Flavor Of Punjab - Long Beach

The Flavor of Punjab is located in the Naples Island community of Long Beach, CA. We are so happy that this Indian restaurant is here. We really needed a quality of this caliber in 90803. My favorite is the chicken tika masala. Usually order it with medium spice and it is consistently delicious. Head over and enjoy!

This place was a delight to come visit again. The first time I had the chicken tiki marsala with garlic naan, tea and a desert. This time around it was just as great. The staff was polite but could have been a little better at keeping the water glass full. They didn 't mind us staying a little late. The food is awesome and they 'll make it as spicy as you wish. 'Level 5 ' is plenty hot but I 've tried it at an '8 ' with a side of spicy sauce to try it hotter with a few bites and let me tell you, I could only handle one bite with the extra sauce. I now call this side of sauce 'the eff you sauce ' because if you add it, your eff 'd. Haha. All in all I will continue to come back because it 's that good.

Great food! I got what I consider the white man special, veggie samosas, biryani rice, and chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. It was as good if not better than the other Indian places I have loved. I picked up and the estimated time was spot on! Since it was a to go I can't speak to the vibe inside but I would go back for the food most definitely.

I have pictures in my phone, but I 'm not sure how to upload them to here. Where to start.This was my first time dining here.A real plus, is that there is a parking lot, something not common in Long Beach.The waitress was a very sweet young girl.I decided on the Lamb Biryani, Iced Tea and Garlic Naan.These items came out in short order.The Iced Tea was crystal clear.The Naan was delicious, with puffs and browned areas.But it was the Biryani that stole the show.I poked tentatively at first, at what appeared to be just a bed of rice. Great, I thought, Sparse meat. Uh-uh.The first piece I bit into was tender, juicy and flavorful.But the surprise came when I continued to dig into the rice.There was sooo much meat, that I had a hard time coming up with enough rice to go with it.I could only eat half of it, and the Naan- I took about four pieces of it home.So it checked all the boxes.Taste, value, parking, service- would definitely reccomend!

Authentic Indian dishes. The taste was fantastic. Service was also good. My only qualm about this place was the atmosphere. The place is very small and badly maintained.I would definitely recommend this place for taking-out delicious Indian food, but not for dining-in.
