Punjab Express - Turlock

We dine here at least a couple of times each month, and the food is always delicious and consistently excellent! I can’t recommend it highly enough.

The Punjabi person who served me kept forgetting to include my onions and peppers. He told me it was in my bag. Maybe he needs to go back to school!

We ordered Chaat Papdi, but what we received didn’t resemble it at all. Instead, it was just a snack called Namak Para, tossed with some sweet tamarind chutney, red onions, and yogurt. We chose not to mention it, wanting to spare the staff any embarrassment in front of other customers. Having lived in Delhi, India for five years, I know exactly how Chaat Papdi should look and taste. It’s essential to be honest with your customers if a specific menu item can’t be prepared, rather than misleading them.

If you prioritize service and ambiance, this might not be the place for you. I've tried several dishes here, and while sometimes the food is good, other times it's worse. It seems they don't consistently follow set recipes and use quality ingredients. The lack of sanitation is concerning. With proper management, this place could have huge potential.

Ate here for dinner tonight. Food was delicious as always. Service was fast and friendly.
