter Chicken dish was perfectly flavored and reminded me of my travels. No twist, traditional and filled with love. Chicken was delicate and moist. The chef brought us a taster of a dish he had recommended but that we didn't end up ordering, Malai Chicken. This chicken dish is top on our list for next time because it was so good! Our goat vindaloo was succulent, rich and packed with flavor, again just as it would come out of a momma’s kitchen. Just as we finished our 4th basket of naan, the chef brought out a small plate of Fish Pakora for us to try! What a nice gesture! The fish was again perfectly seasoned and cooked exactly as you would want it, soft, flaky and warm. Our kids could not get enough of these dishes, and asked if we would come back tomorrow! We ended up talking more with Vic and his father came out of the kitchen as well to share with us as well. They are literally the nicest people who shared their family recipes with us tonight. We were so full and so happy that we picked Punjab Tandoori Grill for our family meal tonight! If you are looking for a fantastic dinner served with love by great people, this is THE PLACE! *no photos of share because we ate this amazing food way too fast to get a picture in!

Today we went to visit Oroville Dam and on our way back we stopped by this restaurant in Yuba City. Punjab Tandoori Grill is the best and the most authentic north Indian i ever ate in past 25 years. Best Amritsari Onion Kulcha i had ever. Malai Kofta was soft and tested awesome. Overall best food, great service, clean place. Kitchen and bathroom was very clean. I live about 1 hour away but i will be going back soon. I highly recommend this restaurant if you ever want to have north Indian food.

GREAT FOOD! We had the veggie pakora that where flavorful and crunchy w/ yummy sauces. The tandoori chicken was some of the tender and juiciest I’ve ever had. It had a yummy spicy and the seasoning was throughout the meat, excellent. We ordered the butter chicken mild but still had wonderful rich flavor and a slight kick. They offered us a sample of the Malai Chicken (last pic), which the chef called their “signature dish” (something not offered at other Indian restaurants) and it was fantastic. It had a slight lemony flavor, juicy (not spicy) and quite delicious. Definitely will have to order it next time. The Malai chicken is perfect for both Indian food lovers and reluctant goers (like my husband who enjoyed it greatly).

My husband & I tried Punjab Tandoori for the 1st time and I am so glad that we did. This restaurant is the best Indian food in town! The food is so tasty and fresh! The restaurant is spotless and clean. The staff is hospitable & friendly. I could go on and on. I recommend Punjab Tandoori 100% and will definitely be returning. I wish I would’ve taken more photos, the food was beautiful & presentable.

We recently moved from NY to Yuba City for work and were looking for an Indian restaurant to fill our craving. Parents were visiting, and 4 of us decided to come here. We met Vik, down to earth owner and chef who grew up in yuba city. We had his tandoori chicken, buttered chicken, chicken saag, goat curry, and 2 orders of garlic naans. Tandoori chicken was our favorite. Vik says he marinates them the night before with 14 spices. Let me tell you the chicken melted in our mouths, bursting with intricate flavors. Goat curry was stood out. It was delicious with amazing flavors and meat tender. Vik was awesome enough to sample his malai chicken, which he said is one of the most popular dishes. It did not disappoint and will def come back to order that in the future. Happy we found our go to Indian place in yuba city!

I’ve been meaning to come here for a long time. I will definitely frequent this place. The flavors made my mouth sing. The service is warm snd welcoming I had to have a favorite. Samosas. Curry goat, naan. And the owner brought me a sample of his malai chicken. Wow!!! Just wow!!

Hands down some of the best Indian food i’ve had! came out fresh and Hot… flavor was not disappointing either. I’d recommend everyone to try this place at least once cause you’ll go back. oh, let’s mention how clean the place was and waitress and cooks service was great!

foods delish. had chicken chili and tikka masala servers are super nice. food took a a lil to come out but still worth it

We ended up here by chance. After our days hike at Tabletop Mountain, we mapped an Indian restaurant which was closed for a private party. Next search result chosen was this restaurant. I'm so glad we had a chance to dine here. You could tell that the food was prepared with love. Loved every bite of everything we ordered. Definitely check it out.

