Taste of Punjab

 Taste of Punjab
1241 E 8600 S
Sandy, UT 84094

Based on some of the poor reviews provided by tards on Yelp, I believe that I might be able to shed some light on previous negative comments.  When in Utah one is limited to the options while attempting to partake in adult beverage consumption or enjoying a phantasmically seasoned dish of ethnic food, no surprise there.  For some of the prior negative statements referencing the follies of Taste of Punjab and their lack of "Vegetarian" options, let's clarify something.  This restaurant offers a menu that coincides with the culinary tastes of the northern region of India, cities such as Punjab, Rajasthan, and Meerut.  As opposed to southern Indian cities who's diet is primarily focused around grains, coconut, and vegetables which is much more in tune with a vegetarian diet.  So if one is so inclined to enjoy a vegetarian version of tactfully seasoned Indian food that offers a menu which is more appeasing to a vegetarian diet I would recommend visiting restaurants whose founders have migrated or created their menu from the influences  of  southern Indian regions like Bengaluru, Karnataka, Mysore, or Tamil Nadu.
So why the long winded explanation prior to delving into the "meat" of this review?  Well it's pretty simple really.  Many years ago my father passed on some wise words that go as such, "when in beef country, order beef, when in seafood country, order seafood."  Pretty simple equation, enjoy and appreciate what the restaurant and region you are in offers as a specialty and you will have no encounters of unnecessary disappointment.
I' am willing to bet you all the beer in Colorado that you will not be disappointed when ordering either the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Tikka Saag, or Lamb Curry.  When you combo any of these dishes with some Naan (that I must say is nothing short of top shelf here) , and an appetizer of Papadum to gently coax your taste buds with the imperceptible path you  have selected for the evening will most certainly result in a leg shaking food orgasm.
Instead of ruining the surprise of what each dish and entrée contains I will instead leave you the reader with this nugget of knowledge.  I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively thorough the years and I must say that Taste of Punjab offers a remarkably tasteful menu.  If you find yourself receiving poor service from this establishment, well I would be willing to wager that it wouldn't be hard to build a case proving you are a dickhole.  During the past several visits I have made to Utah, this restaurant has been included in the "must see" category and I haven't been able to find anything worth complaining about.  Their curries are thick, texturally enticing, incredibly well seasoned, and assuming you are not residing on the arrogant side of life, the staff is attentive, friendly, and are very receptive when it comes to the level of spiciness your palate is able to endure.
