Why go, and how to do it well
Punjabi food is the draw here, and so are the people serving it. Reviewers keep mentioning staff who steer you away from ordering too much rather than pushing extras, one couple was told a single lassi would do for two, and brought a taster to check the salt level was right. That kind of thing sticks with you more than any dish.
Order the aloo paratha, the kulchas, the samosas, and either the veg or non-veg thali if you want the full spread. The Punjabi lassi and mango lassi come up again and again. Paneer tikka wraps parcel up well, which matters if you've got an early boat the next morning. Seasoning is the weak spot. Some people find the biryani under-salted, others found a paneer dish overdone, so say what you want when you order. A few also think the prices sit slightly above the cooking.
It's right in Old Town, so pair it with a wander round the shophouses.

Reviews from Google
Excellent service by Maung Zinoo and one of the best aloo parothas and Punjabi lassi we have had… We ordered 2 lassis but were advised that 1 would be enough for 2, and he was correct. Asked for slightly salted lassi and he brought us a small sample each to taste and see if it was salty enough…. Did not expect that!!! We came early at 11am and were served really quickly as there were only 2 other customers . Enjoyed the Punjabi music too… Will definitely revisit 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Having traveled to many countries, I can honestly say the Indian food and overall vibe at this restaurant are unmatched. The quality is excellent, the prices are pocket-friendly, and the hospitality is warm and humble. It’s definitely one of the main reasons I would visit Phuket again.
Food was okay! There was a bit of a wait time when we went (around 8pm). The biriyani could use a bit more salt but other than that everything we ordered was good. Mango lassi was really tasty!

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
