Went here for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! I got the goat curry (because I love curries) and the flavor and meat quantity were bountiful! I asked for a spice level 2/5 which was tbh a bit more spicy than I would've liked (and I drench my meals in sriracha and Tapatio haha) so next time I would get 1 or even 0. My partner ordered the lamb korma, which was equally as decadent and flavorful, and they came with a shared bowl of rice (fancy presentation of metal bowls). Service was above average, with the waiter/ maybe even owner coming by our table to ask if we needed anything/how we were enjoying our meal. Finally, the ambiance is formal(ish) and dimly lit and there were Christmas decor around which I appreciated for the holiday. At first Indian music was playing (which I loved) but as the night moved on they changed to slow English pop-rap, unfortunately (oh well :( ). Would definitely return! One last note, the place was pretty empty at 430pm, only two other customers came for in-dining, but there were maybe 7 takeout orders picked up in the time we were there so the food must be good and the place must be popular!
Delicious Indian food and a fabulous place to have in Media, PA, featuring both a terrific restaurant and a top-notch live music venue in the adjoining space. We had a potpourri of different Indian dishes and all were excellent with just the right amount of spice we requested. Will definitely come back.
I grabbed some daal makhani, garlic naan, and mango chutney to satisfy a craving I was having. I think the food and service here are pretty good. I have had authentic Pakistani food many times as New Yorker, and I understand the need to tone down the spices for the people that might not be familiar with the spice ranges of traditional Pakistani cuisine. This is a pretty (decor and color scheme) restaurant with a variety of seating options. I have eaten here like three times now, I wouldn't mind coming back a fourth time.
I've now been back to Shere-E-Punjab many times to see many bands play. This place is a hotspot in Media for great food and music. I've also tried a few more dishes and found a few in really like. The chicken tikka masala is probably my favorite. I know it's "British" Indian food but it's my favorite so far. They offer 5 spice levels. I go with the 5 but eat a lot of spicy foods, you should start lower and work your way up. The wings here are a surprising treat as well and come with a couple good dipping sauces. The main restaurant and bar is on one side and the stage on the other side of the building. For ticketed shows someone will be standing at the door into the music area selling tickets. They also have a number of free shows throughout the year check out the events section of their webpage. Pushpinder has done a great job with this place, always working with the music community and offering some great local bands. Stop in for some good Indian food and live music, they pair well together!
Always good food. We used to go to their old location in Drexel Hill. The new location in Media looks good, and they have live music that was getting ready to start. They also have a bar which is a nice bonus. We had the Palak Chat, Goat Curry, and Chicken Tikka Masala which were all good.
Best Indian food in Delco and Northern Delaware and I have been looking for YEARS. Lived in the UK for a few years which set the curry hook in me. Not afraid to bring some heat...the lamb vindaloo and roganjosh are awesome!
I recently visited Shere-e-Punjab with my husband and wow! We had such a great time. I subtracted a star because initially the person serving us was quite rude. The other servers at the restaurant were a lot more kind. I wish I had taken pictures of the restaurant. They decorated beautifully for Christmas! Definitely check them out for all the Christmas feels! We started our meal with the chicken wings. They came out smoking hot and were absolutely delicious. They were extremely flavorful. I got the garlic naan and can't wait to have it again. I also got the chicken saag which I loved. I wish the dish of rice was larger but we'll just order a second rice next time. We had the Christmas martini and the mango martini which were out of this world! I finished the meal with a caramel apple dessert which would have been delicious if it wasn't frozen. Overall, we'll be eating here again.
This place was amazing! The servers, hostess and others were all very professional. The place was decorated so nice for the Christmas holiday and you can tell a lot of hard word and love was put into the concept. From the giant gifts on the wall to the or aments hanging from the ceiling the ambiance was in inviting, warm and welcoming. The food was great, so great in fact my friends and I exchanged a little of each others food to which we all agreed that we could have ordered each others meal, then we agreed that when we came to eat there again it was a great possibility that we would. Overall we had an awesome experience and the live band connected to the restaurant next door only helped to add to the experience. Oh yeah please do not forget to order the somosas!
My wife and I love spending time in Media, PA and Shere-E-Punjab left a lasting impression we won't forget. As soon as you arrive you can't help but recognize the beautiful Christmas decorations that bring a smile to your face. My Wife and I had the mango martini and the christmas martini both were amazing, we have been going back and forth about the better cocktail. Make sure you order the chicken wings, they have an amazing flavor that I am sure you haven't experienced. My Wife ordered the chicken saag which was good and I had the lamb roganjosh, it was delicious. We enjoyed ourselves so much we didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back but make sure you stop by and tell them that I sent you.
