The menu at Punjabi Restaurant includes an impressively wide range of Indian dishes.  For foreigners craving and Indian meal, it is worth the trip, but the Nanjing locals are still finding it difficult to become accustomed to this style of cuisine.

 

The food can be ordered with hot, medium, or mild spice. Do note that compared with most other Indian restaurants, Punjabi’s “medium” is more like “mild”.

 

The atmosphere is casual and cozy and the staff is equally friendly.  The restaurant can only hold 20 to 30 guests, so it easily fills up during suppertime.  Some of the servers speak English and others speak Chinese.  Similarly there are both Chinese and English menus.  Both the servers and management are talkative and helpful when it comes to choosing dishes.

 

There is no bathroom inside.  There is one public bathroom outside that is far from clean.

 

 

Punjabi is located right next to the Thai Opera Café on Lion Bridge.  Walk down the small indoor alley to find the entrance.
