We went here for dinner after a couple years for our mom's birthday. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The food was so good & all came out on time. We enjoyed a variety of dishes from samosa chaat, onion bhaji, fish pakora, chicken tikka, kabobs, chicken curry & a variety of veggie dishes. Their tandoori skills are fantastic! I highly recommend trying those dishes. I know everyone goes for the creamy ones like butter chicken, but the chicken curry is fantastic! The best part is that you know they are using good ingredients in a clean kitchen because all 7 of our group felt great after the meal. The only improvement that I think would elevate it to the next level is to invest in a proper serving staff. While there were really nice, it would take this restaurant to the next level. Well done! Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in Montreal.

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.

We had an amazing experience at Masala Art! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm & welcoming. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant & perfect.
The flavours were authentic, bold, & beautifully balanced-every dish felt like a celebration of Indian culture & tradition.
We tried the Chicken Momos, Chicken Manchurian, Seekh kebab, Tandoori chicken was OG, butter chicken, biryani & garlic naan & each one was outstanding. The spices were just right & the food was fresh, flavourful & cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were generous & everything was served hot & promptly.
If you're craving delicious, authentic Indian food, this is the place to go. Highly recommended! We will go again definitely.
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.
Their tandoori chicken is really good & naan is very fresh. The only dish I didn't like a lot was Manchurian.. but other than that I highly recommend this place..

Was my second time there. First time for a friend's bday dine in. This time take out. Had Butter Chicken, Aloo Gobi, Chicken 65, Saag Paneer, Samosas... etc. The food is delicious...everything was so tasty. Great service. Highly recommended!
Went for the first time with my family last night & I was pleasantly surprised. Great restaurant with amazing Indian flavourful dishes. We got Delhi Chaat platter, lamb briyani, chicken tawa, lamb chops & fish curry. Their garlic naan is to die for! Warm & cozy atmosphere. The owner was very welcoming & friendly. I highly recommend to try this restaurant.
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.
