Our take: Punjabi Dhaba in Punggol presents a mixed bag for Indian cuisine enthusiasts.
We see a clear split in experiences, particularly concerning their biryani and butter chicken.
Some diners praise the fluffy biryani rice with generous cashews and raisins, and a well-marinated, mildly spiced butter chicken, highlighting the $17.50 1-for-1 deal as good value.
This suggests it could be a suitable option for those who prefer less spicy Indian food or are dining with colleagues.
However, a significant number of reviews point to issues with food quality and value.
Criticisms include biryani lacking aroma and depth, dry chicken, watery and sour butter chicken, and uncooked rice grains.
The tandoori chicken is described as wet and bland.
Several customers also find the pricing, such as $12.50 for Mutton Rogan Josh Biryani, to be high for a hawker setting, especially when compared to CBD options.
Service attitude also appears to be a point of contention for some.
We'd recommend this for a quick, no-frills meal if you're in the area and specifically looking for a milder Indian flavour profile, but manage your expectations regarding authenticity and consistent quality.

What customers say
Punjabi Dhaba receives mixed reviews, with some customers praising the fluffy biryani rice with generous ingredients like cashews and raisins, and well-marinated, mildly spicy butter chicken, especially when purchased as part of a value deal.
However, a significant portion of feedback highlights issues with food quality, including watery butter chicken, dry or sour chicken, bland and wet tandoori chicken, and biryani with uncooked grains or lacking aroma and flavor.
Pricing is a recurring concern, with many finding it too high for a hawker stall, particularly given the perceived low quality and small portion sizes, alongside complaints about poor customer service and staff attitude.

Mutton Rogan josh biryani cost $12.5 that is high quality food in ac restaurant in cbd area. The price and the quantity for a hawker doesn't justify at all. Thanks for your service.
