Hotel Sher E Punjab

The staff were humble and courteous, and the prices seemed reasonable. Everything we tried was tasty, and the starters were prepared and served nicely. Sher E Punjab Dhaba Bar cum Resturant, on Joshore Road near Madhyamgram, was neat and clean, with good attention to hygiene and food quality.

For a quiet dinner or a polished fine-dining atmosphere, this probably isn't the place. It can get crowded and noisy, especially at busy times, and the general dhaba, bar, and large-group feel may overwhelm couples or smaller groups. Some people also mention waits, staff behavior, upkeep, or hygiene, and a few dishes have disappointed: biryani that was mostly rice without much spice, or mutton that came out tough. Prices can feel high for a dhaba, particularly for some non-veg and mutton dishes, though others find the portions make the cost fair, especially for tandoori food or group meals. Still, there’s a lot of hearty Punjabi, North Indian, and Mughlai food, with generous servings. People praise the tandoori dishes, biryani, and non-veg curries, and some call the food authentic. It’s handy if you’re around Madhyamgram, Jessore Road, or the airport, and can work well for friends or families looking for a filling evening meal. Just keep in mind that quality and service can vary.

The Jessore Road branch near Kolkata airport has the feel of a well-known highway dhaba, with rustic surroundings and North Indian and Punjabi favorites like Butter Chicken, Tandoori items, and Dal Makhani. It’s popular with families and has both AC and non-AC seating. At some locations, you can even watch aircraft taking off.

There are three seating areas, and the overall atmosphere is nice. Parking is available, and the place is wheelchair accessible. They have a range of drinks, though those can feel a little pricey. The food was okay, but a few things tasted average.
