We were a group of 8 & ordered almost all the brunch menu since we wanted to try most of the plates. We all loved what we ate & will come back for sure. We felt very well attended by our waitress, Alice, who also recommended us an excellent new cocktail that was not on the drinks menu & turned out to be a great discovery.View more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting India Rosa in Griffintown for a delightful Father's Day brunch, & I cannot recommend it enough! The experience was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. We indulged in the Bene Butter Chicken, which was an absolute standout. The flavors were rich & perfectly balanced, making each bite a true delight. The presentation was as beautiful as the taste, showcasing the chef's attention to detail & creativity. Complementing our meal were the gorgeous drinks, which were both visually stunning & delicious. The mixologists at India Rosa certainly know how to craft a memorable cocktail that elevates the dining experience. The ambiance was perfect for the occasion - warm, inviting, & filled with a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive & friendly, ensuring that our Father's Day celebration was special & seamless. Overall, India Rosa in Griffintown provided an unforgettable brunch experience. From the exceptional food & drinks to the impeccable service & charming setting, it was a perfect spot to celebrate & enjoy quality time with family. We can't wait to return & explore more of their menu!View more

If you're looking for a trendy spot with good cocktails & overpriced, instagramable dishes, this is the place for you. If you're looking for good, Indian food, don't bother. This is a place where you go for the atmosphere, not for the food. Also note that the valet they offer is 30$!!View more

J'avais beaucoup entendu de bien & d'engouement pour ce restaurant & pour notre part ça été une déception, une cuisine bien trop épicé au point de ne sentir aucune saveur de nos plats, & ne pas pouvoir finir nos assiettes alors que les prix sont quand même pas donner. Par contre les cocktails, l ambiance & notre service été super. Je sais que nous sommes dans une cuisine indienne & que les épices sont une partie intégrante de ce genre de cuisine, mais pour avoir manger dans des restaurants indiens en France notamment je n'ai pas retrouver le plaisir de cette cuisine que j'aime tant ...View more

Une expérience incroyable, pour moi c'est de loin le Meilleur restaurant De cuisine indienne a Montréal ! ❣️Les plat sont gourmands, complet raffiné & bien présenté. Les cocktails sont incroyable, croyez moi un seul ne vous suffira pas ! ❣️le restaurant possède une ambiance moderne, chic & bien situé. Le service est rapide, sympathique & plein d'attentions. J'ai déjà scheduler ma prochaine réservation & je vous conseille d'en faire autant 😉View more

High class Indian food, top quality, service, balanced, great cocktail & wine list, was easier than expected to find a parking spot on an evening week day. Pretty steep pricing for indian food versus a Jean-Talon indian place for example, but the atmostphere, crowd & context is totally not the same...View more

Tasty & colorful elevated indian dishes ! The cocktails are really unique & the food has a lot of interesting spices without necessarily being too spicy. The waiters made sure that everything was to our liking & overall the service was great ! I recommend.View more

We were there between times for an early dinner (circa 4pm). Warm welcome & cocktails put us at our ease. We ordered a selection of dishes & shared. Flavours simply amazing. Wonderful experience.View more

Super découverte, nouvelle cuisine indienne, bien situé, super ambiance, super serveuses. Pas mal hors de prix (250$ pour deux, deux cocktails, 3 tapas, 2 plats principaux & deux desserts), faites attention aux prix des tapas, les crevettes en tapas coûtent le même prix qu'un plat principal ! Soyez initiés aux plats indiens, la majorité sont en sauce, les non initiés peuvent être déçus. Chaudement recommandé pour ceux qui veulent découvrir la cuisine indienne raffinée. À essayer de nouveau.View more

This was by far one of the best upscale Indian restaurants I've ever been to. The ambience is super classy & modern, it was Friday night so there was a Dj spinning, which added to the vibe. The service was wonderful. Despite being fully booked, they hostess & manager did some magic & got us a table 45 minutes before our reso. Thanks for doing that! The cocktails that our waitress recommended were spot on. She was able to match our taste preferences to the perfect cocktail for both of us. Now the food. Because in the past, restaurants who have pumped a lot of money into the ambience, sometimes can miss marks on the food. Not the case here. The appetizers were unique & very tasty. We ordered the Tandoori Mushrooms & Vegetables. The mains were also very tasty loved the Garlic Naan. The Malai Kofta was creamy & flavourful. Overall an incredible experience! If we lived in Montreal this would be our go to spot for a fun upscale Indian dinner date!View more

The food was great, as always. Unfortunately this time I was disappointed with the service. A bit slow to get our cocktails even though the place wasn t busy. & the team seemed very inexperienced (spilled water & tea while service, removed plates when we were still eating). I will still go back but I think service can be I mproved.View more

This is a beautiful dining spot in the heart of Griffintown. While the food is fairly average for Indian food, the cocktails & ambience more than make up for it. We ordered the tiki drinks (I prefer the guru over the sweeter & more tropical bhangra), which were both delicious (like mango juice) & highly instagrammable. We also ordered the beautiful pink Pisco Sour. For lunch we ordered the chicken biryani (decent) & lamb vindaloo (not very spicy).ocllView more
via LibroÀ notre grand malheur il n'y avait que 3 serveurs le 1er janvier. Malgré la bonne volonté de notre serveur nous sommes restés plus de 45 mins sans services & suivi suite à notre repas. Nous n'avons pas pris la peine de demander cafés & desserts ou deuxième cocktail vu l'attente.

