Best Indian food ever!

Food = Excellent

I actually think this is the best Indian in Canberra. Probably the best Indian we have ever had. We come here at least once a week. Perfect food and very friendly staff.

Tasty dishes with a Punjab twist. Don’t come in unless you want a leisurely paced dinner. Staff are friendly, each dish was yummy and generously portioned. Their lassis tasted a bit different but I am guessing that is the Punjab style spicing up that makes it so. Have no complaints as it is fairly new and located near Kippax Vet.

Fantastic food. Good prices. Nice resturant.

Very nice Indian food. Friendly service and reasonably priced.

Wonderful food and service. Quiet restaurant with comfortable chairs. Best Indian food I have ever had. I will be back!

Update 18th February 2021 Once again having the same issue with the exact same order as below, same staff member. Only this time they have a new ordering system that also reflects that the $35.50 order applies a $3.55 discount bringing it down to $31.95. Despite this the staff member continued to be rude, as well as attempting once again to overcharge. Great food, but the customer service simply doesn't seem to be a priority here any more. ---- On a typical day, Dawat-e-punjab produces excellent food and shows great customer service. Today however when attempting to participate on their 10% off on takeaway orders over $35, they were downright deceptive and rude. They attempted to round down our $35.50 order to $35 to avoid giving us the 10% discount. When we questioned it, saying the order should add up to $35.50 not $35, they told us we were wrong. We once again explained that the total amount was wrong, and they told us they had rounded it down for us, and then proceeded to ring up the card machine. We stated that the order was $35.50 and therefore the 10% discount should apply, and they said that the discount only applied when the order after discount is also over $35, which doesn't not reflect their advertising. Eventually they charged up correctly ($31.95), with a very snide 'have a good night's at the end. Not a great experience guys.

The first few times we went we were totally impressed with the food and the service. Last night we went and was very disappointed. The waitress told us we had to sit at a small table right next to the only other guests who were talking very loud. We asked to sit at our 'usual' table but was told it was booked. About 20 min later more people came without booking and was offered the table we asked for. When I complained our usual waitress was very apologetic. As we left to pay we also told the waitress who initially served us. She lied to our face saying there was bookings. I told her we were very disappointed and it appeared as if she was almost laughing at us (smirking). I then told her that we probably won't come back. This restaurant does big trade with take away but for us we like to go out for dinner once a week. I was so happy to discover a good Indian restarant locally but now we will go back to Florey where the service is always impeccable.

I am super impressed with the home delivery take way service. I was pleasantly surprised at the convenience of paying eftpos at your front door! My hubby and I usually order the dinner for two special and the food is amazing and temperature hot on arrival, generous in portions, authentic cuisine and excellent value for money. My favourite is the Lamb Rogan Josh and the Butter Chicken is just delicious. I am also a fan of the curry puffs. Thank you Dawat-e-Punjab for everything and I look forward to your next meal. Cheers guys.
