Punjab Restaurant has served traditional North Indian food since 1946 and has occupied Neal Street in Covent Garden since 1951. Founded by Sardar Gurbachan Singh Maan, it remains in the Maan family and preserves the welcoming spirit of a home away from home through recipes passed between generations.

Pakora, potato tikki and other appetisers introduce the kitchen’s careful use of herbs and spice. Tandoori dishes bring smoke and char to meat, fish and vegetables, while breads made with wheat and vegetable ghee reflect the agricultural traditions and staple ingredients of Punjab.

Butter chicken, Grandad’s Kali Daal and Kadu Puri are among the restaurant’s best known specialities. Lamb curries, seafood, biryani and a broad range of vegetable dishes provide further choice, with flavour and texture kept at the centre rather than heat alone.

Lassi, Indian beer and traditional desserts can complete the meal, while five connected dining rooms give the restaurant scope for families and larger groups. Walk in dining remains central to its character, with limited reservations, private hire, takeaway, delivery and catering also available.

Address: 80 Neal Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9PA, United Kingdom
