Punjabi cuisine originates from the Punjab region of North India and Pakistan, known for rich, aromatic curries, tandoor-cooked dishes, freshly baked naan bread, and bold spice blends like garam masala.
"Indian cuisine" is an umbrella term covering many regional cuisines across India. Punjabi cuisine is one of these regional cuisines from North India, characterised by tandoori dishes, buttery and creamy sauces, and hearty lentil and vegetable dishes — exactly what we serve at Sher-e-Punjab.
Tandoori chicken is chicken marinated in yoghurt and spices, then cooked in a traditional clay oven (tandoor) at very high heat — giving it its signature smoky flavour and red colour.
Biryani is an aromatic rice dish where basmati rice is layered and cooked with meat, vegetables, and a blend of spices such as saffron, cardamom and cloves. We serve chicken, lamb and vegetarian biryani.
Butter chicken is one of the most famous North Indian dishes: tender chicken in a creamy tomato-butter sauce, mildly spiced and perfect with naan or rice.
