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.

It is the best Indian food restaurant here. We felt a home-like taste. Their Chicken Biryani was unbelievably good. Kheer is also a must-try-perfectly cooked & bursting with flavors.
Thanks team Mumbai Masala!! The food was AMAZING! Special mention from my uncle for the Special Chicken Biryani. It was definitely a topic of discussion till the next day in our home. Thank you for an incredible evening once again.

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.
This is our go-to spot for group dinners. We usually order a mix of vegetarian & non-veg items, & everything from the dal makhani to the chicken curry-feels fresh & home style. You never feel heavy after eating here.
We discovered this gem late into our trip & were blown away! The tandoori roti, naan, chicken jalfrezi, chicken dopyaza, chilli chicken & tandoori leg were all bursting with authentic flavour. The service was excellent, portions were generous, & the pricing was incredibly reasonable for the quality.
Highly recommended if you're in Montreal - don't miss out on this place!
Great place! This isn't my first time here, & as always, the experience is excellent. The restaurant is clean & offers a calm & pleasant atmosphere (with music). The servers are kind, professional, & take the time to properly attend to customers, which is greatly appreciated. As for the food, the dishes are simply delicious! I particularly enjoyed the Rogan Josh, perfectly spiced, as well as the Chicken Dopyaza, tender & flavorful. The naans were excellent, & the rice pairs perfectly with each dish. A place I highly recommend!

Great small & cozy Indian restaurant in downtown. The service was helpful & attentive. The menu was large & interesting ( options as well as traditional Indian from a variety of different regional options). Everything we ordered was exceptional. We especially enjoyed the tandoori chicken (the best I've had) & an Indian onion rings plate (I don't recall the name). The garlic naan was also very tasty. pH
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!
Not sure why there are so many bad ratings. Over the past few months, I've repeatedly ordered the briyani & chicken curry, sometimes by ubereats & sometimes in person pick up. For me, this place does it best. Best Indian food in Montreal. They even leave little chocolates with the package. Plus they stay open well into the night. Ten stars, I don't go to any of the larger, more famous restaurants. This place got me
Had an absolutely wonderful time here for my friend's birthday party. Their spicy chicken biryani was a revelation, Packed with flavours. They made our day special.

We always end up here with my friends for their special chicken biryani. It is delicious with generous portions. I recommend this restaurant if you’re craving some authentic Indian chicken biryani.
I took my girlfriend & her friends for dinner, & they were beyond impressed. She couldn’t stop raving about the dal tadka, & we loved the tandoori chicken. The spices were just right. A perfect place for a authentic indian meal!
Variety of Indian food. Both veg & non veg options were pretty good. Chicken biryani was good but a bit on the spicier side. A must try if you are looking for good Indian food.
