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.

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.
Masala art restaurant is best in montreal & best in all the indian restaurants we have tried. Food is amazing & the service is awesome. They made sure all our requests were met & were very kind & generous. I recommend this restaurant for best indian food in Montreal.
I usually am not a fan of indian food but this place is amazing!!! Amazing service & food! Clean & cozy place also. Highly recommend. Amazing staff also! Also I am lactose intolerant & the man there was very patient & made sure my order was made without creams etc… best Indian restaurant in Montréal… very fresh food as well
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!
I have been a repeating customer to Masala Art since they have opened. It has quickly become my favorite Indian restaurant in Montreal, & in my top restaurants of the West Island. I even bring my family & friends who visit from out of town!
The food is absolutely delicious & flavourful. I crave it all the time & have never been disappointed. The portions are generous & the service is great!
I would also recommend trying their brunch menu on weekends!
We went here a few weeks ago for the first time for my mom's bday & it was a great experience. The menu has many options, but just enough so you're not overwhelmed. The food was delicious, the size of the servings was decent & the service was fast. The prices were also reasonable. I will definitely return & would recommend it, but would suggest making a reservation even if you're having an early dinner!
