Since its inception, Punjab Grill has become one of the most critically acclaimed gourmet fine dining restaurants in India and is considered by many to be a crown jewel of North Indian Frontier gourmet cuisine. It takes you on a culinary journey into the grandeur of undivided Punjab.

Punjab Grill’s interiors are a reflection of this influence and create a dynamic visual journey and experience through the space; adapting traditional narratives and imagery yet interpreting them in an original and contemporary manner.
