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.
Really love the food here. I have ordered a butter chicken as I cannot take any spicy food. Bayal has a great service helping my family recommending & picking food on the menu. It would be great if they have a colder air conditioning lol.
I'm absolutely blown away by this restaurant! For its average price point, the sheer volume of quality food truly surpasses the competition. My butter chicken biryani bowl was incredibly flavorful, generously packed with chicken, & left me completely satisfied. Beyond the food, the ambiance also sets this place apart. It strikes a perfect balance, feeling sophisticated without sacrificing that cozy, inviting atmosphere. This is a truly great place!

Must try place for any sort of biryani 😍 Our server Payal was just amazing, she suggested some dishes & we ordered the same & it turned out to be soo good. Thank you Payal, Cheers to your outstanding service 😍
Butter chicken was great, tikka masala a bit spicy but we were warned haha! Great service from Payel, would recommend this place. Especially the samosas were perfect. The small portion of rice is more than enough :)
Our group of 20 people had a reservation for Saturday dinner & the staff arranged perfect seating for us. The service was prompt & accommodating & shout out to waitress Vinisha(sorry if I got the name wrong) for serving with patience!
The starters arrived hot & crispy & the biriyanis were perfectly fluffy & tasty!
One improvement would be to provide mirchi ka salan or any gravy side dish for biriyani!
