You must try this place for real authentic South Asian food. The restaurant is right off I-26 on Bush River Road across from Wal-Mart. I have always had great food and excellent service. They fix it how you like it. There is always plenty to eat. If you are looking for the best India food in South Carolina, this is... more

We've never been to India, but have eaten Indian Cuisine in New York, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, Maryland, Nevada, Hong Kong, Bangkok and now South Carolina. Punjabi Dhaba seems the most authentic thus far. Here, they perfectly combine the right amount of spices and heat that can make any palate dance and be happy! A generous buffet of Samosas, Pakora, Tandoori... more

I was really surprised by the one. I hadn't been to this particular restaurant since it had been Subra's, and all I can say is that the new management has really done some great things. The buffet was varied and flavorful, all well cooked. I may have a new favorite Indian restaurant. more

We went to this place because the South Indian restaurant near I-20 & Broad River Rd. was already closed for lunch, and I had heard that Punjabi Dhaba was near that area. Now, I don't think we'll go to any other Indian restaurants. This place has a great buffet that is on of the biggest I've seen in an Indian... more
