Punjabi Cafe & Takeaway is an Indian restaurant and takeaway in the Capital food Market at 151 Willis Street, Wellington CBD, holding a 4.6 Google rating. Punjabi cooking is the tandoor-driven heart of Indian cuisine: breads blistered on the oven wall, slow-simmered dals, and gravies built on tomato, cream and butter, with vegetarian dishes holding equal standing to the meat ones. In a good Punjabi kitchen the naan is made to order and eaten hot, so it pays to time an order around it. If you are taking food home, ask for the curry and bread packed separately so nothing goes soft on the walk. Heat is adjustable in this cuisine, too — asking the kitchen to dial a dish up or down is entirely normal. Inside the Capital food Market on Willis Street, Punjabi Cafe & Takeaway makes an easy central-city stop for a workday lunch or a night off cooking.
