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!

Review Summary

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.

DISAPPOINTED. The quality of food was bad & so was the service. Could not cater to food allergies either.

They put coriander/cilantro on EVERYTHING! If you don't like that, make sure to say so. This place is elegant & the food is good. But I hate cilantro.

The food was very tasty & hot. However the naan bread was not hot enough & too crusty at bottom. It's nice when it is soft & buttery. But we will be back. Love that restaurant & its staff

Tout était parfait. Toutefois, il a fallu se lever & aller demander notre dessert qui était inclus dans le menu. C'était un brin gênant :) Sinon, nous allons y retourner c'est certain. C'était une très belle expérience gastronomique

Tout était parfait chez Gandhi sauf le pourboire recommandé sur le lecteur de cartes débit : le pourboire recommandé commençait à 18 pour cent. Non pas que le service n'était pas à la hauteur; il l'était, mais je considère être en droit de choisir le pourcentage. Le pourboire a été inventé pour un service exceptionnel.

While it wasn't a bad experience, it didn't stand out as anything special. The food was average, & it was a bit spicier than I prefer. Overall a decent but unremarkable dining experience.
