What is Punjabi cuisine?

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.

What's the difference between Indian and Punjabi cuisine?

"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.

What is tandoori chicken?

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.

What is biryani?

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.

What is butter chicken?

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.

What should I look for when eating Indian food in Zürich?

Look for authentic preparation with fresh spices rather than pre-made pastes, clear spice-level labelling, and vegetarian or vegan options — every dish at our restaurant is freshly prepared using traditional recipes.

Do you have vegetarian Indian food in Zürich?

Yes, our vegetarian selection is one of the largest on the menu — from palak paneer to chana masala and creamy dal, plus clearly marked vegan options.

Is the restaurant family-friendly?

Yes, families are very welcome. For larger family or group tables, we recommend booking ahead.

Is your restaurant good for dinner?

Yes, we serve our full menu every evening until shortly before the kitchen closes (see opening hours) — perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends, family, or a date.

Do you serve tandoori dishes?

Yes, our tandoori specialities are cooked the traditional way in a tandoor oven — from tandoori chicken tikka to tandoori paneer tikka.
