The most flavorful Indian food I've had in the Montreal area. The chicken pakora was one of the best things I've eaten in my life. I will definitely come back again & again.

We were driving back to Toronto from Quebec City & decided to stop at The Swaad Indian Restaurant for lunch in Montreal-& it turned out to be one of the highlights of our journey.

The restaurant has a warm, inviting ambiance with a cozy atmosphere, & the vintage bike at the entrance was an instant hit with the kids.

We started with the crispy corn & masala fries, both of which the kids absolutely loved. The paneer butter masala was rich, velvety, & perfectly paired with incredibly soft butter naans. Among the vegetarian appetizers, the soya chaap was the standout & an absolute must-try. For the non-vegetarian starters, the karivepaku chicken delivered bold, tangy flavors with just the right amount of spice, while the fish was exceptionally tender & juicy.

No Indian feast is complete without biryani, & both the mutton ghee roast biryani & the special chicken biryani were outstanding-aromatic, flavorful, & easily the stars of the meal.

The quality of the food, the welcoming service, & the inviting ambiance exceeded our expectations, especially for a Monday afternoon. If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine in Montreal, this place is well worth the visit. We'll definitely be back on our next trip!

Appetizers - chicken with curry leaves, cauliflower with curry leaf were good. Apollo fish excellent. Main dish chicken curry tasted like it was made in a hurry.
Service was good.
Update for July 23, 2026: food standard has gone down

On a découvert par hasard en cherchant un resto indien sur la rive sud. La nourriture est vraiment goûteuse & j'ai particulièrement aimé l'entrée'chicken pakora', qui était assez addictif pour moi 😋 & le briani aux légumes. On est allé un mercredi pour le lunch.

First time having lunch at Swaad. We had the chicken hyderabadi & lamb korma, which were both delicious. The meals came with a lot of rice & naan. Even the rice on it's own was flavourful & really nice. Everything was perfect. Can't wait to go back.

Oh my god, oh my god. Great place!!!! 48$ for two, which is including the drinks!!! That's cheaper than in McDonalds!!! I love it! I came with my mom & the service was great, & super quick. Not only that, but the atmosphere was so nice, the people are so friendly, & if you're a person who loves Indian food like my mom & I, you'll definitely like this place. Naan perfectly cooked. Not one second over or under, perfect amount of butter. & don't even get me started of the rice. It was perfect. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, & delicious. I got the butter chicken, & my mom got the paneer masala. It's just so good I can't even begin to explain. You gotta try it!

We ordered dragon paneer, Hyderabad chicken gravy, paneer tikka masala, garlic naan, & tandoori roti. While the garlic naan & tandoori roti were excellent, the other dishes fell short of expectations. The paneer was tough & rubbery, & the chicken gravy was oversalted. Additionally, none of the items tasted authentically prepared, & considering the high prices, the overall experience was not worth the cost.
