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.

Top notch service! We went for the dinner server was awesome to tell us about specials comparing with menu. He was saving us some money. We had mix grilled platter(best dish), lamb chop(delicious), & grilled shrimp(flavorful). Chicken, beef & many more 👌
They have imported drinks, It was interesting. Overall, good experience with awesome food. highly Recommended♥?
We came in rather early for a dinner, & the restaurant was empty. Who I'm assuming to be the owner, came to us & had us choose where we wanted to sit. He then offered to lower the music so that we could talk more easily. The ambiance was quiet & pleasant. The food itself was delicious & filled with flavours. & both the owner & our waiter were very kind. We chose this restaurant on a whim, & I must say we didn't regret it at all. We will surely come back!
We went in on a November evening. The waiter adjusted the music so that we could pleasantly speak to one another. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We had the lamb meal for 2. It was the perfect size meal, not too spicy, but delightful
This is second time at restaurant palki. I ordered vegetables biriyani with little spicy.& it was really really delicious. I asked the chef how he made it & he said, they grilled the vegetables & mix with rice. The smoky flavour made the biriyani fantastic. I will definitely comeback with my partner.
We were group of 11 . Everyone loved butter chicken , shrimp & garlic naan .
The food here is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Excellent service!! I could eat there everyday!!! The garlic naan, shrimp saag & butter chicken was on point!!! Yum!!!!

This is a gem of a restaurant. Steps from Notre Dame is a palace you can feast in. The food is flavourful & affordable. This will be a highly recommended stop for anyone i know visiting the area.
Very lucky we were to pass in front of this restaurant! Best madras, korma & naan we had in ages. The waiters were extremely nice. It is also brand new, with a pleasant design. So many plates to try!
Last Saturday i had dinner with my family & it was an amazing experience! The food was delicious, authentic, & full of rich Indian flavors. I've tried many places, but I truly love the Indian food here the most. The service was excellent & the atmosphere warm & welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys genuine Indian cuisine!
