The lamb rogan josh was the best I've ever had. The garlic naan was had amazing garlic flavor, the basmati rice was perfect, they had Guinness on tap which complimented the meal wonderfully & the chocolate with almond slices & crème was outstanding. The staff were pleasant & welcoming & the decor & atmosphere was relaxed but also intimate.View more

This Indian restaurant is pure comfort on a plate - every bite feels like home. The entire menu is packed with delicious dishes, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. Whether it's a casual night out or a special occasion, this is my go-to spot. I can't recommend it enough!View more

Garlic naan isn't a naan bread. It's tasteless.
Mango Lassi is pretty good.
Service excellent
Atmosphere very good.View more

I love visiting Montreal for all the wonderful restaurants it has to offer, but my favorite, & the one I always return to, is Le 409 in Old Montreal. Just the fun, eclectic décor is worth coming for, but the food & service is what will bring you back again & again. Some of the best Indian food I've had. I just love this place!View more

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
