We often come here, & the food never disappoints. The malai chaap & chana puri are our absolute favorites - always fresh & full of flavor. A special mention to Anmol as well for being so sweet & welcoming. The service was quick, & the food arrived fresh & right on time. Highly recommend!

Yeah man I come here almost bi-weekly & it's like my most frequent place to eat too. I love their Noodle Burgers & they have a variety of diff cuisines to try from. Absolutely recommend this place.
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!
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!
