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.
3rd time going there ! Love the food & what can I say about the service ! Excellent definitely loved my experience ! Ps the portions may look small but we were two & couldn't even finished it ! We'll be back ✨
Excellent restaurant, nous y sommes allés à 4 avec mes amis pour célébrer notre graduation & la soirée était géniale. La nourriture était parfaite & m'a fait découvrir d'une superbe manière une cuisine que je ne connaissais pas. Je retiens particulièrement le poulet curry qui était formidable dans une quantité très généreuse. La vaisselle était aussi très belle & le personnel très agréable. Si vous y allez, vous y sortirez le ventre bien remplie & le sourire au lèvres. 10/10

Went here for the first time for a mother-daughter date & we had a wonderful time. Spacious & well decorated with music that's not too loud. The staff were super attentive,& professional yet friendly. I can't say I know much about Indian cuisine but the pasanda lamb recommended to us by the staff along with the garlic naan was absolutely delicious!!! (Also very adequately priced for a resto in the old port) Will definitely be back!
A great find on our first night in Montreal. Located on the gorgeous St Paul Street, the restaurant has a lovely feel, welcoming & friendly host & servers, & excellent food. We enjoyed a simple samosa entree followed by tandoori chicken & lamb korma. Great flavour, very decent portions - was more than enough for 2 pax. Highly recommend & having recently been in India, the food is authentic & reflective of Northern Indian cuisine. Thank you for having us!

Gandhi restaurant had such a cozy ambiance. With a prime location in Montreal's old port, I was really pleased with the food & the service. The restaurant owner Faruk was very welcoming & super entertaining. I'm definitely coming back here in the future!!
The service was excellent & the staff was very attentive . The food was delicious we ordered chicken masala, lamb Tikka, & the vegetarian cauliflower dish. 😋😋😋
I had the chicken bhuna cari & mixed vegetable bajee with Palau rice in a beautiful & I can't to go back. If you like authentic Indian in a high end restaurant with a nice view & lot of privacy, this is the place. Thank you chef Ali!

I had the chicken cari & it came with a basmati rice & I was shocked by how tasty it was. By far the best elegant Indian restaurant in Montreal. AMAZING!!!!
The restaurant speaks itself, as the ambience & the service being topnotch & highly professional. However, the food quality & the quantity; both need improvisation in terms of taste, richness of the flavours, & enough portions.
During our visit to Restaurant Gandhi, we sampled the Chicken Tikka, Veg Rogan, & Veg Biryani. The overall experience was a mixed bag. The Chicken Tikka had a nice smoky flavor & was well-cooked, but it lacked the vibrant seasoning typically expected from this dish. It felt a bit underwhelming in terms of spices. The Veg Rogan was flavorful with a rich, aromatic gravy. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, retaining a slight crunch which added to the texture. The portion size was generous & satisfying. The Veg Biryani was decent, with fragrant rice & a good mix of vegetables. While it was enjoyable, it could have used a bit more seasoning to bring out the full array of spices that a biryani is known for. Service was excellent, with attentive & friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was cozy & inviting, making it a pleasant place to dine. Overall, Restaurant Gandhi offers a reasonable dining experience.
