we have ordered $180 worth of tasty veg indian food. food was very very rough. we have ordered chole chana, paneer tikka masala, kadhai paneer.
taste was so poor. only thing which was good was the tava roti, lassi.
definitely most of the reviews are not genuine. we have tried to remake the same sabji to the chef, but the chef was just playing the games.
sometimes its not about the money its about the quality of food. we went their after reading the reviews online. but it was a waste of time & didnt enjoyed our visit to Montreal from toronto fully due to poor taste. i hope the chef will cooperate with the server.
All of the server were very cooperative but not the chef .

Food were tasty! Service was nice! The waitress Anmol was really friendly! Though, the lighting could be better. Sometime flickers. But I recommend the food!
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, tasty & full of flavor. The staff were very friendly & attentive & especially thanks to anmoldeep, her service is quick & she focused on our need. This place is perfect for dining with family. I would definitely recommend this place & look forward to visiting again.
Thanks Punjab Canteen for giving us a great treatment. 😊
Had an amazing experience of makki di roti & sarson da saag. Everything was so tasty , took me back home almost with taste. The service by Anmol was very warm, quick & welcoming
I tried their butter chicken & naan - those were amazing! The malai chaaps were good, & the noodle burger was tasty too. The bread pakora was also impressive. The people working there were friendly & welcoming. On the downside, I didn't like the samosa at all. Overall it was a solid visit: some dishes stood out, some disappointed. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars & I might go back to try more.

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

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! 🤤✨
Amritsari kulcha is undoubtedly very tasty & packed with flavors - it's the only thing I genuinely liked about the place.
Unfortunately, the overall experience was quite disappointing. The restaurant was extremely dirty, with almost all the tables left uncleared. Shockingly, there seemed to be only one person managing everything - from taking orders to serving food.
To make matters worse, when our dish was served, there were no plates provided. We had to use tissue paper to eat, which was both uncomfortable & unhygienic.
Their service & cleanliness standards seriously need improvement. I wouldn't recommend this place unless they make some major changes.
