We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Ajit Palace! I took my brother-in-law & a group of guests , & everyone was blown away. It is a beautiful family-run business-the owner, his son, & his daughter were all working hard, taking orders, & serving customers with genuine smiles. The family atmosphere made the restaurant feel incredibly welcoming & pleasant. Most importantly, the food was spectacular. We started with fantastic appetizers, & the main course was next-level. Their butter chicken is incredibly rich & flavorful, especially when paired with their fresh, hot naan. Every single one of my invitees thoroughly enjoyed their meal & said the food here is much better than other places they've eaten. We will definitely be back!
Highly recommend their Shahi Paneer! Creamy, not too spicy & with a touch of sweetness. Excellent with rice & butter naan bread! I will make sure to come back for more :)
Everything was phenomenal. We had the samosa chaat, garlic & regular naan, salad & the chicken Karachi & lamb curry. Lamb was melt in your mouth, all the flavors of all the food were just top notch. Definitely worth the drive.

Best indian food in the area! We got the samosas, butter chicken, chicken korma, & chicken tikka masala, with rice & garlic naan. Everything felt very authentic & delicious! Highly recommend!
Work in the area & heard good things so decided to try for myself at lunch.
The inside ambiance are nothing special, a little dark & dated, but warm & also authentic. Upon entering you are pretty quickly greeted & welcomed warmly by the staff & you can pick your own table.
After speaking with the waitress I decided to go with veggie samosas & the butter chicken thali plate. I was feeling ambitious.
I thought the samosas were delicious. The are extremely heartly, dense with filling & pretty heavy in a good of of well seasoned & rich but 2 before a main is a lot & I can eat.
Now the main event was also excellent. Thalli plate comes with assortment of small portions of butter chicken, curry , papadam, naan, rice, a tandori chicken leg & a little salad. Everything was delicious, the tandori chicken in particular stood out for me but the naan & butter chicken was great as well. They can lose the salad but it doesnt hurt.
Overall it came pretty quickly, was fresh , tasty, great portion sizes & variety. I was happy with service, food & reasonable price. Ill be back.
Cosy restaurant in Verdun on the northwest corner of 3rd Avenue & Verdun Avenue. Delicious cuisine. I had the Chicken Curry Thali. Excellent. Naan was super too. Friendly service & relaxed atmosphere. Lots of tempting appetizers & dishes on the menu. I am looking forward to trying their Chicken Vindaloo. I highly recommend this place.
Enfin un bon restaurant indien à Verdun, qui peut rivaliser avec les meilleurs restos de Parc-Ex. Pour de bons samosas, des thalis végé ou non-végé, c'est la place. De plus, leur poulet au beurre est délicieux. L'ambiance est toutefois un peu ordinaire : peu d'éclairage, pas de musique, déco quelconque. Disons que nous n'y allons pas pour cela, mais bien pour tremper notre pain naan dans leur délicieuse sauce à poulet au beurre.
