Les critiques décrivent Moon Star comme un lieu prisé et abordable offrant des saveurs bengalaises authentiques qui donnent l'impression de rester chez soi, avec des portions généreuses, des ingrédients frais et une hospitalité chaleureuse qui fait sentir les clients comme invités à la maison; le menu met en valeur des plats emblématiques tels que le tehari, le kacchi biryani, le roast polao, le piyaju, le halim, le bhorta et le thé au lait, et le propriétaire est souvent salué pour sa gentillesse et son attention, avec des horaires tardifs et un service via les plateformes de livraison qui ajoutent à son attrait, bien que quelques convives signalent des incohérences occasionnelles de fraîcheur, des plats parfois vieux ou réchauffés, une atmosphère parfois animée ou décontractée et des soucis occasionnels de tarification sur les applications; en somme, c'est une adresse à visiter pour la cuisine bengalie authentique à Montréal, offrant de belles saveurs, un service attentionné et un bon rapport qualité prix.
The food was AMAZING & the service & prices were great!! We shared a bunch of stuff, & the roast polao was my favorite! We also got free rice pudding! Overall I highly recommend!!
This is as authentic as it gets for Bengali food. It's the best bang for the buck. It reminds you of Bangladesh, where the chairs & ambiance isn't so great but the food makes up for everything. The roast pulao reminds you exactly of what a traditional Bengali wedding. It's rich & creamy & filling with the fragrant pulao rice. Will be definitely coming back for more & recommend this spot.

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!
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.
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.
Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

New customer I had the chicken roast pulao & tea. Very satisfied will come back for the rui mas fish plate. They serve fresh green chillies with the plate which I prefer!
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 have been here before & it always gives me that homely, home cooked feel. Today we ordered the Roast Pulao & they surprised us with lamb chops (Not sure about the actual name, sorry for that) & naan as a complimentary. Even tho I'm not a fan of lamb but that was so good. Finished it off with Payesh/Firni. Absolutely loved it 👌🏻

Loved this little place! Very affordable, & the owner, Moon, is super sweet & constantly came over to confirm we liked the food, even gave us free little dessert rolls. We loved the biryani rice, the butter chicken, & the'roast chicken' (which actually comes in a delicious sauce!). We've since come back twice for more!
I've been dying for a homestyle Bangladeshi meal for weeks now & discovered this lovely spot Moon Star today. I had the Chicken Curry & Roast Pulao, easily enough portion for 2 very hungry people. Lucky for my friend that I will bring some home. The food was fresh & made with a lot of love, the taste won't deny that! Moon (the owner) is also very lovely & so welcoming!
Definitely will come back again for this lovely slice of Bangladesh in Montreal.
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.
Restaurant Moon Star is a hidden gem located in Park-Extension.
The food they serve, especially their chicken roast polao, is among the best of Bengali cuisine. It is juicy & mouth watering & you won't leave this restaurant without getting more meals to eat at home.
Combined the great food with the amazing hospitality of the owner who makes you feel at home, this place is easily in my top 5 picks to eat out at Parc-Extension. Do not miss this place!
Its famous for the quality food it serves!
Its open 24/7.
The food is very fresh & tasty.
We ordered Roast Polau. It was freshly made & superb.
Also, when we got there was no kebab. But then the owner cooked for us. She is very cordial & friendly. She will make her guest feel welcome.
She is very generous also gifted us a dessert.
Overall its a fantastic restaurant. This is Bangladeshi origin. Highly recommended.
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!
