Decent food, great value for money, and the dancing guy wins it every time for me. How can anyone look so happy all night long?

There are very few places in China, where you find good indian food. This place is one of them. YOu get punjabi thali and i just loved it. After two days of having typical Chinese food, i just went crazy with Punjabi food. Very good place if any Indian visiting Shanghai.

We decided to check out Punjabi our last night in Shanghai. It was buffet style dinner for 100Rmb. The staff was attentive and the ambience was nice. The buffet had a decent variety but we had to order butter chicken separately off the menu. I dont recommend the butter chicken. It is usually our favouritei dish but we didnt finish... More

A decent place for north Indian cuisine.Considering most places for Indian food are quite expensive here,this is a good value for money with good variety on offer. Would recommend the evening buffet,which has lot of choices and unlimited beer or soft beverages.The food is good,little toned down on spices and aroma due to lot of foreigners visiting,however they need to...

When we have a group of friends that want to go out for something out of the ordinary (non-chinese) we always consider Punjabi on Huaihai. For the price, you get your moneys worth, especialy if you're drinking beer. I personally don't drink beer and wish they offered some other alcoholic option, but you can't please everyone. We like it!

I had a Buffet dinner at this hotel. The food was good, and the service was okay. They could work a little on the ambience to make it more cozy for the guests.

Have been here a number of times and just finished a "luncheon plate special." At Punjabi Restaurant you will get a constant, value, service and atmosphere. If you like Indian food, it is the best place to go in Shanghai. The Luncheon Plate is a great value with 7 courses and in vegetarian and meat choices. You get rice, lentils,... More

This has recently shifted its location to near C & A shop on Huai Hai Road , on the fifth Floor . The menu includes lots of Indian Preparations . My recommendation is one should try the set lunches , both Veg and Non Veg at 55 RMB apiece which includes Rice as well as Roti . In the evening... More
