Tried Tarka Dahl, Malai Kofta & Paneer saag-everything was delicious! We practically licked the plates clean. FYI: Everything comes non spicy unless you ask the chef to make it spicier. Great for vegetarians.

Had a single night in Montreal & most restaurants were fully booked. Food was good. Service was nice. Seemed like the restaurant staff was hesitant to come over & bring over the check, maybe thinking they were interrupting. Overall, good experience.
Nous entrions un peu à reculons dans le restaurant car il n'y avait alors personne, mais nous étions dans une heure « creuse » en après-midi. Quelle belle surprise ! Belle décoration & ambiance, un serveur très attentionné, courtois, poli & parlant bien français. Avons pris du poulet (menu combo) ainsi que des plats d'agneau. Plats tout simplement délicieux & débordants de saveurs & épices indiennes. Portions copieuses & prix très raisonnables. Une très belle trouvaille !
The service was absolutely excellent-friendly, attentive, & welcoming throughout our visit. The food was extra delicious, full of flavour & clearly made with care. What really stood out was that the chef personally came out to check on us & even offered us a bottle of beer to try, along with an extra mint sauce. The mint sauce was incredibly delicious & paired perfectly with the food. Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, outstanding service, & thoughtful personal touches. Highly recommend!
Restaurant Palki hosted a perfect night out for us! The food was excellent, the service too, ambience was on point.
We had the poulet tandoori & the'butter chicken' as our entrees. I started with the Mulligatawny (lentil) soup, which was so delicious I'm convinced it must be a family recipe.
The butter chicken was right up my wife's alley - flavorful without a lot of heat. I haven't had tandoori in a long time & was craving it - chef did not disappoint with fall-off-the-bone tender & moist chicken steeped in bold tandoori flavor. The lime wedge was a perfect touch, it brightened everything right up.
The atmosphere inside is tasteful & very inviting - obviously the ownership wants you to enjoy your whole meal experience, not just the food on your plate.
Palki is the kind of place that reminds me what dining out should be like in restaurants of any cuisine & I hope we see more restaurants return to, in the future.
Highly recommended, please try it for yourself! If I was local I'd be a regular but since I was visiting I'm very glad I can say Restaurant Palki was part of our Montreal Experience.
J'ai vraiment tout aimé. Tout les plats étaient savoureux. C'est le meilleur poulet tandouri que j'ai mangé. Mon serveur m'a expliqué tout le menu où presque. Lol. Très bon prix pour la qualité des repas. Choix diversifier & en plus ils font leurs propres pain naan. Je suis allez pour la fête de ma fille avec sa copine & mon fils. Les 3 ados ont tripper au boute. Je recommande x1000. Merci pour la soirée.
Delicious food, portions are just right & the spices are brilliantly put together giving a subtle, balanced & refined flavour.
Comforting for the palate & heart, especially on those winter nights! Ambiance is warm & the owner is welcoming. Lots of vegetarian choices & other meal choices.
The decor is cozy & inviting, will come back. It is a lovely restaurant, colors & seating arrangements- location is fitting for a romantic date, family outing, girls night out or even office get together. Thank you again!

The food was delicious, a lil expensive but its worth the price!! The ambience, the food & the staffs were amazing. Will surely go back if ever i visit montreal .
Some of the best Indian food around. The Palki Massala Kara is great. Tender morsels of lamb with a lots of vegetables al dente. Their naan bread is also very good & their raita has a good balance of smoothness, vegetables & spices. & yes try their dhal soup. Taskin does a great job at the tables.
Vraiment delicieux, le service est excellent, le prix est très raisonnable par rapport à la quantité servi. On viens de le découvrir & on ne le regrette pas.
i visited already 5 times, really enjoued the chiken teka which is extremely tender. I ate the veal yesterday . there was no fat , extremely tender & enjoyed every bite. i dipped the nan bread with the butter chicken sauce. I asked for more onions with my rice.
Quelle belle expérience ! Lors de notre visite, nous avons eu la chance de découvrir le restaurant Palki. La cuisine était délicieuse & le service impeccable. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.
