We have been one of Montreal's leading Indian restaurants since 1991. As a pioneer of Indian cuisine in the Jean Talon(Parc-Extension) area of Montreal, we have a long tradition of serving authentic Indian food the way it is enjoyed in Indian homes. Our convenient location borders Le Plateau Mont Royal, Outremont and TMR (Town of Mount Royal).
Punjab Palace is widely praised for its flavorful, authentic Indian fare and good value, with generous portions and a wide range of dishes from tandoori chicken, butter chicken and lamb curry to chicken tikka masala, mixed vegetables, paneer and plenty of naan, plus popular starters like pani puri that many say are a must try. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and the service frequently noted as friendly and attentive, making both dine-in and takeout experiences enjoyable. Reviewers repeatedly commend consistency and quality over the years, though a few observations mention occasional changes in portion size or sauce thickness and there are comments about cleanliness and renovation needs or English only service in some visits. Overall, Punjab Palace comes across as a reliable and approachable Indian restaurant in the area, delivering authentic flavors, reasonable prices and a satisfying dining experience.
My friend & I have decided to eat some Indian food after our hiking & let me tell you, this place was so great, the food was delicious, the menu has many options. We both loved all the dishes that we have ordered. Recommend to try this place if you are in mood for Indian food!
The food was very flavorful. The servings were big & reasonable for the price. The naan breads were super big. We ordered around 7-8 dishes & they brought our food out very quickly. Our waiter Tara made this whole experience pleasant during our whole stay. Would definitely come again. If you're looking for some tasty flavorful indian food at a good price, you should definitely try this place out. For 4 people it was 97$ & we ordered 7 dishes & 2 drinks.

Delicious fresh Indian food. I have ordered so many dishes from Punjab Palace including the bhagan (eggplant), Pindi-masala (okra), tandoori chicken, chilli paneer, aloo gobi (cauliflower) as well as the mango lassi, garlic naan, rice & of course veggie samosas. Such a Gem! Highly recommend for authentic Indian food.
One of the best Indian food is served here. I loved their Panipuri shots; its taste teleported me to punjab🫶 we tried several dishes & all had amazing taste. Service & cleaning 10/10. Garlic naan was super soft & tasted best with creamy buttery dal makhni. Overall, amazing place & amazing service.
I've been a loyal customer of this restaurant for years, frequenting it at least once a month, whether dining in or ordering takeout. Sadly, it seems that the quality I once loved has taken a nosedive. **BE ADVISED that there is a new chef, this is recent** & unfortunately, the food tastes nothing like it did before. The rich, authentic flavors that kept me coming back are now a distant memory. The dishes I used to crave were amazing, but now they're just okay at best. I used to overlook the occasionally slow service because the food was so exceptional, but now, with the decline in taste, there's really no reason for me to return. It's truly disappointing to see such a drastic drop. I'll be looking for a new favorite spot to satisfy my indian cravings.
This is by far The best & most authentic tasting restaurant in the area. When you're in the mood for this cuisine this is the spot. The BYOW makes it even better. I'm not one to write reviews however I will absolutely avoid Indian food all together if Punjab palace is closed ( on Wednesdays , I found out the hard way) the dishes are tasty, meats well marinated ( yes you can tell ) & the portions are fair. Do not let negative reviews steer you away this is a true Jem & it deserves all of the love ! In fact visiting tonight with some friends :)

Overall, I would strongly recommend Punjab Palace to Indian food lovers &/or adventurers. According to my first experience there (& it won’t be my last one), the value versus the quality is something to consider. They are generous with the portions & all the flavours are very present. I will definitely come back & try out other dishes though just by curiosity.

Visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday.
The food was good, we ordered 6 dishes. All of them were delicious & tasty. We ordered the garlic naan which was the best I've ever had so far. Their butter chicken is awesome! Their is no service..they didn't even open the wine for us..they just dropped a wine opener at our table..but that's fine. For the price you're paying, I won't be complaining. Best part is the BYOW!! Will def be back.
