786 HALAL RESTAURANT an ultimate Pakistani restaurant best for family and friends get together, parties & celebrations, business lunches, conferences, marketing & promotional launches, press conferences and many more.
786 Restaurant Halal receives mixed feedback but is frequently praised for warm hospitality, friendly service, and what many call the best naan in Montreal along with flavorful, fresh dishes and generous portions. Standout items mentioned include chicken biryani, lamb karahi, lahori chargha, haleem, and fried fish, with garlic naan and raita commonly noted as good accompaniments. The atmosphere is described as nice and suitable for families, with seating for toddlers and a prayer area that many find convenient. On the downside, several reviews point to inconsistency and occasional missteps in kitchen or service, such as butter chicken not meeting expectations, karahi not tasting right, kebabs that are undercooked, and charges for mango lassi that are not promptly resolved. Prices have risen a bit over time, and some visits experience longer wait times. Overall the restaurant is regarded as one of the better halal Pakistani options in the city for flavorful food and a welcoming staff, though experiences vary and some dishes can be hit or miss.
I ordered chicken Karahi & beef kababs. Karahi was okay but kebabs were uncooked & dry. The waiter also took order for mango lassi but never delivered & I thought she forget so no issue. After paying the bill, luckily I asked for receipt & mango lassi was charged on my bill. When I pointed it to the counter lady, she provided me ready made mango lassi( drink as you go). I was very disappointed to the service.
786 staff were friendly, service & greeting was on point. unfortunately the food was not. Butter chicken was not butter chicken.
Lamb Karai was not Karai. The only thing that we may have enjoined was the Chargha chicken & then the karak chai. Kheer also was not up to par. Shame.
I like the curries. One item was really good, forgot the name. Butter chicken was okay but not like other Indian restaurants. The chicken biryani they served was not cooked properly. Rice was half cooked & little hard. I told the waiter while paying she said it's always cooked like this,I felt like I never had (ate) biryani 😀😀😀). She didn't even apologize.
Best Halal Food in Montreal, one of best taste for halal butter chicken not to much spicy. Taste good with garlic naan. Best way to order just order butter chicken once it arrive then order naan as separate. Then you'll also get white rice 🍚 they come free otherwise it quite expensive.
Before returning to Toronto me & my wife went back to this restaurant second time three years later to try their fish which was delicious.
Yummy food was served by friendly staff in a timely manner. We ate fish, palak paneer, seekh kababs, boneless tikka with naan &
fried rice. Salad & raita was included. We also ordered Chicken biryani for takeout.
Every dish was of the highest quality & not a single one was oily like several other places I've been to. Mango lassi is highly recommended to start off. Who could leave without dessert..I ate warm & fresh Gulab jamans. Souf (Fennel seeds) was available free of cost for customers to digest the meal.

The food was good , the service as well
We took the beryani & the chicken masala & the chicken tikka masala , & naan
The chicken tikka masala wasnt as spicy as expected & the naan is a bit thick but its good
I ordered chicken roll special of the day 6$ each , to have it for iftar . Masallah the wrap was bigger then usual & the chicken was on every bite, I cannot express my gratitude only dua came from the deep of our heart . In this time where you cannot get anything in 6$ I truly felt it was a generosity for Ramadan Thank you very much .
Starting off, someone was there to receive us as soon as we entered the restaurant. The waiters were really nice & the atmosphere was good as well, apart from the old furniture & a part of the cushion of my dinner booth was sagged inside. We ordered:
1- Chicken seekh kebab, which were the highlight of the dinner.
2- Matar Paneer, not spicy at all but not much flavor either.
3- Nihari, the flavors were good but the texture wasn't; it was like I could still feel the raw flour.
4- Mango Lassi, 🥭 was a delight.
5- Garlic Naan, perfect!
The food was absolutely delicious! I tried the fish, garlic naan, & chicken seekh kebab, & everything was full of flavor. The naan was fresh & soft, & the kebab was perfectly cooked. Great food & friendly service-I'll definitely be back!
By Montreal standards for Indian food this is good. If you're used to Indian food in Scotland or England you might be disappointed. The restaurant is very clean & the service is rapid & polite. Professional. I have enjoyed the chicken tikka masala & the plain naan. The Aubergine dish is also excellent. The Hyderabad Chicken Biryani is on special each Thursday (2 for 1) & I've ordered it as a takeout.
Recently dined in with friends & here is my honest experience Firstly the servers were kind & sweet & refilled our water glasses & the dine in area was clean & tidy We ordered the chapli kebab, but unfortunately, it did not taste fresh at all. We also tried the boneless chicken kebab gravy & lamb boneless kebab gravy, which were both just average. Despite requesting a spicy level, the food was quite bland, lacking the authentic desi flavours we were expecting. Overall, we didn't enjoy the food & might not return.

Halal Indian & Pakistani restaurant Fast & friendly service. Spacious for large group of people. We had biryani rice & butter chicken; very delicious. The fresh naan is perfect with the dish.
Very good food very tasty , l love the chicken biryani , I'm going there often since 1996 & today also I take out chicken biryani again & same taste as always
Excellent food, especially chicken & lamb karhahi & Palak. Butter nan were superb. They should add French fries in their menu as children like them, along with other traditional food. Staff were attentive & service was quick. We have been to this restaurant 3 times, & each time, we're happy & satisfied with their food & service.
