An absolute masterclass in flavor & service.
'We had an incredible experience here last night. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt sophisticated yet welcoming. Every dish was a work of art-the Chicken kharahi & chicken charga with garlic naan was particularly stunning & perfectly balanced. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, & the Masala tea pairings were spot on. This is easily one of the best meals I've had in a long time. As an long hual truck drivers we found this best food in town & when we left we had informed chef will order food again next day for lunch through skip the dishes.
As a truck driver who's always on the road, I can tell you, they served the best chicken karahi I ever had. The quantity & the quality of the food was top notch. The staff was amazing & provided exceptionally great service.
Such a great pakistani place! The owner Mr. Farhan was very welcoming. We had the chicken chapli kebab & the veal karahi with naan - it was so good! Great portions & perfectly seasoned. We are definitely coming back!
It was an exceptional experience dining here! The Chicken Koila Karahi was bursting with flavor, the naans were freshly baked & perfectly soft, & the fried rice & seekh kababs were cooked to perfection. Everything tasted fresh & authentic. Highly recommended!

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!

We were there for lunch as a family. We tried chicken fried rice, biriyani rice, beef korai achari & mango lassi. Everything was very tasty & served fresh. Portion size is also generous. They also gave us a nan bread. I must say that was one of the best nan breads I ever had in Montreal. It was fluffy, soft & perfectly cooked. Their service is also great. Definitely recommended if you are craving some tasty desi food.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bismillah Halal Restaurant - A Hidden Gem in Montreal!
We had an incredible lunch experience at Bismillah Halal Restaurant. The moment we sat down, we were welcomed with warm hospitality & top-notch customer service.
We started with their fresh naan, straight from the tandoor-soft, fluffy, & just the right amount of crispness. The chicken karahi was a standout dish-cooked fresh to order with bold, authentic spices & tender chicken. Absolutely packed with flavor!
We also tried the chapli kabob, which was clearly freshly made & perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the care put into each dish.
To wrap up our meal, we ordered their chaye, & wow, it was out of this world!
Highly recommend this spot if you're craving authentic Pakistani food in Montreal. Will definitely be coming back!

I came all the way from Brampton to try Bismillah Halal Restaurant-& it was 100% worth the trip! The Chargha Chicken was absolutely amazing-juicy, tender, & full of smoky flavor. The Beef Ginger Karahi was incredibly delicious, with just the right amount of spice & depth. Both are must-try dishes! The Garlic Naan was also a standout-soft, fresh, & perfectly seasoned. If you're a fan of authentic Pakistani food, this place is a hidden gem that's totally worth the drive!
