User Reviews

I enjoyed my experience with new cuisine! I had the pleasure of a dining peer who was very familiar with the names and ingredients of the various dishes, so it was an incredible dietary journey. One I will be back to continue!

Indian buffet right off the freeway, well, why not, let's go! It wasn't crowded at all and the buffet was well stocked. Mostly I just like the tandoori chicken and the tikka masala with the basmati rice. The included naan was nice and hot and tasted good. I got my fill and was on my way. Buffets are good cause you don't have to wait for order taking, making food and being served, you just get food eat and go! I'll stop here again!

Worst Food And service! Lack of enough guest causes the food stay for days. They just keep rewarming the food until sold I think. Veggie Pakoda always burned. Look at the picture.

Been here for lunch buffet in the weekend . It’s a mixed bag experience . Tandoori chicken is tasteless and dry . Chicken curry is watered down . No Paneer pieces in Saag paneer curry . Garlic Naans are drenched in butter and hard to chew . Only saviors are pakora and yummy Gulab jamun . Affordable price for the buffet .

Update:June 2023 Food is great and very affordable. Most dishes are several dollars cheaper than Vacaville Indian Restaurants. Saturday and Sunday they have an outstanding buffet. Great place for people traveling on I-80. I meant to take pictures of the entire buffet because there is a wide variety of things to eat. I did take a picture of my plate fully loaded so hopefully you can see from that the type of food. Good food. Take-out. wish their buffet was open. I guess there is a deadly disease, that is not the flu, that is causing draconian rules to keep us from enjoying life anymore.

I’m from NY. We were looking for Indian restaurant near dixon area. Found this Panjabi Dhaba! The food was delicious, with standout dishes including the goat curry, gulab jamon, and kheer. If you're looking for a good Indian restaurant, it sounds like Panjabi Dhaba would be a great choice.

Flavor was good, just basic. Was hoping for some goat. But for a basic lunch it was OK. Old building but the service was attentive. Not a target location but good if need to pull off for a bit at lunch on the way home.

Delicious food, great portions, and price. Staff don’t bother you they just let you eat which I appreciate. I will stop by there a lot.
