In Short
Classic Punjabi dishes--plus a handful of other classics from al over the continent--come quickly and cheap in this, one of the Boston area's few fast-food Indian spots. Popular items include tender lamb vindaloo over… Read Full Editorial
My Review by lexp via Citysearch on 4/2/2013
Ate here over weekend & loved it. great place
Full of flavor at a great price! by Meghan Christine via Citysearch on 1/6/2010
I am always looking for places to have dinner on the cheap with my friends before a night out in Boston. The appeal of Punjabi Dhaba is simple ? diverse menu, and absolutely fantastic food. For two people, two meals, can also mean…
Punjabi Dhaba Restaurant is THE place for Indian food in Cambridge by Eugenia C via Insider Pages on 10/12/2009
The seating is tight, the line/wait is sometimes long, but it's always worth it. I have eaten there a dozen times, and have gotten take out a dozen others. It is super inexpensive for the quality you get. Great masala dishes. Great Indian…
Punjabi Dhaba Restaurant is Mmmm! by Julie C via Insider Pages on 9/15/2009
Although the seating is a tight squeeze (and always full) the wait is always worth it! When I am in Inman, I always stop in for at least a snack--- MMMmm!
Mouth-watering authentic Punjabi fast food. by hardinghouseinncambrdge via Citysearch on 1/21/2009
Called an ?Indian Highway-Side Cafe,? this Inman Square favorite offers mouth-watering authentic Punjabi fast food. Inspired by the delicious street food offered at Indian truck stops, Punjabi Dhaba?s menu is full of inexpensive treats.…
very bad!!!! disgusting!!! by Sharath1981 via Citysearch on 11/14/2008
One of the worst Indian fodd I have ever had in BOSTON!! the wait is long and to make it even worse the food is tasteless...the place is small and too noisy....no spice, no salt what so ever and there is no Indian flavor!!! the keema naan…
Great authentic food - great prices by lucianoFromRome via Citysearch on 11/9/2008
This place has a lot of character - the loud Pubjabi music on the TV makes you really feel like you are in an authentic roadside cafe in India. The food is great - the portions large, and the prices very good. There is indeed quite a…
Best Indian food by FAR by james02141 via Citysearch on 10/9/2008
Punjabi Dhaba is a great place to bring a few friends and enjoy a meal. This place is always busy, and the staff are working hard. The food must be fresh because of the turnover.. There are always lines out the door. I cannot say the same…
Best Indian food in Cambridge! by Rod D via Insider Pages on 5/28/2008
This place is quite special. The food is terrific and it is the only place that can have up to an hour wait just for take out! You can eat there, but the seating arrangements are tight and not very accommodating. You get alot for the money…
Economical place to get good tasting Indian food by bostondesi via Citysearch on 11/13/2007
\r
The prices are reasonable and the quality/quantity of food is great. Do give them plenty of time to prepare the food though. It is mostly a take out place and difficult to seat a large party for eat-in, besides the long wait time.\r

This is really the place to go for quick, cheap Indian food. I'm told by Indian friends that the food is...
Best to call in your order ahead and give them plenty of time to make it! by jblippman via Citysearch on 6/28/2007
Most of the time the food is great. Sometimes it is way too salty - as if there is one cook who is only on the job occasionally and isn't very adept. But for these prices, it's worth the chance. Unless you absolutely HAVE to know the…

Best Indian food in Boston Area by desieclipse via Citysearch on 6/18/2007
Although this place is a dive and it's very inexpensive, it has the BEST North Indian food I've had in the Boston area - it's authentic, delicious, and you get plenty of food with your order. It's also open pretty late, which is a big…
Cambridge staple by urbantemp via Citysearch on 11/12/2006
Open late is a plus. It's always been a local favorite and always packed at dinner time and you cannot beat those metal trays they serve-on when dining-in, they make me smile. The vegetarian curry could use some work, but it definitely…
Best Indian Food around. by daffodil07 via Citysearch on 11/5/2006
best food in Boston. I usually do take outs. Everybody is friendly and it is fast-food type.. very good place for students. You can get ur food very spicy to medium. You can even try out new receipes.. last time I tried chick peas in saag…
Very tasty food, BUT A LOT OF M O U S E! by ally2002nz via Citysearch on 10/7/2006
They offer excellent indian food, but be ready for a lot of m o u s e in the restaurant especially on the second floor. This restaurant is rather dirty. I would recommend for take-out.
Lively and Delicious! The BEST! by jack747 via Citysearch on 9/27/2006
Punjabi Dhaba is great, I've been there more than a dozen times, and I have fun each and every time, not to mention a scruptious meal.\r
On my last visit I noticed a plaque on the wall, it turns out that they just won Best of Boston for…
Lots of atomosphere , food insipid by mondol via Citysearch on 8/30/2006
I appreciate what most of these rave reviews are talking about. It feels more like places I have eaten in while in India and the menu has some items I want to love (fruit chat , samosa chat etc.) But when the food arrives it never quite…
Cheap, Filling, Fantastic for a Hearty Meal by mango425 via Citysearch on 8/10/2006
I don't know what this person at the bottom is talking about (maybe he/she went on a bad day?) but if you read the other reviews and talk with local Boston students, there's no doubt that this Dhaba is a local favorite. Each order comes in…
