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.
The food quality was excellent & the service was smooth & professional. Dishes were served hot & fresh, & the staff was courteous. Really enjoyed the experience.
Always delicious! Every plate is a good choice.
Lassi is a must have for the most spicy plates (but have one also just for dessert, no excuse).
Nans freshly baked just for you - terrific !
Thank you Anmol for the service.
Tasty food & loads of options! We dropped in late Friday night & even though the place wasn't busy, the kitchen was clearly hustling with takeout orders. Our server was quick to take our order & gave some great suggestions. Food came out in under 20 minutes & still packed with flavor & freshness. Definitely worth a visit
Must try. Great food best tawa roties. Good service . The girl serving us was super nice & quick. Food was amazing fresh very balanced. Worth the money
Amazing channa bhatura! 😍🥰 The bhatura was hot, fluffy, & not oily at all 👌🔥. Channa was full of flavor, perfectly spiced, & cooked just right 🫘🌶?. Served with tangy pickle & fresh onions 🧅🥒. A true Punjabi delight 🇮🇳❤? - so satisfying & tasty! 🤤✨

The food was absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered is fresh, flavourful, & cooked perfectly. The staff is also nice(Muskan, Balram ). Definitely recommend it!'
Very flavourfull, the waitress was kind & polite, place is nice, with & effort of decoration & they put music to cheer-up. Fresh food, reasonnable prices. I would give a 5 stars if it was not for the food too oily, i think they can cook with less oil, that's the only thing . Otherwise I am happy with my experience & may come back. Thank you
Almost past the place but the aroma led us in. First time here & the food was amazing. Had a non veg thali , butter chicken w/ channa masala. Food was hot fresh & delicious. Must have the Aloo Tikki with reita!! Will surely visit again.

We ordered malai kofta, paneer Tikka masala, garlic naan, laccha paratha & tandoori rotis. Both sabzis were different unlike most restaurants where everything tastes the same. Breads were fresh & overall it was a delicious dinner!
The meal was wonderful. Each dish was special in its own way. The butter chicken was memorable. & the different kinds of Nan bread were rich & delicious. I especially enjoyed the Dahi Puri with sparkling flavor & very fresh. It's a simple & plain eating place, but clean with attractive tableware. Very good Fanta in the bottle. We had hot honey balls for dessert. Awesome! & the service was great! 👏👏👏👏👏Thank you!
