Check out the former FACT Dining Award Abu Dhabi winner.
Punjab Grill is one of the most popular Indian restaurants in Abu Dhabi. Now, it has moved from the Venitian Village to a new location inside The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal. So, if you are after a debonair dining destination, here’s what you need to know.
In 2004, Punjab Grill opened its original restaurant in Dehli. In 2010, it expanded to Mumbai, and in 2015, it expanded to Abu Dhabi. Plus, it won a FACT Dining Award in Abu Dhabi and was featured in the Abu Dhabi MICHELIN Guide.
The concept showcases North Indian cuisine, and is popular with critics as well as customers. Starters range from Goan Crispy Prawns to Naga Glazed Chilli Chicken. Mains include biryanis, grilled dishes and kebab options.
Punjab Grill Abu Dhabi is a glamorous spot. The venue spans three sections: Aaranya, the main dining area; Lotus Bar, with a lounge for cocktails as well as wines; and Peacock House, an intimate space that celebrates India’s national bird.
Interior designer Soni Aggarwal has worked on the space, which draws on the history of the restaurant. The design includes regal themes, which reflect royalty, and lions are at the centre of the theme – look out for paw prints on the table. The walls are adorned with green foliage and ivy, and it feels like you are surrounded by nature.
Executive Chef Sandeep explained: “At Punjab Grill Abu Dhabi, we’ve designed a menu that pays homage to India’s rich culinary heritage while exploring contemporary techniques. Every dish celebrates the authentic flavours of India, crafted with a dedication to quality and innovation.
“My team and I are thrilled to present a dining experience that’s as visually captivating as it is delicious, where guests can enjoy everything from time-honoured classics to imaginative creations that showcase the finest ingredients. We look forward to welcoming our guests to indulge in a truly luxurious and immersive journey through Indian cuisine.”
