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 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..

This was one of the worst Uber Eats orders I've had. $13.99 for a tiny spring roll that was stale, hard & chewy & $13.99 honey chilli potatoes that tasted terrible, I felt like throwing up after eating it. For that price I expected food, not a sadness with sauce on it.
& seriously… why is it always Desi restaurants that mess up the basics? My people spend money on giant dine-ins, fancy decor & drama but not in the only thing customers actually pay for : GOOD FOOD.
P.S. Owner : If you would have invested in one SOLID CHEF that can keep taste & quality consistent instead of those fancy chandeliers - you'd actually have returning customers not returning refunds.
We went here for brunch & absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, well-seasoned, & felt truly authentic. Great quality & a very satisfying experience overall.
I got my food delivered & immediately had stomach ache. The food did not taste good at all chicken tikka masala had only masala & immediately after having the food we knew something is wrong. Moreover the food is overpriced for the taste they offer. It is not just about the taste but the quality of food & precautions taken for health hazards.

No doubt they used to be good back in days..but they absolute suck now & focus too much on marketing & labeling rather than quality & quantity…its about time they learn its not macdo or tims
Really disappointed with the quality of service getting lately, i love the food & bring all of my guests here since the day restaurant opened, but lately they take alteast 1 hour to prepare order, & if i order it via uber eats or online they always mess up my order. & this happened multiple times.
Not sure if there is a staffing issue but i live nearby & the quality of food is good but this is really disheartening when i have to adjust my schedule just because of their lack of service.
During my recent visit, my experience was 5 star. The staff was friendly. The food was consistently delicious. A great place for anyone looking for quality service & a satisfying meal!
The best punjabi food I've ever had, even compared to restaurants in Delhi & Punjab. It's really a cut above the rest, everything we ordered was so tasty & high quality. Wish they were in Toronto!
The service was great too, thanks for a lovely meal.
