I almost went to another local Indian restaurant until I noticed the special diets section of Punjab Cafe's menu. It's hard to find vegan/veg friendly places on the South Shore or at least places that itemize their menu for you - so that's a plus! I thought I knew what to expect from the food but I was blown away! I ordered the PC platter of pakoras, samosa, aloo tikki, and papadum as well as the mushroom bhaji. The food was enough for 2-3 people. Everything was amazing and prepared well. The pakoras were small and crispy, flavorful and not greasy. The samosa was giant, spiced well, and crunchy and light. Even the jasmine rice was expertly cooked and fragrant. I loved the unexpected subtle delicacy of the tamarind sauce. I've found a new favorite! Next time I'll eat inside instead of getting take out, the restaurant looked clean and well taken care of.

Damn good ribs. Stubbs serves a really good dry rub pork rib. In my opinion, the true test of a bbq place is whether it can make dry rub ribs. Dry rub is much less forgiving since you don't have sauce to cover up mistakes as you do with wet ribs. And the dry rub ribs at Stubbs are juicy, tender, and full of big barbecue flavor. I also had the beef brisket which was just ok.

Last time I went here was no so great. We ended up sitting upstairs, I was given shrimp covered tofu (or something like that), and the food was just not as good as it was the last time. I'll give it another try, just no time soon.

Went for brunch on a Sunday. Was impressed with the array of menu items on the breakfast side as well as the lunch. The staff was not overly friendly but not dismissive. Many different faces showed up to bring food, take away plates, re-fill waters, so not entirely sure who was exactly responsible for our table, but no worries. The apricot habanero spread was delicious, a perfect blend of sweet and spicy on the crumbly corn bread. Fish tacos were pretty good as well. No fishy taste that comes with tilapia sometimes and not too breaded. Margarita sangria gave me a little bit of a headache so wouldn't order that again, but there are plenty of other options.

See the 5 star reviews below. Thats' my opinion too! The pizza's are creative and 100% artisan and handmade. The gobs of mozzarella brought it all together.

Quick update: Apparently you CAN NOT BYOB Rumor has it that this was never the case, and certain unruly elements were just doing it anyway. Certain Law Enforcement elements get rustled when you drink outside a federal building, apparently (there's a Post Office next door). THE MORE YOU KNOW! (tm)
