Paneer & Vegetarian in Garden Grove
Punjabi vegetarian cooking is not a side note — in half the homes of Punjab it is the whole table. This menu takes it seriously: shahi paneer in a royal cashew-cream gravy, palak paneer with fresh spinach blended in-house, paneer tikka masala for the char-plus-gravy crowd, and sarson da saag, the mustard-greens classic that Punjabi grandmothers measure every restaurant against. Chili mushroom brings the Indo-Chinese heat without meat, and Amritsari channa delivers the chickpea curry that anchors a thousand vegetarian lunches. Everything can be made vegan on request except the paneer dishes — and several already are.
Our Paneer & Vegetarian Menu
Why Urban Punjab Paneer & Vegetarian
Our paneer is soft-set and never rubbery, the spinach for palak is blanched and blended fresh instead of poured from frozen, and the saag is finished with makki-style butter the traditional way. Vegetarian and meat dishes come off separate prep lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which dishes are vegan or can be made vegan?+
Chana masala, Amritsari channa, chili mushroom and tadka dal are vegan or easily made vegan — just ask for no butter or cream finish. Paneer dishes contain dairy by definition.
What is sarson da saag and why does it matter?+
Slow-cooked mustard greens and spinach, the signature winter dish of rural Punjab, traditionally eaten with makki roti. It's the dish Punjabi guests use to judge whether a kitchen is real.
Is the vegetarian food cooked separately from meat?+
Vegetarian gravies and paneer dishes are prepped on their own line with their own pans. Tell us about any allergy and the kitchen will flag your order.
