The foundation of Rasoï is built on three key elements: fresh high-quality ingredients, traditional Indian cuisine, a cozy & warm ambiance and a friendly staff that will make you feel like you are part of the family.
Rasoï puts a lot of emphasis on using the highest quality meats, seafood, vegetables and fruits, and creating tantalizing flavors using traditional family recipes. Rasoï takes you to India by creating an ambiance full of bright colours, mouth-watering aromas, and a vibrant energy. Our staff will always make you feel at home and part of the family with our friendly service and attention to detail in order to provide you with the best dining experience.
Rasoï comes across in reviews as a stylish Indian dining spot where the food is frequently described as flavorful, fresh, and richly seasoned, with butter chicken praised for its creaminess and a versatile menu that lets diners switch protein for shrimp, paneer, or chicken. Naan, biryani, tandoor items, and curries are highlighted for great taste and solid presentation, while several comments note enjoyable extras like a not-too-loud atmosphere and friendly, attentive service that makes guests feel welcome. The restaurant is also appreciated for its reasonable prices, attractive decor, and the chance to share a variety of small plates or select hearty main dishes, making it a good option for both intimate meals and groupings. A few reviews mention occasional inconsistencies in spice balance or ambiance, but the overall impression centers on delicious food, approachable service, and a positive dining experience at Rasoï.
I don't usually write long reviews, but Rasoi honestly deserves it. From the moment we walked in, it just felt welcoming. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles, & there was this amazing aroma of spices in the air that instantly made us excited for the meal.
We started with a few appetizers, & everything tasted fresh & full of flavor. The butter chicken was easily one of the best I've had - rich, creamy, & perfectly spiced without being overwhelming. The biryani was fragrant & comforting, with tender meat & beautifully cooked rice. & the garlic naan? Warm, soft, & impossible to stop eating. Every dish felt like it was made with care & attention.
What really stood out to me was the balance of flavors. Nothing felt rushed or overly heavy - just authentic, home-style Indian food done right. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Even the presentation was lovely without being over-the-top.
The service made the experience even better. Our server was friendly, patient, & happy to answer questions & give recommendations. We never felt rushed, & the whole evening just flowed naturally.
Rasoi isn't just a place to eat - it's a place you go to enjoy good food, good company, & a warm atmosphere. It felt comforting & special at the same time. We left full, happy, & already planning our next visit.
Great food with authentic Indian flavors. Friendly staff, quick service, & a cozy atmosphere. Good portion sizes & reasonable prices. Definitely worth visiting again!
Amazing experience! The food was authentic & full of flavor, & the service from Harry was outstanding-friendly, attentive, & made us feel truly welcome. Highly recommend this restaurant!
One of the best Indian restaurants I've visited! The food was fresh, flavorful, & truly authentic. The service was excellent from harry he is very polite, attentive, & made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great food .
I had a date night with my wife & decided to finally try Rasoi, which we've passed by many time & always thought we should try it. We finally did, & it was not a disappointment! The atmosphere is very welcoming, authentic, & comfortable. I ordered chicken Korma, not feeling brave enough for the Vindaloo, which takes some courage. The curry was the best Indian meal I have ever had, & I love Indian food & enjoy it frequently. The service was excellent, & the food amazing, we ended having a really nice date night, which we don't have frequently enough as we have kids. It will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends!
Discovered "Rasoi" accidentally, & it turned out to be an absolute gem. The entire experience at Rasoi, from the ambiance to the food, decor, & music, was nothing short of amazing. The authenticity & the perfect balance of spiciness in Soya Malai Chaap, Dal Tadka, Cucumber Raita, & Gulab Jamun left a lasting impression on my taste buds.
However, what truly elevated our dining experience was the exceptional service provided by Hardik, the host at Rasoi. His recommendations were spot on, & his attentiveness made us feel truly valued as guests. Hardik is undoubtedly one of the best hosts I've had the pleasure of encountering in Montreal, & he is an invaluable asset to the restaurant.
Furthermore, Rasoi offers a private space for those special occasions & private parties, adding to its versatility. Even the restroom's decor reflects the attention to detail & commitment to creating a memorable atmosphere throughout the restaurant.
In summary, Rasoi is a hidden culinary gem in Montreal, & Hardik's exemplary service only enhances its allure. I highly recommend Rasoi for an authentic Indian dining experience & commend Hardik for his exceptional hospitality. This restaurant truly deserves a visit for a delightful & memorable experience.

We had a fabulous meal at Rasoi which is now under new management (family owned) since 7 months. The food is authentic Indian , portions are generous & there is a good choice of dishes. Very friendly staff, & nice atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
My wife & I went for dinner on her birthday at this new Indian restaurant on rue Notre-Dame West, just west of Atwater & had an amazing experience. The decor is authentic Indian & a must see while the ambiance & the food were all amazing. We had the cod fish sticks as an entrée, the curry Kabob & the sizzling tandori chicken with the trimmings & it was more than we could handle so we asked for a take-out container.
We will definitly go back with friends ...
