Urban Turban by VeerGi
Urban Turban by VeerGi stands out for generous, flavorful Punjabi fare, especially the sweet-savory Mumbai Dahi Puri Chaat, butter chicken pocket, lamb Rogan josh, vindaloo, and ghee-rich aloo paratha. Regulars love the warm, welcoming staff, uplifting Punjabi music, and back-room carrom tables—great for bringing friends or lingering over a meal. Service can be inconsistent, with one review citing a two-hour wait and cold dishes.

“The food was very good, flavorful, and fresh with a variety of both veg and non-veg. Portion sizes were big and filling with very friendly staff and excellent service. The atmosphere was very uplifting with punjabi music and caram tables on the side to play. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to eat and be entertained.”
“Amazing taste and fulfilling Food Strongly recommended 👍”
“Delicious!! Got the butter chicken & they added a free desert for ordering direct! Deffo will order again!”
“Dal makhani was very spicy, veerji soda felt like pani puri water with hajmola in it. Paneer was absent in paneer paratha similar to its cousin cheese paratha”
“I stopped by for lunch and my meal was AMAZING. I had the butter chicken pocket and Mumbai Dahi Puri Chaat, which is honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten, it is both sweet and savory. The portions are big which is great, so I will be having the rest for dinner tonight. Super friendly staff that I had a nice chat with at the end of my meal. Can't wait to come back and bring friends.”
“Went into the restaurant for the first time like 2 months ago, and they happened to be closed, but the owner was still there, and made me food anyways, and gave it to me for free. Sat down and played Carrom for an hour and he talked about the passion he had for cooking. Amazing food, portions, and ownership!”
“10/10 food and the nicest staff i’ve ever encountered, you’re missing out if you don’t go see for yourself!”
“Restaurant is clean and food is amazing. Wishing you the best with the restaurant!”
“Lamb Vindaloo was righteous. Not as spicy as I prefer, but the flavor was so well balanced, I think any hotter would have ruined it. Impressive. Will be back.”
“Outstanding lamb Rogan josh, friendly & prompt service! Highly recommend 👌”
