Restaurant Mehfil draws broad praise for flavorful, fresh dishes, generous portions, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Reviewers highlight attentive, friendly service and a setting that makes meals and celebrations feel special. The menu offers a wide variety and many items are described as tasty and well executed, with butter chicken, biryani, pani puri, and garlic naan noted among favorites. Some experiences show inconsistency, including a very salty chicken noodle dish and undercooked chicken in biryani, suggesting room for tighter kitchen control. Takeout and dine in both receive positive remarks, with free parking in the plaza listed as a plus. Overall, Mehfil is viewed as offering solid value and dependable quality most of the time, suitable for families, friends, or hosting events, while a few dishes remind guests to manage expectations.
Dined at Mehfil today with my hubby & everything was superbe! I was craving pani puri & some chicken biryani, & the expectation was fairly exceeded. Would most definitely go back again & totally recommend it! :)
I was really looking forward to the chicken biryani, but unfortunately, the chicken pieces were undercooked & slightly pink inside - a serious issue from both a taste & safety perspective. The rice was fragrant & well-seasoned, but the undercooked meat ruined the experience. I hope the kitchen tightens up their food safety protocols.

I got the lamb Biryani. I was totally satisfied. The portion was more than enough for one person. It was slightly spicy which was good. The mango lassi was also good. For what you pay it's very worth it.
We were served a seemingly never-ending variety of delectable Indian cuisine dishes & we would love to talk about each one because they were all excellent. Some of our favorites included: the Chili Paneer, the Fish Pakora, Gol Gappe, & the Chili Chicken Biryani. We also loved the 4 types of naan & the delicious Gulab Jamun for dessert. We enjoyed several wonderful drinks from their bar, both with & without alcohol. Despite having tried so many different plates, we still didn't get halfway through the menu. There are so many items with so many options that we need to return to try them all! They also have a decently sized event hall that can accommodate parties of any kind
We travelled from USA to Qubec city & took stop here.. the food was great & Muskan was good host. While coming back we decided to visit it again.. shrimp curry , shahi panner , chicken Biryani was great. Everything was came quick & inexpensive compared to to dishes we have been paying on other restaurants. Definitely recommended!
Biryani au poulet C'est très bon au goût mais VRAIMENT TOP PIQUANT. J'aime l'épicé mais la c'est tellement intense que moi & mon conjoint n'avons pas été capable de manger plus que 5-6 bouchées... j'aurais aimé que cela soit mentionné avant de commander car j'aurais pris quelques de moins piquant Sinon les bhajee d'oignons c'est extrêmement délicieux je recommande ( juste faire attention par contre il y avait un cheveux dans la pâte )
We went for supper on valentines day. The whole place was empty. It looked clean. Decent atmosphere. The service could have been better. The food was great no complaints there. Great butter chicken & palak paneer. However the biryani was super spicy to the point thay I could not eat it, even though I had specified to the waitress that we wanted non spicy. Otherwise great.

Me & my family have been already & we dined in. Yesterday we ordered takeout & we had Daal tarka, Daal makhni, Saag paneer, Channa samosa & Veg Biryani. The portions are very generous & you have to like it spicy! The staff is super sweet Enjoy
Saturday lunchtime. We are the only customers. Took a while before anybody came to see us. Music was very loud. After a few minutes, a waitresses with the look & manner of a homeless serial killer that could not speak French & barely English came with the menu. Not only did we have to repeat our selection a few times, but she was asking ridiculous questions like how many soup I wanted. The food came & obviously partly wrong even if she double-checked our order. I received the biryani chicken instead of the lamb. The oignons' appetizer was good. However, some were under cook. Overall the food was ok & not expensive & good portion.This is why I gave a 2. Of course, the machine to pay with the credit card was not working. Maybe the evening is better, & I think I got stuck with the B team, but I'm not sure if I will come back.
I am not giving them 5⭐ because I have eaten better Biryanis. Their curries, on the other hand, are one of the best I have ever eaten: very well seasoned, right amount of spices, enough meat. I truly enjoy their food & I recommend this restaurant.
