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.
We've always loved this restaurant & their food - it's usually delicious & we enjoy coming here.
However, today we had a very scary experience with our 2-year-old daughter. She was simply eating plain rice when she suddenly started coughing. Then we noticed some blood coming from her mouth. She kept putting her finger inside her mouth & couldn't swallow.
I checked with my phone light & saw a small, sharp piece (like a branch or unground spice stem) stuck in her throat. I had to act very quickly & carefully put my hand inside her mouth to remove it. It was a very stressful moment as a parent - no one wants to see their child in pain & bleeding.
Thankfully, I was able to remove it in time, but this could have turned into something much more serious.
I hope the restaurant takes this seriously & pays closer attention to cleaning & preparing spices properly. Small things like this can be very dangerous, especially for children or elderly people.
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.
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.
The food was delicious, we ordered chicken fried rice,naan ,grilled fish & chicken curry.. all were out of the world.. specially grilled fish & fried rice.. we enjoyed the food.. I highly recommend this restaurant.. portion was good too..

It's a shame. They use to be really good but it seems like their prices have increased so much. 3$ for a tiny naan on uber eats?! That's ridiculous. They have delicious chicken kebabs, chicken tikka masala however their butter chicken needs major improvement! This use to be one of my fav but now the prices are too ridiculous. Update: Food has gotten worse. We Uber food yesterday & the butter chicken was really not good. Rice was hard & sticky as well. Also when we got biriyani on their biriyani Thursday days, it seems like alot of plain rice is mixed with the actual biriyani. Very sad.
I went today it was awesome i tried Pakistani food before in many countries, today it was my first time here in Canada , it was sooo yummy i ve take butter chicken, Biryani rice , half chargha (chicken ) , seekh kebab veal , butter naan , garlic naan & mango juice, i recommend it , its between the first 5 best restaurants for me in Montreal .
