Owner was super nice; came up to our table to suggest items on the menu & he even went off script & prepared us a dish from the next seasonal rotation!

Had an amazing meal here tonight. So nice for the chef to come to each table & speak to the dishes & ask if we had questions. The food itself was sublime. The best chicken tiki masala we've ever had & the agneau nihari melted in your mouth. A small place so make a reservation! What a way to kick off the new year.

If we could give this place more than five stars, we would. Definitely try the Mardasi Bakra, Aloo chat & honestly, you should try something from every course to really get the full experience.
The service was super fast & friendly, & very attentive to taking our orders. The chef was also very welcoming & clearly passionate about his food, while even taking the time to talk to us about his story & Montreal as we were visiting.
The restaurant itself is intimate & quiet, perfect for a relaxing dinner. You can really enjoy & appreciate the food while not being rushed.
We would recommend anyone to try!

We discovered this place (without realizing it's a fine dining) by chance during our last trip to Montreal, & it turned out to be a hidden gem. The food was delicious - full of flavor, authentic yet modern, & perfectly balanced. What really made the experience special was the service. Chef & owner Simar was so welcoming, patient, & gave great recommendations. We'll definitely be back to try more!
