This was my 4th visit to the restaurant & I was not totally satisfied with the food quality this time, usually when I came before the quality was awesome & the service was also little bit fast but this time we went the family of 11 people, but the wait time was so bad & then quality of garlic naan was not good at all, it looked like it was not made in tandoor & looked more like a packed one, but I am not sure, usually when I order in my past visit, it looked fresh & freshly made from tandoor & the problem was like that when the paneer tikka curry came, the naan came after 15-20 mins, so the meantime everything was cold.

I had a disappointing experience at Punjab Canteen. I arrived at around 4:50 Pm & ordered around 5:05 PM & asked for a veg thali, but the staff told me it was only served until 5:00 PM. What's frustrating is that this timing was not mentioned anywhere on the menu or displayed in the restaurant, which is misleading for customers.
Since the thali wasn't available, we ordered chana bhatura & Amritsari naan. Unfortunately, the food quality was very poor. The chutney served with the chana bhatura & the Amritsari naan had a bitter taste. On top of that, both the naan & bhature seemed undercooked & were very thick also the chana tasted undercooked & tasted like a Ready to eat chana, which made them unpleasant to eat.
Overall, the lack of clear communication & poor food quality made this a bad experience. Definitely needs improvement. Never visiting this restaurant again.
Punjab Canteen truly stands out when it comes to delicious, authentic Punjabi food. Every dish is full of rich flavors & prepared with great care - you can really taste the freshness & quality in every bite. The portions are generous, & the food always tastes homemade, just like traditional Punjabi cooking.
The service is just as impressive - the staff are warm, friendly, & always make sure you have everything you need. The atmosphere is welcoming & gives that perfect'home away from home' vibe.
If you're looking for great taste, top-notch food quality, & excellent service, Punjab Canteen is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!
Punjab Canteen is a nice place if you love Punjabi food. The place has a desi vibe with simple, clean seating. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded, but the staff is friendly. Prices are okay for the quality & quantity of food. Overall, it's a good spot for a family lunch or dinner.

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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
