Review Summary

Bawarchi is described as a go to for authentic Indian flavors with generous portions and especially standout biryani that many call the best in Montreal, offering a wide range from Hyderabadi dum biryani to Karuvepaku and Nawabi styles and a variety of curries like butter chicken and lamb korma. The food is repeatedly praised for rich, balanced spice and high quality, with many saying the dishes feel homely and well prepared. The atmosphere is warm and inviting but can be loud and crowded, particularly at night, and service can become slow or disorganized during peak hours though staff generally remain friendly and helpful with recommendations. Several reviews highlight attentive service and helpful guidance on spice levels, while a few note instances of missing items or delays in phone or dine in orders that were later resolved. Overall the consensus is that Bawarchi delivers delicious, flavorful biryani and Indian classics at good value, making it a reliable choice for biryani lovers and Indian food enthusiasts despite occasional dining room noise and service bottlenecks.

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.

The ghee mutton biryani & gulab jamun were excellent! Just a heads-up, their medium spice level is quite intense-more like extra spicy.

You can update the review to include a mention of Dhruv's service: Bavarchi Restaurant Review I recently visited Bavarchi Restaurant & had a fantastic experience. The ambiance is warm & welcoming, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining & family gatherings. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, especially if you're a fan of Indian cuisine. I tried their biryani, & it was flavorful, perfectly spiced, & generously portioned. The naan was fresh & fluffy, complementing the curries well. A special mention to Dhruv bhai, who provided excellent service. He was attentive, friendly, & made sure everything was perfect during our visit. His recommendations were spot on, & he made the dining experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for an authentic & satisfying meal in a comfortable setting, Bavarchi is definitely worth a visit!

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).

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.

Very flavour Biryanis & very kind of the staff to explain the appropriate spice levels. Would come again! We were served by Harini who was always available & attentive :)
