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.
Le plat aux aubergines & patates était délicieux ainsi que les pakoras. Malheureusement je n'ai pas été aussi satisfait par le pain naan, mais j'ajoute tout de même ce restaurant sur ma liste d'endroits à revisiter.
Pakoras were the best i've eaten & the lamb pasanda is to die for! The naan breads were a little too crispy & toasted for my taste, definitely coming back :)

I went with my friend for dinner, & food was amazing. We tried fish pakoda, tandoori chicken & it was so delicious. Lamb curry with garlic naan was another level. 10/10 must try 🥰
Cela fait 20 ans que je mange au Punjab Palace ..Tandoori,Mix Vegetable,Poulet au Beurre..Délicieux pain Naan..& service sympa…La constance dans leur nourriture & le prix abordable font que j'y reviens souvent…
Convivialité & chaleur étaient au rendez-vous dans ce petit joyau du quartier indien de Montréal.
Hors-d'oeuvres & plats principaux aux arômes riches feront le bonheur de vos papilles & vous empliront la panse.
Entre le chat papri & l'agneau korma, laissez-vous tenter par un naan frais, diantre, prenez-en deux!
Étanchez votre soif au goût d'un mango lassi qui viendra compléter votre repas sur une note onctueuse.

Illustre voyageur du web, vous qui êtes sans nul doute à la recherche d'un voyage culinaire pour briser la monotonie de votre quotidien, je ne saurais vous recommander avec suffisament d'ardeur le palace punjab qui fut le théâtre d'une soirée délicieuse.
Toute bonne critique se doit de rester un tant soit peu impartiale & je me dois de vous avertir que cet établissement vous fera assurément traverser le crépuscule.
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.
Reduflation. Ne commandez pas de sandwich (roll). Les portions sont maintenant tellement réduites qu'ils ne mettent que le naan & la sauce pour le prix d'un sandwich. Pas de poulet ou de paneer dedans. J'y allais depuis des années, mais je n'y retournerai pas.
Service very slow & only 3 tables occupied but waitress was nice. 2 stars because food went downhill. Ordered chana samosa & we couldn't find a samosa, it was literally half of half a samosa the rest chickpea sauce & not much at that. The lunch spécial was ridiculous. Thali had 3 tiny pieces of butter chicken. Mostly rice & stale salad. The naan was good but its naan. The establishment is run-down. Chairs are old & ripped. Windows are dirty. So sad, its not was it usto be. Quality & quantity down, service down but prices up.
This place have the best indian food in MTL! Try the tikka massala chicken, beef kadhai + garlic naan. Only 4⭐? because of the service & the ambiance is bad. They put no music & won't come back to the table to ask if everything ok or give you more water. But you have to go there for the food!
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.
