" I visited this canteen for a quick lunch and I was impressed. The biryani was flavorful and satisfying. The staff were quick to serve and the environment was clean and welcoming. I definitely plan to return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family ordered a variety of dishes and, overall, it was a delightful experience. The food seemed fresh and delicious, particularly the chaat options which were tangy and crunchy! Our waiter was very friendly but seemed to be juggling multiple tables. A bit of a wait, but again, worth it for good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Punjabi Canteen is a hidden treasure! The butter chicken was simply divine, creamy and full of spices. Each bite transported me to India. I felt like I was dining at my grandmother's house! The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is cozy, although a little crowded. Will I be returning? Absolutely! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience. The service was slow, and I felt my butter chicken lacked the flavor I expected. However, the naan was good, and I appreciated the casual atmosphere. I might give it another try in the future since there were many items on the menu that caught my eye. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time visiting Punjabi Canteen and it was quite good! I enjoyed the chaat, which had the perfect spice balance. The service was efficient but felt a little rushed due to the dinner crowds. I'd love to return and taste more items from their varied menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely lunch here and enjoyed the variety of flavors! The decor was simple but inviting. While the chicken curry was flavorful, the naan could have been lighter. Overall, a satisfying experience that I'll be looking to replicate soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is fantastic! During my visit, the food tasted fresh and full of flavor, especially the paneer tikka. Service was a bit slower than expected, but the friendly atmosphere made up for it. I’ll gladly recommend this to anyone who is missing Indian food. " (*Curated Review*)
