It was my first time trying indian food & everything we ordered was delicious & flavourful! Nothing was overly spicy so I think everyone can definitely enjoy most of the food here. We got very nice & friendly service. I hope to be back to try their other dishes.

10/10 for the naan

Haven't had food from here in a while. It was disappointing take out. Only 3 cubes of paneer in two orders. Butter chicken was very runny. Shrimp jalfriezi & Channa masala was good.

Amazing indian plates. One of the best in Montreal. Good price. Good portion. You can bring your own wine. Restaurant is not fancy at all so manage your expectations but if you really want to eat good food. This is the place

Last night 3 friends & I went to have dinner here. My friends have been going to this place for years & love it, I on the other hand only had Indian food once, 20 years ago & didn't enjoy it, however as of last night, I can now say that I love Indian food. We had the samosas, rice, butter chicken, lamb jalfraisi, chicken dhan saak, aloo gobi & naan bread...every dish was tasty & very flavourful, super yummy! My only complaint is that it was a little too spicy for me but I still managed to eat & enjoy everything. Service was just a little slow but ok. I will definitely go back :)

Que dire?

J'avais de grands doutes avant de m'y rendre. Il y a de ces moments où vous devez avouer humblement que votre intuition avait la tête dans le cul. C'est carrément la meilleure nourriture indienne que j'ai mangé.

Premièrement, la seule mauvaise note que je donne, c'est pour l'espace. L'endroit est plein à craquer le vendredi soir, mais vraiment PLEIN! Une fois assis, ne pensez pas vous relever avant la fin du repas. Si la place est si pleine, il y a une bonne raison: tout ce qu'on vous sert est excellent.

Nous étions un groupe d'une vingtaine de convives (il y avait plus d'un groupe de cette taille ce soir là). Le serveur nous dit que pour un groupe de cette taille, le restaurant offre la formule 25$ pour bouffe à volonté. Les serveurs arrivent avec des vagues de bouffe, une après l'autre, jusqu'à ce que votre estomac explose. Vous goutez à de nombreux plats, vous pouvez en redemander lorsque cela vous plait.

à ne pas manquer:
- les samosas dans un espèce de ragout aux légumes & pois chiches
- Oignons baji
- Saag paneer (fromage dans une puré d'épinard)
- LE POULET AU BEURRE: vraiment, le meilleur que j'ai mangé de toute ma vie.

En plus de tout ça, formule apportez votre vin.

J'y retourne c'est certain. je le recommande sans hésiter une seule seconde
