A smart restaurant in a smart area.

The Chicken Shish kabab at Punajb Balti is one of my favourite dishes mainly for the fact that it is so delicately flavoured as believe me I don’t like spicy food!! I was dining there with my family last Friday and it was a wonderful experience. Punajb Balti is one of my favourite restaurants as this is the one place where I can eat excellent food in a nice and cosy ambience. There are so many Indian/Pakistani/Asian restaurants all over Dublin that keep opening up and those are the ones that are over-priced with lack-lustre food. Punajb Balti has been around for a long time and has a favourite clientele ( like me!) that keep returning as its one place where you really do have excellent food, warm service amid a nice setting. Other favourite dishes to most definitely go for are the lamb tikka masala, the rotis ( Rotis - the best ever) and chicken biryani.

Overall we had a truly pleasant evening and I would recommend it.

A great Indian restaurant - before, after or without the pub! The food is excellent, the interior is comfortable and the place has a warm traditional feel. There's a couple of bottles of Indian wine on the menu which I thought was interesting and look forward to trying sometime... I'm also looking forward to trying out Philip M.'s beer corkage trick too - as Redmond's Off Licence next door is hog heaven for beer lovers like myself.

On occasion the service can be slow when it gets busy but the food is worth waiting for and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned. So all in all, a great balti house and the perfect venue for an aprés pub "Ruby Murray" as Del Boy would say... he who dares...

Have been here frequently and it has always been top-notch. Staff are friendly and food consistently good quality - both the meat and seafood dishes. Take-away is equally good. As Philip says, the beer/wine corkage from Redmond's is an excellent idea. Other ethnic restaurants in Dublin could learn from this idea, it's par for the course in many other countries.

I had a lovely meal there last night. The place was very quiet, but the food was very tasty.

They do a nice little trick here where they do beer corkage, which means that you can run next door to Redmonds and have a world of beers at your finger tips. What a great idea.
