Virsa De Punjab

Gaurav Sabnis

Went here for dinner Saturday night because of the great reviews here. And the place totally delivered! The food was delicious and very authentic. The Tandoori lamb chops might seem pricey but they are worth it and more. The makke di roti sarson da saag reminded me of Punjab. And the dal was so delightfully spicy! No random white people stuff here. Given the quality of the food, we were surprised to be the only table on a summer Saturday night in a pretty upscale neighborhood. Especially because they were clearly doing brisk takeout business. But then the indifferent service made it clear why. There were two folks working, a young man and a young woman. And they seemed to be more into chatting with each other than looking after our needs. I had to walk over to them to ask for a water refill! Maybe there's a love story happening. In which case, we will gladly be the party that got ignored for a greater cuter good. But otherwise, the service did great disservice to the quality of the food, which is some of the best Punjabi food I've eaten in the US. There is no real reason why you should have to explain to an Indian waiter in an Indian restaurant why you want small bowls (I even said "katoris") to share the absolutely delicious dal tadka among the four of us. Dude came and asked for detailed verification of exactly what I was asking for. Towards the end, even though it was about 15 minutes before advertised closing time, after we had enjoyed one of the best gulabjamuns I've ever had and were thinking of ordering some quick takeout, the waitress pretty much rushed us out, saying "we are waiting for you to close up". Well, excuse us for thinking that you might want a little more revenue for no extra cost on a Saturday night. I hope the owners see this review and do something about the lazy service staff, because your food is amazing!

We used to go there for buffet, which was a great value overall for the price and choice of items. But they closed it since the pandemic started. Now they only have a la carte and their prices are a total ripoff. Garlic naan is $6 each. It retails at $7.99 for 16 pieces family pack in any Indian store. All prices are atrocious. They charged us $4 for a few crudely cut pieces of onion and lemon wedges and called it a salad. Our bill for a family of 5 was over $160 for mediocre food. We are never setting foot at this place again!

Nice authentic north indian food. We got Pappad once we sat down. The service is good! The dhaba paneer was great. The saag chicken was ok but would have liked it a little more spicy. The dal was spicy and north indian style.The tandoori roti was also good and soft. Will definitely recommend!
