Best indian food ive tried in mtl!! Staff is very very friendly. I go there at least once a month since last april. Food quality & taste is very consistent & very affordable. I usually get the lamb curry & butter chicken with butter naan & samosas. The thali is a really good option if you go before 5. Worth every penny & I will keep going there!!!
I recently tried chole bhature at this place, & I must say it was absolutely delicious! The bhature were perfectly fluffy & crisp, while the chole had a rich, flavorful gravy with just the right balance of spices. It was definitely a standout dish that I would highly recommend. However, I was quite disappointed with the butter chicken & kadhai chicken. The flavors were decent, but the quality of the chicken itself was not up to the mark. It felt like the chicken was made two days before, as the texture was off & lacked freshness. This really took away from the overall experience, which was quite disappointing considering the otherwise great food. Overall, if you're looking for a good chole bhature experience, this place is worth visiting, but the chicken dishes might not meet expectations.
We went for the very first time to Montreal & to Punjab Canteen too. The food was so tasty so good in quality & quantity, Staff was so friendly & helping . A must place to go if you want to taste the actual Indian flavours. (We tried Amritsari kulcha & Honey chilli potato) Good food makes good mood is a true saying i can saying after visiting this place.
I visited in the evening last week, The food quality is very good but the employees who serve the food they are not asking to the customers for ordersnot ask about do you need anything else.

I am very dissatisfied with the food. It was extremely spicy, & the first bite felt unbearable. I went to this restaurant yesterday for lunch with a friend. I specifically asked for non-spicy food & emphasized several times that I cannot tolerate spicy food. Despite that, the first dish they brought was incredibly chili-hot. They replaced it, but even after the change, the food was still very spicy. The server mentioned that their dishes are typically even spicier. I had to drink a lot of water & eat only bread to cope with the burning sensation in my mouth & throat. After two more attempts, they finally brought a non-spicy dish, but the quality of the chicken was very poor. I have never eaten such low-quality food in my life. I could NOT even tell which part of the chicken was used. To sum it up, I could have gotten much better food for half the price I paid. I wasted money & experienced a great deal of discomfort. I will never, ever go to this restaurant again. ☹🙁😕
We came from Toronto to visit Montreal & found this place online. It did not disappoint! The food was so fresh, great quality! The Amritsari kulche were some of the best that we have ever had! Such a treat, everything was delicious! Great service as well!
Best Service from the staff. Very personalised & good quality food. Must Try Butter Chicken & Thali. Thank you Team. Best Cook & staff here. Sending lots of love to the owner for making sure service is up to the mark ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lamb curry is so sticky & hard .butter naan made by unprofessional person it's hard to eat.we are regular customers but quality is very low.& prices are increased.we told receptionist to prepare grilled chicken nicely as my husband throw in garbage last time but again they make it no good. We are totally disappointed. I don't recommend to anybody to eat there.
