"We drove from Northern California to Texas, and this place was the last restaurant we visited on our road trip. We were tired, hungry, and the weather was cold, so we were looking for a warm place with great, healthy food. We found this spot in Amarillo, TX. The first thing that attracted us was the wonderful ambiance, which gave us the feeling of home. The decor of the place was relaxing and cozy. The food was delicious, with the right amount of spice. The vibe of this location and the good-quality food were exactly what we needed at that moment. I hope I can manage to visit this place on my next trip to Amarillo."

"I can now say I have dined at all four of Amarillo’s Indian restaurants. While they are all excellent, I do believe I saved the best for last. Punjabi Affair, in all its understated coziness and location, is simply the best. And when I make reference to location, it is hard to believe this was once a Mr. Burger hamburger joint. The current owners have done a delightful job making it look inviting, providing both indoor and patio seating.

I ordered the Chickpea Masala in the vegan rendition. This is one of the things that stands out most to me about Punjabi Affair: There are multiple items that are listed as having both vegan and non-vegan. Perfect! This makes it easy for everyone in a group to find something to their liking and dietary preference.

The presentation alone was outstanding, with rice occupying one half of the bowl, and the curry the other half, perfectly symmetrical and non-overlapping. A large piece of Naan wrapped in foil was positioned atop it, along with a thin wafer.

While I ordered Mild for spiciness, I found there to be sufficient heat to my liking. The dish was flavor-forward, thanks to an abundance of cumin and turmeric in the curry. It was so good that I instinctively slowed down if only to be able to savor it a little bit longer.

Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein. The American diet usually finds them only on salad bars as a topping for one’s greens, not as a main course. Indian food, though, frequently features them, endearing me even more to the cuisine.

I’ll be back to try some of the other vegan items, but I am also sure that my carnivorous family members would also find this place to their liking. I bet you will, too."

"We went here after looking for an Indian restaurant whilst we stayed in Amarillo for one night during our USA road trip from the uk..
We ordered chicken korma , chicken tikka masala and tandoori chicken.
The dishes were served with rice and a naan. Food was very tasty and the naan’s were some of the best we have ever had. We sat inside to eat our food and the restaurant was very clean . Would highly recommend."
