    Horrible most food. They just put everything frozen in a gravy and serve. The chicken pieces are so hard that when I tried breaking it with a fork it jumped out of my plate. I've never seen such a rubbery chicken. We literally paied the bill and walked out to Mirchi Nation to eat.

    Sha-A-Punjab never disappoints. My absolute favorites are the garlic chicken and the garlic shrimp—two separate dishes that I have not found at any other Indian restaurant. Both are incredibly flavorful, very spicy, and completely unforgettable. The chicken biryani is also outstanding, with fragrant rice and tender chicken layered with rich spices. I drive 30 minutes just to get takeout from here, and it’s worth it every single time. Hands down the best Indian food around. Highly recommend! 🌶️🔥
