The reviews for this place are super mixed, so if you're looking for an honest review, here it is!
They have tons of vegetarian options, & any meat dishes were offered in fish, lamb or chicken!
The butter chicken- Was smooth, spiced perfectly & offered a good amount of protein for the price. I personally like a little bit more spice, but was good for the others at my table who couldn't handle spice! A'died down' version of butter chicken that still packs a punch.
Chicken Tikka Masala- Decadent, well seasoned curry. There was a good amount of chicken for its price, this wasn't a crowd favourite but still a good dish the table somewhat enjoyed. Though there was nothing wrong with it exactly, just when compared to other tikka masala's it doesn't stand out.
Other dishes such as Aloo Gobi (cauliflower & potato curry), the chicken tikka, & all of the appetizers were good & frankly very delicious, but nothing Noteable to write about them.
The naan & rice were both good, steamy & fluffy, you can't go wrong with them! The rice had many components like peas & extra seasonings, which was super tasty, but we just wish a regular white rice option was clearly made available.
The garlic naan was delicious, & i recommend it over the regular!
- Only complaint i have about the rice & naan is that they both must be ordered as side dishes, upping the cost.
The desserts were fine, the flan cake was tasty but maybe if we return we probably won't have it again. Though it was tasty, had an eggy smooth taste, only order it if you're a big flan lover.
The donuts were good, but 6$ for 2 tiny donut balls smaller than Timbits was a little much.
The staff was kind, service was FAST, & the atmosphere of this place is incredible, you couldn't even guess it was an Indian place.
-Overall, this restaurant is great for those new to Indian food. If you're looking for authentic, spicy Indian cuisine, this wouldn't be the place i recommend. But- that doesn't mean we left dissatisfied. None of the food we had here was disappointing, all of it was tasty & nobody left hungry.
Would i come here again?- Yeah, but i would only really order the butter chicken & garlic naan, avoid any other dish I've already tried, & explore the menu a bit more. This place is great to come to 1-2 times, perhaps with family or co workers, but anymore i would have to pass.View more

Naan were good. Rest of the food was too westernized, doesn't taste like Indian food & was very bland. Tasteless curries or tandoori dishes (which are surprisingly made with no tandoori masala & served with no Chutney). Overall disappointing experience. Staff was cordial & efficient.View more

Came here for a late dinner with friends & right when we walked through the doors I was in awe of the atmosphere, cozy yet classy. The setup of the restaurant is really welcoming & the service was incredible too. Our waitress Emilie was charismatic & her service was amazing, helped us decide what we wanted. She recommended the buttered chicken poutine & it was SO GOOD ! Definitely coming back soon for another poutine & pitcher of sangria.View more

Ate here last night & I understand why the reviews are so divided. The food was cooked amazing. The tandoori vegetables & paneer are outstanding. The quality of the ingredients is better than any Indian place I have ever eaten at before. However, it is not strongly spiced & aromatic as I normally prefer.
I wouldnt bring friends from India here, but if you approach this place like a fusion/influenced by India place it is great.
Butter chicken, naan, & the tandoori veg were outstanding.
Cocktails & service were great, & I would definitely be back.
If you're newer to Indian food or have people in your party that aren't too food adventurous bring them here.
(Maybe there is a way to spice things up, but they didnt offer it to us)View more

My favourite Indian food in the city! It's a full-on sit-down restaurant, which is reflected in the prices, but very reasonable given the great ambiance & amazing quality & taste of the food & drinks.
Service is friendly & quick, food is presented beautifully & it's in a very pleasant accessible location by the old city.
Also the butter chicken poutine is INCREDIBLE (& the lamb korma is a personal fav)
Have gone back many times, & will be back for many more!View more

WOW, such good & tasty Indian cuisine. It's a little on the more expensive side but that goes with the area as well, near the old port.
The place is neat, clean & big enough to host big groups. They also had some nice wine & drink selection.
The service was also great for a full packed place, waiter was attentive & checking to make sure we had everything.
Food didn't take too long to arrive either & they give you a tasty little appetizer before your meal.
It is definitely worth a visit, you can go out of your way & try this place if you have the budget. It's worth a taste & visit.
I will go again & taste different options from the menu 🤤😋😋View more

Le 409 is a standout Indian restaurant nestled in the heart of Old Montreal. From the moment you step in, the ambiance captivates with its chic décor blending Indian & Havana influences. The lighting & overall vibe create a warm & inviting atmosphere, perfect for any occasion, be it a business dinner, a romantic evening, or a casual meal with friends.
The food is consistently impressive. Each dish bursts with authentic flavors, yet leaves you feeling light & satisfied. A personal favorite is the coriander lemonade, a refreshing drink not listed on the menu, but the staff graciously prepares it upon request. This level of personalized service speaks volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction.
It's unfortunate that they no longer offer lunch service, as it was a popular spot for my colleagues & I during workdays. However, I understand that operational decisions are influenced by various factors.
In terms of pricing, Le 409 offers excellent value. A typical meal, including a main course with rice, a popadum, & a drink, averages around $45 to $50. Considering the quality of the food, the ambiance, & the impeccable service, it's a reasonable price point.
Overall, Le 409 delivers a delightful dining experience that combines flavorful cuisine with a sophisticated yet comfortable setting. It's a place I wholeheartedly recommend & look forward to visiting again.View more

I had high hopes for Le 409, given its popularity, but unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the expectation. While the menu was varied, the flavors just didn't hit the mark for me. Some of the dishes were lacking in depth & seasoning, which was disappointing considering the restaurant's reputation.
That said, the service & atmosphere were top-notch. The staff were friendly, attentive, & made the whole dining experience pleasant. The ambiance also stood out-stylish, cozy, & inviting, which made the meal more enjoyable despite the food falling short.
Ultimately, while the environment & service were fantastic, I've had better Indian food at other places that delivered more in terms of flavor & authenticity.View more
