The Punjabi's Kitchen & Bar, North Indian restaurant in Chakala, Mumbai, India
The Punjabi's Kitchen & Bar is a North Indian restaurant in the Chakala area of Mumbai, serving dishes from the Punjabi tradition such as Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani, and freshly baked naan. The space has a contemporary look with seating for both small groups and larger tables.
Punjab, in northern India, developed its cooking traditions around wheat, dairy, and legumes grown on the region's flat farming land. These staples still form the base of the dishes served in Punjabi restaurants around the world today.
The food here comes from Punjab, a region in northern India known for rich, spiced sauces and slow-cooked lentils. Many of these dishes are traditionally shared at family tables during festivals and celebrations.
The restaurant is in Chakala, a neighborhood that is easy to reach by taxi or public transport from central Mumbai. Calling ahead to reserve a table is a good idea if you are coming with a group or visiting on a weekend evening.
The naan here is baked in clay ovens that guests can watch from their tables, which gives a clear view of how the bread is made. This open kitchen setup is not always common in restaurant dining rooms, making it worth noticing.
