Im quite picky when it comes to indian food, but this place had good ratings so we all said let's give it a try. I give it a 3.5/5.
I must say, the food was not the best but it wasn't bad either. The butter chicken didn't have the right flavour for any of us, it had a distinct taste from that spice they use, i guess they added too much of it. The lamb & naan bread were amazing & delicious, no complaints on that. The spinach / cheese was flavourless so we barely touched it.
Also our pitcher of beer was not good at all, beer was HOT so they added Ice in there, & since we paid for it, we forced ourselves to drink it but we left almost half of it, it was just not it. Hot beer is never good.
I must say our waitresses made the service pleasant, they were super nice & friendly throughout our visit.

I would give it another try, they had other choices on the menu I wanted to taste & sometimes the first time isn't the best impression.

Never ever am I gonna again order or go to this restaurant. I just ordered Paneer tikka masala from Uber eats & they gave me some cubes of paneer in a red gravy, & the paneer was so hard that I couldn't even break it using the force of my fingers & the taste was also very bad. I don't know what they gave me. They just took an advantage that it was an online order so they could just give me anything. This is a very, very disappointing experience & absolutely not expected from a restaurant like Punjab canteen.
