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 order the food Firstly Came too late understaffed Restaurant food was not upto mark only burgers were okayish Rest spring rolls were worst will never try again paid $24+tqx for those bad quality Spring rolls above that they did the fraud in the bill i paid $19.86+tax for the 4 masala tea & actual charges should be $12+tax as per menu. Uploaded the screenshot of charges of masala tea. Freaking tea which i had ordered was not on time it took 35 minutes to be served on table & it was cold & did not seem like a masala tea will never try try this restaurant ever again overpriced & please make sure check your bills & tally them before you leave.. I tried other locations they were far way better than this one will never recommend anyone especially this specific location.. & just 5 appetizers cost me around $118.00 way to expensive & Quantity & Quality both were very poor..

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👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
'I ordered butter naan for takeout, but when I opened it at home, it was very hard & dry. It didn't look or taste like proper butter naan at all. I was disappointed with the quality, especially since fresh butter naan should be soft & buttery. Hope the restaurant improves consistency & checks orders before packing.'
The food was delicious...very authentic punjabi flavor. The portion size was also very appropriate. Definitely going back again. The server was also very polite & helpful.
This place is an absolute gem in every way. The food is just out of this world it's authentic & so tasty. The service is always on point, such a nice people. I recommend this place to everyone & everything on the menu is amazing . U can't go wrong
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.
The food was so good & service was also great by Kamal. The customer service was very good. If you want an authentic Indian cusine experience, then it's a must visit. Best restobar in Montreal.