La nourriture était excellente.
Le service d'Emanuelle fut très attentionné même si le restaurant était plein. Elle veillait sur notre groupe & s'assurait que nous étions bien servis. Les cocktails sont délicieux & le restaurant est superbe.
Merci India Rosa pour une expérience mémorable.

J’ai habité LONDRES UK pendant près de 15 ans & la cuisine indienne fait partie de la culture britannique. On y trouve les meilleurs restaurants indiens du monde. India Rosa Griffintown se compare aux meilleurs restaurants indiens londoniens. J’y retourne de façon régulière pour déguster leur poulet Korma ou d’autres spécialités. Selon moi, il s’agit de l’un des meilleurs restaurants de Montréal. De plus, le service & les cocktails sont absolument superbes, le rapport qualité /prix excellent & l’ambiance très moderne & chaleureuse. Très beau restaurant vraiment bien décoré ! Je suis très contente d’avoir découvert ce nouveau resto cette année car les restaurants indiens de Londres me manquaient énormément.View more

I came here on a date. Obviously the first thing I did was read the 1 star reviews. I'm not gonna lie I was worried after I read them & the owners responses to some them. But having worked in the restaurant business for almost 10 years I know the game & I know how some clients can be. I also want to mention that I am half South Asian so I am very familiar with the dishes & the flavors as I ate this food growing up & still eat it at home. That being said let me get started with the review.
I'll mention that I rounded up to a 5. My actual rating is a 4.7 which is still phenomenal.
The ambience was great. The layout & decor of the restaurant is very nice. The bar looks fantastic. The bathrooms are pretty cool as well with the giraffes on the wall. The music was a tad bit loud. But not enough that it hindered my night. But be prepared to speak loudly & confidently if you don't naturally. Tbh I prefer the music on the louder side as I don't want to hear the tables next to me which I couldn't.
The service was excellent. I had a reservation & I was on time. My table was ready & we were sat right away by the hostesses.
We had the pleasure of having Adam as our server. He was quick to serve us our water & explained the drink menu to my date which I appreciated as it was our first time. He gave us time to look over the menu & he came back to take our order for our drinks. My date tried one of their cocktails which she enjoyed. The drinks came fairly quick. Adam was also back to take our order fairly quick. Luckily for him he didn't have to explain the food to me. I knew what I wanted. Adam was a good sport & we cracked a couple jokes together. For appetizers we order the samosas which were great & the sauce that comes with is excellent. They are a bit small & 1 order gives you 3, which is an odd number to split. They came fairly quick as well. For the main course we had the butter chicken, chicken Tikka masala, & the Chana masala. I ordered 2 sides of rice which were well portioned. I also ordered 4 garlic naans. The food came in a reasonable time frame. butter chicken was fantastic one of my favorite dishes & this one is up there for sure. The sauce was spot on for the taste of butter chicken. The chicken Tikka masala was also great. South Asians can use a lot of spices & some times make food excessively spicy my family is guilty of that for sure. This chicken Tikka masala was spicy enough but not over bearing (to cater to them white folks no doubt). The chana masala was also very good same critique as the Tikka masala spicy but not over bearing. The only thing for me that I thought could be a bit better was the garlic Naan. For me personally I like my Naan a bit more crisp. The Naan I had was more on the softer side. The taste was great but just a personal preference for me I guess, but imo the Naan should be a bit more crisp. During my meal I wanted to order more samosas. Adam was frequently in his section so it was easy for me to get his attention & tell him to bring another order of samosas. Which, again, came fairly quick. My date is not a big eater so I did have to take things to go. Adam was very quick to pack up my leftovers. We also ordered gulab jamuns for desserts which arrived perfectly. They were warm & w/ just the right amount of syrup. Adam knows the game so he brought me the check without me having to ask him. As soon as he saw my card sticking out of the check presenter Adam promptly got the interac machine. I hope he enjoyed his tip because I enjoyed his service so thanks again Adam!
Overall this is a great place to check out. We had a great time. Don't get scared by the unfair reviews. I have come to the conclusion that those clients were probably not the best & are most likely frequent complainers. You really can't please some people & some people should probably just stay at home tbh. It is a bit on the pricey side but you should know this going in. I would say it is worth to check out. Had a great night thanks again!
