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!

I visited this restaurant with my family for first time & the taste & flavors were amazing. Highly recommended if you want to try some delicious Indian food. We tried chole bhatura, mix parantha, gobhi parantha & masala chai, it made our day. All too good & definitely coming back here to try more. Anu & Akhwinder served us with great hospitality. Thank you so much.
I had the most delicious paranthas at this restaurant! The paranthas were perfectly crispy on the outside & soft inside, stuffed, spicy on request generously with flavorful fillings. They reminded me of authentic homemade paranthas from India. Served hot with fresh yogurt, tangy pickles, & butter melting on top-absolutely comforting & satisfying. The taste, portion size, & presentation were excellent. Definitely a must-try for anyone craving real Indian comfort food! Best chefs in town Parminder & Rajwinder.

My dining experience at this Punjabi restaurant was absolutely fantastic! The honey gobi was a knockout-perfectly crispy cauliflower coated in a sweet & tangy glaze that was incredibly addictive. It was the ideal balance of flavors & texture. To wash it all down, I had the mango lassi, & it was one of the best I've ever tasted. Rich, creamy, & bursting with the fresh, sweet flavor of ripe mango.
Everything, from the delicious food to the warm & inviting atmosphere, made for a truly memorable meal. I can't wait to go back & try more of their authentic dishes. Five stars!
We had a great experience at Punjab Canteen, Montreal. The food was delicious, freshly made, & full of authentic flavors. The service was excellent & very friendly. Highly recommend this place!
Before ordering, we specifically asked if some dishes could be made milder because of our dietary restrictions. We were assured they could accommodate & even received suggestions from the staff. Unfortunately, the food arrived exceptionally spicy, making it largely inedible for us despite the otherwise promising flavors.
?While the restaurant staff apologized, they didn't offer to replace the dishes, which was disappointing given our clear initial request. A small gesture of a complimentary mango popsicle was offered to me, but not to my husband, which felt inconsistent. Although the young lady serving us was pleasant, the overall experience fell short, especially considering the high cost for a meal we couldn't finish. I still took the leftovers home to avoid waste, but it was a regrettable outcome.
Had a great experience at Punjab Canteen! I tried the veg burger & my mom had the chana puri - both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, & their special chutney/sauce really took everything to the next level. We also had excellent service from our waitresses, Anu & Siya, who were friendly, attentive, & welcoming. Special mention to the owner, Raman, whose professionalism & warmth made our visit even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving tasty & well-prepared Indian food in Montreal!
UPDATE: Went again to try their thali & it really fell short. The Dal Makhani was Kaali Dal not actually Dal Makhani, the shahi paneer was too sweet. However I did LOVE the fact they serve the gulab jamun hot at the end of the thali as part of their thali. Great touch! Won't be going there for main course just street food. Also turn down the music just a bit please. It was at the right volume at my first visit.

This Indian restaurant offers great vegetarian options that truly stand out.Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving flavorful vegetarian dishes. Must visit..🙏🏽🙏🏽
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.
