Amazing Indian restaurant in Verdun...a must try! They have a good selection. I really loved the butter chicken thali. Great service... highly recommend!!
Shortly visited a friend in Verdun & decided to get takeout from here. A very wise choice lmao. It was so good. I'm tempted to visit more just to get something from this place again. When I went to collect my order I had forgotten my card to pay & they happily waited for me to return. There was one lady who didn't speak English but quickly understood I didn't speak any other language & all went really well. Would recommend it if you're in the mood for it.

Best food best service. We were looking for that one Indian restaurant to have good tasteful food & we were just passing by Verdun & found this one. Since then we're back every weekend. The butter chicken is the best butter chicken I have tested in my whole life. My boyfriend had Jafralzi chicken & it's also so so so good.
Thank you to the young lady who always serves us with a smile, so kind ❤?
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.
La nourriture est indienne classique. Les épices sont bien présentes comme il se doit & les plats sont savoureux.
On peut apportez son vin/bière.
On y parle très peu le français. Désolant pour un commerce ayant pignon sur rue au Québec.
Le service est désorganisé. Les serveuses n'ont décidément pas fait leur cours à l'Institut de tourisme & d'hôtellerie.
Les prix sont bas.
Métro Verdun tout près ainsi qu'une station Bixi. La piste cyclable passe en face.
Je suis venu au moins cinquante fois & le thali est toujours excellent!
Palais d'Ajit is by far the best Indian restaurant in Verdun/Southwest Montreal. The food is always delicious & is reasonably priced compared to other Indian restaurants. It's a better place for delivery or pick up than to eat at in person though. The two times I've been in person it was super cold (AC on in winter...) & there is no ambiance to speak of - no music, plain decor (if any - can't recall). But the food is great, as evidenced by how packed the restaurant is all the time.

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.
Was very impressed by the quality of food served here. Who knew you could find good Indian food like this in Verdun? I've usually trekked all the way to Jean-Talon for this quality, but I will no longer! Very, very happy with their food & prices! :)
Delicious food, friendly service, reasonable prices & portions, what's not to love? Also, it's the only place in Verdun that sells dosa, which is a big plus in my book. We've been twice & everything has been wonderful. Lamb & chicken are tender & juicy, the samosas are stuffed to bursting, the rice is fluffy, the raita & mango chutney are the perfect accompaniment to many of the dishes & the mango kulfi dessert is the perfect way to end your meal.
Everything on the menu is mild to moderate (at least in my opinion) in terms of heat & spice; even dishes such as the jalfrezi & vindaloo, which should be very spicy, are only moderately so. I guess (like so many other restaurants) they've had too many customers tell them to "make it spicy" only to then complain that it was too hot, so they've had to keep everything in the mild to moderate range. Having said that, if you ask for your food to be very spicy, they'll be more than happy to kick up the flavor & the heat of whatever dish you've ordered.
