Amazing Indian vegetarian delights. Their curries, dals, aloo Gobi, Channa masala with rice & naan is so flavourful, glorious & delicious. Usually I get some vegetable pakora & samosas to go. All their Indian sweets- desserts are sweet & tasty also. My fave are the coconut dusted gulab Jamun, barfi & Kalakand. A simple establishment. They take cash only. If Indian spices are to your liking you shan't be disappointed.
I've gone here many times over the years & it was always delicious but I don't know if it's because of covid but the quality's gone down the drain ever since. Personally I'm not one to write negative reviews but this place did not meet my expectations like the other years. I went there for 10 years but unfortunately I won't be a returning customer. Maybe if you change your quality/standards
The atmosphere was very welcoming & the kind gentleman serving & the one on the counter made the experience for me memorable. :) I read the negative reviews before going there, but found the place the exact opposite. The food was served piping hot with delicious condiments & although the Chai was not what I'm used to, it was fragrant & comforting. 4 samosas + Aloo Paratha + Chai for $10. What more could one want in this economy. Definitely worth a visit if you're a desi feeling homesick. ❤️
Very disappointing. We ordered naans (each costing $1.75) hoping that they would be freshly made like at any Indian restaurant. Turns out that they just heat up the naans that you get in a packet at any store & send it across. Such a bad experience when you have guests over & serve them the store brought stuff.
Where else can you find really good 2 pieces of Indian samosa with a tangy chutney that takes you back to Indian food street for $2 in Montreal? I will go there just to have their Samosa, very pocket friendly place but just be aware that it is a Cash only place. We also had Chhola Bhatura & Onion Kulcha, found the chhola bland but at the price point this is an amazing place & must try if you are craving Indian snack
