We had no idea what we would find that Sunday afternoon; we simply followed some positive reviews & set off on an adventure.
The place is small but spacious enough to accommodate our group of six, alongside other customers. It was pleasantly clean & tidy. The service was warm & friendly-& our waiter was bilingual.

I ordered chicken fried rice, & my wife had the Beef Bhuna. My friends chose dishes with names we couldn't even pronounce.

But the real stars were the unexpected flavors of the dishes served: piping hot & bursting with tastes that sizzled on the palate-pure Asian energy that makes you feel like a tiger. ;)

We all left feeling wonderfully happy after that comforting dinner on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Delicious food. I was confused about the combination but the 2 types of cuisine: Viet (I think also thai) & Bangladesh, not fusion. Each cuisine. Owners are from Bangladesh but love Vietnamese food & was trained by Vietnamese chefs.

Also, only halal so no pork here.

I only tried food that was Bangladesh as that was different for me & it did not disappoint! The food was so good I actually forgot to take a picture. Some items weren't available when we went Sunday at around 8pm. We had entrees of Fuchka which ws so interesting to eat. It was light, crispy on the outside I couldn't make sense of what it would taste like or if I'd like it based on reading the description but it's delicious & full of flavor & feels light & texturally, works.

For my main I had the chicken Bhuna, never having tried it before. It's not a heavy rich curry but that doesn't mean it lacks flavor. It feels lighter in some ways than a Japanese curry or Indian curry I've had but it had some familiar tones. Also really good.

We dined in & tea was included which was nice as so many places charge for this. Highly recommend, good prices, will go back.

I'm so happy to find a halal pho restaurant in Montreal. I ordered the Beef Pho, Chicken Spring Rolls, & Chicken Fried Rice.

The chicken fried rice was absolutely delicious, & the seasoning was perfect. It tasted just like authentic Indonesian fried rice. The chicken spring rolls were crispy & flavorful, & the Beef Pho was also excellent, with a generous amount of tender beef.

The restaurant staff were very friendly & welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Picture included of entire order - hadn't taken a bite yet.

This order was around $40 of food, & nothing like the pictures provided on their site. As an example, one of the skewers came with two small pieces of chicken instead.

After ordering, the order took around an hour to come in, then the delivery said it was delivered 10 minutes prior to it actually being delivered cold.

The food was delicious, though I'd suggest ordering more if it's within your price range. The fish bhuna (top right) was flavourful & tender but multiple bites came with a bone included. The chicken skewers were tender & crispy, & the dal puri (top left) was flaky & pleasant.

Also important to note I ordered an hour before close & they had warned me they were extremely busy, so this could explain the wait.

Had the pho with beef & the chicken banh mi, & both were really good. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, & everything was full of flavor. The service was excellent as well, friendly, attentive, & welcoming. Overall, a great experience & I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

Food was ok. Pho didnt have much meat or ingredients. Some skewers & fried chicken were quite dry. Service was friendly.

I love this restaurant, the first time I ordered Pho it was soooo goood , the atmosphere was so nice , the customer service so kind & such nice food , next time I came I ordered pho again because I mean why not , still as good no inconsistencies , then the next time I came I ordered Ban Mi , It was amazing omg I loved it , it was so fresh I was lowkey smiling eating it , the chicken roll was amazing , then after the next time I took takeout for Haleem for that I have critics , the taste wasn't bad but it was soooo watery , so it didn't feel nice eating it , I would suggest maybe making it more thicker by evaporating the water or shredding the beef like traditional haleem & evaporating it , I came home & evaporated the Haleem tasted much better , so it's not a matter of taste but texture so that needs improving & I really wished the chicken rolls had more chicken since 2 were 10$ mostly filled with veggies less chicken but either way I highly recommend this place based on the dishes I tried .
