Punjab Canteen is consistently praised for flavorful Indian cuisine with authentic Punjabi influences, including butter chicken, naan, amritsari kulcha, dal makhani, and a range of curries, all served in a warm, modern, and welcoming atmosphere. Diners highlight attentive, friendly service and knowledgeable staff who help choose great options, making it a top choice for dates, family dinners, and celebrations in Montreal. The food is described as fresh, well balanced in spices, and featuring standout breads and desserts, with generous portions and attractive presentation for both vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. Occasional notes mention tables that wobble, spice levels that vary, and occasional delays during busy times or for large groups, but the overall experience remains highly positive and many patrons plan returning visits.
I ordered chilli paneer today 18 may from punjab canteen & i got this for 14.99$. is it looked like chilli paneer?Even the taste was so bad.I think they should hire proper cooks first who actually knows how to make food or they provide proper training to thier staff & then open this restaurent again.very very dissapointed👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Be honest, is your paneer really the real paneer? Tried the food yesterday. Your Amritsari Kulcha is a disrespect to our culture. Call it Naan instead, for the love of god. You guys don't have the patience to cook mattar (peas) in your mattar paneer?
I once chose your flagship location for a corporate catering event, & now all I think is of diarrhea when looking at your food & your cleaning standards.
Keep feeding people trash. Thanks.

We ditched the traditional anniversary plans for Indian-Fusion at punjab canteen Lasalle , & it was 10/10. If you haven't tried their lamb rogan josh, you are seriously missing out-easily the star of the show! 🧇
What we ordered:
• Sweet gajrella (A total game changer)
• Paneer Tikka (Savory perfection)
• Exotic Drink + masala Lemonade for that zesty kick 🍋
The decor is just as stunning as the plates. Perfect for your next date night or girls' brunch!
Loved the team & their service 🥰
We enjoyed two different, perfectly spiced biryanis & their signature Kulcha & bhatura with paneer tikka naan bomb
For the uninitiated, the kulcha, as I understand, is a traditional, Indian flatbread from the Punjab region. It's cooked in a tandoor, often stuffed with potato or gobhi, & served buttery hot.
The portions are generous we left completely stuffed! Beyond the great food, kamal was incredibly friendly, welcoming, & attentive, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
I've never had a better chicken tikka , fish pakora paneer butter masala & naan. than this,''This is absolutely delicious,''The meal was delicious, with a tangy, flavorful sauce'.
The presentation is phenomenal!''It was a work of art on the plate' & it served by Kamal was so good l
I recently visited Punjabi Canteen with all my family members, & we had an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere felt welcoming & family-friendly.
The food was authentic, flavorful, & reminded us of true Punjabi hospitality. Every dish we ordered - from the buttery dal makhani & paneer tikka, to the rich chicken curry & freshly made tandoori rotis - was delicious & served piping hot

Whenever we visit Montreal, this place is always our lunch stop. We've tried the malai kofta, butter paneer masala & kadhai paneer & all of them were really good. I'd also highly recommend the chole bhature, honestly the best I've found in Montreal. Everything we tasted was spot on. The only thing I'd suggest is turning the music down a little. We've been here three times & each time it was a bit loud, still fine to talk, but I'd personally enjoy it more with a softer volume.
I don't usually write reviews, but this one is different. The food just melts in your mouth whether it's paneer or chaap. They haven't left any stone unturned when it comes to the preparation or presentation of food. Place is super clean & the service is fantastic. Will come back here again for sure
We usually go to Snowdon one, but this was another level. We had butter naan & Shahi Paneer from here, & both were absolutely delicious. Our server was very kind.
