About us

The spice road in Old Montreal

Step into Restaurant Gandhi and the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal give way to the fragrant spices and the aromatic flavours of the Asian subcontinent. Traditional Indian music plays as you dine, providing a gentle serenade to accompany your meal.

Unlike most indian restaurants, you will feel like you're dining al fresco: soft light, bistro-style tables with crisp white lines, and the yellow walls with their window-like cubby holes recall a sunset over the Ganges half a world away. Gandhi engages all five senses to create a memorable dining experience. For those who prefer a take out, our team will be please to prepare your meal with the same touch of love!

Some of the best Indian food ive tasted! Service on the slow side but maybe it is because they are busy taking their time at preparing the dishes to taste so good!

We had a great time at Ghandi! All the staff were very attentive & kind. They were also very helpful when it came to choosing delicious dishes off the menu. I wish I had room to order dessert! Next time I come back to Montreal I will definitely dine here again, the atmosphere & cobble stone streets outside is beautiful! Thank you for having us.

It is hard to say that this might be the best Indian restaurant in Montreal. The menu is comprised of dishes from all over India. Must tries are the Lamb Tikka Rejalla, Tandoori Chicken & their fantastic vegetable dishes. The service is also great & the staff are available to answer questions & suggest dishes. Highly recommended!

Our waiter Raoul was gracious & professional.

Food was subtle & tasty with many flavors. Spiced my dishes with side spice paste for heat.

A fine spot in Old Montreal
Thanks

We've always thought that Gandhi was one of the most charming Indian eateries in town, what with its location on historic Saint-Paul Street & its intimate setting.

The menu is made up of a host of staple Indian dishes from all over the sub-continent, although mostly from the Eastern & Northern regions. It has a great table d'hôte from $25.50 to $32.50, a great value if you ask us.

When we think of Indian food, we envision pungent spices & fiery heat. Food-wise, our experience tonight failed to take us on the adventure we were hoping for. Most of the dishes were bland with poor presentation. However, Gandhi's charming setting & unblemished service makes it a worthwhile destination for Old Montreal residents or passers-by (it is the only Indian eatery in the area after all).
