I wish they need to open a restaurant in New Jersey . The best lamb chops I have ever tasted in my life . The service is incredible & very polite. My daughter broke the glass & our waiter said it's not her problem, the problem is glass 😀
I asked him that I have allergies in sea food . He politely replied that why I am telling him ! He is not a doctor 😀😀😀.
The decoration is magnificent. You will feel like a little tour of India 😀.
They newly opened & their restaurant was completely full .
We will definitely come back again .
Highly recommended.✅💯

I had an amazing dining experience at Palki! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome with their friendly & attentive service. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, & had a warm atmosphere that made it a great place to enjoy a meal with family & friends.
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.
If you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine with fantastic flavors, excellent service, & a welcoming atmosphere, Palki is definitely the place to visit. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Indian food or wants to try it for the first time. I can't wait to come back & explore more of the menu. Thank you, Palki, for such a memorable dining experience!
If you like lamb chops, this is the place. A nice blend of seasonings & they a tender & juicy. The staff is both attentive & hospitable. I am from the states & I have never had lamb chops taste so good, also reasonably priced. The atmosphere offers a tranquil ambiance. Montréal has another new restaurant gem. Don't miss out on this restaurant on Rue St Paul.
Hello, we were going to a play at the Centaur Theatre & wanted a meal before. As we strolled through Notre-Dame street, we came across Restaurant Palki Indian Cuisine. We found a special combo for two ($50), which included salad & the main dish, chicken, shrimp, & lamb chops (2 pieces of each) served with a delicate rice & vegetables (not too spicy, just right). The decor was calm & relaxing, the atmosphere was very friendly, the service was impeccable, & our waiter was very attentive to our needs. We will go back next time & highly recommend them.
