Review Summary

Reviews present Bawarchi as a lively spot where biryani is the star and portions are generous, with many dishes described as flavorful, authentic and well cooked, especially various biryani varieties and curries like butter chicken, lamb korma and shrimp. Praise for service and friendly staff is common, though some comments note slower service during peak hours and occasional mis-timed orders or missing items. Spice level is a recurring theme, with some dishes described as genuinely spicy and others noted as milder or adjustable, and overall food quality and value are repeatedly highlighted as strong. Several reviews compare the restaurant favorably to other Montreal Indian spots, calling it a top biryani destination and a reliable go-to for authentic flavors, while a few caveats include crowded seating, noise and room for better organization during rushes.

We tried Guntur chicken & Green chilli dum Biryani from this place during our visit recently to Montreal. I must say that the food was great. We recommend everyone to try this Indian cuisine if you are in Montréal.

Had Bawarchi Special Chicken Biryani. Worth it. Best Biryani in Canada.

My husband & I came here for dinner tonight. We ordered the Samosa Chaat, Ghee Roast Kaju Shrimp Biryani, & two veg samosas. The spices complimented the flavours of the dishes well. The Samosa Chaat was quite different from ones I've had at other local restaurants, but their combination of spices added an authentic taste. The atmosphere was nice - we enjoyed the music! One thing we both really appreciated about this restaurant was the menu. They had separates pages for the meat dishes, seafood dishes, & vegetarian dishes, making it easy for people with different dietary restrictions to navigate. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because there are two Indian restaurants in the area where we eat often & have a strong preference for their Thalis & Chaats. But we would eat here again, & recommend to anyone looking for a quick bite to eat near Saint-Catherine.

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!

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.
