This is a non-vegetarian restaurant located at Rajpur Road, Dehradun. This place has some really amazing-tasting(sic) curries to choose from. The taste is really good for the price as it is not too expensive. If you are here for the first time, you should definitely try the Afghani chicken.

The food is cooked in a lot of oil and is mostly quite spicy. The menu is not updated with the right price, the bill mostly charges higher. Fare is on the expensive side (a bowl of plain rice costs INR 240). Overall, the value for money is low.

The staff is well mannered and helps with everything possible. The food usually tastes good, but, in some instances I felt it couldve been better. Their tandoor is excellent.

There are tons of restaurants in Dehradun with highly inflated menus, and dishes that taste not so great. This restaurant is an exception. The food is absolutely amazing, and the prices are fair. The ambiance of the restaurant is also great. Plus, they do free home delivery too!

Just spotted this place on the main road of Dehradoon while shopping from Ellora. We decided to have a quick lunch. The place was deserted in lunch so we were surprised. However when the food arrived it was amazing and the service was extremely fast. The place is good for authentic punjabi food and has good variety too. Loved the overall experience and yes, very genuine prices as well.

Review №37

We ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Palak Kofta, Pineapple Raita and Onion Kulcha in this restaurant. The gravy of both the vegetables was good but the Paneer and Kofta were very hard and should have been a bit softer. The Onion Kulcha was nice in taste. The taste of pineapple Raita was good but the quantity of Raita was very less. We have never seen such less quantity in any restaurant.As for the ambience,it was average. The service was fast and the items were served quickly. But the waiters were a bit inexperienced and didnt know how to serve at the tables. Overall,it was an average experience at the place.

Visited this place many a times with family. It is located on the first floor on the main busy road called Rajpur Road, connecting Dehradun and Mussoorie. Being Tourist place and located in the main shopping area of Dehradun this road is very busy during summer and winter (after snow fall) tourist seasons. Parking is difficult.The sitting space in the Restaurant is fairy addecuate to accommodate 25 to 30 people.The quality of food and the service is quite good.

The Punjabi Essence is a fine dining Restro located just opposite St. Josephs Academy and above Canara Bank. Though it has good ambience and staff, but not the food and specially the north indian cuisine is not worth it. We had Handi Paneer (full of onions & less of paneer), Dal Makhani (was fine), Garlic Naan (no taste of garlic & too much orange colour on it) Missi Roti (not at all crispy) and Veg. Biryani (the worst Biryani ever with excessive oil). As per my experience would recommend less for North Indian cuisine !!!

It was my moms birthday when we went here. Centrally located, very good and delicious food, quick service, very supportive staff. Ordered Paneer dou pyaaza and it was one of the best I have ever eaten. Music was not loud, people were not loud- very good for family visit. Paid some Rs 800 for 2 people (1 starter, 2 curry dishes, 1 daal and rotis). Definitely worth the experience and money.

Absolutely love this place. Food is finger lickingly delicious and an absolute value for money with enormous portions. The staff is prompt and efficient with suggestions and service. Their chicken tikka and hariyali chicken kebabs are spicy. The amount of butter on their butter naan and butter chicken is exemplary. Seating place and ambiance is family friendly. Its a must visit for food lovers.
