The Bottom Line

Amritsr Restaurant is a Punjabi-focused Indian restaurant in Al Nahda, with curries, rice dishes, stuffed kulchas and thalis. The clearest draws are the aloo kulcha, chole bhature, Sarson da Saag with Makki di Roti, and non-vegetarian thalis. Reviews often describe the food as rich, traditional and filling, while the Punjabi music, wall paintings and folk-themed décor give the dining room a strong sense of place.

Service can be a real strength: diners mention helpful menu guidance, attentive servers and welcoming staff. RTA parking was reported directly outside, with a bus stop nearby. The restaurant can also be busy enough to involve a wait for a table, so visiting outside peak periods may make the experience smoother.

There are a few cautions. Several reviews describe slow service, including delays between starters and mains, and the chole has received mixed feedback, with some diners finding it thinner or less flavourful than before. Spice levels are not always obvious, so ask before ordering if you prefer mild food or are dining with children.

Washroom hygiene has also been criticised. Prices can feel high, although one review mentioned dine-in discounts and another reported a 20% discount.
