Food were tasty! Service was nice! The waitress Anmol was really friendly! Though, the lighting could be better. Sometime flickers. But I recommend the food!
Unexpected, quaint restaurant with delicious food & wonderful service. Great for an afternoon lunch. We had a lovely time & will be back. Thank you Anmol!
When I went girl ask for orders then she left but not came back I wait almost 15 minutes.you should respect the customer worst service ever.You should prioritize customer that is way you are working.
we have ordered $180 worth of tasty veg indian food. food was very very rough. we have ordered chole chana, paneer tikka masala, kadhai paneer.
taste was so poor. only thing which was good is the tava roti, lassi.
definitely all the reviews are fake. we have tried to remake the same sabji to the chef, but the chef was just playing the games.
sometimes its not about the money its about the quality of food. we went their after reading the reviews online. but it was a waste of time & didnt enjoyed our visit to Montreal from toronto fully due to poor taste. i hope the chef will cooperate with the server.
All of the server were very cooperative but not the chef .

We visited first time here . Everything was great, & girl who served us was very friendly & kind. We truly enjoyed our meal & left feeling on cloud nine. Overall,it was fantastic experience 😋
This was my first time visiting Montreal. A friend recommended this restaurant to me, & I'm so glad they did. I was really hungry & craving a proper Indian breakfast. I arrived around 2 PM, & although breakfast hours were likely over, the team kindly agreed to serve me a full Indian breakfast along with some delicious Desi chai.
The food was absolutely amazing & tasted incredibly fresh. A special shout-out to Anmol, one of the crew members, for her outstanding service. Her warm & thoughtful approach to dealing with customers truly stood out-she went out of her way to accommodate what I needed.
If I ever find myself back in Montreal, I will definitely return here. Thank you for the lovely experience!
