Le restaurant est bien aménagé & le décor est très beau! La nourriture est bonne, goûteuse & les portions généreuses. Ceci dit, mon repas supposément non épicé l'était beaucoup. Aussi, le service est lent donc vous devez être patient.
Wonderful ambience. Amazing cocktails. Great food. Naan was delicious. We had the lamb rojangosh ,which was perfectly flavored. Lamb was melt in the mouth. Shrimp madras was a bit disappointing. Shrimp a bit rubbery & too much mustard seeds made the dish slightly bitter, but still a decent dish. Would recommend.
Their menu consists of standard Indian food that most everyone likes but cooked to perfection. The onion bahjis & the shrimp korma fell into the category of best ever. The only dish that wasn't extraordinary was the nan bread which was a bit on the soggy side. Maybe the rotis are better. &, typical of Holder restaurants, they have a top notch cocktail bar. Our espresso martinis were delicious & effective!
My wife & I recently enjoyed an incredible dinner at Le 409, an elegant Indian restaurant in Montreal. We had a dinner reservation & were excited to explore their menu, which did not disappoint. The ambiance at Le 409 is sophisticated yet warm, blending modern décor with traditional Indian accents. The dim lighting & vibrant colors created a cozy atmosphere, perfect for an intimate dinner. The service was equally impressive, with our server Benjamin providing excellent recommendations & ensuring our dining experience was seamless. For starters to share, we ordered the CHANA SAMOSA-a pastry stuffed with potatoes & spices, topped with chickpea masala. It was so delicious that we immediately ordered another round! The flavors were bold & perfectly balanced, a fantastic way to begin our meal. For our entrée, we opted for family-style sharing & indulged in several flavorful dishes: - BUTTER CHICKEN: Tender marinated chicken cubes in a creamy tomato sauce infused with aromatic spices. - LAMB KORMA: Lamb cubes in a creamy almond & raisin sauce, rich & mildly sweet. - LAMB ROGANJOSH: Lamb cubes cooked in a flavorful curry sauce with yogurt, mint, & spices. - CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA: Chicken cubes in a creamy sauce with onions, tomatoes, & peppers. To complement these dishes, we ordered two servings each of GARLIC NAAN & PILAU RICE, which were the perfect accompaniments to soak up the rich sauces. For drinks, we all had Mango Lassi. It was phenomenal - unlike the overly sweet versions we've had in the U.S., this one was perfectly balanced, allowing the natural flavors of mango & yogurt to shine through. Le 409 exceeded our expectations with its exceptional food, inviting ambiance, & top-notch service. This dinner was a true culinary journey, & we can't wait to return!
Contrary to its high rating, this restaurant offers mediocre Indian food that has been overly adapted to Western tastes. The naan seemed overly leavened (too much baking soda). The Chicken 65 tasted more like a Manchurian. The Madras Curry had no curry leaves. The eggplant dish was under seasoned. If you're looking for authentic Indian - this isn't it..
Very tasty indian food. We waited a little for our food but still, it came out amazing. The staff was really helpful & the ambience was great. The chana samosa is to die for.
