Overall Mumbai Masala earns high marks for authentic Indian flavors with dal makhani, shahi paneer, paneer madras, lachha paratha, naan and biryani described as fresh, flavorful and generously portioned at reasonable prices. The dining experience is warm and welcoming, with attentive service and a cozy vibe that stays strong even during busy periods. Reviewers frequently cite standout dishes such as dal makhani, biryani, rogan josh and garlic naan, while noting that butter chicken could be improved to better match Delhi standards. Delivery orders are praised for freshness and occasional thoughtful extras, and the restaurant is recommended for late night cravings, group dinners and celebrations. Many call Mumbai Masala a top Indian option in Montreal and a reliable go to for flavorful meals that feel homelike. Even with some noting pricing or ambience concerns, the overall consensus highlights consistent quality, generous portions and a pleasant atmosphere. It is described as a benchmark for Indian cuisine in the city.
I've both visited this restaurant & ordered delivery a few times (2-3 times so far), & it has never disappointed me. Their dal makhani is, in my opinion, the best I've had in Montreal, & the lachha paratha pairs with it perfectly. However, the butter chicken could use some improvement. Being from Delhi, where almost every restaurant serves excellent butter chicken, I found that this one didn't quite live up to those standards. That said, it's still a solid place overall, & I'd definitely recommend it for their dal makhani & parathas.

We ordered 14 butter chicken specials & 3 chicken briyani to share with their fresh tandoori garlic nan bread, everything was perfect & there was a good dessert selection on the menu at the end.
Absolutely fantastic experience! The flavors are authentic, & each dish is cooked to perfection. A must-visit for anyone craving real Indian cuisine. Highly recommend the butter chicken & naan - simply delicious!
One of the best Indian food I have tasted here & also not too expensive. The butter chicken curry with rice was delicious, & one serving is enough for two people.

The menu is so big & everything we ordered was amazing, but the Butter Chicken was definitely a standout. Definitely be my go to Indian restaurant from now on.
This Indian restaurant serves some of the best butter chicken I've ever had! I even ordered a takeaway for my mom, & she loved it just as much. Can't wait to bring her here soon!
Elegant yet relaxed setting, with excellent service, food, & drinks! We had a combination of Butter Chicken, Tandori Platter, Briyani & Naan breads. & all were deliciously prepared & presented. & the staff were very courteous & helpful.
Butter chicken with the rice & garlic naan is one of the best meals ive ever had, sooo good. Definitely really amazing food here; service is pretty slow sometimes, seems understaffed, but I put up with it because the butter chicken is to die fo

The negative reviews are from people who seem to have a personal vendetta against the restaurant. The food is actually very good & the employees are nice. We had butter chicken, mango chicken, & paneer madras with rice & warm garlic naan. Generous portions too.
