Étoile Des Indes - Star of India

Starfield

5.0

We returned to our old, NDG haunts this eve, & decided, on a friend's suggestion to go Star of India rather than the regular Ganges (now very much in the rear view mirror). Star of India was top to bottom perfect. We went with Lamb Korma, Eggplant Baji & without a second thought, the Butter Chicken, fearlessly adding creamy to creamy. With some nice chopped mango chutney, hot sauce (which is very hot) to preference. It was served deftly by our fab waiter & jaw droppingly great. The very next time we we are deegeward, we shall return without fail. Namaste

I wanted to write a new review 😇
The food is heaven like. I call them, order Combo #1 & I go pick it up in half an hour.
This dish comes with so much sides & compliments. It's good for more than 2 people. We are always happy with the great taste, good customer service & hospitality.
I was so satisfied that I wanted to call back to thank the chef 🫢

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!

I ordered the beef vindaloo with rice & a naan. The vindaloo was fiery hot & delicious! If you enjoy spice, this is an authentic version of the dish & will not leave you wanting for heat. The portion size of everything ordered was generous & the prices very fair. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, & charming. The staff were attentive & friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for Indian cuisine in NDG!

We ordered 2 beef dishes so the manager/owner came to sell us a lamb dish instead of taking 2 beef. Then, like most Indian restos in MTL he gave us beef instead of lamb!!! Lmaooo idk if they think we're stoopid or they rly don't know what's going on in their kitchen but it's wild to go out of your way to run a scam like that. The rest of the food was good if you don't like Indian food. I guess because of the culture of their customers they stop putting spice in their food. I don't see the point of eating Indian food if it's just tomato sauce on meat or veg. Pretty bad.

Beware of ordering for delivery - they don't follow web menu prices - charged me $6.00 more this time & $5.00 more last time! Then also « forget » one item from the posted meal each time!

Souper le jeudi 20260122 à 17h. Nappes blanche sur les tables. Atmosphère intimiste selon moi trop sombre. Musique de fond indienne relaxante . Nous avons pris la'Combo BB' pour 2 à $52.95 en spécifiant, trop prudemment en rétrospective,'non épicé'. Les samosas en entrée étaient brûlants à l'intérieur & à peine tiède à l'extérieur. Les appétissants kebabs étaient très (?trop) tendres. La quantité de délicieuses sauces fournie invita à en demander davantage. Les plats de crevettes, agneau & champignons de la combo allaient bien avec le riz basmati parfaitement cuit, les papadum & naan sortant du four. Le dessert gulab jamun délicieux nous fut servi, ô surprise, très froid. Service exquis & efficace. La désaltérante chopine de bière blonde en fût'Star of India' était à $8. Il resta assez de nourriture pour remplir 2 plats d'aluminium à rapporter chez soi (2-3 repas de plus à la maison). Achalandage: 9 clients s'attablèrent entre 17 & 19h; & de nombreux livreurs take-out traversèrent la salle à manger pour cueillir commandes à l'arrière (va-&-vient/courant d'air). Stationnement parcomètre sur Sherbrooke Ouest.
La direction gagnerait certainement à offrir des cartes d'affaire & menus de livraison à domicile dans le portique. Réservation recommandée.

Honestly I'm sorry but worst Indian I've ever had, I got a combo on Uber Eats & every single item was so bland & not good. Butter chicken was very pale & creamy no fragrance coming from that or the lamb curry. Samosa was also very bland & not good at all. Naan very thick & no ghee butter or anything.

The food was great but most of all, incredible service. The staff is so accommodating, & they gave us a surprise dessert for my birthday!! We also chose not to listen to them when warned us about ordering the spiciest choice on the menu. We were suffering from the spice & they took it back to the kitchen to make it milder. I will 100% come back!!

Awful butter chicken. The worst butter chicken we've ever ordered - a thick, neon?orange sauce, not even edible. We threw it all away.

Some dishes are easy too sweet. I believe they add dried fruits to them

A definite go to Indian restaurant in Montreal! I've been going here for 20+ years. Great employees as well!
My favs are chicken tikka masala, chicken madras, okra… Consider dinning in too. Great atmosphere & comfy. Prices are very reasonable

Avoid. This is one of the worst restaurants serving bland & watered down food. Not authentic whatsoever. Go to Bombay Mahal down the street.

The service was amazing. However that was the worst indian food I have ever eaten in my life. I was there with my friend & she ordered butter chicken, the most basic dish ever it tasted sweet & like expired cheese at the same time. It was pricey as well two dishes were 60$. Avoid this place at all costs.

We usually order Indian food from this place. Last night we went there, as we had no power at home. This was our third time dining there, the first time was 3 or 4 years ago, & the experience is still the same. Great food, prompt & very courteous service & nice atmosphere. I can only wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Indian cuisine. We will definitely go back.
