The food here is amazing. It's great to talk to the server about your tastes - our group followed her advice & got a fantastic mixture of flavors & heat levels.

Food is awesome & the place is open late into the night if you're ever craving. Service could use some work but overall the food makes up for it in options & taste!
I love methi mutter malaiiii sooo soooo delicious!!!!! I never had this kind of methi mutter malai sabjiiii before♥?♥? i specially come from cornwall to eat this 😋😋😋
Visited this place tonight & was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful food & service. The staff recommended me some great options & even customized some of them specifically for us all of which turned out to beyond delicious!!! Definitely coming back to try the other dishes.
I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Khao Peeyo Saint Henri on February 27 around 10 PM.
To begin with, the restaurant was not clean. Our table still had food remains on it when we were seated, & there were visible food scraps on the floor as well. The overall environment looked unhygienic & poorly maintained.
Unfortunately, the food was equally disappointing. The samosas had a strange, stale oil smell. The chilli chicken appeared to have excessive red coloring added to it. The egg chicken biryani tasted more like a basic pulao, lacking proper flavor & authenticity - it was so bad that we could not even finish it. The kofta curry was overly salty & very unpleasant to eat.
What disturbed me the most was the hygiene practice of one of the servers. She was having dinner at a table nearby. When my order was ready, she went into the kitchen in between eating - with food still on her hands - picked up my order from the chef, wiped her hands with a tissue, & then served our food while still holding that same tissue. This happened around 10 PM on February 27, & can be verified on camera if needed. This level of hygiene is completely unacceptable.
Overall, it was a waste of money & a very unpleasant experience. I would never visit again. I request a refund as a gesture of apology for this experience.

Unfortunately, a very disappointing visit. The mistreatment I encountered today is unacceptable for a service establishment. The staff was dismissive & made me feel unwelcome. Definitely not coming back.
A very nice wonderful Indian restaurant near Place St Henri metro with great service 😇😇 We started with Mango lassi & Onion Bhajii & they were both beyond delicious ❤?❤? For the main meal I had the Lamb Biryani while my husband had Chicken Korma, Butter Naan, & Rice & each bite was a gourmet's delight! Our full compliments to the chefs for preparing such delicacies with so much care & love 🙏🙏 For dessert we had the Rasmalai & Gulab Jamun & it was heaven on earth ❤?❤? Cannot recommend this 11/10 restaurant enough for the extensive menu with great food & fantastic service 😇😇
Worst experience here, very loud music & songs on a Sunday evening dinner at 10pm, a band practicing music & not thinking about people eating in the dinner area. The staff said they cannot ask them the reduce sound. This was the worst experience ever & I started getting a big headache. The tandoori roti was burnt & we asked for replacement. Bad bad bad . Don't come here. ban this place.
