We had a reservation at 7:30 p.m. on a Friday, but they were already missing four menu items & two cocktails. When we ordered, they informed us that the fried shrimp was no longer available, even though it seemed like all the food was frozen, like the chewy calamari. The green beans tasted like gasoline or propane. The bathroom felt like an old nightclub at 3 a.m., with a slippery floor & missing toilet seats, right next to the kitchen. Everything felt dirty. We wouldn't recommend this place. The place was loud due to the large industrial fan, as there was no air conditioning, & it felt quite hot inside.
Kind patient service, delicious food, communication & nice environment. I feel the higher price for the meal is justified as it does taste premium with servers to match. I definitely would come again.
I had the lamb spring roll which tastes fine with delicious sauces but wouldn't recommend. It is much too hard & not as tasty as all other food that was great.
It would have been nice to have A/C in the place instead of the loud fan, but perhaps I'm being too particular at this point. Either way, love this place.
This place is outstanding. Visiting from Boston. May have converted my husband & sister to Indian food. The tikka (can't remember the rest of the name-it was a vegetarian small plate) was scrumptious. Biryana was wonderful as well. The hostess was so warm & lovely. Highly recommend.
SUCH WASTE OF MONEY
First of all nobody answers the call , i have called many times nobody respond. On the top of that, we ordered from ubereats Chicken lolipop & schezwan noodles but what we recieved we didnt expected.
Last time we ordered Chicken lolipop we recieved 6 pieces but now it was only 4 pieces with very minimal meat on it & with such sweetness, what are we gonna eat when there is no meat on it. I dont know what did they thought while sending it.
Talking about the noodles very very less quantity, taste was okay but quantity didnt match the price at all.
On the top, they provide you food in a paperbox with no butterpaper on the bottom, boxes got so oily until it reached us. We dont even want to eat it as now its giving a smell like paper.
I ordered veg noodles the quantity was to low than expected & chicken lollipop it was just 4 pieces with no chicken for 15$ something
I don't recommend this place not worth for 34$ for a small bowl of noodles & 4piece of bone which has almost no meat
Skip this place's
Always impressed by their menu & drinks that change seasonally! Their indochinese cuisine is truly a first in the city & the staff is welcoming & professional, highly recommend.
Visiting Montreal & a colleague brought me here . Great cocktails & I had the super spicy fish Apollo & fried rice ...best meal I've had in a while. Highly recommend
Terrible service.
We booked a table for 8, arrived but there was no staff?? We had to wait 10mn before someone showed up to show our seats!?
We got the first 2 plates after 45mn, then 10mn later 2 others & so on. So we each had to eat alone while others waited, otherwise it would have turned cold.
No excuse, no explanation, nothing.
Food was nice, but a lot of dishes indicated one out of three for spiciness, when it was really really spicy. Then another plate that was 3 out of 3, was spicy, but not much more. It would be nice to follow the spiciness menu indications.
Also, we had two kids (toddlers), they got their meal after 4 adults at our table. They were starving after more than an hour of wait.
Then, a table of four arrived (1h after us), & got their plate before our last ones. Felt like a joke.
Music was way too loud, we asked to lower it a bit, but it was not enough.
