For administrative reasons, Restaurant Gandhi will no longer serve wines and alcoholic beers. However, we are pleased to continue offering a selection of non-alcoholic wines and beers for your enjoyment.
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.
Superbe, belle expérience... Chez M. Faruk & son équipe,
Le plat poulet au beurre avec légumes mélangés + riz basmati + Pain Naan commandé était tellement délicieux.
J'ai même pris à emporter pour le savourer le lendemain chez moi.

One of the most over-priced & disappointing Indian restaurant I have been in a long time. The vegetable Biryani was just plain rice with peas, absolutely no aroma whatsoever!
The chicken Karahi was a catastrophy! They should visit Karahi Boys in Toronto to know what it should look & taste like.
Small portions, tasteless & flavorless food. The only good thing was that everything was at least hot.
& then was the Aloo Matar, it was acceptable at best.
Wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for authentic South Asian cuisine.
My visit to Gandhi Restaurant in Old Montreal was a delightful experience. The warm ambiance & rich aroma of Indian spices set the perfect tone for a comforting meal.
I ordered Shahi Paneer, which was absolutely delicious. The gravy was smooth, creamy, & perfectly balanced between sweetness & spice. The paneer was fresh & tender, soaking up the flavors beautifully. Accompanying it were Tandoori Naans, which were exceptional-soft, slightly crispy on the edges, & wonderfully chewy. They paired perfectly with the creamy paneer, making each bite a delight.
The service was excellent, with attentive & friendly staff ensuring a seamless dining experience. Despite the restaurant being busy, the food arrived fresh & hot, & I never felt rushed.
Overall, Gandhi Restaurant impressed me with its authentic flavors & warm hospitality. If you're looking for a truly satisfying Indian meal in Montreal, this place is a must-visit!
Excellent food & service. Higher prices than one is accustomed to paying for Indian food in Montreal but quality of ingredients is higher so food is refined & relatively light... Vegetarian dishes are delicious. Highly recommend the bhindi bhaji which is bright green & lightly cooked (not deep fried or oily). Shrimp dhansak was also very tasty.
Our first time here & it was absolutely amazing. From the moment you step inside the service is incredible! I asked for help to order as there were just too many amazing choices & the suggestion I received was great! We loved it!

We chose to dine here as it was close to the Montreal Museum of Archaeology & History & it was on the way back to the Hotel that we were staying at. Seeing an Indian restaurant tugged at our heartstrings & the menu beckoned us to walk in. The lone gentleman doing duty greeted us warmly & promptly served us a papad each with three chutneys, each of which were good. The rest of the food, however, didn't quite live up to the same standards. We ordered the following: 1. Agneau (Lamb) Korahi 2. Poulet (Chicken) Tikka Rejalla 3. Naan à l'Ail (Garlic) 4. Biryani au Poulet Although we were super-hungry having spent a good 3 hrs exploring the museum, we left the restaurant feeling not quite satisfied, either with the portion sizes, nor with the taste.
Nous avons réservé hier soir & la réservation a été confirmée, avec une option de réservation jusqu'à 22h00 & même 22h30. Après avoir appelé pour signaler un petit retard de 5 minutes à cause d'un show, la personne au téléphone nous a assuré que tout allait bien. Cependant, à notre arrivée, l'accueil a été glacé : pas de bonjour, juste une remarque froide sur le fait qu'ils allaient bientôt fermer. L'ambiance était franchement désagréable, ce qui nous a poussés à opter pour une commande à emporter. C'est regrettable car la réservation avait été acceptée de leur côté, & nous nous attendions à un accueil plus chaleureux. Nous comprenons que les horaires puissent être contraignants, mais cette expérience a été très décevante. Jamais auparavant nous n'avons été reçus de cette manière, surtout en ayant respecté toutes les conditions.
