At Makkah, reviews highlight strong value and a menu rich in flavor, with keema minced veal varieties and a standout lamb draw high marks in Montreal; butter chicken is hit or miss, and chicken pieces can be small with no grill marks. Naan generally pleases, though garlic naan may lack fresh garlic or herbs. The chicken biryani stands out and portions are generous, while some would like even larger servings. Fries are repeatedly praised as among the best in the city, and prices are considered reasonable for a feast-like experience. The space is small and clean, suitable for family meals or casual groups, with friendly and patient service, though the atmosphere can feel plain and a few dishes arrive unevenly. Overall, the cuisine is described as authentic Afghan and Indian, fresh and aromatic, making Makkah a recommended spot for those in Montreal seeking hearty, flavorful dishes.
Ordered: butter chicken, matar paneer, rice, plain naan, butter naan, garlic naan, & a large fries.
Butter chicken: 4/5
Matar paneer: 4.5/5 (ratio of paneer to peas was low)
Rice: 4/5 (huge portion, worth the price)
Plain naan: 3/5 (bit boring & dry)
Butter naan: 4/5 (good basic naan)
Garlic naan: 3/5
Fries: 5/5 (BEST fries I've found in the city, went back the next day for 3 large. Only down side is there osnt enough)
Took food to go, ultimately pretty good!
They asked about spice level & were kind at the counter. Food was ready quickly! The space is a little small but perfect for a small get together or first date. The decor isn't anything special, but it's comfy.

The food was delicious & the prices reasonable, my 5yo son had a taste of one of the many dishes we ordered & said'I've never ate something as good as this!' between bites. The service was very good, the server was kind & patient which I appreciated since I sometimes am not patient enough with my own children.
If you were looking for good afghan food this restaurant is it.😋😋😋😋
Very nice place, & very clean, service is very friendly, food is good, the prices are very affordable. The wc is very very clean which is rare in these kind of restaurants. Definitely recommended
Excellent food. Authentic taste but a a tad pricey for the quantity served. Each person would have to order their individual appetizer, main dish & paratha/rice to feel decently full. Service is attentive & quick (about 20 mins from order time). Ambience is nice but tables are a little close to each other for comfort.

We went to the restaurant yesterday because we were exploring Quebec & my kids were very hungry so we decided to eat Indian food. I've went to many Indian restaurants but this one standard out the most! We're originally from Ontario & there are many great Indian restaurants over there also. The service is amazing the staff was super nice to us! Even the restaurant its self wasn't pretty small but good. Lastly the food, my family ordered butter chicken, garlic naan, chicken biryani, & mutter keema. Everything was so good & I liked the way they made the butter chicken it was a new taste for me. The prices are also pretty decent, me & my family had a good meal in $60. Definitely recommend coming here if you're visiting Montreal or Quebec City. The best thing on their menu is the chicken biryani definitely must try again! Also, my son ordered Gulab Jamun & the portion was good! There were 3 pieces & enough to fill 1-3 people! Hope this review helped!😊
Amazing food & service! I’ve been there a lot of times with my family & everything the quality is perfect. Price is so reasonable. I saw a review about a guy on Uber eats complaining about 2 butter chicken costing 26$.. what do you expect? When you go to a French restaurant everything is so expensive & here you are complaining about not only one but 2 portions of butter chicken for only 26$. They should raise their price for sure because this is nothing to the prices of other restaurants. The complain was extremely weird. Will be coming again for sure. My fav restaurant.
