J'ai appelé le magasin & la personne au téléphone était vraiment désagréable & pas du tout professionnelle ; elle a raccroché deux fois. Quand j'ai demandé à parler français, elle s'est énervée. Je donne zéro étoile au restaurant, le service est déplorable. 👎
This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, & unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The quantity of food was not worth the price. One of the worst experience in my life.I would not recommend this restaurant for either its taste or its quantity. If there would be a zero rating option, I will definitely pick that option.
I had bad experience at punjab canteen ( Queen marry ) , i waited for amritsari kulcha for more than one hour , & the taste of the food was not good , & its was not looking fresh even . I recommend them to improve their preparation time , if they cannot provide the food on the time , they need to tell the costumers before . it was totally wastage of time & money .
I had a disappointing experience at Punjab Canteen. I arrived at around 4:50 Pm & ordered around 5:05 PM & asked for a veg thali, but the staff told me it was only served until 5:00 PM. What's frustrating is that this timing was not mentioned anywhere on the menu or displayed in the restaurant, which is misleading for customers.
Since the thali wasn't available, we ordered chana bhatura & Amritsari naan. Unfortunately, the food quality was very poor. The chutney served with the chana bhatura & the Amritsari naan had a bitter taste. On top of that, both the naan & bhature seemed undercooked & were very thick also the chana tasted undercooked & tasted like a Ready to eat chana, which made them unpleasant to eat.
Overall, the lack of clear communication & poor food quality made this a bad experience. Definitely needs improvement. Never visiting this restaurant again.

I loved the experience
Had a wonderful experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious-full of authentic flavors & perfectly prepared. What really made our visit special, though, was the exceptional service. Anu, our waitress, was incredibly helpful, attentive, & warm throughout the meal. She made great recommendations & ensured everything was just right. Her friendly attitude truly elevated our dining experience. Highly recommend this place, & a big thank you to Anu for making our visit so enjoyable!
The best part Brian food I've had in a long time. Modern decor, nothing fancy but the food is very very very good. The naan bread was perfect & fluffy. The aloo Gobi was a good texture, The paneer butter masala was delicious. The samosas were very flavourful & not greasy. Washed it down with a mango lassi that was very refreshing. I want to go back & try all their dishes.
