Indulge in royal flavours at Punjab Grill, where every bite is a journey through North India’s rich culinary heritage. 🌟 From its award-winning outlets in Washington D.C. and Bangkok to the bustling vibes of Inorbit Mall, Hyderabad, this fine-dining gem delivers authenticity with a modern twist.

We started with the crispy Palak Patta Chaat, followed by smoky Salmon Tikka and Ambarsari Machhi — seafood perfection on a plate. Their exclusive Punjab Da Swag festival took it up a notch with highlights like the tangy Ambi Panna, creamy Dhingri Te Dolma, and royal Tikke – De Rajkumar. Mutton lovers, don’t miss the Angithi Mutton Chop Tikka — tender, bold, and unforgettable.

The mains were just as heavenly — buttery Keema Parothe and the soul-satisfying Macchi Di Tari. Drinks like Mango Berry Delight and Sippin’ on Cheesecake brought the perfect summer finish — part dessert, part refreshment, all indulgence. 🍹

With plans to open 100+ outlets by 2027, Punjab Grill continues to reign supreme. 🇮🇳✨ A meal here is more than just food — it’s an experience. Approx ₹2,000 for two (excl. taxes). Worth. Every. Bite.
