Shan-a-punjab - Brookline

I would have loved the food but a lot of the entrees lacked something whether it be salt or some spices. But what stood out the most was the dosa which was phenomenal. And the desserts were really good. I would give this establishment another chance

I personally love this place. I know nothing of Indian culture or cuisine more than the average person does. But what I do know is, if I?m hungry and craving some of what American calls ?Indian food?, this is the place I?m going. Tastes delicious, theyalways ask me what spice level I want my food. They used to have a buffet, and then shut it down during the COVID-19 pandemicdue to obvious sanitary precautions and for the safety of all their customers! Every time I?ve come to dine here, I?m either theonly one there or there are one or two other dining parties, which again, I?m not a bit fan of experiencing that, but thatdoesn?t change the truth of how good the food is! The portions are relatively small. I can handle a lot of spice when I ask forspicy food, they still have never crafted that much of a spicy dish for me, I hope one day they do, but that?s a personalpreference! I also absolutely appreciate the kind service the staff provide. They are welcoming and hospitable and make itcomfortable enough to not make it feel like they are all watching you eat as your the only one there! Try it. You find out youwill be pleased!

I ordered food through Grubhub. The food was cold, naan was not properly cooked, chicken vindaloo was nothing but tomato paste. If I could give zero reviews, I would do that. I never tasted such bad Indian food.Food: 1/5

Got lazy to go out so placed an order through UBER eats. The main intension to order food from here was to have tea . Ordered Goat ? Rogan Josh, Chicken ? Tikka, Masala Tea Chapati. Everything came quite well in terms quality quantity except for Chicken tikka which came little hard. Ordered medium spicy Rogan Josh but came sweet with cashew raisins, so anybody prefers more spicy can go for very spicy option. Expectation was that will get complementary salad (onion lemon) but it was missing. This would have added more value. Overall I had nice food ?.

The restaurant has a nice modern interior with a tasteful and welcoming vibe. It's located near a busy neighborhood and has a few off-street parking spots with plenty of street parking.The service can be a little slow, but I think they just don't want to be too much of a bother. The portions are very good and each dish had good flavors. We had quite a bit of leftovers and are looking forward to it!
