Punjabi by nature,
2750 Gallows Rd, Vienna, VA 22180
A punjabi dhaba is a roadside restaurant, usually seen on highways in India serving Punjabi food characterized by parathas (Indian stuffed breads), curries, and soups. While Indian menus in Northern Virginia is typically inspired by North Indian cuisine, restaurants with an explicit punjabi dhaba menu are less common. Punjabi by Nature attempts to fill in this culinary void.
I have had the opportunity to try various dishes at the Vienna location. Specifically, I have tried their chole bature (non-spicy chick peas with deep fried bread), stuffed parathas, tandoori chicken, dal (lentils), a few chicken curries and a goat curry (goat lababdar). While I was not a fan of all of these, I can make a few recommendations for an Indian palate that is craving some authentic spicy food. I liked two of their bone-in chicken curries (Lahori Murg and Murg Changezi) to have had them more than once. The murg changezi was deliciously spicy. If you are not a fan of spicy food, their dal makhani, and chole bature, tandoori chicken are recommended. Its also reasonably priced with smallish (though adequate) portion sizes. Their menu also includes kababs and kathi rolls that I am yet to try.
I am also a big fan of its ambiance. The blaring Punjabi music increases the authenticity of the overall experience.
