About Saag Paneer

Saag paneer is a dish of cooked greens, usually spinach and sometimes mustard greens, with cubes of fresh paneer cheese. It is a vegetarian staple of Punjabi restaurants.

Regional versions

Palak paneer is the spinach-only version, smooth and bright green. Sarson ka saag from Punjab uses mustard greens and is eaten with makki ki roti, a corn bread. Saag aloo uses potato instead of paneer.

What to order with it

Pair it with naan, roti or jeera rice, and a dal makhani for a full vegetarian meal.

How this list is made

We started from public records, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, searched town by town for places those records miss, and read each restaurant's menu from its website or online ordering page. Places whose opening hours we could not confirm recently say so, and we check them again every month. Dishes marked "on the menu" come from the restaurant's own website or ordering page. "Usually served" is our best guess from the style of the place, so call ahead if you have your heart set on it.

Missing a place, a dish or a closure? Tell us and we will fix it.
