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.
I recently hosted a birthday celebration at your establishment & was thoroughly impressed by the ambiance, service, & culinary offerings. I highly recommend this venue.
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.
