Nous avons mangé au restaurant India Rosa , & que dire… c'était magnifique !
Une ambiance incroyable, un décor superbe, & un personnel généreux, attentionné & vraiment impliqué dans l'accueil de ses clients. Ils prennent le temps de vous guider dans votre commande si vous hésitez, ce qui est vraiment apprécié.
C'était ma première expérience avec la cuisine indienne… & wow ! C'était tout simplement délicieux. Rien à redire. Chaque bouchée nous transporte avec ses saveurs uniques & ses arômes incroyables.
Merci pour cette belle expérience ce ne sera clairement pas la dernière !
Stopped by India Rosa on a regular day when we just felt like eating out somewhere different, & it honestly turned into one of those unexpectedly great meals.
The place has a really welcoming vibe when you walk in. Nothing too fancy or overwhelming-just a comfortable spot where you can sit down, relax, & actually enjoy your food & conversation.
The food was the real highlight. The **Sweet Waffles** were amazing-perfect texture & flavor, easily the thing I'd come back for. We also tried the **Paneer Tikka Sandwich**, & it was packed with flavor. It had that perfect savory kick without being too heavy.
For drinks we ordered an exotic drink & the **chai lemonade**, which had a really refreshing citrus taste with a subtle spice to it. It was something different from the usual drinks you see everywhere.
What I liked most was that the whole experience felt easy & comfortable. The decor looks great but still feels cozy, & it's the kind of place you could stop by for a casual lunch, brunch, or just a relaxed meal any day of the week.
Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving something flavorful & a little different from the usual.

J'ai été deux fois au India Rosa: une fois pour le brunch & une fois pour le souper, & pour les deux fois, tout était délicieux & parfait! Autant pour la nourriture exquise, bien assaisonnée & parfaitement épicée, que pour les cocktails, l'ambiance, le décor & le service… je recommande ce restaurant. Notre serveur Thibault a su me recommander le bon cocktail pour moi, qui n'était pas trop sucré: le Pisco Sour. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner!

We ditched the traditional anniversary plans for Indian-Fusion at India Rosa Griffintown, & it was 10/10. If you haven't tried their Sweet Waffles, you are seriously missing out-easily the star of the show! 🧇
What we ordered:
• Sweet Waffles (A total game changer)
• Paneer Tikka Sandwich (Savory perfection)
• Exotic Drink + Chai Lemonade for that zesty kick 🍋
The decor is just as stunning as the plates. Perfect for your next date night or girls' brunch!
Visited India Rosa in Griffintown recently. The ambiance is stunning & the vibe is very high-energy.
Food: I highly recommend the Paneer Stuffed Grilled Mushrooms. They were incredibly delicious & the chutney was perfectly'chutpatti' (tangy/spicy). The only downside was the portion-only 3 pieces for the price, which felt a bit small, though the quality was excellent.
A note on the decor: As an Indian, I had mixed feelings about the elephant painting at the entrance. While it's clearly meant to be modern &'boho,' seeing an elephant in traditional royal attire (reminiscent of Ganpati) holding a cocktail felt a bit jarring to me, especially at the entrance where we usually place sacred symbols. It's a beautiful piece of art, but it might feel a bit sensitive to those who grew up with traditional values.
I've attached a photo of the painting I mentioned-it's very well-painted, but the imagery was a bit unexpected for me.
Overall, a great spot for drinks & fusion flavors!
Excellente expérience chez India Rosa Griffintown! Dès notre arrivée, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & le décor vraiment réussi. La nourriture est savoureuse, bien présentée & pleine de saveurs - chaque plat était un vrai coup de coeur.
Le service est tout simplement exceptionnel. Toute l'équipe est attentionnée, professionnelle & souriante, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus agréable. Un merci tout particulier à Silvia, dont le service a été remarquable : attentive, dynamique & toujours avec le souci du détail. Elle a vraiment fait la différence & contribué à rendre notre soirée parfaite.
Une adresse à recommander sans hésitation. Nous reviendrons assurément!
Le lieu est beau & bien décoré. La cuisine est variée & très bonne. Les pains naans sont UN RÉGAL. Service très agréable.
Le seul « bémol » est que l'on devrait pouvoir trouver plus de vin ou bière sans alcool.

I loved the decor & layout of the place. The lentil soup was super good & the staff was incredibly friendly & welcoming. I will definitely be coming back
Food is good & nice decor. It's a bit odd to call the appetisers/starters'tapas' in an Indian restaurant & it's a shame there was a chicken breast option for the chicken dishes - it's all thigh which was disappointing.
Excellente cuisine indienne dans un décor moderne & raffiné. une mention particulière pour le bar & les plats en sauce (la viande est d'une tendreté rare & la sauce très légèrement relevée).
Nice restaurant. Food tastes great & the spices & ingredients are very fresh.
We had lamb curry, garlic breads , & the brunch club sandwich. The drink is called the exotic: it has cardamom , dragon fruit, lime & mango & is so refreshing . Would recommend all ! Price is not bad & the service is excellent. Location is nice & it's a beautifully decorated restaurant

The three of us really enjoyed our dinner at India Rosa-Griffintown. The food was excellent! I recommend the Salmon Tikka. We had a great table by the window & an excellent server. It's a beautiful restaurant decore-wise, & even on usually slow Monday night it was a busy, happening place. Nevertheless, the noise-level was reasonable. I highly recommend India Rosa - Griffintown.
India Rosa is an absolute gem when it comes to Indian fusion cuisine! From the moment you walk in, the warm & vibrant atmosphere sets the tone for a memorable dining experience. The decor is chic yet inviting-perfect for a date night or a casual dinner with friends.
The food is a perfect balance of traditional Indian flavors with a modern twist. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, & cooked to perfection. On top of that, the complimentary food service was a lovely touch-a rare gesture that made us feel truly welcomed & appreciated.
Whether you're a fan of Indian food or just looking to try something new, India Rosa delivers a five-star experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back!
We went on a Friday night. The ambiance & the decore of the restaurant is incredible nice. Server knows the menu which is amazing. The food & the cocktail is incredible. We will definitely be back

The best food we had our entire trip, the Lamb was perfectly cooked & the flavors were absolutely phenomenal. Super friendly wait staff, gorgeous decor, & Located on the best street to wander & shop as well.
J y suis allé pour le brunch. Bel ambiance & le décor est magnifique. Le service fut très bien compte tenu du fort achalandage. Je conseille le plat de gaufres sucrées aux épices chai. L assiette était joliment présentée, une vraie oeuvre d art! Le goût était sublime; frais, exotique, moelleux, juste assez sucré. Je recommande ce resto pour un brunch gourmand d inspiration indienne, différent du style 2 oeufs-saucisses-bacon-patates!!
Repas sympathique dans ce restaurant spécialisé dans la cuisine indienne.
Les biryanis ne sont pas incroyables, on y ressent uniquement le goût pimenté & on y perd les arômes des épices. Cependant l'agneau était fondant & très agréable à manger.
Restaurant plus beau en décoration que bon à l'intérieur de l'assiette.
