Cute spot! On Thursdays they have a dj & $1 oysters with champagne, which I highly recommended! The ambiance is really nice & enjoyable. The oysters were amazing. We also got the sharing board which came with 5 appetizers (shrimp, paneer, chicken, lamb chop, lamb balls) & a side of naan. If you want to try a few things this board is perfect for 2 people to share & honestly with that & the oysters I was full!
The shrimp were so good! Honestly I don't think I've ever had such tender shrimp. I love the green mint sauce served under the platter. I also tried paneer naan for the first time & it was very good, but I think I prefer the garlic naan. I did not try any cocktails, but they had some very interesting looking options, also $10 classic cocktails & select wines for the 5 a 7.
Service was good, the only thing is we were first sat with no menus for about 5 minutes, which I would prefer to be sat right away with the menus, but otherwise they were attentive to fill water glasses (it wasn't very busy). I couldn't tell if who sat us was going to be our waiter or just the host, there seemed to be a lot of staff seemingly doing everything, so it was a bit confusing who to order from at first.
Ambiance was great, really nice to have a dj but it wasn't too loud, so it was still possible to have a conversation inside without screaming (rare in Montreal).
I would definitely come back.
The food here was genuinely good, & you can tell a lot of thought goes into the menu. The $1 oyster special on Thursdays is a great deal & definitely worth trying. The cocktails & overall presentation were also on point.
The only downside for me was the atmosphere. It's a very chic, trendy spot, but it can feel a bit intimidating. Also, waiters were lost & kitchen was slow. I didn't find the owner particularly welcoming, which took away from the experience a little.
That said, if you're looking for good Indian food in a stylish setting & want to take advantage of the oyster special, it's worth checking out. Also expect to drop a bill!

This place has one of the most beautiful terraces in the old-port. The food is Indian & french fusion so you will find great dishes like steak 🥩, oysters 🦪 when in season as well as tons of indian inspired sauces & spices. It's spicy but manageable. They also have a great cocktail list 🍹 & wine 🍷 list. By the way don't skip on dessert, that chocolate 🍫 soufley was amazing.
Mais quelle belle soirée ! En vrai, après avoir vu les avis négatifs nous avions un peu peur mais … nous avons vécu une magnifique soirée ! Nous sommes arrivés avec 30 minutes d'avance sur notre réservation & nous avons été accueillis avec un grand sourire & la personne de l'accueil nous a trouvé une table malgré notre avance ! La nourriture était délicieuse, genre vraiment vraiment délicieuse ! Les cocktails aussi ! & tous les serveurs étaient aux petits soins ! Un grand merci à Gonzalo pour la belle soirée ! Nous n'avons jamais attendu plus de 10 minutes entre les plats & nos verres d'eau se remplissaient comme par magie ! Alors si vous lisez des commentaires négatifs ne vous laissez pas impressionner par eux car chacun peut vivre une expérience totalement différente ! & toutes les personnes qui étaient dans la même salle que nous avaient toutes le sourire & avaient toutes l'air de se régaler autant que Nous ! Merci pour la belle soirée ! Il n'y aurait pas eu de meilleure manière de commencer le week end ! ❤?
Food was good but pricey. Service was terrible. We had 7:45 pm reservations on a Saturday in July 2025. Restaurant was not that busy. Took over an hour to get our main meal after appetizers. Never had a chance to order wine after our cocktails.
J'ai adoré mon expérience! Merci à Mathieu & à toute l'équipe pour l'excellent service. La terrasse est magnifique, les cocktails signature délicieux & les huîtres à 1$ vraiment généreuses. Je vous recommande aussi le tartare de thon qui était excellent. Je suis retournée 2 fois pour cette entrée.
Superbe restaurant dans le vieux montréal! La nourriture est délicieuse, les couleurs des mets sont superbes & le service est exceptionnel. Les cocktails sont aussi beaux que bons! Nous avons adoré le foie gras, les pétoncles & les boulettes d'agneau. Nous avons hâte d'y retourner!
