Restaurant Mehfil specializes in an expansive menu of traditional Indian cuisine that highlights aromatic spice profiles and robust preparation techniques. The kitchen focuses on authentic grill preparations, utilizing clay ovens to impart a distinct char and depth of flavor to various marinated proteins. A significant portion of the offerings centers on diverse vegetarian dishes, which utilize legumes, fresh seasonal vegetables, and house-made paneer to ensure nutritional variety. The dining environment remains centered on the preparation of classic curries and tandoori specialties that adhere to foundational South Asian cooking methods. Consistency remains the primary objective, with an emphasis on balancing complex masalas and traditional bread variations. Patrons engage with a menu that bridges regional culinary styles, delivering recognizable dishes that maintain integrity through precise heat control and high-quality spice sourcing throughout every course.
Restaurant Mehfil is widely praised for its flavorful, delicious, and authentic dishes, which remain a consistent highlight for most diners. Many guests appreciate the generous portions, fresh ingredients, and the welcoming nature of the staff, who often go out of their way to provide attentive service. While some visitors suggest improvements regarding interior ambiance, pricing, and the timing of meal service, the overall consensus highlights the high quality of the food. Despite occasional inconsistencies and rare issues with specific dish seasoning, the restaurant is frequently recommended as a great destination for both casual dining and special events.
I visited this place with my family, & overall it felt similar to many average Indian restaurants in the area. The food taste & quality are good, & we enjoyed several dishes. However, the service definitely needs improvement, as it felt slower & less attentive than expected. The restaurant also comes across as overpriced for what it offers, especially considering the overall experience.
With a few adjustments in service & pricing, this place could deliver a much stronger value for families.
I ordered the butter lamb curry, cumin rice, & garlic nane. It was all delicious.
The person who work there are really welcoming & answered all of our needs.
Constructive criticism:
1- Add some ambiance to the restaurant. Like nashid playing, a big TV with something that has to do with your culture, lighting
2- Serve every customers from the same table at the same time. It's awkward when someone receive their dish & the next one 10 minutes later.
3- Serve the appetizers BEFORE the main dishes. We received our orders all mixed up. I received the main dish so I started eating, then in the middle of it I received my appetizer lol
4- Always fresh water bottles on table. We had water that has been sitting there all day before we asked for fresh water. Also, we had to ask the waitress for water all the time. Usually, waitress notice that & bring water by themselves.
By the way, this is how it works in every other restaurants.
The food was delicious, so if you guys make the service better, this could become a top tier restaurant.
UPDATE: I went back yesterday & the service was better. They made sure to serve us our appetizers before the main dishes. They were also canstantly changing our empty water bottles. Therefore, I am upgrading my review stars from 4* to 5*. Food was delicious as always.
Very good place for indian dishes in Laval! This spot deserves to be known. It's well decorated, super clean & friendliest staff! I had one of the best butter chicken ever! It's not overly spicy, so you can easily taste all the spices. I recommend the following (especially for people who isn't familiar with indian dishes, I promise you, you'll be amazed) : Samosas, onion bhaji, fish pakora, butter chicken, plain naan. Bonus : You can reserve a private room for parties such as : birthdays, corporate parties, weddings & more! There is a bar included.
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
During my recent visit to Montreal, I dined at Mehfil &.... wow; I was blown away! As someone who often eats at renowned Indian restaurants in NJ & NYC (where Im from), I can confidently say Mehfil is the best I've experienced in many ways. I have not had better tasting butter chicken anywhere else; the flavors transported me back to India. Beyond the butter chicken, the other meat & veg dishes (their paneer is a must-have) are top-notch, each cooked to perfection with authentic spices. On top of that, the customer service was wonderful, & the drinks were expertly crafted. If you're in Montreal, you don't wanna miss out on Mehfil!
As an Indian, I always look for good Indian restaurants when I travel, & this one truly stands out. In all my visits to Indian restaurants across Canada, I haven't found any that match the authenticity & flavor of this place. While I was in Montreal for a couple of days, I enjoyed their Indian dishes. Karahi Chicken, Butter Chicken, Fish Tikka, & Dal Makhani are must-tries. If you love Indian food, this place is a must.
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!
This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, the menu is a fantastic & wonderful dessert. I recommend it to everyone! I would like to come back here again & again Do yourself a favor & visit this lovely restaurant in Laval. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing - everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Absolutely the best meal we had while in Laval Highly recommend! Please have the same spirit All the best Will see you soon again
