At the heart of Paris’s bustling 15th arrondissement, Al Punjab serves up a chicken menu that keeps you coming back for more. While exploring its rich Indian classics, the standout platters are Butter Chicken, Poulet Tikka Masala, and Poulet Korma, each hovering around €12 and bursting with aromatic spices and creamy sauces that speak to authentic South Asian cooking. The Butter Chicken delights with tender morsels bathed in a velvety tomato‑cream sauce that balances sweetness and spice, whereas the Poulet Tikka Masala layers smoky grilled chicken with a tangy, well‑rounded curry. Poulet Korma, on the other hand, leans into softer, fragrant notes of cashew and coconut that make every bite comforting and lush.
What I appreciated as a reviewer is how these classic dishes are both familiar and distinctive, with rich sauces that cling perfectly to rice or naan and give just enough heat without overwhelming. The menu isn’t limited to just chicken-there’s a variety of curries and sides-but the chicken mains truly anchor the experience, making them ideal for first‑timers and regulars alike. Coupled with fresh basmati rice, warm breads, and cooling lassis, the lineup feels balanced and satisfying, keeping the flavours bold yet approachable. Gastronomically, this makes Al Punjab a reliable spot for anyone craving quality Indian dishes in a casual Parisian setting.
