"The immediately striking thing about this friendly, accessible dhaba in a quiet residential Southall street is its look: loud colours and rustic scenes of a Punjabi village, as channelled through the artistic sensibility of 1980s Bollywood movies. There are huge jewel-hued murals of truck drivers and women drawing water from a well, mismatched mirror-work chairs in shades of fuchsia and midnight-blue, a baffling life-size figure of a Sikh Papaji in pink kurta and turban, and sparkling lanterns casting shadows everywhere. A fairly standard but well-executed menu includes succulent cumin-spiked chicken wings; tender lamb with green peppers; glossy aubergine dotted with pickling spices; paneer lababdar in a sturdy tomato-onion sauce; and — best of all — black urad dal slow-cooked with butter on charcoal that gives it a distinctly smoky flavour." - Sejal Sukhadwala

"Similar to Desi Tadka, Raunka’s bare brick walls decorated with Punjabi ornaments, Indian trucks and women spinning cotton. There's also a Royal Enfield motorbike towards the back of the restaurant. Rajma chaal (kidney beans with rice) is a household favourite, simply satisfying, filling and hearty. Bhindi Masala (okra with onion and peppers) and baingen da bartha (fresh aubergines cooked in pickled sauce) are stand out dishes not often found in restaurants. For meat and fish eaters tandoori bhad shah, tandoori fish tikka and jeera chicken wings will go down well. Best for classic vegetarian dishes and Punjabi desserts." - Harkaran Gill

This is one of the best Indian restaurant I’m Southall area. The atmosphere the host, drinks and food all are spot on. This is highly recommended. Bani looked after us really well.

Had a nice meal here, the decor inside is very thought of to give you feeling of a local village in India. Service was great, food served timely. The restaurant is not licensed so no alcohol served, but you can bring your own. The food was very tasty, cooked with fresh ingredients. We had some kebabs and a meat curry. Only loses a star from me for the small portion of the main dish and the service charge which is automatically opt in! Usual trick to force it on you as most people won't bother to argue to opt out. Might be a better experience to increase the prices instead.

Oh my god it was one of the best experience one can have. we were nine people in total it started off by free parking outside the restaurant a big welcome smile and a wonderful host was there to welcome us.we had ordered nine different dishes and each one of them were bursting with flavors in our mouth. I can honestly say this was the best meal in England I have had in a long time along with the food a attentive and polite service was given by Kiran and Manu. We had a gala time with food service music and dance. This restaurant will be our favorite from now onward 100% highly recommended. Do try the dal makhani and saag with garlic chili naan.

I recently visited this restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The ambience is fantastic, with a charming Indian aesthetic that makes you feel like you've been transported straight to Punjab. The decor is thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food was equally impressive, with a variety of delicious dishes that truly captured the essence of Indian cuisine. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable dining experience!

A big shout to Preet for her amazing and professional service. The food was great and we tried a variety of dishes. Atmosphere wise, it was nice, but quiet as we went mid-week.

