Had an amazing dinner here. The food was full of flavor, the portions were generous, & everything arrived on time. The staff was polite & made sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. We'll definitely be back soon 😋

Very disappointing & unprofessional experience at Punjab Canteen.

We called in advance to reserve a table, but no one informed us that several of their popular dishes are not served after 10:00 p.m. This included Chole Kulcha, Amritsari Kulcha, & other specialty items. This information was not clearly mentioned on their website, nor was it communicated during our phone call.

While we were at the restaurant, we noticed that these dishes were still available on Uber Eats for pickup. After we discussed among ourselves that we could order them through Uber Eats, the items were suddenly marked unavailable. The timing made the situation feel especially rude & unprofessional.

We had arrived hungry & were left with very limited options. Future customers should confirm in advance whether the dishes they want are available, especially when visiting around or after 10:00 p.m.

The restaurant should clearly publish its kitchen timings & dish availability online & inform customers when they call to reserve a table.

I ordered amritsari kulche from Uber Eats literally the taste & quality was so stale , it's feels like they add more water to fulfill the quantity of curry , very bad experience there was no taste in the food ,
Very bad experience please don't order , they never provide good quality food service at Uber Eats

Absolutely terrible service. Everything was incredibly slow, & it felt like nobody cared about the customers. The staff showed no sense of urgency, no communication, & no concern for how long people were waiting. It was a very frustrating experience & definitely not worth the wait. This restaurant seriously needs to improve its customer service & respect people's time.

Always love to see a pani puri!

Thw chicken tikka masala was so tender & moist & quite spicy which I loved but my son couldn't eat, which the waitress did warn us about.

A little slow of service for a fairly dead restaurant.

Then ordered malai kofta & it was quite sweet almost like butternut squash soup but my son liked it.

My cocktail was sickenly sweet & I couldn't even finish it even watered down.

Also, rice not being included is 👎🏻.

Was not told we would need to go up to the counter to pat after given the check so we were just sitting there for 10+ minutes.
