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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.

Went here for dinner on a trip to Montreal. The place has a really good ambience that gets bowled over by the amazing food. An elevated taste of Indian food while retaining a lot of its flavors & some originals mixed in. If the ambience & food doesn't get you happy enough, their superfast service & really friendly staff will surely get there. The place being fully packed is a testament to the 5 star experience of this place. This is on my list of must go restaurants whenever I visit Montreal.
Amazing indian food in Montreal, everything blew past any of my expectations, everything was dleicious, the cocktails were phenomenal, & the deconstructed samosa left everyone speechless, no joke, it was that good. The service was cocktails top-notch, & the atmosphere was perfect. You will not be disappointed. Do yourself a favor & go here.
It is rare that a restaurant Wows me in Montreal. But le 409 did just that. Le 409 is a well-oiled operation (trained & educated staff, good ambience, the cooking skills were great, good drinks, good choices of wines -even the wines by the glass selection is really good, an overall good dining experience), a superb restaurant. As far as the food goes, the fundamentals of Indian cuisine are respected & applied (the menu is composed of traditional fares for the most part), but do not be surprised to see creations of their own as well (which is refreshing & appropriate in the context of an eclectic city like Montreal). Le 409 has the looks of a trendy gastropub , but they did not allow that to distract from what matters: they are cooking proper Indian food (which makes sense since the people at former classic Indian restaurant Atma are also behind Le 409). This is one of the better Indian restaurants in Montreal. & Chapeau to Hugo's superb service & leadership (to be great, a restaurant operation needs a leader like you. Obviously, that superb dinner testifies to that).
Love how this place has great Indian flavors with a modern/contemporary restaurant vibe. Cocktails were great! Went back the following night while I was in town for work it was so good!