I've always loved Indian food and I've heard the best Indian food in London is in Southall. Well, what I heard was right. Short Story: Amazing Indian food, Amazing Service, Amazing Price. ------------------------------------------------------------ FOOD: Chicken Tikka Starter: 5/5, Very authentic and the chicken was soft. There was a lot of flavor, especially paired with the mint chutney on the side. I was really in the mood for chicken so it definitely hit the spot. Shahi Paneer: 5/5, In my opinion this was the best dish that we tried. The sauce itself was pretty mild flavored, definitely not spicy. It leaned more towards the slightly sweet side. The paneer was really tasty and soft. Definitely recommend this dish. Chicken Tikka Masala: 5/5, There was a good amount of chicken in the curry. The chicken was soft and easy to break apart with the naan, and the sauce was slightly spicy. It wasn't very spicy, but it had a good amount of flavor. Overall, excellent dish and I would also recommend. Even though this was a more popularized dish, it still had an authentic feel. Lamb Madras: 3/5, This one was overall pretty good. I think I just wasn't in the mood for lamb and this one really gives a lamb taste overall. The curry was definitely spicy, so I would only get it if you have a good spice tolerance. It was a well made dish, so it might not be deserving of the lower rating, but it just wasn't for me at the time. Also give a good amount of lamb pieces. Mango Lassi: 5/5, This is literally the first time I've ever had mango lassi that I've liked. It tasted very fresh and had perfect proportions. Definitely definitely get this, even if youve never tried mango lassi before. I'm 100% getting this when I go back again. Gulab Jamun: 5/5, Another perfect dish. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, and had the perfect amount of syrup to go with it. I got it with the ice cream, which was a really good pairing. It tasted very fresh and homemade. This is the only item that was slightly expensive, but I would say it is definitely worth it! Roti: 5/5, I usually don't like Roti, but this one was really good. Surprisingly delicious, even though it's the healthy alternative to naan. Naan: 5/5, Naan is always really good and it was good here too! Soft and delicious, and well priced. ------------------------------------------------------------ PRICES: Chicken Tikka Starter: 5.95 Pounds Shahi Paneer: 5.95 Pounds Chicken Tikka Masala: 6.90 Pounds Lamb Madras: 6.90 Pounds Mango Lassi: 2.40 Pounds Gulab Jamun: 2.25 Pounds Naan: 1.25 Pounds Roti: 1.00 Pounds Very moderate prices for Indian food in the area. Range per person: 12-15 Pounds. ------------------------------------------------------------ SERVICE: 5/5, This is really where the restaurant shone from any other I've been to. The owner, Raj, was the sweetest most genuine owner I've ever met. He talked to us for an hour after our meal ended about his life and his dreams. He really cares about his restaurant and it showed with the quality of the food. All the food was quick and there was no wait, but I hear that Saturdays are super packed so show up early! Apparently on Saturdays they do cultural events and parties, so I'm gonna be back! ------------------------------------------------------------ AMBIANCE: 5/5, Good for kids. It definitely has a restaurant feel, gives a very cultural vibe. Very fun to be in, but definitely casual, not too fancy. Could be used for a casual date though. ------------------------------------------------------------ OVERALL: I would 100% recommend if you're in the mood for some authentic Indian food!

If in London and craving North Indian Punjabi food, this is your spot. The service and decor are classic, and the food will for sure satisfy. Make sure you order the butter chicken.

Food was great. Owner is fun and involved with each guest. We travelled from Victoria to this place and it was worth. Did you read the walls? Ask them about the story behind.

Had a phenomenal time. The service was great, the food was to die for the price was right, and the owner Raj spent a good half hour with our group chatting and sharing his genuine love of food and people. It was an experience to remember! Thanks! And good luck

The food here was amazing! We got the chicken makhni, gol guppe, bhangra chops (lamb chops), daal makhni, amritsari machchi. Everything was well prepared and tasted delicious. Also Raj, the owner, was extremely friendly. Ive never met anyone more passionate about their food and restaurant. Every decoration in the restaurant has a story, from the paintings to the motorcycle even the smallest item in the back. He talked to us for hours after the store closed and enjoyed each story we told. Point at anything in the restaurant and ask him what it is and you'll be surprised by the answers and stories.

This is one of the best punjabi restaurants I have ever been to. We loved the food, the walls/props/paintings have a story behind it. Raj, the owner, was very friendly, with amazing stories that kept us entertained for hours. Will visit again.

Wow! Superb my wife and I were very much impressed! Not only was the food outstanding, the owner Raj was most accommodating as my wife really loves lamb samosas and it wasn't on the menu. Raj told the cook to make some for her anyways and they were excellent! Its a shame this restaurant is over 5000 miles away or we'd be there once a week! On our "must eat at" list for the next time we are in the UK!

The wait was ridiculous and the food was not worth it. The food took 30 mins to get, and was not good. Paneer was bad and so was the rest of the food. I would not go back to this place ever again and would not recommend it to anyone.

So I had a blast.....the food is home cooked and made to order...pani puri excellent.....sheek kabab very good....tandoori chicken very good. .....butter chicken excellent. Met the owner and he is fabulous. Skip the dessert at the restaurant and go next door to the sweet shop next door (owned by the same person). Get dessert there.
