Really delicious food & attentive service! We were three people, & we got samosa, palak paneer, chicken tikka, a lamb & lentil curry, raita & naan to share. Absolute heaven! We got little shooters of mango lassi on the house to start, & our server brought us a portion of mango kulfi to share at the end, which was lovely. There was salt & pepper on the table, which I appreciate as a salt freak, & our server kept our water filled, which I also look for in restaurants. The bathroom was very clean. There was music on the TV, but it was not too loud to talk, & it was gentle instrumental music. Overall a lovely time, we'll surely be back.
This restaurant is perfection. The best Indian restaurant I have had in the province. The owner was a gem. Super courteous & welcoming. The prices are fair & the quality of every single item we ordered was superb. The korma & butter chicken were our favourites but there was nothing that disappointed. It's BYOB too which is fantastic. This restaurant entirely won me over.
One of the best food in Montreal. Their kulfi was delicious, perfect sweet dish. Also we ordered chicken Dosa Thali & Chicken Curry Thali, both were so good & filling (amount was generous).
I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Très belle découverte !
Dès l'arrivée, on nous offre un mini lassi mangue, puis une mini glace kulfi mangue à la fin du repas - une attention magnifique, & en plus vraiment délicieux. Ce genre de détail fait toute la différence.
Les naans sont faits maison : j'ai pris le garlic naan, parfaitement exécuté, moelleux & très savoureux.
Mention spéciale aussi aux pakoras, tout simplement les meilleurs que j'ai goûtés à Montréal jusqu'à présent.
Les portions sont généreuses !
Petit bémol sur le biryani, qui était un peu trop pimenté pour nous.
Nous avons aussi goûté le chicken madras, & j'ai été un peu déçu de ne pas retrouver le côté coconut que j'attendais. Mais en y réfléchissant, le restaurant s'appelle Amrit donc peut-être le Pendjab, qui est très différente des saveurs du sud de l'Inde, donc c'est un mauvais choix de ma part.
J'ai remarqué que beaucoup de tables commandaient des thalis - est-ce la spécialité de la maison ?
Seuls petits détails perfectibles : j'aurais aimé un petit papadam en apéritif mais ils en vendaient plusieurs à la fois, & des photos sur la carte aideraient à mieux se projeter dans les plats.
Dans l'ensemble, une très belle expérience, avec de vraies attentions & une cuisine généreuse.
Finally found a place that makes excellent flavorful chicken Biryani!!! The rice was tasty & the chicken was juicy & soft! Thank YOU! The worker was very nice too, gave me a mango Lassi sample :)
Really enjoyed the chicken Amrit, lamb mughlai, goat curry, & Palak paneer. My issue was that there was more cartilage & bones in the chicken & lamb than other restaurants. Otherwise, portions & flavour were great.
Visited here on our way to Quebec. Place is simple & the food was good. We ordered tandoori roti, goat curry, chicken in coconut curry, palak paneer, chicken biryani, & salad. We had a warm welcome & were made to feel at home by the owner. He was attentive & a great host. Kindness & warmth are always appreciated even more than the food itself. 🙏 Thank you
