Khao Peeyo is described as offering delicious food, a pleasant atmosphere, and friendly, attentive service. Popular items include butter chicken, lamb karahi, paneer dishes and naan, with many comments on generous portions and consistent quality. The overall vibe is warm and family friendly, and several reviews note the restaurant has improved after a change of ownership while maintaining a strong value and promotion offers. A few critiques mention having to scan a QR code to view the menu and to pay at the counter, which felt odd when the space wasn't busy. Taken together, the restaurant is seen as a top Indian option in the area and a place to return to.
I came to have my lunch & my experience was so good really enjoy there & their receptionist Nikk he was also awesome he helped me a lot because I t was my first time in Indian restaurant will be coming back
Ordered: Chicken Curry, Egg Curry & plain rice. The chicken curry was one of the best I've had & price was reasonable. The Egg curry was priced similar to the chicken curry but only 2 eggs & no flavour, huge difference between the chicken & egg curry. The rice at 7$ for about a 1 1/2 cups makes no sense. The rice should be priced at 3$ for what they give. Might order again just for chicken curry but will make rice at home.
We walked into this restaurant even though the signboard/lights were off, thinking it was still open. The place was empty, but the girl seemed completely uninterested. We were shown to a table but never given menus, & the QR/menu scanner wasn't even working. Meanwhile, the girl went inside & were loudly talking & laughing while we sat there waiting with no attention at all. After waiting for some time, we quietly left & no one even noticed or cared. Very disappointing customer service & not a welcoming experience at all.
Amazing. We came during a birthday party & were immersed. Their tables were full but since we had called, they managed to accomodate us. Food was full of flavor & our waiter Nick was funny & enthusiastic.
This place is awful. You write no spicy & they send you the spiciest curry ever.
Will never order here again.
If you can't do an order properly. CANCEL IT.
Loved my experience at Khao Peeyo! The food is super flavorful & fresh, especially the butter chicken & naan. Great atmosphere & friendly staff - definitely one of the best spots for Indian food in Montreal. Highly recommend!
I tried the dosa & chaat papdi, & both were very disappointing. It felt like there was little effort put into preparing them. The chaat papdi didn't have proper curd or chutney, & the dosa was also not up to the mark. I wouldn't recommend this place
Food was good. I've been here before when it was still Tandoori King & now they've changed owners & the food is a lot better. We had the butter chicken & the lamb karahi with a couple of naans. Naans were not too thick which we liked.
Regarding service: We were the only ones in restaurant so it didn't make sense for us to have to scan a menu from a QR code, WATCH AN AD, & then see the menu. Like why… also the fact that we needed to go to the counter to pay when again, we were the only ones there.
The food was delicious & everything we ordered was well prepared. The service was friendly & attentive, & the overall atmosphere was very pleasant. Overall, a great experience & I would definitely come back again. Highly recommended! 😊
