We had a mixed experience here. Went on Sunday evening craving for some Chole Bhature. Unfortunately, this punjabi place was not serving Chole Bhature. This was super disappointing.We ended up ordering Makkai Roti+ Sarsoon da Saag. It turned to be decent!The next order was a paneer paratha, which was really bad and had no taste at all.The starters we ordered took a lot of time but were cold when they finally arrived. The waiter didnt care at all when we brought this to his notice.Overall this was a downer. The ambience is decent. The service wasnt that great and the food was mixed, more bad than good!

Punjabi Times Is A Good Restaurant with the best ambiance.The ambience here is of punjab style hotelsOne can easily guess the ambience makes feel like sitting in Punjab.All the dishes NamesThe way they have deaigned their menu card, the way they made their ambience, the taste for all the food dishes.

Naan was very much similar to a rubber.One bite of the naan and a mouthful of exercise.I think this restaurant is taking care of people in there busy schedule because they know the temporal and mouth exercise is rarely taken care by people these days.Loved it.I will recommend this restaurant over cult.

We like North Indian food here. Whenever we go to Bangalore, my son wants to go there at least once for yummy food. Decent ambience and good service.

Taste of the food is ok. Except paratha and roti nothing else is meeting the Punjabi style and taste. Ambience is average. But the good news is they have buffet for lunch and it has lot of varieties. Tastes above average. Moderately priced. Plates and other items needs improvement. Valet parking is available.

Ambiance wise restaurant is good, food is just ok, not too many varieties. We went there very late around 2.15 pm, we all are very hungry, so it tasted good initially but later we realised the real taste. Mocktails are not at all tasty, which they gave as complementary. I am a vegetarian, so all this review is only for veg food. Main course is just average. Curd rice was not at all good. They have a live chaat counter too. Staff are quick and helpful.

I didnt like this place. They have very less variety of starters and main course was very average. Taste was also very average. We have better option than Punjabi times in Bangalore. I should give 2 star but 1 added Star is only for staffs behavior and ambience.

Nice ambiance inside the restaurant. Here, you can choose buffet or dine in. We can choose either of two. The buffet contains very less options for vegetarian people compared to non vegetarians. Also the food is just above average only.

Punjabi timesFor sure a mix bag for meFinally went to this restaurant with family for dinner .We were seated promptlyThen we choose to order the followingFood 2/5Tandoori veg platterThis has paneer tikka - not so Soft paneer for sure this is the regular refrigerated one.Tandoori aloo pretty okTandoori baby corn - burnt was sadFruit roll like pineapple pretty averageVeg sheekh was good perfectly cookedPriced at 550 this was a bit sad .Would say do not try the platter !Main coursePaneer Lahori - paneer curry cooked in cashew nut gravy on sweeter side but was descentMutton Nihari - this was the only saving grace - mutton shanks Cooke’s in spicy gravyWe choose 2 sets of phulkaAnd two tandoori Roti .Vegetable biryani( fun part the phulkaaaas second set never arrived - server started biryani and we only asked where us the second set of phulkaaaa they say it’s almost ready - choose your cancel it )Veg biryani was spicy and too mushy and a mix of par boiled veggies - beans and carrots are undercooked .The rice used was not of fine quality it was more of kuchdii to me than a Biyani .( they are not clear in few things - we ordered for Roti curry and phulkaaas and one biryani , they got biryani first along with Roti curry -Who on earth does this ?)When asked they just ran away !Service -1/5The staff needs clear cut training , clueless and not active .Just they work coz they are supposed to be there .We had to remind them for water too n times !Live music -5/5This was the saving grace the person singing has real good voice which is for sure soothing and adds charm to this place .Ambience -3/3Descent one with pretty good seating optionsDull lighting and some matkas and some bangles on roof elevate the ambiance.VFM - 3/5Prices are a bit expensive for fewNot impressive foodAnd chaotic service results in a NO for me.Will I come back - NO until unless they buckle up .

I visited this place on a Friday night to have dinner. The place is located on Outer Ring Road and is easily accessible. They do have a valet parking as well. Here is my perspective about the place.Food (4 out of 5) - Since, I visited in a big group, I was able to try many different dishes. In starters, my personal favorites were Khumb Dilwale (Mushroom stuffed with Paneer/Cheese and deep fried), Aloo Makai Sev Ki Tikki (The addition of sev gave it a unique and amazing taste). In Main Course, Dal Makhani and Kulchas were the highlight. Coming to desserts, Gulab Jamun with Rabdi and Kulfi stole the show. These are a must try if you are visiting this place.Ambience (4.5 out of 5) - As the name suggests, the ambience tries to depict Punjabi culture. They have dhols hanging on the wall and different alphabets of Punjabi language being imprinted on one wall. But the best part was the inhouse singer who sings retro melodious songs. So, you can enjoy old retro songs while having your dinner.Service (4 out of 5) - The staff was quite polite and courteous and took great care of us.I had a great time here. Those who would love to have some good punjabi food and drinks while listening to retro Bollywood songs should give this place a try.

Food here is tasty but be aware of their portioning, quantity of dishes is lower. . Ambience is okay but seemed to be due for a maintenance. Loved old hindi live karoake. Overall good dining experience.

