Review Summary

Royal Punjab draws praise for its flavorful, authentic Indian fare with chole bhatura and a well rounded thali standing out, along with a strong dosa selection and excellent naan. Reviewers describe rich, well seasoned curries, generous portions, and good value for money, while some feel the dessert options fall short and best to skip them. The atmosphere is described as warm and comfortable, with friendly service and a layout that suits both dining and casual working or conversation, plus a window seat that offers a pleasant breeze on hot days. Overall, the restaurant is regarded as a top neighborhood pick for home style Punjabi and Indian cooking in Montreal, delivering reliable favorites and a welcoming, affordable experience. A few dishes receive mixed notes such as chicken texture or dessert quality, but the consensus leans toward consistency, flavorful food, and strong staples that make the place a go to for many diners.

My favorite restaurant in the neighbourhood

I recently visited this place because word-of-mouth touted its chole bhatura - & they really deliver. The chole was rich & well-seasoned, & the bhatura came fluffy, warm, & perfectly puffed. Hands down some of the best chole bhatura I've had in a while.

That said, I'd recommend skipping dessert: the sweets we tried were disappointing - bland, underwhelming, & a major let-down after such a strong main dish. If you're there, go for the savory dishes & say no to the sweets.

Overall: great for a solid Indian meal - especially if you crave chole bhatura - but don't expect much from the dessert menu.

I love this place. The server who is most often there, Manjit, is SO sweet, lovely, & accommodating. The food is amazing, & the thali deal can't be beat. Such good value for beautiful, flavourful & nourishing meals every time. There is also a (?) magic window where, on even the most stifling of days, maintains a consistent breeze through it. Snag the window seat if you can! Excellent food/service/value. One of Montreal's best Punjabi restaurants hands down!

Naan bread was excellent. Perfect texture.
Dal makhani was good.
Channa was decent.
The curry chicken had a good amount of meat in it. Sauce flavor was alright but I found the chicken to have a weird texture. Not my cup of tea.
Pricing was fair. Overall good value.

5 of us were seated by the kind waitress, Manjit, in a cozy corner of the restaurant where we could relax, have conversation & dine. The atmosphere was well arranged to allow us space to talk & for others to work on their computer or chat with friends. The TV was not too loud. We knew what we wanted to order. The waitress, Manjit, was genuinely pleased that we knew what we wanted because she loves her Punjabi culture & wanted us to share & enjoy Punjabi food. & what a selection! They had Dosas which ordinarily come from Southern India. Punjabi cultural experience is Northern India. They had Indian street food like chat papri. We enjoyed fish pakoras. The chai was homemade & not from the machine which combines powdered milk & tea mixed with spices. The mango lassi was excellent.
All the other servers were very friendly & seemed to enjoy seeing us Westerners enjoying the food. Such integration of two cultures makes businesses like this succeed. & staff at Royal Punjabi on Jarry St. excelled at making our experience wholesome & amazing.

This restaurant is my favourite in the neighbourhood, I make sure to bring every visitor & friend here at least once. If I don't go at least once monthly I sincerely start to feel like my life/stomach/heart is missing something essential. Everytime I go I'm greeted by Manjit who is the absolute sweetest ! Cannot recommend enough. Affordable & delicious !

Really tasty butter chicken - not too sweet, nice spice. The naan is awesome & service is quick every time I order. It's a small place & not fancy, but the food makes up for it. Worth it!

Royal Punjab Restaurant is a hidden gem & easily one of the best Indian restaurants in Montreal! The food is rich, authentic, & full of traditional flavors. Their baby goat curry is hands down the best in the city - tender, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. The staff is always welcoming, & the atmosphere is warm & inviting. Whether you're dining in or taking out, you can count on a top-quality meal every time. Highly recommended for anyone craving real, home-style Indian cooking!
