Punjabi Juction Of 87th

An efficient and delicious Indian carry-out spot

Where else can you find and quick, tasty and nutritious lunch for $12 on the upper East Side? This place is great. The service is fast and friendly and the food was delicious. I got two samosas - which reminded me of how my neighbor used to make them - and a chicken curry with rice. The small was sufficient for me and I'm a big guy. It was slightly spicy with plenty of warming flavors and was perfect on a rainy day.

I accidentally tipped it over so ignore the cross-spillage! The vegan combo was $12!A good value for a meal (or two)! Each of the mains had great flavor and texture. The shop prices are good too, ex: $4 for an MDH spice pack, comparable to larger chains. Good deals all around, and good customer service! I will definitely be back.

A long time patron of PJ of 87th (received a free samosa on their opening day kinda bandhan), I was overdue for my first bad customer service experience. And PJ did not disappoint. The chicken is a different matter. The gentleman running my credit card during (for my totally not necessary purchase of Haldiram's Bhujia and Britannia Good Day ) said card was declined. I was like..hain? aise kaise? and told him to run it again..he said it was declined and said something on the lines of - " if you have no money, why pretend to buy"..i swallowed my disbelief at his utterance and asked the POS for viewing..He was like take my word for it...you have no money on your card..yet I persisted. And made him show me the card reader it said - chip error...and not card declined. If the kind POS operator could be educated on error messages it would be nice, rather than mouthing off apni marzi sey. I gave the gentleman a different card and it went through fine. Both were visa cards btw. At least I had Wagh Bakri at home to go with the Good Day, so I scooted away making a mental note to not return here (though I live one street away) Punjabi Juction Of 87th is now in my Beete Lamhein. Gotta head to kips bay now. Sigh.

This is the best indian Store you will find in whole NYC. They also sell the best samosas in NYC. Not only do they sell the best INDIAN food in NYC they also sell the best sandwiches my personal favourite being chicken sandwich i fully recommended you try this and if you’re a vegan you can try the vegan combo with lentils, mixed vegetables, and rice and they sell groceries if you’re looking for a grocery store. Overall this is a really good restaurant you should really visit at least once.

I stumbled in here looking for a quick dinner. I ordered the vegan combo with lentils, mixed vegetables, and rice - everything had great flavor. There was a combo of potatoes, eggplant, and peppers which I loved. The portion was massive, next time I’ll get a side of rice because I ran out with plenty of main left.

Love this place for so many reasons. The staff has always been very friendly. I love the classics - daal, chole, samosa etc. The food is delicious and fresh. I love picking up a Limca which reminds me of visits to home in Delhi. Keep up the great work. You are a gem on the UES.
