New Royal India earns broad praise for flavorful staples such as samosas, garlic naan and butter chicken, along with friendly, helpful service, generous portions and reasonable prices, leading many to call it a hidden gem and the best Indian food in the west island; it is often described as a reliable takeout option with little wait, though a few dishes vary in quality and some items like the chicken tikka masala or naan may not meet all expectations, yet the overall impression is positive and many reviewers say they will return.
New Royal India is usually my favourite Indian restaurant. It is always amazing.
However, last time we ordered something was different.
First of all, the onion bhaji were hard as rocks, nearly broke our teeth.
The byriani was not made with basmati rice (despite it clearly saying basmati on the menu).
Best samosas ever! The service is always kind & friendly. Their garlic naan & butter chicken are incredible as well. This has been my go-to Indian takeout spot for the past two years!

Wow. Delicious. I have been to many Indian restaurants & this was absolutely the best. Food was delicious. Service was friendly & very helpful (I ask a lot of questions). Portion were generous. Will definitely make this place a regular spot from now on.

The food is DELICIOUS!! Went for a birthday party so we got to taste a few things from the menu- the samosas, the butter chicken, the paneer bites, incredible. The staff was super kind & friendly, I will definitely come back. Best Indian food I've had in Montreal yet- in terms of variety, taste, staff being so considerate.
This place is favourite place in Montréal In Montréal there is Not so many Indian restaurant as good as India but this restaurant is one of greatest restaurants in Montréal there food is so good there service is also so good also the owners are like friend I have try there almost every food every the food taste is good
Best Indian place I've ever eaten at!! We fell on that gem by hazard one day & I have not been able to eat at another Indian restaurant ever since as they can't compare. It's a family restaurant, everything is fresh & cooked WITH LOVE & let's not forget that the portions are very generous at a very reasonable price! The owners are always friendly & super welcoming! It's a must, everyone needs to try this little gem 🤩

Hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. I have had the opportunity to try this restaurant on two separate gatherings with friends. First of all, the staff & the owners are super friendly & accommodating. They closed down the restaurant just for our group to celebrate a birthday. The food was beyond delicious especially their crispy mushrooms, fish pakoras, & butter chicken. I hate daal, but I went for a second bowl here. It's Indian home-style cooking & in my opinion top 5 Indian restaurant in the city. Also, it's a BYOW restaurant.
By far the best Indian food in all of Montreal. It's reasonably priced & I've never been disappointed by anything on the menu. The Chicken Tikka is spicy but subtle & warm & deliberate. The rice is fluffy & as perfect as Basmatti can ever be cooked. The samosas are mildly greasy which is my only small gripe but the flavor makes you forget all about the extra greese. 100% recommendation from this professional chef. The people that gave bad reviews wouldn't know good Indian food from frozen pizza. Many are laughable in fact. People have no idea what goes into running a restaurant & creating delicious food they just expect it to appear magically. This family knows great Indian food & they will share that with you. Ignore the keyboard warriors & soft core wannabe critics. Trust your taste buds & try this place.
