Honest, generous Indian cooking at unbeatable prices
If you're in Champigny-sur-Marne and craving Indian food, Le Punjab is where you go. This isn't a place trying to be fancy — it's a warm, unpretentious restaurant that nails the fundamentals: generous portions, real flavors, and prices that won't make you think twice. The butter chicken is the star here — creamy, well-spiced, and exactly what you want it to be — and the chicken tikka massala runs a close second. Order the cheese naan (nan au fromage) on the side; you'll be glad you did.
Reviewers consistently highlight the value-for-money as "imbattable" (unbeatable), and they're not wrong. The plates are generous, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming — one reviewer noted that even Indian customers found the dishes authentic and well-adapted to their tastes, which is about as strong an endorsement as an Indian restaurant in the Paris suburbs can get.
It's also available on Uber Eats if you'd rather stay home, but the dine-in experience is worth the trip. The setting is described as "chaleureux" (warm), and the staff are friendly. Go for a casual weeknight dinner or a family meal — this isn't a date-night spot, but it's a reliably excellent neighborhood restaurant that does exactly what it promises.
