Reviews for Punjab Palace Cuisine of India in Riverside, CA

Don?t go here if you want to be FED or respected as a customer. We went in to grab some lunch at 12:30pm. A very nice gentleman... said hello to us and proceeded to take us to one of the many empty tables. As we were about to sit down, a lady came out fromthe back and said that they are not taking orders and to come back in the EVENING. Once again, there were many empty tables inthe restaurant so we were surprised to be denied service. On top of that, the lady was extremely condescending and rude. I?venever seen a business turn away customers in a half empty restaurant. It would have been nice if they offered some sort ofalternative such as taking the food to go. Also, it?s not like the restaurant takes reservations so how are you going to saythat you are full to capacity when you?ve only been open one hour and half the restaurant is empty. Read more

We ran across this place and decided to try it and glad we did. This place is definitely one of our favorite so far. We liked... the fact that we were seated right away. Customer service was great. Everyone was friendly and courteous. They checked on usseveral times to make sure if we needed anything. The place was wasn't as busy, thank goodness, but we did see that they had alot of to-go orders. The place was nice and relaxing. They had tv screens with music videos for entertainment. What stood outand is the most important was the food! We tried their garlic chicken (if you're a garlic lover, you'll like this) and theirbhindi masala (okra). I never liked okra before until I tasted this dish. They gave us a choice and asked how spicy we wantedthe food. We don't like hot/ spicy dishes so we asked for mild and it was wonderful. It was mild, but very flavorful. We alsotried their gulab jamun dessert (it's like a warm donut in a sweet syrup ). Food was excellent! I can't wait to go back and tryother dishes. Update: We came back during lunch and they have a lunch special for $12.95 that has curry chicken, chickenmasala, saag paneer (homemade cheese & creamed spinach), garlic naan (it's like a pita bread), and gulab jamun (dessert). All ofthis for 1 price. Love it. Read more

I wanna start off by saying that I'm a very picky eater and I only like to eat my own food however this cuisine was really good... it was so And have my toes curling and I just wanted more it had a spice to it that went away and made your mouth just water tomore.. The owner greeting was was a personal effect which I take in consideration when I do go to a warm cozy restaurant. Theprices were very reasonable for the quality of the food and trust me the quality is very goodI would recommend this place tothose who want to try something Different It is truly a chef behind those walls..

I must statert by saying that this place has FALSE ADVIRETISEMENT on there website and outside on there windows. I am pregnant... and had a strong craving for indian food since yesterday and let me tell you after today I dont see indian food the same. Theyused to be great at there other location with there all you can eat and better service. I got up and told the lady to cancel theorder that we would pay for the water they have served us and she made a rude facial expression and said "the food is ready,. Ifyou leave your going to have to pay for the plates". Keep in mind she wanted is to pay for the food we HAVENT recieved yet andshe was still serving and getting them ready. SMH????. The flavot of the food was blant and no actual spice or kick. Chickencurry tasted disgusting I wanted to throw up bad and watered down -and from my understanding curry or masala supposed to be niceand semi thick with a kick of spice. Chicken Tika Masala which is supposed to be there #1 dish had absolute no flavor either.The rest of the food was just dissapointing overall. Lady kept lagging on getting water refills especially when its 113 degreeweather and thirst rises. Definately not worth $70 for so called "Lunch Special". Wont be returning to this place anymore.

My dad took our family out here for all you can eat. They told us they do not have all you can eat. Its a sign posted on the... front of the restaurant and website, false advertisement. We wanted to leave but the lady was trying to charge us and was beingsnotty to my mom. She was very rude and had an atitude. There was no one to put water in are cups. Service was poor, food didnot taste very good, watered down very bland. Waste of our time and money. Don't come here you will be extremely disappointed. Read more

The food was horrible. The service was terrible. He didn't even greet us. The guy at the restaurant was having an attitude. He... was asking us to order even before we are ready. We ordered assorted appetizers, it had a black hardened potatoes. The chickenpakora, the batter smelled really bad. It was rotten as if it was made couple days ago. The Chicken seekh Kabob, the onion wasrotten, and so as the chicken. The karahi chicken was uncooked as well as the onion was rotten. What kind of restaurant is thisif the guys do not know how to behave with the customer. This place should shutdown. Read more
