Outstanding! Our new favorite Orlando restaurant (of any type)! Out of all the Indian cuisine options, we chose here, based upon the reviews, and they delivered!Service: Let me start of by saying I've never had a restaurant go above and beyond like this. 2 years ago I had an Indian puffed pastry appetizer in OKC, that I've been searching for since, but didn't know the name. I showed our waitress a picture I had taken and the owner came over to look. "Oh, I know what this is. We don't have this on the menu, but I'll make it for you!", and she hurried off to the kitchen. 5 mins later I had exactly what I remembered, only better (and that's saying alot". (Dahi Puri Chaat)The entire staff gives a " You're a special guest in our home vibe". You almost want to give them a hug on the way out ?. Like coming home from being overseas and having dinner with your mom, dad and favorite aunt!Dining Room: The restaurant atmosphere has a classy Indian theme, enjoyable soft hand-drum music, and is kept up (fresh and clean).The Food: Everything had layers of flavor. Savory seasoned base, Hints of sweetness, undertones of heat (prepared to the level of heat you want).Chef's Speciality (Methi Malai Chicken) - It's similar to a Tika Masala, with more flavor all around, especially fenu greek! We heard a few other patrons order this as well! We'll be having this again.Lamb Saag - large chunks of tender lamb in a thick spinach sauce, what I'd call a spinach pesto to give it visualization. Again there's a layering of flavors. An instant flavor when you bite into it, a different flavor works through as you process it, and a third lingering flavor. It'd be a disservice to try and describe or compare it to anything else I've had (Thai, Korean, Japanese). I would definitely order this again, if it weren't for wanting to try everything else on the menu.Garlic Naan - I've had a lot of naan breads and this was the lightest by far! Lightly crispy on the edges, soft throughout!Onion Kulcha Naan - Thick, yet soft naan bread filled with onion chunks and diced cilantro. Definitely the favorite of the 2 naans we had!Rasmalai (Dessert) - paneer cheese with a sweet, floral tone (maybe cardamom & rose water). Topped with diced pistachios. Light and enjoyable even after eating too much. It's quite different than an American's idea of dessert, so keep that in mind.If you love Indian Food, you'll love New Punjab. If you've never had Indian Food, you'll love it after eating here!

Phenomenal.Chicken Tikka Marsala, Hot. Garlic naan. Both absolutely perfect.The location is great. Calm, cool, comfortable. It's a wonderful change from the loud, screaming, tourist traps of the area.I'm in town fairly regularly and this has become my new favorite place to eat.

This place is AMAAAAAZING!!! If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would. The food is delicious and very flavorful. The service made the experience even better. Everyone who works there provides outstanding service. My family and I were in Orlando for a week and stumbled across this place the night before we left. It was a shame because had we had more time we would’ve went back as many nights as possible. Putting this restaurant on our “must go” list whenever we return to Florida again.Thank you again for providing us with such a lovely and delicious experience.

The chef's specialty chicken dish was delicious and the perfect level of spicy. The portions were also great for the price. Will definitely eat here again.

Excellent Indian food. Seems fresh. Fast and very personal service. Excellent Chai/ Indian Tea. Hot, the way I like it. Highly recommend. Don't go by outside appearance.
