Kurshanth has created something truly special here. This is hands-down the best Indian food I've found in Canada. The flavors are authentic, & the service is incredibly welcoming. You can see Kurshanth's passion in every dish served. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves a really great meal!
You guys are changing level of Indian food in montreal & neighbourhood. I am so picky about India food & I have been mostly disappointed everywhere else. Som had promising starts but later disappointed.
But I tasted about 5-6 items from your menu in 2 different occasions & guys they were amazing. Please continue to deliver it as you are doing right now.
Wow, noodle burger, thali, black daal, paneer.
Everything is great, just a small advise. Please cut the naan when giving for takeout.
I love your food ❤?
Thanks for opening a location in Laval ❤?
Your staff at queen st-Mary was brilliant too ❤?
So many things to say but will save it for future.

This location recently opened & I decided to give it a try with my wife. After making our order we patiently waited 30 mins. Looking around at other tables we noticed that NO ONE had food besides a few kids. & I mean no one in the whole restaurant. I noticed two tables got up & left but decided to wait.
At 1 hour we finally got our samosas. They looked great & tasted good but were warm, slightly cold even. Another half hour later we got our tikka paneer. These were hot & tasted good.
After our appetizers a waiter came to tell us that they had no cooked rice & it would be another 30 mins. Okay we swapped for naan no problem. Rest of the food came 45 mins later anyway so there was no point in telling us this. Also the butter chicken came with 5 small chunks in the largest bowl. Basically just sauce. I took the sauce home to add some chicken the next day.
So an over 2hr visit for service. Why? I overheard one angry customer speaking to the owner & hearing that the gas or stoves weren't working!
I mean guys just tell everyone & they would more than likely be accommodating.
On a good note they didn't charge me correctly & even when I insisted it was wrong they kept insisting it was correct.
We were happy to see a new Indian restaurant open nearby & were excited to try it. Unfortunately, our experience was mixed. The pakoras were dry, the butter chicken was very oily & didn't taste like traditional butter chicken, & the lamb dish had very little lamb.
The chaat papri was good & was the dish we enjoyed the most. Since the restaurant is new, we hope things improve with time
