A little about this place

About Punjabi By Nature Oakville

Punjabi By Nature's Oakville branch at 261 Oak Walk Drive pairs a North Indian dining room with an Indian sweets counter, rated 4.3 on Google from 2,811 ratings. Parathas in aloo, lachha and paneer versions, soya chaap tikka, naan and the chaat-counter starters carry the menu, and the mithai case is a draw in its own right. The kitchen serves breakfast through dinner with both table and counter service and handles takeout, delivery, no-contact delivery and catering; coffee, late-night food, small plates, vegan and vegetarian options, desserts and a kids' menu are all listed.

The room is casual, cozy and trendy, parking is free on the lot and the street, and the entrance, seating, parking and washroom are step-free. Expect $10-30 per person. Tea is the weak link on the menu, and front-of-house manner is the least predictable part of a visit here.
