Punjabi: Curry Feast!

A Pretty Spread of Punjabi’s New Presentation Style

One of the surprising things for me about coming to China was discovering that I love Indian food. I didn’t eat it growing up, as my parents just cooked Chinese food every day but I have grown to really appreciate a good curry during my years in Beijing and I have to give props to Gireesh Chowdhury, founder of Punjabi Indian restaurant on Lucky Street (across from Solana Shopping Center on Chaoyang West Road) for taking my curry obsession to the next level.

While I’ve been a loyal customer for years, I’m really excited for all the recent new developments. Gireesh has given the entire menu an overhaul and the result really goes to show that Punjabi is not your average Indian restaurant. Constantly making improvements and taking on a more contemporary presentation style with some pretty innovative recipes, Punjabi is on a league of its own when it comes to Indian cuisine in Beijing.

To do this new menu justice, we have been back four times over the course of a couple of weeks, each time to try out a smorgasbord of the new dishes. There are some on here that you definitely won’t see at other Indian restaurants around town and I also must say I love the sleek and stylish presentation!

Veggie Dinner at Punjabi: Maharaja Veggie Burger

Coming Soon to Punjabi’s Menu: Melt-in-your-Mouth Maharaja Vegetarian Burger

In an effort to incorporate more sustainable practices into our daily lifestyle and reduce our carbon footprint, a few friends and I have committed to Meatless Mondays. I strongly believe in strength in numbers and having a few environmentally-conscious foodie friends by your side makes Meatless Mondays a piece of cake.

And I’m pleased to say that Meatless Mondays has been much easier than I originally thought possible.  Since we started a few months ago, we’ve had quite a lot of fun and shared some pretty incredible meals together.

To get the ball rolling and get us pumped to stick to our commitment, I suggested that we start our first Meatless Monday tradition at Hatsune where I proved that we could fill up on way more veggie dishes than they imagined possible at a California-Japanese sushi restaurant. Since then, we’ve continued to spoil ourselves with tasty home-cooked vegetarian meals and great veggie dinners that have been so good and fun to do together that Mondays have started becoming one of the best days of the week!
