For some reason I really feel that the reviews are mostly from patrons who either have no clue how big a samosa actually is (Probably used to those mini frozen ones) or how an actual Indian vegetarian food tastes like. Yes the samosas are good but not great and at 1$ each they are expensive considering they are smaller than normal size. Now coming to their veg buffet, the appetizer section was bland just some old toasted so-called pakoras, the curry section was just too much they had shahi paneer / aloo mattar / Bhindi sabji / Aloo Gobi / Daal tadka / Mix veg curry / Tofu curry / Kadhi pakoda and Sarso ka saag. Whats the point of having this big of a selection if its not being rotated and kept fresh. Now the garlic naan was made fresh but absolutely bland and dry cant understand why they just couldnt splash some butter on it. They had two rice a lemon (dry and tasted bad) and a regular jeera rice, for dessert there was fruit custard and gulab jamun. The Raita had a rotten taste to it coz of the ingredients that went in. Otherwise its a one stop Indian store [Restaurant, sweet shop, grocery, ethnic wear, Religious items, Indian Movies etc] and not enough people to handle it. At 9$/person buffet probably I was expecting a bit more on freshness and taste.

4 stars to 2 stars. Heres why: Updated: I took 1 kulcha and paneer kadai to go for dinner from this place(the same day I had lunch here). While having the kulcha we found an inch long sharp piece of stone in it. That was pretty disgusting honestly. So buyers, be careful. Original Review(4 stars): Entrance to the restaurant is through the grocery. The restaurant serves only vegetarian food. Did is mostly very tasty. The grocery sells indian sweets too. The menu book is pretty weird and heavy. It shows 1 item in 1 page with photos of each item(image how many pages will there be). And the items were not arranged in any order. So it was kind of annoying and time consuming to go through the whole book. The interior is nicely decorated. Staffs were nice. Ordered for a Amritsari kulcha, pindi chole, soya kebab and Dahi bhalla. Kulcha tasted really good. Chole was a bit watery but tasty. Soya kebab was mostly burnt. Couldnt eat after a couple of bites. Unlike paneer (or chicken kebab for example) even if a part of kebab is burnt you can avoid it and eat the unburnt portion. Case is not same for the soya kebab. Otherwise the taste was OK. Dahi bhalla was a bit raw from inside. But overall it was tasty.

First time going to an Indian restaurant. Food was spicy but was excepted. My friend and I literally stopped talking and started to just spoon food into our mouths one after the other until we noticed we hadnt said a word in about five minutes. They are vegan friendly which I was insanely greatful for. Finding good vegan food outaide of my own kitchen is hard enough. I enjoyed the food and the service was good but next time bring for of the yummy garlic bread. I could take that to go. If its your first time trying out Indian food I say give this place a fair shot, your going to be surprised. Tip! Abuse the sauce area, especially if spicy food is hard to handle, its a life saver.

Very bad customer service, Food not even close taste to authentic Indian food. I think those who put reviews havent tasted any good Indian food ever in their life. Each and every curry we ordered have tasted the same. Naan we have ordered are not fresh in taste. No Kleenex on the table and didnt get enough cutleries. The only thing i liked is mango lassi. I wont recommend this restaurant to anyone anymore in my life. I would like to give 0 as review , am giving 1 star as there is no other option.

Great groceries, convenient location, exceptional service. Shan-E-Punjab is the one stop shop for all Indian grocery needs. Highly recommend it, worth your drive from anywhere, sending money to India or anywhere in Asia is easy as a 123 for reasonable price too, Mr. Singh is really friendly man and good human being, good food and great service , I would recommend It to everyone who loves good Indian food. best place to eat and shop in Stockton......

We are rookies to Indian cuisine but very eager and curious to try new things. The owner was very helpful in navigating the menu and choices. She was very pleasant and friendly as well. We stuffed ourselves on samosas, naan, and potato cakes. The spices and flavors were delicious! We will definitely go again. Yum yum!

Dal based dishes are my favorite and they do well. If you normally order hot and are disappointed to taste little to nothing, consider a medium.
