We went here for brunch & absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, well-seasoned, & felt truly authentic. Great quality & a very satisfying experience overall.

We enjoyed two different, perfectly spiced biryanis & their signature Kulcha & bhatura with paneer tikka naan bomb
For the uninitiated, the kulcha, as I understand, is a traditional, Indian flatbread from the Punjab region. It's cooked in a tandoor, often stuffed with potato or gobhi, & served buttery hot.
The portions are generous we left completely stuffed! Beyond the great food, kamal was incredibly friendly, welcoming, & attentive, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
We had an amazing experience today, it was our friends birthday & we have always loved being here & the location at lasalle as well. We were served by Parneet. Also special thanks to the manager on duty for taking our feedback sincerely & making sure we were happy. Thanku so much for the visit.

I'm a huge fan of this place! It truly captures my culture & offers the closest fine dining Indian restaurant experience in Montreal. The food is always amazing-this time
I've never had a better chicken tikka , fish pakora paneer butter masala & naan. than this,''This is absolutely delicious,''The meal was delicious, with a tangy, flavorful sauce'.
The presentation is phenomenal!''It was a work of art on the plate' & it served by Kamal was so good l
Really bad experience every time ,once It was a birthday party , & we ordered chilly chicken on call for 15 people but when we opened it in the party it was not the chilly chicken it was cheese chilly. That means, we are ordering something but they are giving us something else this is not fair & when we went there back , they did not accept their mistake.
