Recently visited Montreal from Brantford ontario. We decided to try Bismillah Restaurant for dinner. Honestly food was delicious & flavorful. We tried biryani, koyla karahi, haleem, seekh kebab & mash daal. Everything was so tasty & fresh.
I would highly recommend this place for authentic Pakistani food. Owner Farhan is very nice & welcoming. We will definitely visit again this place.
I was craving for a spicy Karachi style biryani & I found this gem. I had their chicken biryani. Was so good! I also tried their haleem, seekh kebab & chicken karahi. Very flavorful & authentic PAKISTANI taste. The staff are very kind & helpful. The restaurant is very clean along with great decor. Must try!
Authentic Pakistan Karachi Food. Best in Montreal so far . Highly recommend. prices are so reasonable. Taste will make you feel you are in Karachi. Biryani is full of Flavor & the Ginger Karahi is the best of all Karahis .Dhaaba style chai made a complete satisfaction in the end.
Very tasty food.
We were visiting montreal for a short while & decided to give Bismillah Halal restaurant a try. They were very welcoming. The food was delicious. The price was very reasonable. We ordered chapli kebab & biryani. Both were very good. I wanted biryani to be a little spicy, but while placing an order on the phone, I told them i am with little kids, which is why they kept spices mild (which I really appreciate). The chapli kebab had a good amount of meat, were juicy, & very tasty. The prices were cheaper than what we get in the GTA.
The owner also asked us to visit again before leaving & try their special karahi. We really wanted to but somehow didn't get the time to go there again. We're back in the GTA but we still talk about those chapli kababs & that we should've tried the karahi too..
Maybe next time.
We came all the way from Toronto & Bismillah Restaurant made the trip so worth it! Farhan, the owner, personally welcomed us & even offered us refreshing mango lassi on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. Abi, our server, gave us outstanding service-friendly, attentive, & always with a smile. & the food… absolutely incredible! The biryani was rich & flavorful, the chicken kebabs were juicy & perfectly seasoned, & the whole chicken cooked by Ali was tender, smoky, & full of flavor. You can truly taste the passion & care in every dish. This was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had-highly recommend!
We visited from Toronto to Montreal & came to Bismillah Restaurant. Our waiter, Abi, was so kind & welcoming, & after our dinner we had the pleasure of meeting the owner Farhan & the chef Ali - both amazing people who made us feel right at home.
We ordered the Biryani, Chicken Kabob, Whole Chicken, & Chicken Achari Karahi - & every single dish was absolutely delicious. The food was so good that my 6-year-old daughter, who normally never eats chicken kabob, ended up eating two pieces - we even had to order more!
The hospitality, service, & food quality were excellent. I highly recommend trying this place!
