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.
Popular long-standing Indian restaurant Punjab Palace in Parc-Extension with a mixed but generally positive reputation for flavorful food & good value for money. 😍😍😍😍😍

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.
Our go-to benchmark for Indian food! The portions are generous, the flavors are rich & authentic, & the service is always polite & attentive. We especially love their pani puri-it's so good we usually get 2-3 orders to go on special occasions. Highly recommend!

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.
We ordered almost half the starter items for our food (Chicken Kebab, Amritsari Fish, Chat Papadi, Pani Puri, Dahi Puri, Aaloo Tikki, Mulgatany Soup). We also ordered Aaloo Paratha & Chilli Chicken later.
The Chat Papdi & Amritsari Fish were to die for. Other foods were pretty good to eat in comparison to other Indian restaurants in the neighbourhood.
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.
Hands down, the best Indian cuisine we've experienced in Montreal-& it's our first stop every time we fly in from Florida! The service is impeccable, the food is absolutely divine, & the restaurant is spotlessly clean. If you're looking for authentic flavors paired with exceptional hospitality, this place delivers on every front. What more could you ask for?
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.
Highly recommended place to eat indian food.. it was my first visit on last monday, service was outstanding.., waitress was so kind & friendly... service given by preet & she treated us very nicely.Overall,it was amazing experience.... I'll suggest to all of you to must visit here for eating delicious & yummy food. Thanks to PUNJAB PALACE 😊

Best Indian food in the area every plate different taste beef kebab amazing Samosa beef to die for pakora great appetizer allotkki also great but let's not forget the best tandoori chicken I've tried amazing experience if you want to try Indian food
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 :)
