Overall, Le 409 is often described as a dependable, high quality dining experience with consistent food, great service, and a welcoming vibe.
I have been to this location multiple times & I have enjoyed it every single time. They offer great selection of Indian fusion cuisine with friendly service. They also offer good variety of cocktails. They offer Raita, onions with tomato sauce served with cumin papadum as a welcome. We ordered Chana Samosa & Bhajee d'Oignons for appetizers & Butter Chicken, Lamb Korma, Chicken Korma, Butter Chicken, Lamb Biryani for entrée. I enjoyed every bite of our food & my favorite was Lamb Korma; it has a sweet taste that I don't normally go for, but was very delicious.
Overall I had a great time. Staff with nice, & food generous & comforting. Signature cocktails are really enjoyable, well balanced. They could use a finer choice of glass. Tikka chicken was flavorful, but a bit dry. I'm sure it depends on the meat, maybe a brine could help. Thanks for having me, I'll be sure to come back & try other entrees.
Un repas que je n’oublierais pas de sitôt !
Très bonne ambiance, restaurant pleins mais pourtant très intimiste, la musique était bonne & le service plus que bon & courtois, tous étaient très gentils & nous on servis de la meilleure des manières.
Concernant la nourriture, c’était une explosion de saveurs, des cocktails aux plats, un menu avec plusieurs choix, nous avions pris plusieurs plats différents à partager & tous étaient plus bons les uns que les autres!
Je recommande chaudement & vivement !
I have mixed feelings about this place. The place was full & it felt good to see so many people enjoying Indian food in Montreal. However the food was no where close to Indian, everything was overly sweet (& this is after me asking for the highest level of spice possible) so as an Indian the food felt weird.
At one point I did enjoy the butter chicken poutine as a French-Indian dish & it worked in my head for a bit. What I loved were the cocktails. Really nice ambience too.
Our first time dining here & it was great ! Great cocktails . Food was fab . Atmosphere & service was great . Our entire meal was great . The eggplant dish was the best we've ever had !
Great vibe, great service! Simple menu, with delicious proper Indian food. Serving size was perfect & food was amazing. Nice for a cocktail, or two, as well!
See you next time!
Exceptional experience from the greeting to the ambiance to the professional service from the staff. Oh, & the food was awesome as well! The Chicken 65 appetizer is a must try, even if you just stop by for a cocktail or beer. Shrimp korma, lamb madras

Nous avons apprécié le service, la qualité de la nourriture, l'aménagement du bar-restaurant, les cocktails, l'atmosphère décontracté & chaleureuse. Merci !
Un des meilleurs restos indiens de Montréal (& même Toronto...!?) si ce n'est LE meilleur. Belle découverte. Bonne carte des vins. Cocktails ++. Déco charmante. Ambiance agréable! À refaire❣️
Le staff est accueillant & très accommodant. L'ambiance est chaleureuse. On apprécie les cocktails qui paraissent bien & goûtent bon, & on aime la sélection de bière, non exhaustive mais efficace!
Excellente soirée au 409. Les assiettes sont goûteuses & copieuses. Les cocktails sont délicieux. & pour couronner le tout, un service impeccable. J'y retourne sans hésitation.
