Why it matters
Why Punjab Grill, Ritz-Carlton Grand Canal is worth your time
After days of local food, a polished Indian dinner can be a comfort for family groups, especially for elders who want familiar spices in calm surroundings. A hotel restaurant also means reliable service and bookings.
The cost is high and the featured dishes are seafood, so this is not a first choice for strict vegetarians. Use it for a celebration and check the menu in advance; the everyday vegetarian restaurants elsewhere in this guide are cheaper and clearer. Hours and menus can change, so confirm before you go.

How to experience it
Holidify places Punjab Grill at Venetian Village in The Ritz-Carlton Grand Canal and describes Indian and Asian food. Dishes it names are salmon tikka, coconut prawns and Karavali lobster, which are seafood-led. Those are not vegetarian, so vegetarians must ask what the kitchen offers.
The page gives opening as 12:30 PM to midnight, so lunch is possible. As an Indian restaurant it is tagged Indian, but we found no menu showing a vegetarian or Jain section.
Tell the restaurant about onion and garlic restrictions when you book and ask what they can do. Use the walk through Venetian Village as part of the evening.
