Simply marvelous food, impeccable service, and a cozy atmosphere with romantic ambiance and full table service. This is was my first time sitting down in a year if ever, but I found myself craving some authentic Indian cuisine that is gourmet, healthy, and free of chemicals and preservatives due to my allergies and dietary needs. The food was great and well portioned. I had a variety of entrees including a soup of mulligatawny with fresh ginger, vegetables and many herbs/spices. I followed this by lamb Kodak with a side of garlic Nan and an iced tea. This is some of the finest Punjabi style Indian food this side of the Mississippi River and it competes with the finest Indian restaurants in Washington D.C., Chicago, Detroit, Miami, NYC, and Atlanta. I also highly recommend the Kheer rice pudding and the Goat Biryani which is very authentic and well seasoned. Outstanding!! I left feeling happy and refreshed rather sluggish and tired like so many Chinese and Mexican restaurants. I’m impressed, will be back, and highly recommend this place to everyone. If you ever drive through Saginaw make sure you save Taste of Punjab in your GPS!! I drove 30 minutes and so glad I did. I ate all the Biryani and Lamb Kodai. Sorry I forgot to save a picture but you can see my amazing soup. Thank you Taste of Punjab!

Our first time having Indian food and we will definitely be back again. Food was fresh, everything was so aromatic and wonderful that I already can't stop thinking about it. The gentleman serving us had a million dollar smile and was so, so sweet.

Delicious! We had samosa, tandoori platter appetizer, butter chicken and veg korma with naan. What an excellent feast. We have leftovers for days. I was not raised in the midwest so next time I will ask for hot instead of medium spice.

The service is always incredible. The food is always outstanding, I’ve never ordered anything that didn’t come out perfect. The atmosphere and restaurant are very pretty with cute paintings and decorations. I recommend this restaurant to anybody interested in Indian cuisine.

One of my new favorite restaurants. I eat the Shrimp Methi medium hot. For my palette it's unbelievable good. My son eats the Lamb Tikka Masala mild. The garlic flat bread that comes with some meals is great also. The lamb is cooked to perfection. Staff is excellent, friendly. My son lives across state so we will most likely make this a regular stop when he is home.

I've been to India many times and always enjoyed the incredible food. This is the real deal. I highly recommend the mixed tandoori grill. It was delicious and enough for 2.

Love this place , my favorite. So good, n so friendly. everything i have ordered is so tasty delicious all the time.

Currently finishing up the Pasanda dish with garlic naan. Absolutely incredible. The whole table is raving about how tasty the food is. We all got something different and tried a bit of each other's and everything has such rich and distinct flavors. Can't go wrong with anything on this menu it seems. Excellent meal. Get the lamb!
