Thank you for your understanding and your loyalty.
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!
Gandhi offers a warm, inviting Indian dining experience with aromatic, well-balanced dishes that showcase generous portions of tandoori specialties, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and biryani. The naan, especially garlic naan, is often praised as outstanding, with papadam and chutneys as a memorable start. The service is consistently attentive and friendly, with staff going the extra mile to ensure guests feel at home. The ambiance ranges from a calm, refined Old Montreal setting to a cozy, bustling vibe, with tasteful decor and comfortable linens. The vegetarian options are plentiful and delicious, and halal choices are noted. Some comments mention value for money and occasional longer waits during peak hours, but the overall sentiment highlights bold flavors, authenticity, and care in presentation. Frequent visitors describe Gandhi as a reliable favorite for family meals, celebrations, and casual dinners alike, with butter chicken and richly spiced curries inviting repeat visits.
Les plats sont très savoureux !! Je recommande fortement l'agneau tikka & le boeuf au cari. Le repas commence avec un papadam avec 3 sauces excellentes. Le poulet au beurre goûtait beaucoup la crème 35% ce qui donnait un goût très sucré donc je recommande moins ce plat.
Le restaurant ne sert pas d'alcool donc même s'il est écrit espresso martini c'est vraiment juste un cappucino glacé. Je vous suggère le Indian Lemon Sangria qui est le plus élaboré des mocktails de la carte. Il y a des vins & des bières à 0%.
Les employés sont très chaleureux & sont présents si vous avez une requête sans être toujours à votre table. On est vraiment aux petits soins. Le prix peut être élevé pour certaines personnes mais gardez en tête que le restaurant est situé dans le Vieux Port & donc ça coûte plus cher de loyer. C'est une réalité pour tous les restaurants de la rue donc il faut arrêter de se plaindre sur les prix si l'on fait le choix conscient de manger dans ce secteur.
Waited 1 hour for our food, had to ask twice for water, then they charged it 7$ on the final bill. The service is bad, & the prices are also very high for what you get. I don't recommend at all!
Aromatic, well seasoned & fresh ingredient. Highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer & Baingan Bharta. Attentive service & well situated in historic Montreal. Note: no alcohol.
Excellente expérience aujourd'hui le 22 décembre 2025 ! La nourriture était délicieuse & le service rapide. Le serveur était très gentil. Je recommande !
All the servers were so kind & helpful, they were very attentive to our needs. Our server Rafiqula was very kind to us as well. The service was also very quick, I appreciated how our water would be filled up by the servers quite often too. I would recommend the butter chicken with the regular naan as it was my favourite!
Definitely recommend. Very great food. Many vegan options, but also knock great meats out of the park. From start to finish the servers make sure you're taken care of.
Visiting from the USA & wanted to try different foods in Canada. By far, this Indian Restaurant was the best. Atmosphere was welcoming. My family ordered Naan, Agneu Tikka, Buttered Chicken, Agneu Korahi & Shrimp Malai. Food was excellent!! Flavors were there & loved every bite. Sauces for each dish were excellent. I would definitely come back if we visit again. Highly recommended!
