“ I ordered the butter chicken, vegetable samosa, mango lassi, and puri. The samosa was gigantic and perfectly fried. The butter chicken was rich and creamy exactly how it should be. The lassi and puri were amazing too. Overall their food is definitely not "light" but it's delicious with lots of complex flavors, goes great after working out, can't wait to eat here again! ”

“ This Indian/punjabi restaurant is really awesome and opens at 4 PM and closes at 4:00 AM. They are really busy, therefore please provide ample time to cook food. ”
“ I’ve seen some of the one star reviews and completely disagree. Feels like they’re being attacked by other competitors in the area. I’ve literally been here 4 times for dine-in & ordered for take out 3 times - since they have been opened. Staff: they’re super friendly & explain foods if needed. Food: Tasty! There is flavor! If you want spicy - they’ll make it spicy! Trust me. I’ve had their butter chicken, chicken Tikka, sag paneer, and literally all of the naan varieties they have to offer. They make a great mixed Biryani. Chai is good here too. Price: I’d say average for the neighborhood. Decor: is nice. The front counter is a truck front end. I think it’s still a work in progress for the rest of the place. Great Indian / Punjabi restaurant now on Rockaway. ”

About
Apna pind
Welcome to Apna Pind, a hidden gem nestled at 118-16 Rockaway Blvd in South Ozone Park, NY. This Punjabi haven offers a delightful culinary experience that transports you straight to the vibrant streets of Punjab with each bite. Their menu is a symphony of flavors, showcasing a variety of tandoori entrees, biryani specialties, and traditional breads, each crafted with love and authenticity.
As I stepped into Apna Pind, I was immediately struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The caring staff greeted me with genuine smiles, setting the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The first dish that caught my eye was the Seekh Kabab, spiced skewered chicken cooked slowly in the tandoor. It was perfectly tender and infused with the essence of diced onions and peppers. At just $10.99, it is a steal!
Moving on to their biryani offerings, I couldn’t resist trying the Chicken Biryani. This aromatic dish featured tender pieces of chicken layered within fluffy basmati rice, all beautifully infused with a complex blend of spices. The vibrant garnishes of fresh herbs added a refreshing touch—a true delight for the senses, priced at $14.99.
The hallmark of any Punjabi meal is the bread, and Apna Pind delivers with traditional options like Garlic Naan and Poori. I particularly enjoyed the garlic naan, with its perfect crispiness and a rich garlic flavor that complemented the butter chicken beautifully. Speaking of which, the Butter Chicken here has received rave reviews for its rich and creamy texture, showcasing a culinary expertise that I couldn't agree more with.
Don't overlook the side dishes either! The perfectly fried Vegetable Samosas are enormous and packed with flavor. Diners rave about the Mango Lassi, a refreshing companion to spice up any meal. With prices that are as friendly as the staff, Apna Pind stands out as an exceptional value, making it easy to indulge in a hearty meal without breaking the bank.
In this vibrant dining spot, every element of the meal resonates with authenticity and flavor. Whether you're enjoying a meal with friends or indulging in a peaceful evening solo, Apna Pind has left an indelible mark on my palate. As I savored the last of my meal, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the chance to experience the rich heritage of Punjab, right here in New York. For a savory adventure that delights the senses, Apna Pind is undoubtedly a place you should not miss.
