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.
Didn't expect the food to be this good given the atmosphere but it completely exceeded expectations. Easily a 5/5. I'll definitely be coming back again.
I went to Moon Star restaurant on my short visit to Montreal from Toronto. I must say their food blew me away. Every dish we ordered had an authentic Bangladeshi taste: no fusion, no mixes no shortcuts. Moon Apu is incredible, her hospitality was beyond amazing. To top it all, she gave me a box of piyaju on the house for my way home to Toronto. If you are in Montreal & wanting to try authentic Bangladeshi cuisine….dont think twice just try this gem out!
I've been here twice. First time was life-changing. Not to be dramatic.
I was craving chicken & rice & got exactly that. Roast Polao. I savoured every bite & couldn't stop thinking about it.
I really enjoyed how it felt like a home-cooked meal prepared just for me.
The portion size filled me up haha
The staff are warm & the environment feels safe. Like I'm traveling somewhere & just popped in for a bit to eat.
Definitely worth trying!
Thank you, Moon

I can't believe how amazing the food was here. Original Bangladeshi taste. Felt like I was back home. Super cheap as well. I don't know if there is any other restaurant that opens so early & stay open until so late as well like Moon Star!!?
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.
L'attente était interminable presque 30 min à attendre malheureusement.. Ils ne parlaient pas français également j'ai du commander en anglais je trouve ça inadmissible.. ça ne valait pas le détou
After a long time, I finally had a truly satisfying meal. The food was exceptional-both in quantity & quality. Every dish carried the rich aroma & authentic taste of traditional Bangladeshi cuisine, which made the experience even more special.
What stood out the most, however, was the hospitality. The owners treated us with such warmth & care, it felt less like dining at a restaurant & more like being welcomed into a family home. Their kindness & attention made the entire experience unforgettable.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine flavors & heartfelt service.
Amazing experience . Specially food was very fresh , hot & tasty. Serving was very friendly. I would really recommend everyone to try this atleast once. You wont regret.
This is a great hole-in-the-wall establishment. The food is absolutely delicious & authentic Bangladeshi - you can tell a lot of care goes into making it. The owner Moon is a gem, she even provided us free shemai for Eid. The prices are extremely reasonable. Will definitely return!
Vous devez attendre un peu pour votre commande mais ça en vaut la peine car les plats sont absolument savoureux & la quantité est généreuse. Je recommande fortement.
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.
The food is absolutely delicious & tastes just like authentic Bangladeshi food. Whenever I have it, it always brings back memories of Bangladesh. The biryani here is the best Bangladeshi biryani I've had in Montreal.
