Indian food has become our go to. When we can't decide on a restaurant for a Saturday night, Indian food rarely disappoints.
Friends, who live in the West Island recommended this place so we double dated to give it a try.
Because the menu was so extensive it took us a few minutes to figure out what we wanted to order.
We decided to share, between the 4 of us, the Samosa Chaat with Chick Peas. The 2 vegetable samosas were cut into 6 pieces & covered in a chicken pea curry. This was not a spicy dish & is very filling. Delicious!
Then we ordered, a Chicken 65, the Chili Garlic Chicken, a plain Naan & a rice.
The Chicken 65 was a nice size plate of breaded tender mortals of chicken with curry leaves, ginger, garlic & mustard seeds mixed into a red sticky sauce. Very Good!
The Chili Garlic Chicken is found on the Indian Chinese portion of their menu. Why not try something different. It wasn't. It was the same small cut up pieces of chicken but with a garlic, chili, onion & green pepper sauce. A cut up basket of Naan & fluffy basmati rice followed.
Being the first time we're eating here, we were pleasantly surprised.
The food was loaded with flavor, & served hot.
The service could have been quicker & more attentive.
Would we ever go back? For sure.

Having worked with Chef Anil in the past, including during his time at Karma, I was excited to see him open his own place-& it absolutely delivers.

He brings the same refined, authentic, high-end approach he was known for, but in a setting that's far more accessible without sacrificing quality. The flavors are bold, layered, & genuinely transportive-some dishes keep taking you straight back to Mumbai.

This is top-notch Indian cuisine done right: thoughtful, balanced, & deeply authentic. A must-try for anyone who truly loves Indian food.

The food quality was outstanding. Every dish was rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, & clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The aromas alone were mouthwatering, & the presentation was just as impressive. Each bite felt authentic & satisfying, reminding me of true Indian home-style cooking with a refined touch.

We recently hosted a party & had the pleasure of working with this amazing Indian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was bursting with authentic flavors & beautifully presented. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it!

What truly stood out, though, was the service. The team went above & beyond to make sure everything was seamless & stress-free. From the initial planning to the final delivery, they were professional, friendly, & incredibly accommodating.

A big thank you to my friend Sumit Sharma for the fantastic recommendation - it truly made our event special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to impress their guests with some great food !!

I recently visited Masala Art & was really impressed! The highlight of my meal was definitely the fried momos - perfectly crispy on the outside & packed with flavorful filling on the inside. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, & the accompanying dipping sauce had just the right amount of kick. Highly recommend them if you're a momo lover!

The overall ambiance was amazing, the service was attentive, & the menu has a great variety of dishes. I'll definitely be back to try more.

I ordered take out so the pictures of the food doesn't look too appealing but I can confirm that the food was super tasty & delicious & a must try.
Everything was the perfect amount of flavor & spice. I also had amazing service from the server, he was very nice. Made my partner taste mango lassi to see how they liked it & it was honestly one of the best mango lassi's I've tasted.
I will definitely dine in next time I go, the restaurant was super clean, nice atmosphere & big enough for a good amount of people.
If you're around that area, don't hesitate to stop by if you're in the mood for indian cuisine.

Absolutely exquisite!
Masala Art delivers an outstanding Indian dining experience. The butter chicken is rich & flavorful, the garlic naan is simply divine, & the quality of the chicken is top-notch. We asked for our dishes to be mild, & they respected that perfectly - the flavors were still incredible. The staff is kind & attentive, & our whole family loved every bite. Highly recommended!

GREAT GREAT GREAT It's was our first time at masala art. The food was delicious the portions were generous, the flavors were perfect. It is the best Indian food so far in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant. One small thing would be to bring inside the style of the beautiful restaurant logo that we see from the outside of the premises.

Delicious Indian Flavors & the Best Kulfi! I recently dined at Masala Art DOLLARD-DES-ORMEAUX, & it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm & welcoming, with a vibrant yet cozy feel. The menu offers a wide range of authentic Indian dishes, each more flavorful than the next. We ordered cholle bhature, chaat platter, idli sambar & dosa . They all tatsed simply awesome. But the highlight of the meal was definitely the dessert-kulfi! Their kulfi is simply divine! Creamy, rich, & bursting with kesar pista flavor, it was the perfect way to end the meal. Whether you're a fan of traditional flavors like pistachio or mango, or looking to try something new, the kulfi here is a must-try. Overall, Masala Art delivers an authentic & satisfying Indian dining experience. Highly recommended, especially for indian food lover.

Heard of this place from word of mouth & thoroughly enjoyed the food! We had ordered the Delhi platter, chicken tikka & chicken seekh kabob as appetizers for 5 individuals & it was plenty. The flavor & spice of the seekh kabob was very nice along with the chutney that they serve with it. The butter chicken & lamb vindaloo were great as well. The lamb vindaloo was unique & unlike any other lamb vindaloo we've had. It was a bit sweet for our liking so would definitely recommend requesting it to be spicy next time. Overall, loved the experience & will be back soon!

I never leave reviews but I just have to rave about this place. We have been ordering takeout regularly from Masala Art for the last few years - large orders - & we have never - NOT ONCE - had a mistake in our order. How is that even possible statistically Also the food - authentic, flavorful, plentiful - & the service we get is always welcoming & kind. This place is a West Island gem. Highly recommend.

Recently dined at this Indian restaurant & was pleasantly surprised by the variety on the menu, including some original dishes that you don't typically see at other places. The momos were particularly impressive & come highly recommended - a real highlight of our meal. There's also a great selection of sharing plates, which is perfect for groups wanting to sample a broad array of flavors. While it's not a high-end dining establishment, the quality of the food & the overall experience were very good. It's definitely worth checking out for those interested in exploring Indian cuisine in a casual setting.
