I came here Dec 2 2025 with a LARGE group for a birthday party. They accommodated us all graciously, & even gave us on the house complimentary food!
The service was absolutely amazing, as we were a huge group (almost 20), the orders were sometimes late or mixed up but the staff corrected it & was so kind.
The place was well lit with space to sit & chat. There was not a lot of parking outside.
The food was a bit salty to my taste, i ordered shahi paneer & it did not taste like other shahi paneers i order from other restaurants (usually it has a similar taste to butter chicken but without the chicken), but it was otherwise so tasty.
Given the price, the huge portions do make up for it & there is leftovers at the end because of how much food there is.
I live close by & was really hoping that this place would crush it. But, unfortunately, when we went on recent Tuesday night, a couple of days before Christmas, the food just wasn't very good.
I've had better food there before, so to say the least, there's definitely a consistency problem.
I had the chicken biryani which was ok at best. But my partner's food was very disappointing. She had the vegetarian combo (thali) with daal & alo gobi (cauliflower & potatoes) curries. They were both pretty bad, & probably not fresh & barely warm. Even the naan that came with the thali was not very hot. Usually when you get fresh naan, it's too hot to touch, but not this naan. Everything arrived very fast which didn't make sense.
The food looked very sad. A huge thali plate that looked mostly empty.
Maybe their main chef wasn't there on a Sunday night, but that's really not an excuse to serve bad food.
I'm being very generous giving 3 stars for the food. Will definitely not go back anytime soon.
Tandoori chicken was absolutely amazing! Delicious combo nonetheless. Service was super quick & professional. Totally recommended! Also budget friendly with great taste!
Best chicken biryani I ever had at a restaurant in Montreal. They are quick & always has lots of chicken pieces. Will come back to dine at your place very soon.
Lovely people & great service. As a vegetarian I loved the soya tikka masala. Excellent masala chai. My conjoint loved the biriyani chicken. Also very affordable & good environment for kids.
Excellent Indian restaurant, I have tried the majority of the items on the menu. Their hot chicken madras, daal makani, chicken tika & byriani are excellent. The service is fast & good, their prices are fair with good sized portions.
I usually order chicken biryani from them. I can approve there chicken biryani is probably one of the best i had in montreal & please keep it the same as it is now i hope.

I'm pretty much addicted to their Apollo Fish & Chicken Biryani, & I get these so often that I'm losing faith in my own recipes that I developed over the years. Great restaurant if you love food. Not so great if you want confidence as a cook because they offer serious competition. 💛💛💛
Try their Apollo Fish & thank me later.
If you're looking for amazing Indian food, this place is a must-visit! The naan is hands down the best I've ever had, perfectly soft & flavorful. Their butter chicken is equally delicious, rich & creamy with just the right balance of spices. The restaurant itself is a lovely, quiet, & cozy spot, making it the perfect place for a relaxing meal. Plus, the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine!
The foods are not flavorful as they should. Also, the portions are smaller than other places in the city. We took chicken tikka masala, beef karahi, & shahi, they weren't flavorful at all & they tasted the same!

The aroma in the air hits you even before you enter the restaurant, gets your mouth watering by the get go. Ordered Chicken Magistick as an appetizer, which was yummy with its tasty sauce. & for mains had the Chicken Madras with Naan & Garlic rice. The flavors hit the right spots & makes you crave for more. To wrap it up with something sweet, a glass of Mango Lassi does the trick. Overall great food, service & ambience. Cheers to the team. Keep up the good work.
Ordered shahi paneer, chicken tikka masala & garlic naan. Food was really delicious & authentic indian flavors. I opted for spicy levels to be'HOT' & it was really good. Naans were also soft & warm. Must visit again.
I used to love this place, but they have been consistently raising their prices & cutting their portions for the past 2 years. Last night I ordered a takeout butter chicken combo & they barely gave me any butter chicken & didn't include a pakora in the combo as they have for the past few years. Very disappointed because it used to be great value.
