Punjabi By Nature (Oakville)

I got promotional items which are buy one and get one free. They both were packaged so less that you can easily fit everything into one container. Do not run these promotions if you have to adjust your quantity and get 1 star rating and customers who will never return.

I recently visited this restaurant and enjoyed their chole bhature, which was flavorful and authentic. The variety of vegetarian options is impressive, and the overall taste is good. The chaat and drinks, however, were just okay and could use some improvement. Still, a decent spot for those looking for vegetarian dishes.

I REEEAAALLY want to give them 5 stars because they've got such amazing food and I regularly order from them but the service is just consistently bad. I can't ever recall a time when I can honestly say I've had good customer service. They take forever to acknowledge you even if it's dead, their backs will literally be turned against you or they will be on their phones behind the counter and until you say something or they finally decide to look up, good luck getting their attention. The door literally makes a sound when you walk in but they refuse to acknowledge it. I get the vibe that they don't even like their job, or just dealing with people, which at times I can understand because I work in food service as well but at least smile or say hi? I almost feel like I need to apologize for ordering food because I'm met with nothing but a scowl. Hot food also takes FOREVER to come out-- unless you're ordering thali or dessert; today I ordered just paneer paratha and tell me why it took 20 minutes. There was only one other customer but other than that it was completely dead when I ordered. Now I've only ever purchased takeout from here so I can't speak for dine in experience, but the same employees who work at the counter are the same ones I see waiting tables so one can imagine how service might be in that setting. It's a shame because the restaurant is so vibrant and beautiful, and the food is BOMB but the staff just kind of ruins the vibe. I'm still going to order but I hope some attitude changes are made in the future so nobody has to experience that kind of service. Side note, their gajar ka halwa is the best I've ever had. Admittedly, there was a phase where I would come in at least once a week specifically for that, lol. Definitely give it a try if you stop by.

Located in a small strip mall just west of Trafalgar along Dundas St. W. in Oakville, Punjabi By Nature offers a a good selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian dishes that are reasonably priced. Additionally, they have a very good selection of sweets which are meticulously presented in a long display case that seems to automatically draw your attention as soon as you enter the restaurant. Unlike most establishments that primarily aim to provide in-house dining with an option for take-out, Punjabi By Nature appears to be geared more toward Take-Out with an option to dine-in. As you enter the restaurant, there are big blue overhead digital menus behind the cash desk and hot food area to make the order process fairly easy and straight forward. The dining part of the restaurant is fairly spacious, and consists of average size booths and open table seating that could easily be configured to accommodate large parties. Tables available for two guests appear to be too small and would likely detract from the level of comfort experienced as food and beverages arrive and are placed on the table. Aesthetically, the dining area of the restaurant is tastefully appointed with Indian themed decor that is not over the top, yet is enough to add some warmth and charm to the overall dining experience. Wait times for food will vary with the type of food ordered. Tandoori dishes normally take some time to prepare so it is quite normal for wait times of ten to twenty minutes. Food that is already available at the hot table will more than likely be served fairly quickly after placing an order. Overall, the taste and quality of the food selected was in the range okay to good. The Eggplant Bhartha was fairly decent but lacked the tartness normally experienced in other Indian restaurants. The Tandoori Chicken Leg was almost okay for grilled chicken but definitely missed the mark on achieving that robust, tart, and spicy Tandoori flavour you would expect if you were a fan of meat and fish dishes prepared in the traditional Tandoori style. On the positive, the Tandoori chicken leg was moist and tender and fresh tasting. Customer service seemed to be okay but a bit lacking. Staff appear to posess a "Down to Business" attitude with little room for being helpful or exchanging niceties. This is not to say that the level of customer service experienced was not good, just that a warmer, friendlier attitude would go along way with respect to earning a customers continued patronage well into the future. Overall, the restaurant appears to be very clean, has a good selection of hot vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items, displays a decent selection of sweets, and the taste and quality of their food items appears to be fairly decent. However, the food items selected on this visit miss the mark on possessing the robustness of flavour experienced at other Indian restaurants.

One of the high-quality Indian restaurants in Oakville. The food is good and tasty, they also serve sweets. We almost always order thali that comes with 3 sabjis, rice, naan, yogurt, and sweet dish in under $18. Total value for money! Navjot at reception is always smiling, friendly, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for Indian food.

We ordered Chana Bhatura and Saag and Makke di roti. I have never had saag before and that’s why really wanted to have it. Both the dishes were awesome. Bhaturas are big and the Chana sabji is lovely. You get salad and raita on the sides. Saag was phenomenal and so was the roti. Saag comes with Potato sabji and raita on the side. The portion size is generous. The price point is light on pocket as well. Eager to try non vegetarian dishes here. May be soon!!!

This is amazing experience for my first Indian food! I have never tried before but I have to say this is so awesome ! They are traditional and rich in flavor! The sweet cashier girl helped me order my menu because I don’t know which one is good! Thanks her so much. All her recommendations are so good! I will keep trying other foods next also because I believe I will comeback soon!
