The service and atmosphere are repeatedly described as welcoming, attentive, and intimate, making guests feel at home and well looked after. Dishes like the thali, baingan bharta, and a variety of curries are praised for depth and balance, with many noting generous portions and reasonable prices. The vegan offerings, including lassi and desserts, are highlighted as standout and reliable, and many reviewers say they will definitely return. Overall Hindusthali is portrayed as a dependable, affordable, flavorful refuge for vegan and non vegan diners alike, with consistent quality and heartfelt hospitality.
Excellent vegan food from people who know what they are doing & have a love for it. Possibly one of the only vegan lassi I have found in Montreal & it was delicious, The portions are generous & it's a family run place, they know their clients & are excellent hosts.
Après avoir déménagé à Toronto pendant quelques années, le meilleur resto indien revient s'installer à Montréal! Nous sommes très chanceux d'avoir droit à une cuisine indienne qui marie traditionalisme, véganisme & une touche de gastronomie. Les plats sont subtils mais tellement savoureux! & le tout est à un prix tout de même abordable en ces temps plus difficiles.
Le tout préparé dans un établissement familial. Le service est courtois, amical & contrairement à de trop nombreux établissements, on sera heureux de s'adresser à vous en français!
Seule ombre au tableau: Je préférais grandement l'ancien emplacement sur St-Denis, plus tamisé & chaleureux, alors que la nouvelle salle, froide & moderne est plus appropriée pour un repas vite fais sur l'heure du midi au bureau. Cette nourriture mériterait un local à la hauteur du chef! Même les omnivores comme moi y trouvent leur compte.
Je suis tout de même absolument ravi de leur retour!
Je suis allée plusieurs fois & à chaque fois une bonne expérience, un accueil très chaleureux, & la nourriture (indienne version vegan) est délicieuse. & le service très gentil envers moi & mon bébé :)

After a long day of driving & a long flight from Calgary, stumbling on Restaurant Hindusthali was a gift from the divine. This family-run restaurant has a warm & welcoming vibe, the staff are charming & respectful & the food is superlative. I am definitely going back!
Petit dîner où mes amis m'ont fait découvrir ce petit resto. Le proprio est venu nous voir & s'est drôlement bien occupé de nous. Bonne bouffe épicée comme vous le souhaitez, très goûteux & appétissant!
Ça vaut la peine d'y retourner!
Good food. Good service. Good vibes.
Our favourites are the curry du moment (tofu tikka masala) & Baigan Bartha (one of our favourite eggplant dishes). Thali B is our go-to option.

best indian food I have ever had in Montreal, even the Mango Lassi is the best. All of the dishes were veggie so thats a plus. Service is also lovely & one thing I adored was the cups & jar like ancient times, I felt in an episode of Game Of Thrones.
"Hindusthali - A Taste of Home in Montreal" I recently visited Hindusthali & had their thali with naan-it felt just like home! The flavors were so authentic, it was as if my mother had cooked the meal herself. Every bite was filled with love & warmth, & the cuisine perfectly captured the essence of Indian home-cooking. The ambiance is welcoming, & the staff are kind & attentive. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply love good food, Hindusthali is a must-visit. It's more than a restaurant; it's a place where you feel connected to your roots. Highly recommended!
Amazing place, held by an extremely friendly & welcoming family. All food is vegan. I got a thali B, awesome to get an assortment of plates, the portions are just right. I strongly recommend!
Amazing food, service & atmosphere. The food was warm, homely, & delicious! The staff was so kind & the service was so quick. I got Thali B with korma & aloo matar, chai & pista kulfi. I appreciated everything here. The chai was how proper chai would be, the food was so filling & the pista kulfi tasted like a dream. & to add to all of this, the food is so reasonably priced! I'd wanted to try proper Indian vegan food at a restaurant (not having to thrive on one vegan dish like aubergine & not having to worry about cross-contamination) for such a long time & I am grateful for each morsel of food I had the privilege of eating here. This was my first time visiting an Indian vegan restaurant in my 7 years of being vegan & I feel sad that I don't live in Montreal to savor this deliciousness more often. Thank you for being awesome! This is the kind of place you'd want to bring all your loved ones along for a celebration. I will definitely be here the next time I visit Montreal!
