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.
The food was really delicious & fresh. The staff were friendly & the service was quick. The restaurant was clean & had a nice atmosphere. I really enjoyed my visit & would definitely come back again.
Food is so delecious & the service is very quick. I personally recommend to everyone please visit once & you ll have a great experience. Anu served us, she is very polite & have a great experience.

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.
Amazing experience like always, my friend tried indian food for the first time. The staff is great & they were very courteous. Anu & Anju helped us. We had a great experience.
Highly recommend it.

It is a decent Indian restaurant. Lots of authentic Indian food with lots of customization. It is also affordable & it is mainly for students so the price is good. I like coming here whenever I am feeling homesick. In the summer they have sugarcane juice which is delicious.
Recently I tried the vada pav & it was delicious. The 2 chutneys were great. Spicy & sweet. Great job!
We visited last time everything was fine & service & food amazing but this time service is to bad still waiting for order almost 1 hour ago we ordered
Still they showing ego
Worst service eve
