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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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!

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.
