Reviewers describe Mahli Sweets as a welcoming, family run spot with fast service and clean premises, where the food is praised for authentic North Indian flavors and a wide variety of dishes, including samosas, aloo tikki, chole bhature and goat curry served with naan. Several comments highlight generous portions and good value for the price, while others note that curries can be sparse and portions do not always match the cost. The owner is repeatedly mentioned for a warm, friendly welcome that makes diners feel at home. The menu features a mix of classic Indian staples and house specialties, with notes about no oil in some dishes and items like desi pizzas and paneer options; some dishes are described as outstanding. Decor and space are modest and in need of renovation, but packaging is eco friendly with paper or tin containers. Some travelers caution to skip the chai while praising drinks like mango lassi, and many diners leave convinced this is among the best Indian spots in Montreal.
The food is excellent. The chicken, beef or lamb Thali plate is very good & includes a nan bread which is perfect for the sauce. The place is rather small so reservations are recommended. Service is fast & courteous.

Someone told me to try the fish pakoras, desi pizzas (like butter chicken pizza, paneer pizza) so I'm rating so I remember.
Edit: I placed an order on skip the dishes tonight. The recommended items weren't on the menu so maybe they only have them in house. The food was outstanding! I love the eggplant, aloo gobi, naurtan (mixed veg) but all the dishes & appetizers were good (other things I ordered were the malhi special roll, dal makhani, chickpeas & lentil soup. I wouldn't recommend the lentil soup but it wasn't bad.) I got medium spicy but I would say it was on the spicier side & I tolerate spicy food so I recommend getting mild spice unless you plan on mixing with lots of rice or bread. All items except the lentil soup came in paper or tin containers which is highly appreciated! I try to prioritize reordering from restaurants that use eco friendly packaging.
This place offers a great service & amazing indian food. This place is perfect to bring your friends & family. The waiters are some amazing persons & are ready to make you laugh at every occasion! The service was fast & hot everytime. Visit this place & come back with a big smile on your face. Rhe food is as good as it could get.
