Had a good experience at Restaurant Moonstar & tried quite a few Bangladeshi dishes. The Beef Tehari was tasty, although a little oily for my taste. Chicken Tandoori with naan & salad was good, & the Beef Seekh kebab was definitely one of my favourites. The shak was also really good & had a nice deshi taste.
The Duck Curry wasn't quite for me, & the Tengra fish was just okay. The ambience is pretty simple, but overall the food was good & we enjoyed our meal.
A solid spot for Bangladeshi food. Overall, 4.5/5 from me! 🇧🇩
Though rice is the foundation of Bangladeshi cuisine (plain rice, pulao rice, kicchuri, biryani, tehari, kacchi, even rice roti), it's good to see this restaurant upgraded from its initial offering of cooked frozen parathas (a few years back) to one of the best freshly baked layered naans in MTL. Some Bangla restaurant do not offer naans at all, just rice. So hats off to Marché Moonstar for its willingness to adapt & evolve to provide this option to other customers. The Bhuna curries are authentic & consistently well done.
Very good food. Fresh & yummy. The new Malai chicken is the best item. We ordered half chicken tandoori, lamb kebab, beef tikka, Malai chicken. All tastes really good. Took some take aways too- lamb kebab, Beef tehari & malai chicken. Beef tehari tasted awesome. Service is good, very friendly. Best part is the price is very reasonable & the portion is big. Good food with large portion but less proce than other places for authentic Bangladeshi food. Loved it. Will go again if we come to this city again. Or passing by. All the best to the moon star team.
Trying their food took me back to when I went to visit Dhaka, Bangladesh for a couple of months. Excellent service & very welcoming! Portions are generous! We had their Beef Tehari, Chicken Curry, with the side dish Allo Bhorta, Begun Bhorta, & Sutki Bhorta. All very tasty & delicious, spicy, & authentic!
Food:
Summary: Tastes like good home cooked meal, nothing close to bangladeshi restaurants or baburchis. Thats not an issue. Main issue it doesnt taste fresh, most items taste like it has been frozen for a long time & reheated when serving. Tried this place twice, & the food tasted stale both times. Price is reasonable based on local market.
Tehari: (4/5) tastes close to authentic tehari in Bangladesh. But the meat pieces were tough & felt like it was prepared long ago & re-heated. Not like it wasnt cooked properly, it was as if the meat became stale & tough by the process of freezing & reheating. But rating 4 out 5 still since taste was close to home.
Kachhi: (1/5) The meat was definitely old, stale, & reheated. The meat was tough & looked stale as well. It it did not taste a day or two old stale, it tasted like it was at least a week old. Rating 1 only because the rice had some hint of fragrance of authentic kachhi, but it is still far off. Plan to get a roast or something to have with it because the biriyani meat is almost inedible.
Roast Polao: 5/5. Tastes like home but the polao is extremely greasy.
Service: Service is very slow. Except for the owner, nobody else knows how to greet customers. But thats fine for a small authentic restaurant such as this.
Amosphere: Mostly a takeaway. Didnt feel like a place where I would plan to sit & enjoy.
You must go here! We had the Beef Tehari, Chicken Curry & Rui Fish with Milk Tea. Every dish was amazing. The service is so thoughtful, they even gave us a free portion of a lamb dish & dessert on the house after having prepared a catering order. The prices are more than reasonable, we were stuffed full for under $40.
One of the best restaurants for Deshi food in Montreal. We order Beef Tehari & Chicken Roast, which was perfect for us. The food was very delicious & we really enjoyed the food.
The main thing is their consistency, no matter how much customer they're serving, their food quality & taste never drops.
We were passing through Montreal from Toronto & decided to grab lunch here, & I'm really glad we did. We ordered the beef tehari & it was honestly so good-full of flavor & very comforting. Everyone working there was kind & easy to talk to, & the owner was especially friendly & welcoming. Nothing felt rushed, & the service was just genuinely nice. Overall, it was a great experience & I'd definitely recommend this place if you're craving Bangladeshi food.
