On-a-budget, bare-bones Indian/Pakistani joints in the Tenderloin aren’t a novelty, but lunch at Punjab Kabab House is a godsend for indecisive diners. Punjab’s list of midday specials combines perennial favorites on one plate for hassle-free ordering: Select from the vegetarian (two vegetables of the day, such as spiced garbanzo beans and spinach with cubed farmer’s cheese), the “chef’s” (chicken tikka masala and a veggie) or the tandoori (a grilled tandoori chicken leg, a beef seekh kebab and, yes, a vegetable) combinations, among others. Each order comes with a pile of fluffy rice and a piece of naan anointed with a light slick of butter, and there’s even the obligatory (and complimentary) milky chai to accompany your meal. After your rather flavorful lunch, help yourself to a spoonful of breath-freshening fennel and anise seeds on the way out.
