My go to Indian, hole in the wall. It used to be owned by the main restaurant on Jean Talon, but it's been sold off…but the food recipes remained pretty much the same. Atmosphere is to be desired so take out is the best option if you live in the area. The service at counter is comparable. Manage your expectations for the price point & atmosphere. However, they have always been efficient & never rude or disrespectful. Just efficient & consistent which is pretty good. Butter chicken is the best option. But almost everything is good. Portion size has somewhat gone down over the years but it's still a lot of food for a thali. Bonus small samosa is a plus. So if you want to no fuss affordable Indian place, this is a solid option.

My go-to spot for fast, affordable, & satisfying meals! I always order the veggie thali, & it never disappoints. The combination of spinach & korma-style curry is my favorite every time. Always flavorful & filling!

It used to be good. I ordered a thali & it was watery & flavourless. The naan was hard & mushy. I was extremely disappointed. I have been a customer for 20 years but I am never going back. The service was horrible as the person at the counter half pretended I wasn't there & put the food in the plastic container despite me eating in the restaurant & there being a tower of trays to eat in. She even put a plastic lid on the container. Everything about my experience was horrible.

Excellent platter of butter chicken, saag paneer, aloo gobi & samosa. The naan was so flavourful! Fast & friendly service. My colleague enjoyed her platter which consisted of lamb & , chicken curries & chick pea curry. The amount of chili in the dishes was just as she liked!
