Punjabi has been one of my favorite Indian holes-in-the-wall for some right now. Don't bother with Pak Punjab or some of the other Houston street hindi-spoons. This is the real deal. $3 gets you a bowl of rice topped with one of 5 (or so) tasty, homemade vegetarian dishes. Add another buck and get a plate with bread and lettuce. Always packed with local cab drivers and in-the-know Villagers, this place is an affordable gem not to be overlook at 2 am or 12 pm. As one of my close Indian friends says: ""Mmm...just like home!""
Pros: tasty, cheap, late-night
