Stopped by due to a strong craving for Indian food. Since we're new to the city, finding parking was our only initial concern. We ordered chicken & methi paneer, & both dishes were really good. The breads were well baked & nicely soft.
The only downside was that no side appetizers like papad or vinegar onions were served with the meal, which we usually expect. Also, the server didn't seem very welcoming or engaging, which made us hesitant to ask questions or seek recommendations.
We went there for our anniversary dinner . The place was good , less crowded & less noise.
The food -
Dahi kebab- 10/10.
Tusli paneer-3/10 - paneer was hard & there was barely any seasoning in it.
Mushroom matar-4/10 --onions undercooked, less mushrooms.
Gulab jamun- was served warm & delicious.
The drinks were okay
The service was quick but the food was a little disappointing -not worth the hype
The spicy cocktail I got was one of my favourite cocktails ever, sweet & spicy & tasted delicious!! The paneer appetizer we got was 100% my favourite, the flavours were so amazing I would come back just for that! The naan & paneer dishes we got were also super good, the white one was a bit sweet for what I'd typically like but I think it's normal for that dish & I wanted to try something different. Will definitely come again, great for vegetarians!
Amazing food & great service! We ordered the Tulsi Paneer Tikka, Dahi ke kebab, Paneer Lababdar, & Dal Makhani. Everything was cooked to perfection, especially the Garlic Naan. If you're looking for authentic Indian flavors, this is the place to go!
Un des meilleurs restaurant indien de ma vie. Nous avons mangés des plats végétariens (dahl, paneer, riz, naan Philadelphia ail, lassi salé). Les saveurs étaient sublimes. Les quantités sont très généreuses. Nous sommes repartis avec des doggybag.
Une très belle découverte, je vous le recommande !

Food was so delicious. Must recommended dish for vegetarians who love paneer would be Kolhapuri Paneer which has accurate spices & flavourful gravy. Also, big applause to Shaurya who is really helpful, polite & generous.
The food is delicious, I would totally recommend Paneer lababdar to all the people looking to explore vegetarian indian dishes. The service is prompt & I didn't have to wait too long for food.
We visited this place after seeing the 4.8-star rating & had high expectations. To start with the positives-?the naans were good, & the soaf paneer tikka were tasty. The gulab jamun was decent as well.
However, the overall experience with the veg thali was quite disappointing, especially considering its $75 price point. The thali included 4-5 curries along with dal & two types of naan, but the curries did not taste fresh or comforting. Within a few hours, both of us felt heavy & bloated, which made us question the quality of the oil or the freshness of the food. Even as I write this review nearly seven hours later, the taste of the curries & rasmalai still lingers unpleasantly.
The papdi chat was served very cold, which took away from the experience. At this quality level, I wouldn't consider trying the thali again even if it were priced at $10.
To the owners-this place isn't presented as fine dining, yet the pricing suggests otherwise. I would genuinely encourage you to try other Indian restaurants in the area to understand the balance of quality, freshness, & pricing that customers expect.
I sincerely hope the focus shifts toward using fresher ingredients & offering dishes that feel more nourishing & worth the premium you're charging.
Being an Indian & a foodie, I am always looking for authentic Indian restaurants, & this one definitely made it to one of my favs. I was surprised to see dishes like Laal Maas & Gatta Curry on the menu!!! Kudos to the owner for the bold move of adding authentic Rajasthani cuisine in the menu!
I ordered
dahi kebab = soft inside, crispy outside, perfect chutneys on the side. Melts in the mouth!
Basil Chicken tikka= soft & juicy with the perfect blend of basil & spices.
Laal Maas= Indian level spicy so be careful! If you can handle the heat you need to try this dish! Will definitely go back for it!
Panner methi churma = rich sauce, soft paneer, perfect amount of methi!
Paan kulfi = MUST TRY!!!! This made me nostalgic & brought me back to India! The flavors of meetha paan are perfect in this kulfi!!!
Rendezvous is my go to Indian restaurant. They truly redefine the Indian cuisine by bringing dishes from India culturally rich & not easily found in many restaurants.
Tried the Rajasthani butter milk & panner methi chaman. Really loved the paneer methi chaman to order it again next time but will try more dishes here next time.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Rendez Vous Bistro! Right from the moment I walked in, the way they greeted me was exceptional - truly a real Maharaja-style service that made me feel valued & welcomed.
For starters, I tried the dahi kebab, which was perfectly crisp on the outside & soft, flavorful inside. For the main course, I ordered paneer kolhapuri along with turbo naan, garlic naan, & lachha paratha-each one was fresh, soft, & paired beautifully with the rich, spicy curry. To complement the meal, the mango lassi was refreshing & absolutely delightful.
Everything I ordered was simply awesome, both in taste & presentation. The service throughout was top-notch; the staff was attentive, polite, & went above & beyond to make the dining experience memorable.
Overall, Rendez Vous Bistro is a gem! Exceptional hospitality, amazing food, & the kind of service that keeps you coming back. Highly recommended!
Best Indian Restaurant in Montreal - A True Royal Rendezvous!
Hands down, Rendez-vous Bistro is the best Indian restaurant I've experienced in Montreal & possibly in all of Canada. The moment I stepped in, I could feel something special about the place. What I didn't expect was that the chef & owner hails from the royal family of Bilaspur, Rajasthan, the very same state where I was born. It was like a beautiful cultural connection unfolding on my plate.
& here's the twist: the server had the same name as me! Shaurya was absolutely phenomenal, guiding me through the menu like a true connoisseur.
I ordered a LOT & loved all of these:
Dahi ke Kebab - unlike any I've had before; crisp outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside.
Laal Maas - fiery, bold, & deeply authentic. This one took me straight back to Rajasthan.
Paneer Lababdar - rich, creamy, & loaded with flavor.
Dal Makhni - slow-cooked perfection. Easily one of the best I've tasted.
Methi Chicken - aromatic & unique, with a lovely hint of bitterness from the fenugreek.
& to end on a sweet high - the Kesar Pista Kulfi! Served with such elegance & bursting with rich saffron & pistachio flavor. A royal dessert that looked & tasted like luxury.
Every dish had a soul, a story, & a serious amount of flavor. This place doesn't just serve Indian food it redefines it. Montreal, consider yourself lucky to have this gem. & if you're from Rajasthan like me, you'll feel right at home.
Felt Royal 👑 having that royal food!
Awesome service by Roshan . We had Gutta curry & Paneer kolhapuri. Couldn't ask for anything better . The best Indian restaurant in Plateau area & in Montreal.
Undoubtedly the best Indian food I ever had . Hats off to Roshan for his awesome service. The paneer was so soft that even in India I never got this experience. Truly amazing experience. Must visit
