India Rosa Plateau is consistently praised for its stylish ambience, warm service, and inventive Indian fusion that shines in tapas, brunch, and main courses. Guests highlight crowd-pleasing dishes like butter chicken, lamb, chicken tikka masala, and seafood plates, with the tapas style for sharing and a standout garlic naan tradition. The brunch is celebrated for creative twists on classics such as chicken and waffles and Benedicts, while cocktails and mocktails receive admiration for originality and presentation. The atmosphere is described as chic yet welcoming, making it a reliable spot for date nights, family dinners, or gatherings with friends. While some reviews mention premium pricing, occasional slower pacing, or loud music, the consensus centers on flavorful, well-prepared dishes, generous portions, and attentive staff that invite return visits. Overall, India Rosa Plateau emerges as a go-to Montreal spot for a modern take on Indian flavors with a refined, convivial vibe.
We were a bit impressed by the interior decorations but once we were seated, we were right next to the windows & it was so cold. There was a draft of cold wind which was not pleasant but we had a nice view which balances it out. The service was pretty friendly & welcoming which was nice as well. I feel like the food was a bit expensive, especially for the small portions but they ended up being quite filling. It was around 31$ for the seafood plate & 28$ for the butter chicken. The taste itself was pretty pleasant. Out of the many Indian restaurants I tried, I really enjoyed the combinations of flavors they had, especially with their butter chicken. The addition of the sourness from the tomatoes was really great & made it pair so well with the Nan bread.
Fantastic food & only reason I gave 3 stars to the atmosphere is that listening to rock during an Indian meal isn't the greatest. Been there for dinner & the music was great.

My favorite indian restaurant in Montreal! I always go for the onion bhajis with the butter chicken plate & the garlic naan bread - the food is so flavourful & delicious! I adore their cocktails as well, they also have hands down the best grenadine as their shirley temple is simply the best one I've ever had in my life!
As always, the food was excellent. The only downside, which is why I'm writing this review, is that this is the second time I've visited in a group of five & we were seated at a table for four. Being an Indian restaurant, this usually involves many shared dishes, so table space is a significant factor.
That being said, I still highly recommend this delicious restaurant where the cocktails & dishes are consistently great!
India Rosa does some genuinely great food, especially for brunch. The Indian-inspired chicken & waffles is one of the best versions I've had: crispy, well-seasoned chicken paired with spiced waffles & sauces that are thoughtful & well-balanced. The Indian twist isn't a gimmick, it genuinely elevates the dish. I've been twice for brunch, & from a food perspective, it's been consistently strong.
Unfortunately, the service significantly drags the experience down. Both visits stretched well past an hour & a half despite the restaurant being far from full. Coffee ordered at the start of the meal arrived after the food was finished, & staff were often gathered near the bar while tables waited.
Montreal isn't exactly known for standout service, but this was notably below average, even by local standards.
Great food, frustrating execution. If the front-of-house matched the kitchen, this would easily be a four or five-star restaurant. As it stands, it's a three.
A must visit for Indian food! I got the $39 lunch menu- choice of salad/ soup, butter chicken, rice/ naan, dessert gulab jumun/ mango sorbet.
10/10 food
10/10 service - super super friendly host & server
Had brunch last Sunday & loved the food, new flavors, really a real Indian fusion for the typical mtl brunch. The gaufres & chicken was perfect. My only complaint was about the chai, expected a real chai…

What a fantastic place for a late brunch. We were a group of 3 friends with a 1:30pm reservation, more relaxed atmosphere, less frenzied. Excellent service from our server Thomas & company. We had the chicken & waffles (huge portion, crisp chicken cutlets with lime/cashew curry sauce?, savory waffles with spiced syrup), Tikka chicken club sandwich (juicy, tasty chicken), & a pancake stack with fruit & yogurt - all delicious. For drinks, we had chai latte, an Americano, & an excellent mango lassi. For dessert, we had a silky chai tiramisu & a fresh fruit cup. The vibe is easy, cool & chic. I will be back for sure. This is Indian fusion lifting brunch classics to a new level with subtle hints of Indian cuisine.
Wanting to shake up your brunch game? India Rosa is the place. Great brunch menu all with the Indian twist. We (2) chose two plates that we shared. We were not disappointed by either. Food was outstanding. We had the butter chicken Benedict & the lamb grilled cheese.
Absolutely amazing first experience. The food just tasted at a much higher level than any of the other indian restaurant we've eaten at. Waiter was excellent as well. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures but heres what we ordered: appetizers:
Dhari puri balls. 10/10
Fried onions 6/10
Shrimp 8/10 excellent coupled with the sauce but alone the sauce was a bit much.
Main : kiss me kishrini ( spelling might be off) 9/10
We also had the yogurt sauce with cucumbers 9/10
Strawberry mocktail : 7/10 ( very sweet)
Peach mocktail:10/10
Overall still a solid 8.7/10
Thank you for an excellent evening.
Fun place but not what you would expect for an Indian restaurant. Very noisy with loud pop music. Small tables (hard to fit an Indian meal). Food was good but pretty bland (tasted like a French version of Indian). Service was excellent !!

The food at Indian Rose was exceptionally great, but the service disappointed us. A middle?aged white woman serving us became unfriendly when we didn't leave a tip, making faces as we left. She also moved us from our preferred seat, which made the experience uncomfortable despite the delicious meal.

It was our first time visiting an Indian restaurant, & we absolutely loved it! Everything was perfect - the atmosphere, the decorations, the food, & especially the friendly & attentive service from our waitress. We really enjoyed the whole experience & will definitely come back again!
This spot is always a hit, the food is consistent the service is great. Some of the best Indian food you'll have. I've gone to both downtown & Mt Royal locations. The vibe downtown is much better for a larger group, I would come to MT Royal for a more intimate setting.
We had such a wonderful dining experience at Indian Rosa Montreal. This restaurant perfectly combines authentic Indian flavors with a modern, stylish atmosphere, making it one of the best places for Indian vegetarian food in Montreal.
The ambiance was warm, trendy, & inviting - great for a date night, family dinner, or group outing. The staff was attentive & knowledgeable, helping us choose the best vegetarian options from the menu.
We tried a selection of vegetarian appetizers, main dishes, refreshing drinks, & desserts. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, & well-balanced in spices. The curries were rich & aromatic, the naan was fresh & soft, & the drinks complemented the meal perfectly. The desserts were an excellent way to end the evening, with authentic Indian flavors presented in a modern style.

Indian Rosa clearly aims for a top-tier dining experience, & their amazing decor certainly sets the stage. However, our recent visit revealed significant shortcomings that suggest their ambition isn't matched by their execution or management.
Things started off on the wrong foot when our order of raita was mistakenly served as bhartha. While a simple error, it was a precursor to more significant issues with the food itself. Both the butter chicken & saag paneer were extremely sweet, & the overall masala flavor was noticeably off. We asked them to remake the dishes, hoping for improvement. Unfortunately, it seemed they simply added more degi Mirch instead of hari Mirch, resulting in a'meh' taste that did little to rectify the initial problems.
The service further deteriorated when it came time to get the bill. There was a big delay because another table was apparently having an issue paying. What was most frustrating was the lack of managerial support in resolving this. A manager should have stepped in to support their servers & ensure the rest of the diners weren't impacted. This incident highlighted a clear flaw in their management structure, which falls well short of what's needed for a restaurant striving for top-tier status.
While the ambiance is impressive, the missteps in the kitchen & the apparent managerial inefficiencies unfortunately overshadowed any positive aspects of our visit.
