I was craving Indian food as we arrived in Quebec. We came across mini Punjab & loved the food, hospitality, the portions are huge. We had samosas as an appetizer & it was the size of my hand lol it tasted fresh & delicious! The masala chai was just as tasty as the food.

I recently ordered takeout & was impressed by how quick & friendly the service was. The naan truly stood out - hands down the best I've ever had. Having tried many restaurants in Montreal, I can usually tell when naan is pre-made, but this place is different. Their naan is freshly prepared on the spot, & you can genuinely taste the difference. Because of their fresh, high-quality food, this has definitely become my go-to place.

J'ai commandé le tali d'agnau je dois dire que ça m'a laissé sur ma faim… pour une raison qui m'échappe, il y avait plus de poulet que d'agneau dans mon assiette ( un pilon vs un minuscule pot de tali contenant trois tout petits morceaux d'agneau)
Le restaurant porte bien son nom MINI punjab 🫣
J'aurais du m'en douter, j'ai besoin de protéines… même si je reviens du restaurant, je dois tout de même cuisiner malgré tout…
Cette expérience me laisse sur ma FAIM… 😓

English translation follows my original review----

Un des meilleurs restaurants indiens à Montréal! Grande amatrice de cuisine indienne, j'ai essayé beaucoup de restaurants indiens dans le passé, mais celui-ci se démarque & est devenu de loin mon préféré. Très authentique cuisine du Punjab. Je n'irais plus ailleurs!

Je suis allée à de nombreuses reprises depuis leur ouverture, & en plus, je dois dire que je trouve que c'est encore meilleur de fois en fois!

J'ai pu goûter au fil du temps à plusieurs plats. Voici des highlights sur certains & les incontournables:

Leurs samosas sont excellents (les meilleurs que j'ai mangés!), de même que les plats d'agneau (viande très tendre & en bonne quantité), saag & poulet au beurre : tous super!

Côté végétarien, j'ai aussi essayé le Daal Makhni, le Chana masala, le Aloo gobi, le Baingan Bharta (fantastique), & le Palak paneer. Je recommande d'essayer plusieurs plats si vous êtes en groupe, ils sont tous délicieux.

Les thalis sont aussi une très bonne option si vous êtes seul. Petite suggestion: il serait intéressant d'avoir plus de choix de combos pour 1 ou 2 personnes. (mis à part les thalis & le combo poulet au beurre).

Les prix sont raisonnables pour la qualité & la quantité généreuse.

🌶?-- Si vous aimez très épicé & piquant, ils peuvent faire les plats plus ou moins épicés selon vos goûts, si vous le demandez :) Maintenant, quand j'y vais, le niveau d'épices est parfait pour moi à chaque fois!

L'ambiance est simple & sans prétention. Si vous mangez sur place, vous trouverez peut-être que les lieux auraient besoin d'un peu de rénovation & de déco, mais il y a un écran qui diffuse de la musique en fond & de la danse type Bollywood, ce qui est agréable & réchauffe l'ambiance. Ils ont repris les lieux d'un ancien restaurant de déjeuners, donc c'est la même déco & meubles. Mais ce n'est pas grave, car c'est un endroit convivial, & relax.

Le service est exceptionnel & vous vous sentirez bien accueillis. C'est une entreprise familiale. & on se sent comme en famille :)

Bref, le Mini Punjab est un petit joyau à Pointe St-Charles! Si vous recherchez un service chaleureux & de la nourriture indienne délicieuse & authentique dans un cadre relax, vous allez adorer. Vous pouvez aussi commander pour apportez. Ah & j'allais oublier: c'est un apportez son vin!

One of the best Indian restaurants in Montreal! As a big fan of Indian cuisine, I've tried many restaurants over the years, but this one truly stands out & has quickly become my absolute favorite. Very authentic Punjabi cuisine - I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I've been here many times since they opened, & honestly, it just keeps getting better each time.

Here are some highlights & must-tries:

Samosas: excellent (the best I've ever had!)

Lamb dishes: tender meat, generous portions

Butter Chicken: outstanding

Vegetarian options: Daal Makhni, Chana Masala, Aloo Gobi, Baingan Bharta (fantastic), Palak Paneer - all delicious. Perfect to share if you're in a group.

The thalis are also a great option if you're dining solo. One small suggestion: it would be great to have more combo options for 1 or 2 people (more lamb options, including a starter, for example?)

Prices are reasonable for the quality & generous portions.

🌶? Spice level: If you love it hot, they can adjust the spice to your taste when you ask. :)

The atmosphere is simple & unpretentious. If you dine in, you might notice the place could use a bit of renovation or décor, but there's a screen playing Bollywood music & dance, which adds warmth & charm. They took over a former breakfast spot, so the furniture & décor are the same. Still, it's cozy, casual, & welcoming.

The service is exceptional - you'll feel right at home. It's a family-run business, & you truly feel like part of the family.

In short, Mini Punjab is a hidden gem in Pointe St-Charles! If you're looking for warm service & delicious, authentic Indian food in a relaxed setting, you'll love it. Takeout is also available. & I almost forgot: it's BYOB!

We contacted mini Punjab to cater for a documentary screening, which was a great hit. We ordered their samosas, chicken tikka, chai, onion pakora, & naan.
The service was exceptional & the food was a big crowd pleaser. Definitely recommend for some authentic Indian food. Ps: this is coming from an Indian so you know its the real deal.
