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!
Many reviews praise Gandhi for flavorful, well-balanced dishes and a welcoming atmosphere in the Old Port, with generous portions and a wide range of traditional Indian options including strong vegetarian choices and comforting classics like chicken tikka masala and naan. Attentive, friendly service and a calm, inviting ambience contribute to a warm dining experience, with staff noted for going the extra mile and the venue offering a neat, cloth napkin setting. The restaurant is described as a long-standing favorite for locals and visitors alike, known for authentic flavors, a refined yet cozy vibe, and good value for the quality in this historic area. Some feedback mentions price levels and occasional waits, but the overall impression remains highly positive and Gandhi is commonly recommended for families and groups seeking a memorable Indian meal in Montreal.
Impeccable service. Immaculate white table cloth setting. Best Indian food we have ever experienced. The chicken tikka masala & canard tikka were wonderful. You must try the lentil soup. Thank you for a perfect evening!

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre repas au Gandhi. L'accueil était super jovial, le service impeccable, & ce dans un français qui ferait l'envie de nombreux Québécois, un menu très complet, des choix de table d'hôte intéressants, une carte de vins bien étayée à prix plus que raisonnables...Bref, tout pour une soirée entre amis très réussie. Tous les convives ont été ravis. Nous y reviendrons! Bravo à toute l'équipe du Gandhi!
L'accueil & le service sont exceptionnels, attentifs, soignés, professionnels.
La nourriture est très bonne; il y aurait intérêt, cependant, à permettre le choix de plats plus épicés. Il y a comme une obsession dans la descrition du menu à écrire "peu piquant"...

The Gandhi is a wonderful restaurant that I & my family have enjoyed for many years. As usual, last night the food, service, & facilities were outstanding,
The restaurant catered to seven of us, & we couldn't have chosen a better place for our family celebration!
Hi, I & my family were not impressed with the taste of the food served. When the prices of the food is this high, the expectation would be to get a WOW factor. The only WOW factor was there with the decor, plating & service & that is why the 3 stars otherwise I would have given 2 star. We had ordered the tandoori platter, lamb biryani, lamb madras curry with an extra kulcha. The kulcha was very good. The tandoori platter was OK but again, I have had better in places less expensive than this. The Lamb madras curry was good but their idea of spicy means adding lot of red chilli powder. The worst was the lamb biryani which still had the rawness of the ginger garlic paste. We did not bring these up with the manager as we were tourists & hence did not feel the necessity. However I would not recommend this place for someone who wants authentic Indian food especially for the price.
Freshly prepared delicious food. Waitstaff was very impressive & came to our table immediately when called for. Beautiful atmosphere & presentation of the food. It exceeded our expectations. Best Indian food we've ever had (our only experience is within the US).
