This was my first time visiting Montreal. A friend recommended this restaurant to me, & I'm so glad they did. I was really hungry & craving a proper Indian breakfast. I arrived around 2 PM, & although breakfast hours were likely over, the team kindly agreed to serve me a full Indian breakfast along with some delicious Desi chai.
The food was absolutely amazing & tasted incredibly fresh. A special shout-out to Anmol, one of the crew members, for her outstanding service. Her warm & thoughtful approach to dealing with customers truly stood out-she went out of her way to accommodate what I needed.
If I ever find myself back in Montreal, I will definitely return here. Thank you for the lovely experience!
Honestly, Punjab Canteen hit the spot. The food was fire, super fresh, & tasted like real home?style comfort food. The vibe inside was relaxed & everyone was super friendly.
Big shoutout to Anmoldeep & Bunty, they really made the experience. Super chill, super helpful, & just good energy overall. You can tell they actually care about the customers.
