Overall, Rendez-vous Bistro earns high marks for authentic Indian flavors, generous portions, and attentive service, with many reviewers calling it a standout in Montreal and praising bold spices, rich gravies, and polished presentations.

We got chicken tikka masala, buttered chicken, & Malabar shrimp curry. It was all delicious. The tikka masala was creamy & seasoned to perfection. We also got garlic & butter naan which was warm & tasty. My only complaint was that the dishes did not come with rice, it had to be ordered separately. Im glad the person that took our order asked if we wanted rice. Overall & amazing experience & I definitely will be coming back.

I am so happy to have found this place. The food is so delicious & the presentation of the dishes is very well done. We were delighted from beginning to end! Can't wait to come here again & try other dishes. My spouse had the Butter Chicken & he kept saying the chicken itself was very good (a lot of places use only chicken breast). I am vegetarian myself so I asked for a recommendation & got the Paneer Methi Chaman, can't emphasize enough how delicious it was!

Best Indian restaurant in Montreal, very near to downtown. Best restaurant for Canadians too, who like to try Indian food, as they prepare all the dishes Indian style & also with canadian spice level. My personal favourite is Paneer Lababdar. All their cocktails & mocktails are nice. Friendly staff & pricing is economical.

Food was delicious & arrived fast. However, the dishes were generally very oily, & the naan was overly greasy. Great service.

Fantastic place with very good customer service. The waiters helped alot & described the dishes to us. The mutton dish was very good & had big chunks of tender lamb meat, which is sure to make you full. The price is reasonable for how much it fills you up.

I went there with my friends & I tried Dal Makhni with Garlic naan, Dahi kebab, Sofiyana paneer, chaat paapdi. Ambience was great. Every single dish was among one of the best Indian dishes I have tried in Canada. Coming from New Delhi I can confidently say that everything was authentic. The chef is very humble & passionate for his work. I had a long conversation with him about his process. 10/10

We went here by seeing their Instagram profile. Went with high expectations as it has good ratings & many food bloggers review it. Food is good, not that bad. Some dishes were not as per the Instagram pictures. But for Montreal Standard of Indian food, one should definitely try this place. Avoid going on weekends rush hours as their quality & service might get affected.

This was my fifth visit to Rendez-vous Bistro, & it never disappoints! I first visited when it had just opened for an office party with over 20 people. Despite the restaurant being on the smaller side, it didn't feel cramped at all, & the staff handled the large group with ease & dedication. As a non-vegetarian, I have tried almost all of their non-veg starters, & each one has been out of this world! The flavors are simply exquisite. From the mains, dishes like goat curry, butter chicken, & palak chicken have consistently stood out - perfectly spiced & absolutely delicious. This time, I went with a few vegetarian friends & sampled most of their veg options. The dahi kebab & veg manchurian starters were just amazing, & in the mains, the brinjal curry & paneer butter masala were mouth-watering. The balance of flavors was spot on. The wait staff, as always, were extremely accommodating & attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. This is a must-visit place for Indian food lovers, & I will definitely be returning for more!

Amazing amazing indian restaurant (I've tasted a lot & this is among my top 3 in Montreal). It's a perfect spot for dates but also a night out with friends & family. You can modify the level of spiciness to full enjoy the beautiful aroma of each dishes. I LOVE the paneer dishes & their naans. If you love mutton, go with this dish : kashmiri mutton rista. If you love chicken, go with this dish : tangri kebab & dum chicken biryani.

Just got back from a great visit to Montreal & had a really wonderful meal at Rendez-vous Bistro. Roshan(sp?) was extremely courteous & sat us quickly at a table under the awning outside despite us arriving 15 minutes early. He was a truly excellent server who took clearly took pride in the excellent kitchen. The meal was fantastic! Best Naan we have ever had & the dishes were beautiful & tasted awesome. Tucking under the protection of the awning with the twinkling lights while the rain came enjoying a beautiful meal was what we were hoping for & luckily found at Rendez-vous! We'll be back again soon!

Came to Montreal for the Labour Day long weekend with my father & family. My father is a Jain (eats food without potatoes onions & garlic). We spoke to chef to see if he could accommodate our request. The chef came to our table personally giving us a variety of options. The food was super fresh with exact spices & tasted delicious. We decided to return to the place again the next evening. The chef made us veg Nazami handi , veg pulav & dahi papdi chat as jain options & believe me every item was a 100/100. The next day he made us mix veg gravy which was also super yum. We tried their regular food (nonjain) & everything was delicious. I will surely recommend this place for both Jain & regular Indian food. Will surely return every time I visit Montreal. Do not forget to try their pan kulfi it's their highlight in desserts. A big thank you to the chef Mr.Chakradheer for custom making our dishes & providing so much to us during this trip.

Best Indian food in Montreal. The food & the service is incredible. Our server Shivam was very kind & would often come to make sure we were satisfied with our dishes. Would highly recommend!

We ordered Fish Amritsari , Chicken Tikka masala & Methi malai Murgh. All the 3 dishes were excellent & authentic with no color added & quantity was good. The chicken dum biryani was amazing & served in cute serving bowls. Butter Naan were very soft & my son loved them as its his favourite . The manager Shivam who was serving us was extremely courteous & welcoming. It's a very good place for families & very reasonably priced.

Very oily & rich food. Flavours are decent. Quality can be improved. Waiting staff is very hospitable & friendly. However food not so great. Visited the second time to try more dishes incase we ordered the wrong things the first time, & came back disappointed both the times.

We randomly found this spot & decided to check it out. We were both hesitant as Indian restaurants can be a hit or miss despite reviews. We were quickly seated by a smiling server. Once seated the menus came quick & the order taken promptly. We waited over an hour for the food. In asking the server he told us it was due to one of the dishes we ordered that takes time. Since we weren't in a rush this was okay however it would be good to advise your clients in the future. Once the food arrived, everything was delicious! Definitely exceeded our expectations. Why the 4 stars? Because one can judge a restaurant's hygiene by their washrooms & oh my!! That was a little off putting. Had I visited the washroom before eating I might not have stayed. 🤢

The best Indian food I've had. Creative & very flavorful takes on dishes I've been eating for years. Server suggested something I've never heard of, & it was phenomenal - merg methi malai. Garlic naan was also delicious.

A very nice welcome & advice on gluten-free dishes. The mango lassi is tasty! Took de Dahl & loved how it was spiced, not a flat taste.
