We went in for dining. Had to wait at the entrance for seating as there was no one there to attend. Stayed there for 10 minutes then went around calling if anyone was there. Someone showed up after 10-15 minutes & then we got the table. The ambience was nice. Food was not that good what we expected, the portions were really small as compared to the prices they charged for them. Overall was good for one time only.
This was my very first time trying Indian food in Montreal, & I was honestly blown away. The restaurant is halal, tucked upstairs, & has a cozy vibe with dim lighting, perfect for a date night or just hanging out with friends.
We ordered the jumbo mixed grill, which came with salmon tikka, tandoori shrimp, kebabs, lamb, & chicken. Everything was full of flavor, but the lamb was especially tender & just melted in my mouth.
The chicken tikka masala was the star of the night. The sauce was rich, creamy, & perfectly seasoned , dipping the garlic bread into it was pure heaven.
I'm surprised this place isn't talked about more because the food & atmosphere are both amazing. Definitely a halal gem in Montreal that deserves way more hype. Highly recommend checking it out!
From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were greeted with genuine warmth & hospitality that immediately set the tone for a wonderful evening. The ambiance was inviting elegant yet cozy, filled with the aroma of rich Indian spices that hinted at the culinary delights to come.

I tried vegetarian food.. all dishes were absolutely delicious. Great service. Romantic ambience. I highly recommend this place.. give it a try, you will love it
Chez Devi offers a refined take on North Indian cuisine in the heart of downtown Montreal. This is not a buffet, but they do have an incredible all-you-can-eat weekday menu, which we had the chance to try. The experience is completely different from a traditional buffet-this is elevated dining, where each dish is freshly prepared & beautifully presented.
The butter chicken was rich & flavourful, with a depth of taste that truly stood out. The samosa was generously filled & perfectly crisp, while the masala had just the right amount of heat-spicy enough to add a kick but still approachable for all palates. The gulab jamun was a highlight, with the perfect balance of sweetness.
The ambiance is warm & elegant, making you feel transported to South Asia, & the service was exceptional. The staff frequently offered fresh bread & water, ensuring a top-tier dining experience. With its high-quality cuisine at an accessible price, Chez Devi is perfect for a business lunch, a night out with friends, or a romantic dinner. Definitely worth revisiting!

Simple, genuine, & full of flavor. This is the most authentic Indian cuisine you'll find in Montreal. The variety, portion sizes, & taste are spot on. The hospitality & ambiance create the perfect dining experience. I tried the daal makhani, paneer tikka masala, & roti, each dish tasted just like homemade comfort food. They also offer plenty of vegetarian options. Overall, a fantastic experience.
