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.
It's a great restaurant & would definitely recommend the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani Chicken. The staff is responsive & warm, I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes to have great food with sweet service by the staff. The ambience is a plus!!

If only there is a way to give more stars. Absolutely amazing Indian food. Especially the biryanis. I can't believe any place can even have that much of options, just for the biryani. Some of them, just hits the spot, some of biryani options, you need to make sure you know what you are getting into before diving in. But overall, extremely addictive place. Mouth watering taste, & fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
I just visited Bawarchi, & I'm glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious. The chicken biryani was perfectly balanced with spices. The ambience was cozy & welcoming, & the staff were super friendly & helpful. They made great recommendations. If you are looking for amazing Indian food, I highly recommend this place.
Nourriture délicieuse, service personnalité & très attentionné. Nous voulions goûter à un peu de tout & ils nous ont recommandés des plats pour nous faire découvrir les classiques de l'endroit. On recommande fortement!
If I could eat here every day, I would. Their shrimp biryani is one of the hardest dishes to find in any Indian restaurant, & these guys nail it! Great selection, amazing service (people who work there know the dishes & spice levels, & can recommend something that works for you).
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!

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.
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.
