INDIAN FOOD in Canada

Join us in Brampton, Ontario as we try Indian food in Canada, grabbing take-out Punjabi food from Taste of Punjab restaurant, while telling stories from our first trips to India (before we even met each other!). Editing our India series from Amritsar had us both craving delicious Punjabi dishes. Fortunately, where we are currently based in Brampton, Ontario we have options galore for Indian restaurants and more specifically Punjabi restaurants serving up authentic cuisine.

After doing a quick Google search we found a take-away restaurant that had excellent reviews and prices (Taste of Punjab) located only 15-20 minutes by car from our house. While scrolling through the extensive menu online the hardest part was narrowing down our selection. We basically took turns selecting dishes and making sure to try as many Amritsari Punjabi foods as we possibly could.

What we ended up ordering was exactly this:

Paneer Masala
Palak Paneer
Dal Makhani
Butter Chicken
Aloo Gobi
Chicken Tikka from the tandoori oven
Veg Biryani
Butter Naan
Garlic Naan
Amritsari Kulcha with Chole

Placing our order around 11:30 am we were likely one of the first customers of the day and yet they still got everything prepared in under 45 minutes. We brought home five big bags of food. We were impressed by the portions and overall price given we just ordered mostly small items. The biggest surprise of all was that we were given an extra curry with chickpeas. I'm not sure if this was a mistake or a gift for ordering so many dishes.

I can honest say we loved everything. The curries were rich, flavourful and spicy and having not sampled Indian food for such a long time we enjoyed each and every bite. Our favourites were the butter chicken and palak paneer.

I first went to India on a backpacking trip back in 2010 back in the days when I was a hardcore shoestring backpacker. Audrey on the other hand experienced her first trip to India to attend a wedding and ended up going with her sister. We have plenty of detailed stories to share from our first time visiting India which we'll share in future videos.
