What guests say about Punjab Canteen

Punjab Canteen has a very good overall reputation in Montreal, with many positive reviews about the food, service, and atmosphere. Several customers say the dishes are tasty, fresh, and authentic, and that the staff is often courteous and attentive. However, some reviews point to consistency issues, especially with takeout or delivery orders, with portions seen as small, poorly prepared dishes, or order mistakes. It is therefore a good choice if you are looking for a well-liked Indian dining experience, but it is best to be cautious with orders outside the dining room.

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 and 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 and it was cold and did not seem like a masala tea will never try try this restaurant ever again overpriced and please make sure check your bills and 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.. and just 5 appetizers cost me around $118.00 way to expensive and Quantity and Quality both were very poor..

I ordered chilli paneer today 18 may from punjab canteen and 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 and 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 and 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 and buttery. Hope the restaurant improves consistency and checks orders before packing.”

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, and now all I think is of diarrhea when looking at your food and your cleaning standards. Keep feeding people trash. Thanks.

The food was so good and 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.

Very disappointing experience. We found hair in one of the garlic naan breads and also in the curd, which was completely unacceptable. What made it worse was the lack of accountability from the staff. Instead of properly addressing the issue or apologizing sincerely, they simply removed the curd from the bill as if that solved everything. Poor hygiene, poor customer service, and no professionalism. Definitely not recommending this place.

Loved the ambience and overall atmosphere. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Just a couple of small suggestions — the paneer could be a bit softer, and the music volume could be slightly lower. Overall, it was a fantastic night.
