Overall, the restaurant is seen as a top option for Indian and Punjabi flavors in Montreal, delivering an experience that blends traditional taste with contemporary vibes, while some guests suggest minor improvements in consistency and service speed.
No doubt they used to be good back in days..but they absolute suck now & focus too much on marketing & labeling rather than quality & quantity…its about time they learn its not macdo or tims
very good traditional Indian food, typical Indian style the seasoning is perfect. I order the spicy lamb butter chicken & masala chicken they are perfectly matches my requirement.I want to give it all five stars but we have fly within the restaurant so I have to reduce one star for the atmosphere, after all its still decent.

As we ordered different items like panner butter masala with naan & jeera rice all were outstanding with good spice level. Along with exceptional service.

Really disappointed with the quality of service getting lately, i love the food & bring all of my guests here since the day restaurant opened, but lately they take alteast 1 hour to prepare order, & if i order it via uber eats or online they always mess up my order. & this happened multiple times.
Not sure if there is a staffing issue but i live nearby & the quality of food is good but this is really disheartening when i have to adjust my schedule just because of their lack of service.
