This restaurant blew me away. Not only the food is superb, the ambience is fantastic, servers are great, the prices are more reasonable than any average Indian restaurant in US. We were here twice during our short stay in Montreal & it was almost like another landmark visit. We had chicken & salmon tikka, chicken 65, Rogan josh, curry, korma & naans, all of it authentic & delicious. Menu was in French but doesn't matter since everything is worth tasting. I dare Boston to come up with a place like this For me this will be a go to place whenever I visit Montreal.
We came for a dinner takeout on Thursday, June 27th around 9pm. We were a party of 3 + an already fussy (sleepy) 10 month old baby on a stroller. There was no way it was appropriate for us to dine in, so we came in just to inquire whether we can take out. Inside, the restaurant was about 1/3 full & there were only 2 servers & no hosts, so they were busy & hustling - we fully understand if they would prioritize the seated customers over us. But as soon as we came in, one of the servers quickly intercepted us at the door & gave us his full attention. We told him we're only going to do a takeout, if they can't take our order it's ok. The server said, "Of course, no problem! It's all ok!", & sat us at the table while he offer us the menu for our takeout order. We told him our menu choices, & he told us "Got it, give us 4 minutes." & the food really did come out in 4 mins. We got 2 naans, 1 samosa dip, 1 chicken biryani, 1 butter chicken - all packaged properly & all tasted delicious even after we took it back to the hotel. Props to the service team. We will come back from the great service alone. Props to the kitchen team for the tasty & prompt execution. We feel like the staff over at Le 409 cares & we appreciate you.

Un endroit vraiment sympathique! Une belle décoration, un service agréable & une cuisine de qualité! Le poulet Korma est délicieux & généreux tout comme le naan ! On en a pour son prix Petit bémol sur la portion de riz un peu petite pour le prix & le reste des plats J'y reviendrai c'est su
Great ambience. Waited awhile for our drinks. Traditional dishes that were too sweet. It was a bit odd to have sweet butter chicken. Naan & biryani were very good.
What a wonderful Indian restaurant! The ambiance is very chic & the food is delicious. It was not too spicy, it was just perfect. Their garlic naan is really good. Decent prices as well. We will definitely be back!
Dined here because someone said the butter chicken was the best thing they've ever eaten. The spice flavors were delicious, & chicken was not overcooked, but the sauce was very, very sweet... I suspect maple syrup. The garlic naan was delicious, as was the ginger lemonade.
Do not recommend having indian food at this restaurant. There are way better Indian restaurants out their in Montreal. The spices were bland with no flavours & way too expensive.
Also there was no respect of time given despite us making reservations online. All the naan breads that were served were either burnt or cold, food colour was added to chicken tikka masala.
Not worth spending your money on this restaurant. Fine dining with no real indian taste.
