Bhandari surveys the subcontinent from north to south with our menu of regional specialties. You can travel a portion of the spice route at Bhandari. We are a quintessential budget restaurant in multicultural Montreal, an area that’s increasingly worth a trip for its diverse ethnic eating scene.
Overall, reviews describe Bhandari Cuisine Indienne as a welcoming, casual spot delivering authentic North Indian flavors with a strong emphasis on butter chicken, garlic naan, and a wide range of vegetarian options; diners praise generous portions, warm attentive service, and affordable prices, with BYOB available and a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. The menu is noted for its comforting, home-style dishes like lamb korma, dal tadka, vada pav, samosas, parathas, and chana bhatura; many call the butter chicken the best they've had and highlight fresh naan and chai as standouts. Some critics note occasional inconsistency, with a few dishes described as bland, sweeter than preferred, or small portions for the price, and a few Indian Chinese items like hakka noodles or schezwan rice not hitting the same notes. Nevertheless, the overall sentiment is highly positive, positioning this restaurant as a reliable go-to for authentic Indian cuisine with friendly service and good value.
We stopped yearerday for a quick snack chai & samosa. & packed some veg chow mein noodles for lunch every thing was perfect even though they barely started their day & staff was polite & friendly extremely good experience. Samosa fillikg could be more spicy we found it a bit over loaded & mild ;)
First time eating here. Was amazing & delicious. The waitress was very nice & attentive. The food was perfectly cooked & taste delicious. I recommend you try it.
One of the best Indian restaurants in the Montreal area. The lamb & chicken were perfectly done. A lot of choices to select from, many I haven't heard of. Service was impecable.

Their butter chicken is incredibly good! & they have a wide variety of other amazing Indian dishes to try. I can't recommend them enough if you want good quality Indian food! Plus, I LOVE naan bread & they offer it WITH your meal, which is much better than most Indian places in the area.
Can't wait to come back soon!

Amazing service & the food was absolutely fantastic & well priced. Me & my friends got the Masala Dosa, & the daily specials & it was the best Indian food I've ever had
Tiny portions, the butter chicken was literally a soup with 8 small pieces of chicken. Other portions of our 108$ order were also extremely disappointing. I'd assume it was a lazy employee as we ordered take out 1h before close, given the great reviews. Still extremely disappointed as a first time customer & will NEVER go back. Dawat is half the price & 20x better.
