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.

Avoid if you can. The food is not good, the service is lousy & the prices are prohibitive. Besides, if you are Indian or South Asian be prepared to be ignored by the staff.
The food was uncooked, very very oily & very very spicy. The thali we ordered included a hot beverage that was not served. The only item that's good is their welcome papad
If you have no other options, you may consider this restaurant else don't go there.

We loved our meal & the ambience at this Indian restaurant we decided to have dinner at, in downtown Montreal! The restaurant filled up really fast, but because we arrived early, managed to get a table without a reservation. We had flown in from California & our son from England to be in Montreal, & this was a perfect place to enjoy a conversation. The wait staff was very attentive, the food & wine was excellent, & the decor & table settings were very appealing to the eye. I found the tandoori roti, the daal fry & the palak paneer to be delicious, & the chicken dishes (which I don't eat) were enjoyed by others - we found it hard to stop eating actually, so decided not to have dessert :) I'll be recommending this restaurant to all my friends too.

It looks like a traditional Old Montreal restaurant, with delicious Indian food. A great find in old Montreal. White table cloths & napkins, excellent service. So happy to have stumbled across this restaurant. If we lived in Montreal, we would be back every week! A great treat!
