The food I got with the lunch special, the butter chicken combo was wonderful & at an amazing price: with tip & taxes, a soup, bread, entree, side, & dessert were 28 CAD.
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!

My boyfriend & I LOVE this restaurant. Food is delicious & authentic. We love coming both for the lunch & the dinner menus (next up, the all you can eat!). If you're hesitating, this is your sign to try it! As a note to the management, I've passed by the restaurant many times in previous years & never noticed it! Maybe changing up the sign out front or having a bit more a social media presence would have made me find it earlier :)
I have no words to describe how amazing the food was, but I will try anyway....
I have never eaten better Indian food in my life, although I am a big fan of Indian Cuisine.
The flavours, the freshness, the mixtures, the extras on the house, made my lunch at Devi's an unique experience.
A big thank you to the talented chef & to the people working in this restaurants, who know what customer service really is.
Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The decor, the atmosphere, the servers & most importantly, the food.
I went during the lunch hours but I asked for the a la carte menu because I like to see everything that is offered.
Anyways, I ordered the chicken tikka, the shredded okra, & their homemade samosas for starters accompanied with a mango yogurt drink. The chicken tikka for an appetizer was very pleasing. Tender & juicy & very flavourful - with the yogurt dip it was perfect! The samosas were also really good, though nothing too too special about them. The shredded okra dish was the server's recommendation (I think he was the manager or something from the way he acted - professional & polite). It was great. The okra isn't for everyone but vegetarians will sure like it. It has a mixture of tangy & spicy flavour with some onions & tomatoes mixed in.
For the main course I asked for the spiciest dish & he recommended the kudai (spelling?) chicken. I also ordered a super spicy chicken biryani. I was extremely pleased with the flavour in both dishes. Boy they were extremely spicy ... Like burning hot panting type spicy. Loved it!
I give this restaurant a 10/10.
I will be back to try their butter chicken & a spicy lamb dish.
