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.
If you want good food in a bar/cocktail atmosphere, this is the place. The restaurant has an "industrial" interior design aesthetic, with lots of cool lights & silverware. This is an excellent place to have Indian food (near Old Port) & this is my go-to. They have a wide array of curries (creamy, spicy etc.) with different selection of meats (e.g. shrimp, lamb, chicken) & vegetables, with a good amount of spice. It is so special to find a place that pulls off a) homey b) classy c) fricking good food &) excellent service. Whenever I take my friends here, we always leave on a full stomach (the full kind where you have to unbutton your pants).
I wish I could find 6 stars. Our server was magnificent. The food was spectacular & the ambience is unbeatable. This is truly a hip, Indian restaurant & bar. The music creates the vibe & the chatter of the patrons draws you in. This is a "must" when visiting Montreal.
Nice Indian restaurant. Really good lamb biryani but rest of dishes were just ok - overall portions are very small in comparison to how high prices are

Bonne nourriture, l'endroit est charmant & élégant. Le prix de la nourriture est plus chère que ce que vous trouverez dans d'autres restaurants indiens, mais c'est le prix à payer dans le vieux port.
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
Définitivement mon restaurant indien préféré à Montréal. Le service est professionnel. Les plats sont tous parfaitement assaisonnés. Le portions sont exactement ce qu'il faut. L'ambiance est chaleureuse. J'adore tout du 409. J'y suis allé souvent & j'y retournerai encore.

Wow, wow, wow!! Quelle expérience fantastique : l'ambiance, l'emplacement, le service, la nourriture... TOUT était plus que parfait. Un gros coup de coeur, je recommande le saumon tandoori & mes amies ont adoré le poulet au beurre & le poulet Tikka Masala. Merci beaucoup!
Visited during a trip to Montreal....great Indian Food & the service was excellent. I sometimes find Indian food to be too spicy, but they flavored to taste.
Great food with beautiful ambiance & decor. The food is definitely more expensive than what you'll find at other Indian restaurants, but you're paying for the premium of being in the old port & the beautiful interior. Great option if you're looking for good Indian food with an upscale atmosphere.
