The food was outstanding. The lamb chops were the highlight of the meal-perfectly grilled, incredibly tender, juicy, & packed with delicious spices. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, & full of authentic flavor. It was one of the best butter chickens I've ever had. The samosas were fresh, crispy on the outside, & filled with a perfectly seasoned filling. The garlic naan came out hot from the oven, soft, fluffy, & topped with just the right amount of garlic & butter. Everything tasted fresh & was cooked to perfection.
The portions were generous, & every dish was beautifully presented. You can tell that the chefs take pride in preparing authentic Indian food with high-quality ingredients. The prices are reasonable for the quality & portion sizes, making it excellent value for money.

I had an okay experience at Palki Indian Restaurant. The food was decent overall, & the malai kofta was flavorful & worth trying. However, I would avoid the chickpeas-they were not cooked well & were still too firm, which affected the dish. With better preparation of the chickpeas, the meal would have been much more enjoyable.
We had dinner at Palki during our 2-day trip to Montreal, & it was an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious with authentic flavors, & every dish was full of taste. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, & attentive throughout our visit. We tried Indian food at three different restaurants around Montreal, & Palki was by far the best. Highly recommended-we'll definitely come back the next time we're in Montreal! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Veggie lovers, take note! Every dish we ordered was spectacular-fresh, vibrant, & packed with flavor. The staff made it even better with their warmth & attentiveness. This is officially my first stop whenever I land in Montreal. 10/10.
First Indian restaurant we've tried in Montreal. This was excellent. Started with Kingfisher beer. Move down to Bombay, potatoes & chicken tikka masala. We had roti & garlic naan. Our starter meal was Samosa. All of it excellent, fresh, bright flavors, well balanced. Service was attentive, quick, very polite. Experience? Wonderful. This is restaurant. I highly recommend that we go back to. I read many reviews on Yelp before we settle on this restaurant. Restaurants in Montreal so far have been hit or miss with more Miss than hit. This was consistently good without any bad surprises. I can see eating at this place again & again if I remain in the city. We were just visiting for a few days. Highly recommended.
The flavor was perfect. Tried the Pakora, Garlic Naan, & Tikka Masala. The spice levels on the dipping sauce for the pakora, & the tikka were perfect. You get the full flavor of spice - but not overwhelming, & having a little sweetness to it. Waiter also helped pick an excellent wine. Great place to stop by if you're in the area. Priced more than fair for what you get!
Restaurant Palki is a fantastic spot for Indian cuisine! The flavors are unique & every dish felt incredibly fresh. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, & the staff are friendly & attentive, making the dining experience even better. A great choice for anyone craving authentic & delicious Indian food!
