Reviews of Punjab Canteen paint a picture of authentic Punjabi cooking served in a warm, modern setting with a vibrant atmosphere. Diners consistently praise the rich, flavorful curries, buttery naan, Amritsari kulcha, paneer dishes, dal makhani, and especially butter chicken, calling it among the best in Montreal, with generous portions and attractive presentation. The staff are described as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making recommendations and enhancing the dining experience for dates, family dinners, or celebrations. The ambiance is often highlighted as stylish and cozy, though a few comments mention occasional delays during peak times, music that is sometimes loud, or spice levels that should be adjusted upon request, along with notes about value. Overall, the restaurant is seen as a top option for Indian and Punjabi flavors in Montreal, delivering an experience that blends traditional taste with contemporary vibes, while some guests suggest minor improvements in consistency and service speed.
I had mentioned 2 orders - one Amritsari kulcha with gobi & one with aloo - but they packed both as aloo. I've attached pictures below. On top of that, it was extremely bland & overcooked. The chicken was even worse - very poor packaging, & first of all, it was not even fresh. It didn't seem fresh for at least 2-3 days, it even smelled bad.
What is a customer supposed to do in this situation? I ordered through Uber, at least there should be some basic sense of responsibility. The owner & the cook should have some shame. If you're taking orders, the owner should pay attention to takeout quality, & the chef should actually do their job properly. It's disappointing to see our own desi Punjabi people becoming so careless & unprofessional..bai j nahi kam hunda apda ghare baith jo ya kite warehouse shifta lalo koi order karda khan nu take out bdia bna kya kro jma malang te vehlad ban rhe ne..uni hi priority rakho jini dining di a food di take out v paise de k krvayi da na ki free ch..

I ordered 2 portions of their new chicken 65 & this what i got for 35 dollars not worth the price & the portion is also very small. Never going to come here again experience was not good & taste is also so so . 🙄 & they also took a lot of time to give the order.
We had such a wonderful dining experience at punjab canteen Montreal. This restaurant perfectly combines authentic Indian flavors with a modern, stylish atmosphere, making it one of the best places for Indian vegetarian food in Montreal.
The ambiance was warm, trendy, & inviting - great for a date night, family dinner, or group outing. The staff was attentive & knowledgeable, helping us choose the best vegetarian options from the menu.
We tried a selection of vegetarian appetizers, main dishes, refreshing drinks, & desserts. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, & well-balanced in spices. The curries were rich & aromatic, the naan was fresh & soft, & the drinks complemented the meal perfectly. The desserts were an excellent way to end the evening, with authentic Indian flavors presented in a modern style.
