It is an average Indian-fusion restaurant. The food is a bit bland & a bit too sugary but I guess that is very common in this country. Not authentic. But that is not a bad thing necessarily.
If you give specific instructons then that will be respected. The service was good & friendly. & the atmosphere in the restaurant was chill & elegant.
I have experienced dine-in as well as home delivery.
Went to 409 last week. Order the samosas & Butter Chicken they are amazing! Found the lamb korma average (needs to be spicier). But all portion sizes were good & the food was inexpensive for a restaurant in downtown Montreal.
Wanted to love the place given the other reviews I've read but the food was mediocre. The chicken tikka masala did not have the traditional chicken tikka & the sauce was quite bland- very tomato soup-y. The naan was decent but not like authentic naan, quite bready. We had grilled vegetables & paneer for starters…there were around 2-3 pieces of paneer with a whole load of inedible carrots (extremely tough), but the grilled bell peppers & mushrooms were ok. I'd look for another spot if you want authentic Indian food but the atmosphere were nice enough to enjoy with friends/family.
Really high, gourmet, best Indian food I have ever had - & yes I've been to London. Very inexpensive for Old Port area - at first I thought the menu prices for some kind of'tapas' or other gouging tricks, but then I realized no, that's for a main, & a truly filling one as well! Really nice, pro service who seemed to know just when to interrupt & when to leave you alone. A beautiful space too! Our new favorite spot in the Old Port!
Great atmosphere, but the food was just okay. The vegetarian dishes were normal & lacked the'wow' factor I expected given the amazing interior. Both the food & drinks felt a bit overpriced for the quality. Beautiful place, but the taste needs to catch up to the ambiance.
C'était notre 4e fois a ce resto, hier soir.
Toujours vécu une expérience 5 étoiles.
& tous les amis que nous y avons amenés on aussi adoré.
Repas très savoureux, ambiance agréable, service parfait.
On y retournera... encore !!
Wow! J'ai tout adoré de ma soirée. Nous étions un groupe de 25 & le service a été incroyable. Notre serveuse Adélaïde, a été d'une efficacité hors pair, très présente & surtout super souriante & agréable. Nous avons choisi le menu « groupe » qui nous a permis de goûter à plusieurs plats. Tout était parfaitement goûteux, de bonnes portions & une belle variété. Le prix est plus qu'abordable & la qualité est là. La place est très jolie & l'ambiance est très bien. Faut découvrir ce resto. Merci également à Vincent qui a été un super au service. Tout est WOW !
The ambiance & food were great. However, being in the hotel industry & knowing how important & yet rare to get a great service, I was truly impressed with the service that I got at 409. It was wonderful. From the moment we arrived & were asked to take our jackets to the moment we left, everyone & I mean EVERYONE was so pleasant & attentive. We felt taken care of & had a wonderful meal. I regret not taking their names (honestly I was shy to ask), but I definitely thanked them for a wonderful job & I'm happy to leave a review because they deserve it. Thank you!

Food was nice ,not too spicy not too mild , the perfect balance, the dessert was the catch , we are vegetarians so for starters we had - grilled vegetables (was good) & Chana samosa ( this one was better then prior)
In mains you should definitely try the saag paneer
Ambiance is nice
Great selection of wines
Bar is beautiful
Highly recommend
Just that they should have more vegetarian starters options as me & my husband are heavy drinkers , when out so we like it accompanied by good sides rather than just 2 & endless papadums.
I will a this restaurant a 10/10
Incredible food & service, wonderful atmosphere & the most cozy environment. Kateryna has so much insight into the wine & food & really contributed to a great evening. Can't wait to return!
Absolutely phenomenal, I had the chicken madras, the madras was the perfect amount of heat & flavour. The service was excellent, & the atmosphere was pure bliss. Truly a 10/10 experience !
