Shere-E-Punjab

What Shere-E-Punjab does

Shere-E-Punjab is a privately held, for-profit Indian restaurant operator headquartered in Media, Pennsylvania, with two dine-in locations in Media (208-210 West State St) and Glen Mills (301 Byers Dr, Suite 15). The Media site is the operational anchor and includes Punjab Live, an on-site live music venue that hosts a regular calendar of tribute bands (Grateful Dead, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Phish), jazz jams, original acts, and charity benefit concerts scheduled through at least September 2026. The Glen Mills site functions as a standard restaurant unit without the music venue format.

The business runs on a conventional restaurant technology stack — ToastTab for direct online pickup ordering, Grubhub for delivery, and Eventbrite for ticketed events — with no proprietary technology, mobile app, or AI-driven tooling disclosed. Core products are the dine-in and off-premise Indian cuisine experience, the Punjab Live event programming, gift cards in $25-$200 denominations, and branded merchandise ($20 t-shirts). The restaurant serves local Delaware County, PA residents and live music enthusiasts; no enterprise or institutional customers are named.

The revenue model is multi-stream and consumer-facing: in-restaurant and off-premise food and beverage sales, Eventbrite ticket revenue (some events free, others around $20 per person), gift card prepayments, and modest merchandise sales. Marketing is conducted primarily through Instagram (@shereepunjab, @punjablivemedia), Facebook event promotion, and the company website. No ownership, management, investor, or financial information is disclosed beyond a Pennsylvania operating entity with 11-50 employees.
