Reviewers describe Moon Star as a beloved, budget friendly spot offering authentic Bangladeshi flavors that feel like home, with generous portions, fresh ingredients, and warm hospitality that makes guests feel part of the family; the menu shines with staples like beef tehari, kacchi biryani, roast polao, piyaju, halim, bhorta, and milk tea, and the owner is repeatedly praised for kindness and attentiveness, with late hours and reliable delivery service adding to its appeal, though a few diners note occasional inconsistencies in freshness, some dishes that seemed reheated or a bit stale, a busy or casual atmosphere, and occasional pricing issues on delivery platforms. Overall, it is regarded as a must visit for Bangladeshi cuisine in Montreal, offering strong flavors, thoughtful service, and good value.
My friends & I came all the way from Toronto to explore Montreal, & we found this hidden gem! I had amazing Bangladeshi food here - especially the beef tehari & roast pulao. The seasoning was perfect. I highly recommend trying their food if you're looking for authentic Bangladeshi & Asian cuisine 👌👌👌
I had high expectations for this Bangladeshi restaurant in Montreal after hearing good things & seeing positive reviews, especially from the Bangladeshi community. Unfortunately, it seems like as the restaurant has become more popular, the quality of the food has declined.
I ordered 2 beef tehari, but it was overwhelmingly spicy & contained over 10 pieces of dried prunes in a single plate, which was excessive. On a previous visit, I had tried the roast & found it excellent, but this time the two pieces I ordered smelled more like tandoori smoked legs than authentic roast. The test was like old.
The beef kebab was decent but not something I would recommend. Honestly, the only thing that met expectations was the Canada Dry.
Overall, my expectations were not met. It's disappointing to see a place let their food quality slip after achieving some success.
I still believe this restaurant has quality foods.
The food was incredible! We ordered the chicken biryani & beef tehari-both were freshly made & full of flavor. The dishes reminded me of the home-cooked meals I grew up with in my Bengali family. We also got payesh to go, & it was lovely. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Bengali cuisine! :)
We traveled from Ottawa for a day trip to Montreal & chose Moonstar based on its high rating. At first glance, the entrance & décor might seem a bit underwhelming, but trust us-once you taste the food, you'll understand why this place is so highly rated.
The flavors took us straight back to Bangladesh, especially the biye bari r roast polau, which was perfectly spiced & incredibly comforting. We also had the tehari & haleem, both bursting with rich, traditional flavors. Every dish felt like a nostalgic trip home.
All in all, highly recommended-this spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for authentic Bangladeshi cuisine in Montreal!
Love the food here. Authentic Bangladeshi flavours. I've tried all the menu items & every dish I tried was packed with taste. The owners were super friendly. Highly recommend!?
Amazing food & customer friendly place. Best place in Montreal, if you look for the authentic DESHI taste. Highly recommended, especially beef tehari & haalim.
