Mini Punjab's Lake Side

Food and the ambience is very nice… Both the chinese & north indian cuisine are worth the money & delicious.
One must definitely try their Tandoori items.

Not pleased enough with the food and service. Taste nothing great. To tempt you to eat more. Service responsive but slow serving. Nothing much about the place. Not on the list to try again. Needs a lot of improvement.

It was my birthday and i took my family for lunch and it was the worst experience ever in my life. My day was ruined badly after paying so much. They didn’t clean the table for us, there was hardly 1 person attending us with so much attitude and cold food wherein on other table we could see few waiters serving them as if they were paying the hotel and we are not! They didn’t allow us order food by menu but only to go for buffet but after us there was a group came of office of more than 10 people and they were allowed for ala cart menu. I would never ever visit such place in my life.

My recent visit to Mini Punjab had its ups and downs. Here's my take on the experience:

Positive Points:

The ambiance and decor were pleasant and had a cozy feel.

The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout our meal.

Areas for Improvement:

The food quality was inconsistent. Some dishes were outstanding, while others fell short of expectations.

Pricing seemed a bit on the higher side compared to similar restaurants in the area.

The wait time for our dishes was longer than anticipated, which affected the overall dining experience.

Mini Punjab has potential, but there is room for improvement, especially in terms of food consistency and pricing. While it was an average experience, I hope to see improvements in the future visits.

Liked starters. Main course was buffet style. Options were limited. Decent place to have lunch

Worst people and arrogant staff rhwy dont want to prove any offer and tey to thief you so dont visit this place as they are only build for loot

I recently dined at Mini Punjab's Lake Side Powai restaurant and overall, it was a delightful experience. The food served was excellent, leaving a lasting impression on my taste buds. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delectable dishes that are rich in flavor and beautifully presented. Whether you're a fan of traditional Punjabi cuisine or looking to explore new flavors, Mini Punjab's Lake Side Powai has something to satisfy every palate.

One thing that stood out during my visit was the predominantly corporate crowd. The ambiance had a professional yet relaxed atmosphere, making it a suitable choice for business meetings or after-work gatherings. The restaurant exuded a vibrant energy, which added to the overall dining experience.

The service provided by the staff was commendable. They were attentive, friendly, and always ready to assist. The waitstaff ensured that we had a comfortable dining experience, promptly addressing any requests or queries we had. Moreover, the presence of valet parking made it convenient for patrons, saving the hassle of finding a parking spot in a busy area like Powai.

Additionally, Mini Punjab's Lake Side Powai often provides attractive offers, making it a more appealing choice for diners. These offers further enhance the value for money, allowing guests to enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.

In conclusion, Mini Punjab's Lake Side Powai is a fantastic restaurant that offers delicious food, a pleasant ambiance, excellent service, and convenient amenities like valet parking. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to indulge in flavorful Punjabi cuisine while enjoying a memorable dining experience.

Tried the buffet lunch at Mini Punjab powai! The food was good, service was also good. Veg and Non Veg both were good!

I loved cheese balls the most and a chicken curry they prepared

This place is freaking scary, I found a stapler pin in my food, so to begin with, I was super excited to visit this place because of the reviews and the hype, I visited it with my friends and I came down all the way from Bhayandar, we order a starter and I found a stapler pin in it, the waiters did apologize and gave us another free starter for free but that does not write off their scary mistake. I will never visit this place again.

It is a wonderful restaurant. Great ambience and yummy food, had ordered the non veg platter and chicken handi. Lovely place for family

Worst service ever received and also food was not not tasty one of the dish we have to return it

Was a private party. We had about 60 guests but the hall easily accommodate more.
Food was excellent.
Service was good.
Toilets were far away. That was the only inconvenience.
All in all an enjoyable experience.
Highly recommended.

Utter waste of food. We ordered the dara Singh thali and when we asked for the leftover to be packed, they said we dump it but won't pack it. While 1000s of people die of starvation, this restaurant has no regrets wasting food that we've paid for. Average taste.only looting people in the name of concept

Food wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. When u go to decent restaurant, you do expect a certain level of "cleanliness" Which wasn't there. The bathroom was leaking from the ceiling which was completely open n the beams were exposed. Floor was all wet. Wet! It was a complete turn off. The waiter, would drag his foot n walk. His clothes not that clean either. Spoons n forks had dried water marks that they had been cleaned with a moist cloth. Furniture was old, and could use a revamp. Small details besides the food make good dining experiences. Out of which I didn't experience much.

Heard about this place a lot but was a disappointment.
Had soup which was good but starters were very bland and curry’s were very basic.

It was okay experience I thought it will be actually like mini Punjab but the dishes no where gave me the taste of Punjab ans also the service it way too slow

Fantastic food and ambience, service. I love mini Punjab restaurant and banquet. Banquet is top in all Mumbai.

I had been to Mini Punjab so many times and loved their food and ambience all the time. After covid, was craving for good food. It was the worst experience ever. Food was served cold, took so much time to serve, taste and quality has been deteriorated. Did not expect such sluggish service from Mini Punjab. Overall a disappointing experience post covid. I hope they bounce back as they were earlier.