Tried because of all the reviews, I must say they must be all fake or people have never had Indian food. Place was empty and food was atrocious. Prices were $4 higher when they charged us, and bill came out to about $80, overpriced for below average food. Dessert we ordered, was even worse. Go to an Indian grocery store and get dessert as it would be 100x better. Good luck to the owners, hopefully they see this is as constructive criticism and fix their mistakes.

Met some friends for lunch here a couple weeks ago. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and appetizers . I think it was the best Indian food that I've ever had.i had the Malai Chicken, it was moist and delicious. The owner and his father both helped us with super friendly service. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful food and service. Highlights: anything from the tandoor (fish was very good), malai chicken is excellent, saag and kulcha.

This place blows my socks off!! All the aroma and flavors are out of this world!! Very friendly service!! Beautiful dishes. The food here is art!

Stopped in for dinner while in town for work. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Cooked fresh and the blends of seasonings were just so good. Our server was very friendly and helpful when suggesting food options. Try the mango lassi! Towards the end of the meal the owner/ chef came out to talk to us and was also very friendly. Loved this place, will definitely make it a point to come back!

Wow! This restaurant is amazing! The staff is so attentive and friendly. JP was our waiter and he was fantastic. Vic the chef came to our table to see how we liked our meal, and made suggestions for what to get next time. Vic’s passion for his craft of cooking is apparent and you can taste the love in every bite. Can’t wait to go back to try more dishes.

We tried Punjab Tandoori and have to say, it's amazing. The butter chicken and chicken masala is off the hook. Even the simple rice is flavorful. The fried fish has the most unique flavorings and cooked to perfection. Not oily or over cooked. Naan also on point. Samosa are packed with flavor yum. Service❤️ love Veronica. She's so sweet. If you haven't tried this place your missing out. My mouth was happy with the flavors of the food. Yes highly recommend. I wish we were local. I would eat here everyday if I could.

We love this place. Food is always consistent and delicious. They remember us when we go there and our favorite dishes. It has been our go to place for the last year. Recommend it to anyone that likes Indian food - definitely check them out!

Best Indian food in town! Owner Vick is unique, always friendly, kind hearted, caring, loving and always serves with a smile. You can see his heart, and love for cooking with such delicious flavors. Food is always on point and taste fresh.He never fails!! If you haven’t been here yet, you’re definitely missing out ….

We have many Indian restaurants in our area but this one beats them all. I have never had anything that didn't taste wonderful. They treat you like family are great with helping you pick out something in case you aren't familiar with Indian food and it's always clean which I really appreciate. I have tried just about everything on the menu and love it all. But I especially love what they've done with the wraps. it's my go to when I'm busy and need to pick up something quick

Amazing food! Great service! Love this place! Everyone should try them out! Don’t forget to try the Indian beer …it’s super refreshing! ♥️

I live in la and I heard about this place and I finally I got to come in and try there food it’s really amazing and I highly recommend this place . The server was really great Priya took care of me. Coming back here again for sure with family.

Their food taste pretty good, no complaints there. There is one time where the order took a little longer than usual, perhaps some sort of mix up, the staff did apologize and accommodated us nonetheless so the service was good. Atmosphere of the place does fit that of an Indian cuisine establishment, tables and booths were good, nothing wobbly or uncomfortable. Overall place is good.

Friendly service and Delicious food. Every dish was flavorfull and we will definitely be returning!

This was first time ever having Indian food. And I was not disappointed one bit. The food was very flavorful and the service was 10 start along with the food. The owner vick who is also the head cook came a few times to check on me and wife. We will definitely be back. To try more great food on the menu.

My wife and came from out of town and was looking for something with vegetarian options. This was an absolutely amazing find. The food was incredibly flavorful and fresh. We went with the chefs recommendations and it was perfect. Next time we are in town we will definitely go back!

The food is very fresh, flavorful and very, very good! The chili chicken, Eggplant Masala were Fantastic. The service was warm & attentive. We’re definitely making this family restaurant one of our regular haunts!
