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 recently dined at Bismillah Halal Restaurant. The quality was grea while quantity was sufficient. The service is excellent. The food is reasonably priced.
We're regular customers at Bismillah's & are never disappointed. The new décor at the restaurant is beautifully done, adding a fresh touch to an already great spot. The food is always spot on-our absolute favourites are the Beef Ginger Karahi, Chargha, & Beef Seekh Kababs. Their naans are to die for-always fresh & perfectly soft. Service is consistently excellent. This time we were greeted by Moiz, who was extremely courteous & efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, another superb visit. Highly recommended!
👍🏽 Menu: simple, not too items
👍🏽 Cuisine: Pakistani cuisine, perfect & right blend of spice, not too much masala
👍🏽 After taste: I ate a lot, forced myself to finish the plate to not waste food. However, I didn't feel bloated or heavy which is common in Indian restaurants.
👍🏽 Price: fairly priced
👍🏽 Service: Staff is courteous
👍🏽 Halal: I felt this restaurant holds good status of Halal Restaurant. Most places these days identify as halal restaurantl because meat is Halal sourced. Quality of food, place, environment are equally important to identify a restaurant as Halal restaurant.
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.
