Great food. The curry leaf chicken starter was very good. Spicy & fresh. We also ordered the goat biryani & were satisfied.
The hygiene of the place was not very good. They had kept the high chairs of kids just outside the washroom which was disappointing.View more

The store is popular for their Biriyani...
If you love spicy then go with their Ghee Roast Chicken/Egg biriyani. If you like non-spicy, then you will love their Nawabi or Mughlai Biryani.View more

Walking into Bawarchi feels a bit like stepping into a fish market-pun absolutely intended. It's loud, crowded, & the ambience isn't exactly what you'd call refined. But once you get past the chaos, you're in for a treat.
While the North Indian options are limited, everything we ordered was spot-on. The hariyali chicken was packed with flavor, the noodles were surprisingly delicious, & the dal was simple but satisfying. The staff, despite being swamped, remained responsive & efficient.
If you're looking for a calm, quiet dinner-this isn't the place. But if you're okay with a bustling setting & care more about food than aesthetics, Bawarchi delivers where it counts: on the plate.View more

Absolutely delicious! Vijayawada biryani was flavorful, perfectly cooked, & loaded with tender meat. Karivepaku chicken starter was crispy, spicy, & topped with cashews-so addictive! Great portions & friendly service.View more

Absolutely incredible Indian food! It was so tasty & you get large portions for your money. I had the Butter Chicken Biryani & it was delicious! My mom loved her Chicken Tikka Masala. We will absolutely be back next time we're in Montreal.View more

Located near my university, this place became our go-to whenever we craved a decent biryani & some beer. Their Karvepakki Chicken Biryani is my favorite-flavorful & satisfying every time. The Chicken 65 is a perfect balance of spice, not too intense but still hits the spot. My Arabic & Canadian friends are big fans too! Proudly Indian, this spot offers authentic flavors that appeal to everyone, & it never disappoints. Definitely a place I always recommend!View more

Samosa: should be fried when customers have ordered them. Don't fry them in advance. They are not crispy nor hot.
Please add ice to the restaurant.
Spicy fish, chicken curry & veg biryani are very tasty.View more

Chicken Tikka masala made me pause, for a moment. The flavor profile of the spices, with the rice & Naan. Soooo good.View more

Bawarchi serves incredible Indian cuisine! I tried the Chicken Chili & Special Chicken Biryani-both were bursting with authentic flavors. The Chicken Chili was perfectly spiced, while the Biryani had tender chicken & aromatic rice. Generous portions & excellent service make it a must-visit for Indian food lovers.View more

Delicious, authentic. Real spicy level & the biryani is excellent. Grains are well separated & the chicken pieces are rich & complex. The service is great as well. We went on a Friday night & it was super busy. There were only two girls & they did a phenomenal job. Surprising good beer selection too (local Knowlton brewery on tap)View more

We went to this restaurant after reading some good reviews,& also were craving for biryani. We ordered chilli fish, ghee roast kaju Chicken biryani,ghee roast kaju fish biryani . Everything tasted average, with out of balance flavors & spices crying out loud. Service was quick,but the major let down was a neighboring table with three very loud guests .View more

I had been here today with my family members & the food was really good. The service was good. Miss Harini helped us & she was really professional & very comfortable & friendly to communicate with, & they took really less time to get us all our orders, which was truly commendable. We enjoyed the meal thoroughly. We really liked the chilli shrimp appetizer, karaikudi chicken curry & ghee roast mutton pulao & the lime soda at the end was so refreshing. Overall it was a meal worth enjoying. I loved it & might go back again.View more

This chicken biryani is truly exceptional-one of the best I've ever had. The flavors are perfectly balanced, with tender chicken & fragrant rice that's cooked to perfection. The portion size is generous, easily enough to satisfy two people. Highly recommended!View more

If you believe that the restaurants should have great decor as well as good food to be successful, you are wrong! This blah looking restaurant pulls in crowds from far & wide. Don't expect to take a date here or your father in law to impress. People come in starving & leave with a belly full of a-m-a-z-i-n-g fingerlicious food! With 50+ locations globally, you know the secret to their success. We ordered fish & lamb appetizers; amravati dum biryani (yes, they have two dozen dum biryanis), garlic naan, & chicken 65 curry. The entire menu is well priced & the portions are H-U-G-E. Enough leftovers for lunch the next day. My colleague also indicated that they have bought biryani at the Toronto restaurant; asked them to pack it (they pack it differently when you are flying with it) & brought it all the way to Vancouver. The day we went in, the air conditioner was busted, but I'm hoping it's fixed now & doesn't dampen the spirits of ecstasy-seeking foodies!View more

A good Indian restaurant in downtown Montreal. We tried a few other places but this one was far better than the other options. You have good vegetarian options as well here. Gongura dal that we tried was too good. I would visit this again if I get a chance to try the chicken & goat dum biryani.View more
