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.
'Authentic Indian flavors in the heart of Montreal! The food was fresh, well-prepared, & full of spices that reminded me of home. Great portion sizes, friendly service, & a nice atmosphere. Best place in Montreal if you're a biryani lover! Definitely one of the best spots for Indian food in the city - highly recommended

The food at Bawarchi has authentic flavors, especially the biryani which stands out. The menu has good variety & the portions are decent. That said, the service can sometimes be a little slow during peak hours, & the seating area could be more comfortable. Overall, a good spot if you're craving Indian food in Montreal, but there's room for improvement in the dining experience
Nous avons découvert Bawarchi & ce fut une belle expérience culinaire. En entrée, nous avons choisi le hariyali chicken & le fish chili, tous deux savoureux & bien relevés. Ensuite, nous avons goûté plusieurs spécialités : le Hyderabadi dum biryani, le mutton ghee roast biryani, le spécial chicken Bawarchi biryani ainsi qu'un fish curry accompagné de riz. Pour adoucir le tout, les lassis à la mangue étaient délicieux & rafraîchissants.
La qualité des plats est indéniable : portions généreuses, assaisonnements précis & des saveurs authentiques qui rappellent vraiment l'Inde. En revanche, il faut noter que le niveau d'épices est assez élevé - même en étant d'origine indienne, j'ai trouvé certains plats très piquants. Heureusement, le lassi venait parfaitement équilibrer cette intensité.
Un endroit que je recommande sans hésiter pour les amateurs de vraie cuisine indienne, avec une mention spéciale pour leurs biryanis, qui sont tout simplement excellents.

Visited many times & i love it! Im not a big fan of spicy food but it's worth the pain😆 loved it & the prices are great! 20$ for a combo, drink included
Bawarchi special Biryani & Hyderabadi mutton Biryani were really good.
The service was average. We constantly had to flag down staff for basic things, & our server never came by to check on us. That said, I don't blame her-it was an extremely busy Friday night, & it looked like the whole team was overwhelmed.
Nous avons passé une excellente expérience ici. En plus de la qualité des plats, nous avons particulièrement apprécié le service attentionné de Shakshi, Aarti & Disha. Leur gentillesse & leur professionnalisme ont rendu notre repas encore plus agréable.

One of the best indian restaurants in the city. It feels like a mix of authentic & Canadian vibes. They have too many varieties of Biryanis & too many other options. Just be-careful, the food is realy spicy.