Ordered chicken biryani from Mini Punjab Lake Side and just see in picture what I found.
I immediately called restaurant and inform them about the same but the person was so casual in attitude, he said sir aap boldo dusra order bhej deta hu.

Good food. I have gone here many times. But this time i found that there is lack of cleanliness and it wasnt smelling very good. But again food was worth it.

This place is not worth visiting, over hyped, over prices and not hygienic at all. We ordered drinks and starter and didn't order further due to such a pathetic experience. There was a fly in the schezwan chutney and to add to it the chicken tikka smelled so bad as if it was rotten. Would not recommend this place at all.

Food is good, I like the Gallic Kulcha specifically. The ambience was not that great. I would suggest them to work on the sitting and cleanliness to be at par with the food quality they serve.

You get Vallet parking.
Please do work on cost or please make the ambience more vibrant. When we visited, we were only guest the hotel had. I beleive, it's more often preferred for dinner.

We ordered Mini Punjab Veg Special Sabji and Dal tadka with Garlic Kulcha, bundi raita and fried rice. It was great in taste. You can consider cost of 800 to 900 for 2 people for lunch.

The food is pretty expensive, the taste is good but for that price not worth it. Visited here with my friends because everything was booked that day and someone suggested to try this joint.

Operating with a lesser staff, so you find delay in service. Overall the taste n quantity of food was good

I had visited this place for Veg Dara Singh thali. After looking at a lot of pictures and videos on youtube I decided to visit this place with my friends. But this place did not fulfill my expectations. The food was not that tasty and the service was also ok. I would like this restaurant to update their menu and improve in their taste. Please don't mislead your self after looking at the food pictures online like I did.

The staff is useless; I had to ask for water over and over again. Despite the fact that butter chicken was served (although it tasted like tamato puree), we kept waiting for another 15 minutes for our first nan.
Anyone thinking of going here should cancel their plans immediately. It is a complete waste of time & money. Giving it 1 star because there is no option to give them 0. In short Punjab ka naam mitti mai mila rahe hai yelog.

Pathetic service
Irresponsible staff. Even the manager on counter was having irresponsible attitude.

Place needs to brighten up, day time meals can improve a lot. The place has a reputation for great food and ambience. Hopefully it will carry forward the same

This place has some amazing dishes and moktails. Their service is good and quick and a good place to go for a date or even with family and friends.

Poor service. Over priced food. There's no lake view anymore. So it's just an average roadside restaurant.

We went for a buffet there only to find out that buffet is served only on Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
However, since was with family called for some starters, and main course (North Indian, Non-Veg), food quality was good, even Roti was good.
Only service part was poor, may be because we had reached at 2.30 pm, and they close by 3.30 pm.
Except for the waiters, there was no captain, who would have probably made the short fall covered up, by ensuring proper service. Though very small small things like the onion served was stale, and we had to ask for freshly cut onions. Only one waiter serving a big group (probably come for placing marriage order) and us both.
All in all, overall experience could have been better. However 4 stars for the food quality.

No taste to food.

Pros - Huge quantity of curry in main course (can serve 4)
Good Ambience (No lake visible though)

Cons - Apparently you can't eat that much curry due to lack of taste. Ordered starter of tandoori chicken - it's only roasted chicken and no spices involved. 2nd starter of cheese & corn seekh kabab -Its more of a corn aatta and no cheese.
Main course - Mutton Rogan Josh - half of pieces will be only bones and remaining half uncooked & uneatable, Paneer khurchan - God knows the taste of it, it was neither spicy nor sweet, not even a tadka was there.

Its okay.starter and soup was excellent but main course not up to the mark.very ordinary.surpise no covid protocol followed.

The food was really not nice.very average food as compared to the prices! Quality of the food has been degraded since the last 3 years.

As the name says lake side. Its doesn't quite live upto its name as the lake is not visible from the seating area which was disappointing.

Had tried veg dara singh thali here. Great taste and so many options off vegetables with Biryani and also desert. Must try

Buffet is not worth.only two options in starter.if reordered starter then they take almost 25-30mins to refill the plate. Food taste was not so good.no good service, rude behavior of staf.
Secondly, in bill they include service charge also.when we request we are not willing to pay service charges then they removed.else in each bills they add it. Because of extra service charge the gst and cgst also get increased. And u end paying extra extra.whereas food taste also not good and neither service.
Waste of Money and Time.

Great non vegetarian dishes, attended a mehendi ceremony of a relative, nice decent banquet hall with a separate dining area, food was very good, mostly the non vegetarian menu, soft and tender chicken starter.

Good food, nice ambience inside but The entrance of the restaurant is bit dull and confusing with not much signage as well as no one to escort you up to the restaurant.

I went there for a friends wedding. They have big banquet hall which good big partys and small weddings as the hall is sufficient for 200 peoples. Also they provide catering service which is an average in service.parking is annissue here. As it is road touched and no space for parking on weekdays. On weekends they park the car in nearby areas.

Outright daylight robbery. What is shown and what is served are different. Basic service attitude is not even there. Restrictive practice in serving even Chaas. Too little for the price charged.

Worst place for the costing per person in buffet. When I visited there was
no icecream.its a joke. No biryani. No pasta
Main course was just kept on one table for nonveg
