Info & Location
Star of India has been in Montreal for more than three decades. At that time frame, barely a few individuals and connoisseurs appreciated Indian cuisine. Nowadays, Indian cuisine is thriving in Montreal, because of its pioneering by few individual cuisiners. One has to put “Star of India Restaurant” as one of the first runners, introducing Indian cuisine in Montreal’s Indian Restaurant Map.
Because of its “Cordon Bleu” of culinary expertise, it has become immensely popular among dignitaries, politicians, people from entertainment industries and sport personnel.
Our Menu offers a vast selection of traditional Indian dishes, with the accent on flavour. Whether you like your Indian mild, delicately spiced or hot, you will find exactly what you wish, because there is something for everybody at Star of India. If you are a Seafood lover, we can suggest several fish and shrimp dishes; while for a Vegetarian, there are various choices of dishes and soups, all made with fresh vegetables from the market daily.
Among the main courses, you will find a range of delicious Masalla, Tandoori, Curry and other special dishes to suit every taste - each a perfect blend of herbs and spices. Choose from the very mild dishes, like the Butter Chicken or the Tandoori or from spicy dishes, like Beef Vindaloo, prepared with very hot chilies and lemon juice. To accompany your main course, choose from the range of delicious Indian breads: Nan, Paratha or Chapati; and there is the also options of vegetable side and rice dishes to make your meal complete.
As dessert, we provide, as part of your meal, an authentic gulab jamoon – which is a rose flavoured 'dough nuts' served with its sauce.
At Star of India, there is also a bar where you can choose from wine and beer options, like Cheetah and Cobra. You can be assured that you'll find the right drink to accompany your meal - whatever the occasion.

Butter chicken is sweet & creamy with no heat. Perfect option for children & non-Indians. The palak paneer was okay but lacked flavour. Pappadams & a small bowl of delicious carrot salad are served before ordering. No Thalis on the menu.View more

I'm Indian so usually I avoid Indian restaurants because I make it better, but this spot came closest to the goodness I brew in my kitchen. The vibes were tight, the food just right, served with smiles even though I was not being the best customer. Great authentic Indian cuisine, ask for their mango achar, a pickled spicy mango delicacy served to pair in small amount, with each bite. They have the good stuff. This is a magnificent Indian restaurant, very proud to have witnessed it myself. They do it well, maybe even the best.View more

Extremely good & great staff. I am a client for well over 20 years. Tried a lot of Indian restaurants in the Montreal area & this one is fantastic. Also, over the years its always exactly the same taste close to perfection. The butter chicken is THE BEST around but it worth trying many other plates too. I no longer live close by but I do make a detour to go pick up myself (not with delivery app).View more

We went there at 9:30. They close at 10, they were so friendly didn't rush us at all. We tried a mix of different dishes for 2 people. Everything was sooooo delicious, but butter chicken was another level!!! I am regretting why I didn't discover this place earlier! We brought the rest of it home & ate it for the next day lunch. It was giving us the same satisfaction! I cannot wait to go there again & try other dishes! I'm informing all my Indian food lover friends about this Chef's magic!View more

Came here with a friend. I wasn't impressed much but in general the food was ok & service was not bad. A typical Indian menu nothing special. The place can be cozy for some or a bit small for others. Their prices are a bit high considering the quality of food served. Parking can be a bit difficult. I recommend ordering a takeout rather than dine in.View more

This was the most disappointing Indian food I have ever eaten!! Ordered an expensive Tandoori shrimp dish that was more spicy than I asked for, & basically that was all you could taste! No other flavour profiles! Actually threw it in the garage! Yuck, yuck & yuck again.

I rarely write reviews. This was singularly the worst Indian food I have eaten anywhere in Montreal. Can't believe people keep coming back. Lukewarm dishes as bland an uninspiring as can be. Time to get a new chef . I used to come here years ago & t was great then... fresh, spicy & authentic......Never again! The only relief was the ongoing comedy with the waiter.who at one point disappeared outside to pick a few fresh chillies off a plant on the patio we requested. Hilarious!

I didn't have the highest of expectations because I had my favorite Indian restaurant that closed & had all their tasty flavors swirling in my head but this restaurant was AMAZING! I ordered through UberEats & the food was everything I was craving & more. Beautifully seasoned, fresh, tasty, well cooked & nice portions. Worth it from every perspective! My favorite dishes which I guarantee I'll be reordering (very likely again tonight haha), Onion Bhaji, Butter Chicken & the Shrimp Malai is drool worthy! Lamb Dansk is also good but a bit spicier than I can take. Biryani vegetable rice & naan bread just made the whole meal complete!

A really good kitchen!
The nan breads are big & delightful & you can request them a little crisper if you like them that way.
I have never been disappointed here in 3 years of loyal attendance.
Excellent preparation of traditional Indian dishes.
I believe it to be the best standard in Montreal.

Probably amongst the few Indian restaurants with authentic cuisine. The beef Vindaloo, the butter chicken, the naan bread, were simply delicious. Service was excellent. As always, dessert was on the house. Will definitely return with our friends.

My local Indian resto, that I've been going to for years now. The best in the neighbourhood with reliably good food, don't use MSG or other food additives so no stomach issues! Super friendly & know all their regulars. Good quality/quantity/price for takeout & their lunch specials are an amazing deal! Having tried 2 other Indians nearby over the years, but Etoile des Inde is the only one we frequent now. Highly recommend for eat in or takeout.
