Poornima

What it’s like

A Punjabi kitchen in Southall that's been cooking from the same recipes since 1997, open 10am to 10pm every day for lunch and dinner.

A family-run Punjabi kitchen that's been going since 1997, still cooking from the original recipes. You come here for a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick bite, and it works for lunch or dinner because the doors stay open from 10am to 10pm every day of the week. That long stretch is handy if your lot eat early or you're feeding a group that can't agree on a time.

It's a Southall restaurant in the traditional mould: indoor seating, table service, curries and breads built on recipes Surinder and Kaushalya started with nearly thirty years ago. The site calls it one of the area's longest-standing places, which tells you something about consistency. Nothing here is pitched at children in particular, so plan on sharing from the main menu rather than ordering off a kids' list.

Being open all day means you can dodge the rush. Book an early lunch if you've got small children, or a later dinner if you'd rather eat once they're down. There's no online booking link, so it's a case of ringing or walking in.

Given how thin the family details are on their own site, the honest answer is that this is a straightforward restaurant rather than a child-focused one, and you'll want to ring ahead about anything specific before a big family outing.
