About Us
Welcome to Lion of Punjab, a family-run restaurant in the heart of Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen. For us, cooking is more than a job: it is a tradition passed down through generations, and one we proudly put into every dish we serve.
Our cuisine has its roots in Punjab, a region in northern India known for its hearty curries, bold spice blends and the art of tandoori cooking. From creamy lentil dishes like Dal Makhani to tender tandoori specialities and fragrant biryani, every recipe carries this rich culinary tradition, which we carefully preserve for our guests in Frankfurt.
At the heart of our kitchen stands the Indian tandoor, where we bake fresh bread and cook meat over an open flame every day. This traditional method gives our naan its characteristic texture and our tandoori dishes their unmistakable smoky aroma. We prepare our food fresh each day, from the spice blends to the curry sauces, so every plate carries the full flavour of Punjabi cuisine.
Whether vegetarian, vegan or with meat, we make sure there is something for every taste and every diet on our menu. Hospitality matters to us just as much as flavour: we want every guest to feel as welcome as if visiting family, whether dining in, picking up a takeaway order, or celebrating with a larger group.
Sachsenhausen, with its lively, welcoming character, feels like the right home for us: a neighbourhood that brings together tradition and modern city life, much like our kitchen brings together age-old recipes with the warmth of a local Frankfurt restaurant.
We warmly invite you to discover the authentic flavours of Punjab with us: freshly prepared, cooked with passion, and served from the heart.
