Reviews of Punjab Canteen paint a picture of authentic Punjabi cooking served in a warm, modern setting with a vibrant atmosphere.

The staff are described as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making recommendations and enhancing the dining experience for dates, family dinners, or celebrations.

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 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

Absolutely fabulous. I have never been to such a beautiful & elegant restaurant. Very tasty dishes & served at perfect temperature. The waitress had trouble speaking in French, but she did her best. She forgot to mention about extra items that were not free of charge.
We visited this restaurant for the first time & the food was absolutely delicious & the staff was amazing, especially Amit who was the best & i really recommend this restaurant to everyone thank you 🙏🏻
Beautiful facility & huge windows in a trendy restaurant! We ordered several dishes & the next was even more amazing than the first. Butter chicken was the show star as well as the lamb masala with mint sauce. Service was top notch as the guy made drinks & made our evening excellent.

The team was very welcoming & made us feel comfortable. The meals were flavorful & presented beautifully. From beginning to end, the experience was seamless thanks to the excellent service & delicious food.
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.
