Loved their dosa's . Best dosa's I have tried in Montreal so far. Their Kara masala dosa & paneer garlic dosa are amazing. Their coconut chutney & sambar is to die for. Tried their medi wads with sambar it was amazing.
The atmosphere of the red walls, the classical south Asian music & the servers bringing in our food, it was the pinnacle of Indian dinning. Me & my friends went & we all had a great time with the big selection. I especially loved the butter chicken & chicken 65. The bathroom was clean & it was like a nook, well lit & heated while we enjoyed our very tender & delicious food. Will come again 🌟

Such a great restaurant!! Had the boneless lamb biryani today & I was amazed!! The lamb was perfectly cooked & the rice was so flavourful. We also had the garlic naan & that was so so delicious. The waiter was really nice, she made recommendations & helped us with everything. 10/10 experiences, would come here again
Ordered boneless chicken biryani , what we got was just some veg pulav rice & a few flavourless boiled chicken pieces here & there. Super disappointed , veggies & tomatoes were seen more than the chicken. If something is missing on the menu it will be great if you can suggest a different dish on the menu rather than just slap a random dish on customers face.

My wife & I used to be regulars here - often once every week. Our last visit has changed that. The lamb Chukka was simply chunks of barely seasoned lamb & fat, swimming in grease. The butter chicken was very spicy - even after we asked for it to be mild. The server could care less & didn't seem to care that I had been served a plate of grease.
Too bad, this used to be a great little restaurant. Must be new ownership.
The food was awesome. For south indian lovers this is a paradise. We are from Toronto & we're visiting montreal & this can definitely be compared the OG Gurulakshmi

Le poulet au beurre était bon, mais la sauce était très liquide. Elle me semblait donc diluée & moins goûteuse.
Pour le service, la personne ne parlait pas du tout français. Il est impossible de se faire servir en français. Pour nous c'est un point très négatif comme nous sommes au Québec.
L'endroit n'est pas très propre.
Okay the food was absolutely amazing. The chai was perfect. Must visit if you are visiting Montréal & looking for perfect lunch. Much more thanks to Bhakti. Such a sweetheart.
Overall nice spot with great Butter Chicken. Incredible Value & good portions, we even consider sharing only one portion of rice & naan the next time.
Looking forward to visiting again soon!!
Great little Indian restaurant in CDN neighborhood, the waitress was very welcoming & even chatted with us to introduce us to Indian food as we've never tried before from an authentic Indian place. Great recommendations & the food was tasty. Portions are huge, enough to feed 2 people, & the prices are more than fair. If you're looking to spice it up & make it a bit more exotic, this is the spot.
