Nous avons mangé des plats savoureux, parfaitement bien cuisinés, dans une ambiance très agressante (décor, musique, lumière etc) mais le plus parfait a été le service de Hugo & de son équipe ! Bravo !
We went last night & had a lovely time! The portions are a good size. With an appetizer, two main dishes & some naan between the 2 of us & we were stuffed!!! The tikka salmon was delicious, a good surprise!
Atmosphere & service was great! Staff were kind & quick to take our orders, they also refilled our glasses of water very often. I had the mango lassi & my friends got several curry & rice dishes! It was delicious!
We recently visited Le 409, a restaurant that presents itself as a high-end Indian dining experience. The ambiance was undeniably top-notch, with a refined, elegant atmosphere & the enticing aroma of various dishes filling the air. The menu was extensive, offering a wide variety of options. However, when it came to the food, I was quite disappointed. The Chicken 65, which is typically a dry appetizer, was much too hard to chew, with a coating that was unnecessarily thick. Surprisingly, it was the best dish we ordered out of everything. The Paneer Saag was bland & lacked seasoning, with no noticeable salt, leaving it flavorless. On a more positive note, the Garlic Naan was quite good. However, the Chicken Madras was a huge letdown-completely off from the traditional flavor. The overpowering use of coconut overwhelmed the dish, making it by far the worst Chicken Madras I've tasted. Additionally, the service could use improvement. The waiter took away our dishes after the appetizers but forgot to replace them when the main course arrived. We had to wait & eventually call someone over to assist us, which disrupted the dining experience. For a restaurant that charges premium prices, the quality of both the food & the service needs to match the cost. While the ambiance is first-class, they need to deliver good service & food to justify the high prices.
The food is way too salty & pricy at this place overall. Ordered Bahjee onion as appetizer, first of all the waitress forgot our order. Secondly, it's very oily & unbearably salty. Panner naan was very delicious tho. Lamb tikka is pretty dry.

J'ai passé une excellente soirée au restaurant Le 409 ! Le service était excellent, avec un personnel attentionné. La nourriture était tout simplement délicieuse, chaque plat était savoureux & très bien épicé. J'ai particulièrement adoré le saumon tikka & le poulet au beurre, qui étaient parfaitement assaisonnés. Tous les pains naan étaient incroyables, moelleux & savoureux, ce qui a vraiment complété le repas. Une expérience culinaire à refaire sans hésitation. ⚠️ l'agneau était ultra ultra pimenté, ce n'est pas pour les doux du palais ! 🚾 Les toilettes sont au fond du restaurant & ne sont pas genrées.
Excellent moment passé au 409. Les plats étaient légèrement trop épicés à mon goût mais étaient néanmoins exquis. Le service était impeccable & le cadre tout simplement top.
Classy & cozy feel. Interior is very intrigued. Food is decent, not too much authentic, but very decent. Been here twice & will be back when visiting the area. Keep up the good work.
Although the lamb vindaloo was delicious, it just doesn't compare to the Indian food found in Surrey, B.C. Excellent service, but no a lot of privacy. Very cramped.
