Review Summary

Punjab Canteen offers authentic Punjabi flavors with fresh ingredients and generous portions in a warm, welcoming atmosphere for lunch or dinner, and is frequently praised for delicious food and attentive, friendly service. Reviewers describe consistency in taste and a home-like vibe, with reliable, helpful staff and clean surroundings. While most experiences are highly positive and recommendations flow, some notes point to occasional slow service during peak hours, music that is sometimes loud, and a few menu readability or spice level issues that affected certain meals. Overall, it is viewed as a top choice for real Indian comfort food in Montreal, delivering strong hospitality, good value, and memorable flavors that encourage repeat visits.

Our first family dining out Indian food experience at Montreal was amazing at La Cantine Punjab restaurant. Amazing food with great hospitality by our server Siya.

It's our second visit. After visit somany indian restaurant finally found a one which is worth the money & also taste wise it's 99% authentic top notch👌🏻. Their plating is really good. They have some unique dishes in both veg & non veg which we can't get in other indian restaurants. Service was really good when i came first time but second time could be better a bit (may be the waitress is new) over all great experience. Will come again n again & will recommend to the people. Thanks.

Had a great time with friends & family. The food had pure Indian taste which is missing in most of the Indian restaurants in foreign countries. Amazing service provided by Harman, being so helpful & friendly with us. Highly recommend this place to all.

The best food, The best services, I would say this for sure. From appetizers to desserts, this restaurant exceeded all our expectations! The services are quite fast as we don't need to wait much for the food. Though this is really a good thing. The staff & the manager are very polite & they guys greet very well to the customers. Although I would surely say this , The best Indian restaurant with the best ambience in montreal.

This is a great spot for all Indian cuisine lovers. We tried the tandoori panner tikka & Chana Bhatura, both were just delicious. Also, a very special shoutout to Harman. He is a true all-rounder. He was handling the bar, bringing food out & handling cash counter all by himself ! Overall great service & nice ambiance

My wife & I decided that we needed to add some more spice in our lives, so what better way to achieve this but to visit La Cantine Punjab on Queen Mary Road. We started off with a tummy warming thick Lentil Soup. I ordered the Chicken Malai Tikka which was in my humble opinion, absolutely the most mouthwatering & tender pieces of chicken that I have ever tasted in an Indian restaurant. My wife chose the Chicken Tikka, also a very delicious dish. The portions were extremely generous & the service was friendly & efficient throughout our meal. So if you would also like to spice up your life, I suggest that you stop by La Cantine Punjab. You won't be disappointed.

I recently visited this place & was excited to find an Indian restaurant in Montreal. I ordered ahead at this location but had to wait for a long time to get my order. The ambience is good & would recommend dining here. However, the food is average. We got the Chucjen Biryani to go & the taste was not as good. It was more like a Pulao than a Biryani.
