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 ordered sweet lassi, chicken korma, & garlic naan. The sweet lassi was very good, as well as the naan. The korma was good, but was missing some spices. The restaurant is large & can accommodate a lot of people.
Tandoori Nan is very good, soft & big enough in size. Chicken tandoori tikka masala is very tasty. Mutton Quorma is average. Chicken tikka roll is very good.Recommended.
Tout sur le menu semble être à la carte. Repas commandé avec degré d'épices doux /mild servi rapidement dans un francais parfait. Nourriture savoureuse mais qui a refroidi vite car assiettes de porcelaines apparemment non préchauffées. Présentation simple de chaque plat commandé. Notre petite table carrée, à banquettes sur la facade Jean-Talon O vitrée avant, fut vite couverte des plats commandés pour nous 3. Repas roboratif (sur la base de 1 pain naan + 1 plat de riz + 1 plat de viande + 1 plat de légumes par personne). Un fond sonore musical (absent lors de notre visite un lundi midi) aurait agrémenté l'expérience gustative agréable dépaysante. Le plaisir fut de partager entre convives les nombreux différents plats. Le lassi à la mangue rafraichissant & délectable fut vite bu (suite au piquant délicieux pakora curry légumes!). Ai pu rapporter bien emballé & manger le surplus de nourriture à la maison (fut bon pour 2 repas pour une personne). Il en coûta $130 pour 3 adultes, taxes & service compris. Nota bene: alcool formellement interdit. Fermé pour prières le vendredi de 13 à 14h. Autrement est ouvert 7/7 de 11 à 21h, fort pratique.
I've been eating at 786 for almost 20 years now, since their previous location on the second floor & it's one of my go-tos in Montreal. I'm suprised to read negative reviews because this place has always been consistent in my experience. My young son who only eats nan at desi restaurants, was so excited about their Chicken Chargha! =)
It's a shame. They use to be really good but it seems like their prices have increased so much. 3$ 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.

J'ai adoré manger dans ce resto pakistanais ! Le chicken biryani était super épicé, le poulet tikka sans os & le nan à l'ail était trop bon, & le veau shahi Karahi était top. L'endroit était sympa & le service était bien si tu veux goûter à une bonne cuisine pakistanaise je recommande cet endroit !
We went to this restaurant as an office outing, we ordered a bunch of different meals & all shared, & it was all excellent. We are thinking of going back for our before-holiday meal. I'm surprised by the negative reviews.
