A Punjabi Surprise

“Punjab Grill” has brought the flavors of Punjabi to Washington D.C. with alluring flavors and breathtaking decor suitable for kings and queens, an experience we couldn’t afford to miss!

Upon arrival we were greeted by some of the best dressed restaurant staff we’ve ever seen here in DC, so well dressed that we actually mistook our waiter for the restaurant manager, an error that doesn’t happen too often.

Because we made reservations during restaurant week, we were presented with a 3 course restaurant week menu full of ambrosial treats for us to choose from. For starters we chose the “Forbidden Romance Mocktail”, “Aloo Tikki Chaat” and “Kheema Ghugney Chilli”.

The “Forbidden Romance Mocktail” is made up of pomegranate, garam masala, maple and lemon. For those who are into spiced beverages this is would pair perfectly with one of their sweetened menu options.

The “ Aloo Tikki Chaat” consists of Crispy potato cake, Brussel sprout, Kale, Raspberry Chutney and Yogurt Mousse with pomegranate seeds. This dish was very complex, sweet “meats” heat with a crispy finish, equaling pure perfection.

Their “Kheema Ghugney Chilli” is perfect for those days you’re in need of comfort with a kick, this dish brings together minced Elysian farm lamb, white peas and Achari pao in this boldly fiery dish.

The “Butter Chicken” is one of our favorites here at F+M+F, luscious chicken tikka in a pool of scrumptious cashew tomato sauce.

The “ Dark chocolate pistachio gianguja” left us in awe once its silky interior met its crispy foundation. This dessert resembles a wealthy cheesecake which is why we had no choice but to add Punjab Grill to our list of culinary orgasms!