Really the food is fabulous. All the chicken varieties are very very good. Expect that Briyani. I think its not pure Punjabi Briyani, thats a mess from them. Apart from dessert options are very less. And ice cream too. We can enjoy a meal not a complete Buffet. Its good for low budget Person with bulk peoples treat.

I only went for the restaurant part, The food tasted horrible, Murg lababdar kebab was not so good. Egg biryani was horrible, too spicy and green chillies burned my mouth while eating, expected Hyderabadi style biryani at this price, but it was plain, which you can get in cheap dhabas also.Only ambience is good, and the live singing concept and his Singing was Good.In terms of food, wouldnt prefer it, but then whats a restaurant without good food !

Awesome desi tadka to the lunch plan! This place takes you to the rich & glorious land of Punjab by its ambience and desi vibe! Even though the food doesn’t have the 100% authentic punjabi cuisine flavour but it’s still leaves you content and is far better than a lot of restaurants promising to deliver that. They make your dining planning absolutely hassle free by providing a nice spacious valet parking facility. Complimentary beer with the buffet just sets the mood high!

It was a team lunch on Thursday with 9 of us including our trainer who is from USA and started liking Naan a lot. This lunch was our hospitality that will be a good memory When he thinks of India. Hmmm too much story....Dont mind 😉------Food------ 4 🌟We ordered a lot of veg and nonveg items such asPaneer tikka masala, Mutter paneer, Dhingri mutter, Punjabi murg curry, Lahori murg. All were tasty. From Indian bread, we ordered Naan and butter naan. Naan was little thik but good in taste.At last we were served with Mango Shake, Mango lassi, sweet lassi and water melon juice.Mango lassi is a must try beverage.------Ambience----- 4.5 🌟I liked the place. It has nice pictures with Punjabi writings all over the wall. It has decorations with Punjabi village touch, specially the ancient crop watering tool.-----Service----- 4 🌟Service was as usually and good.-----Value for Money----- 3.5 🌟I find this restaurant costlier than others in same category.I recommend all food lovers to try out Punjabi Times for a different and good experience.

|| Sunday Dinner ||Went there last night in a group of 5 people for quick dinner.Ambience/Music: The ambience is nice. Gives a full Punjabi touch. The special part here is the live music. The singer is awesome and I loved his music. I just wish the lights were a bit bright.Staff/Service: The staff is extremely nice and polite. Quick in their service.Food: In food we ordered Chicken Tikka Alisan, Veg Seekh Kabab in starters. Liked the chicken starter but the veg starter was just okay. In main course we ordered Butter Naan, Chicken Rara and Chicken Tikka Lababdar along with Lassi, Coke and Jaljeera. I wish the chickens were a bit more tasty. I did not like the main course here much. Though starters and lassi were good.#PhoneCameraFoodLife #ChickenTikkaLababdar #ButterNaan #ChickenTikka #ChickenRara #VegSeekhKabab

I had a lovely end to a beautiful weekend with dinner at Punjabi Times. The live music is so good. The decor is pleasing and inviting and the staff is very attentive.

The food is good, and I mean really good! Both veg and non-veg options rock! The quantity is pretty amazing as well, and I definitely recommend the biryani despite it being a Punjabi place. Theres singing involved which can be quite pleasurable and buffet is also available (specific timings). While not strictly related, bars are also available pretty close by which makes this an ideal place to visit. Go check it out!

Good for north Indian food, cost is little more as per quality. When name comes Punjabi, expectation is also more, some items need to be improved, like fish Tikka, chicken bhatinda reduce tomato it was little sweet, sarson da saag was average, fry in sarson oil with garlic. Live music with old melodies. Service tax 7.5% can be removed after too costly price menu.

Dining experience spoiled by obnoxiously loud live music. Food was quite good, true Punjabi taste. The live music singers voice and choice of songs were good too. Problem was the loudness of his singing. We couldnt talk. When we complained to the manager, he plainly declined the request, stating that the singer wont be able to sing at any lower sound. Bad experience overall. I dont think Ill ever go back again there. I can order food online though. Food was tasty.

Nice place for dinner..Food is tasty and have variety of North Indian delicacies.They have live music which is a plus point. However, songs were quite old and did not match the mood or tone of the younger generation.You can also demand a song of choice.Place includes parking facility for 2 and 4 wheeler.Theres a ramp so wheelchair can be accommodated. Additionally the restaurant is located on the 3rd floor and has lift for convenience.The overall look of the restaurant seems to be traditional.

We went on a team lunch to this place on 19th of February, 2020. The first thing which I noticed after entering the restaurant is that it reeked of pesticide smell. Thats scary! Coming down to the food, the starters were okay at best. The fish was the best among all the mediocre non veg starters. Veg starters were relatively better. There were two welcome drinks which were good. The main course was pretty average too. Nothing out of the world. There were limited options for desserts as well. I would definitely advise against visitng this restaurant. There are better options nearby that too at a better price.

Food taste was pathetic. We ordered Mushroom masala which is medium spicy but they delivered the dish with sweet curry. When we complained, the service boy got it back and fried with red chilly and served again. Really??A very bad experience.

Punjabi times is pretty easy to locate.The interiors of the restaurant is pretty neat with a few installations here and there. The staff is friendly and the service is great.The food is priced a little on the higher side, but the quantity justifies it. And the taste is fairly good.The only draw back I felt was that the place was really mind numbingly loud. They had karaoke where people came in and sang songs which was actually irritating.
