food staff menu
ES Food Newsletter This review was first published in February 2001 Punjab is a restaurant that has survived by evolving steadily.
The old-faithful dishes are here - you can have lamb Madras or chicken tikka masala, even tandoori chicken survives on the menu - in 1962 this was one of the first London restaurants to install a tandoor.
Since the 1970s, the big hits have been - in chronological order - chicken tikka masala; jalfrezi; acharri gosht (lamb with north Indian pickling spices); pudina gosht (lamb with mint); anari murgh (chicken with a sharp/ sweet pomegranate sauce); and garlic chicken.
For main course dishes try building a historical spectrum - the acharri gosht is a brown, savoury, spicy and rich lamb curry; the anari murgh is lighter and a good deal sharper and fruitier.

London Restaurant Review - Punjab in Covent Garden
food menu value
Though it soon moved to Covent Garden (convenient for sightseeing, theater going and West End shopping), the owners have stayed true to their roots, building a loyal following with good, unpretentious and authentic food.
Serendipity on a Rainy AfternoonI wandered into Punjab and tried its scrumptiously old fashioned North Indian food almost by accident.
The array of chicken, lamb, fish, prawn and vegetarian dishes includes a Tandoori selection for those who like their Indian food explosive.
I chose Butter Chicken, a classic Punjabi dish of chicken, marinated in spiced yogurt and then simmered on the bone in a sauce of tomatoes, butter and cream, seasoned with cumin and coriander seeds, cayenne pepper and crushed cardamom.
