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.
Super friendly staff & wonderful food. We came with three people who had never tried Indian Food- waiter was really helpful in directing us through an order that allowed us all to sample a variety of dishes. My only regret is I forgot to ask for the leftovers bag on my way out!
For me it's all about the flavor of the food & the blend of spices. My gold standard the Indian restaurants in London & Gandhi was on par with them. Food taste & service was great! Highly recommend Gandhi.
Food is really good. Our waiter was super nice but we ended up waiting more than 1 hour for our meal... & figuring out bills was a mess. We were told our drinks would be free to make up for the wait, but then we ended up having to pay for them because the owner didn't allow it... a couple of awkward moments overall. It's shame because the food is great. Might give the place another shot, we'll see...

Excellente cuisine Indienne, service courtois & ambiance conviviale, Mohammed sait bien nous accueillir.
Merci, nous avons passé une excellente soirée & avons très bien mangé.
I highly recommend this elegant & tranquil environment to enjoy a perfect mix of the best that Indian cuisine has to offer. Very professional & courteous service. Wonderful cuisine & I will keep on bringing guests here from out of town to enjoy an evening of Indian culinary expertise.
Thank you, Restaurant Gandhi for this wonderful Indian experience in the center of Old Montreal.
Nous étions 3 & nous avons pris le poulet tandoori, le poulet Tikka & les crevettes Tandoori. Nous avons toutes adoré nos plats. C'était délicieux! Le service impeccable! Le personnel très gentil & très professionnel. Le patron est venu à notre table nous demander si tout était à notre goût, ce que nous avons beaucoup apprécié.
We had a great pre-theatre dinner meal at Gandhi. Food was delicious, service friendly & attentive. We ordered the fixed Taj Mahal menu which was excellent all the way through. They were aware that we had theatre tickets & needed to leave by a certain time & paced everything nicely. Definitely will be going back soon.

Pour moi selon mes attentes le resto se mérite une note parfaite. Les serveurs qui parlaient un bon français, étaient fort sympathiques. La nourriture de très bonne qualité & pour un instant on se seraient cru en voyage...Les menus pour deux copieux!
Excellent option for vegetarians-really great dishes that are normally made with heavy cream that were much lighter than usual but still had excellent flavor. Nice staff, reasonable prices & nice ambiance.
Nous avons bien mangé, tous le monde était satisfait, la nourriture était chaude & pas trop relevée, mais il était possible que ça soit plus épicé, juste à demandé au moment de passer la commande & on nous a bien servi aussi.
Comme d'habitude !! Service & nourriture impeccable !!!
Il est encore mon top 1 dans le vieux Montréal !! Un incontournable !! Déjà hâte à ma prochaine fois !!
Mention spéciale à Farouk, toujours très accueillant comme si tu étais un membre de sa famille 😘😘
