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.

We went by the good reviews, but was little disappointed. The Non Veg Thali is overpriced & don't order it. We tried a chatt, it was ok. The price is high compared to quantity. Overall, I will not return to this place. The Masala tea is very much overpriced ($5 for a small cup).
The food was super good & the employees here are super sweet!
Update: we came to eat here a few months later & it took 30 mins to get appetizers & then an hour 30 for the food to come out. I don't know if it's because they're short staffed but it wasn't that busy & it just seemed like they were prioritizing deliveries instead of the walk-ins
This restaurant doesn't just serve meals-it delivers an experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a great night out, this is the place to be. We'll definitely be coming back-& bringing friends next time!
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
We had such a wonderful dining experience at lasalle 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.
