Best Indian restaurant in Montreal. Prices are soooo cheap! Butter chicken is to die for. I go at least once a month even if I now live in Sherbrooke. They have a 10$ all you can eat buffet all week long during lunch. They offer a variety of dishes ( soups, samosas, vegetarian & non vegetarian curries, Dal, Channa, fresh naans & rice, etc.) Tried pretty much everything & everything was amazing. Staff is nice as well! I think its run by a family. The place isnt fancy at all, the front of the building isnt actually nice but its so worth it. & its clean. You gotta try it!
Update: It's been 7 years since my initial review & this restaurant is still one of my favourite! I brought all my friends & family & everyone loves it!
Nice Indian food, one of the best in Montreal if not the best, both in terms of taste & price. My only issue is that it was cold & din when I went there, i think they wanted to same on the hydro bill lol
i keep ordering from Didar because they are quite literally the best indian resto in montreal. The quality of their food is top notch & the service even better. Its been 15 years that i have been going here (before the name change) & the quality has never changed. I placed an uber eats order & even though i forgot to add free promotional item the staff was more then willing to add it to my order. Very classy, & appreciated!!!!!

We were traveling all the way from Brampton, & in the last 4 days we couldn't find this kind of taste anywhere in Montreal. This restaurant was truly impressive-delicious food, affordable prices, & outstanding cleanliness. Definitely deserving of a 5-star review! The paneer tikka was the highlight-perfectly seasoned, professionally prepared, & absolutely unbeatable in taste!'
The food is so good. The fish pakora was so tender, the papri chat so fresh & butter chicken so comforting. The service was also amazing, AJ was super attentive & really engaging. Bonus: if you play Clash Royal, talk to AJ, you'll find some things in common. Its definitely my favourite place to grab Indian food, I highly recommend.
Amazing could not recommend more! We are traveling from NYC & we're exhausted after a long day, we took the metro 30 min out to try this place. The food revitalized us & the staff had us laughing & felt like we were at a family table. Sweetest people & one of the best butter chicken, chicken biryani & channa samosa we have ever had (& we've tried a lot!). Again cannot emphasize enough, the staff are the SWEETEST!
