Un restaurant indien branché proposant des versions fraîches et savoureuses des plats indiens classiques, servis dans une ambiance moderne et accueillante.
Dans l'ensemble, Vedha Indian Cuisine est perçue comme une référence à Montréal pour ses saveurs indiennes authentiques, avec des portions généreuses et une ambiance chaleureuse; les clients louent des plats tels que dosa, poulet au beurre, biryani, paneer et kulcha pour leur fraîcheur, leur équilibre d'épices et leur constance, et soulignent que le menu mêle spécialités nord et sud indiennes avec un service attentif et convivial; bien que la majorité des avis soit très positifs et que beaucoup recommandent cet endroit, quelques mentions évoquent des tarifs un peu élevés et des expériences variables à la caisse, mais dans l'ensemble l'impression est que Vedha offre une expérience culinaire vivante et savoureuse qui donne envie de revenir en famille ou entre amis.
We went there to have dosas & it was the BEST , we ordered Veg masala dosa & chicken dosa & the taste felt like authentic indian taste which is really hard to find here in Mtl, highly recommend this place if you are a dosa lover.
As a non-indian, coming into the pre-innovated, family-run style restaurant & eating with other locals was part of the charm.
Therefore, my visit to this place after many years of absence came at a shock. The usual tables got replaced by marble tops with fancy silverware, & reusable napkins. The paper menus wrapped in worn-out plastic cover? Replaced by a QR code.
Sitting down, I ask our lovely waitress - who, throughout the whole dining experience, routinely comes back asking us awkwardly if everything was okay, almost to overcompensate the service level to match the restaurant's new aesthetic - if they still had all the items from the Madras Curry House era, to which she confirmed. At a relief, I ordered my usual. The mashed potatoes inside the dosa was evenly spread, instead of a big chunk tossed in like before. & the dosa itself was crispier. The lamb curry did not disappoint with its explosive spicy flavour. Yet somehow, it tasted more bland in its Ikea-branded bowl, instead of the unusual silver lamp shaped vase served during Madras' era.
Even the post-meal licorice - presented usually in a bowl at front, offered only to those who dare to pick up the spoon & place the seeds & sugar in their hand before eating it - got the gentrification treatment. It is now simply a colorful licorice candy.
When I use to be welcomed into Madras Curry House by the inescapable smell of curry coming from the kitchen, & the Indian students eating their dinner with their hands, all laughing & chatting about their day in a language I did not understand, I knew I was the foreigner, the outsider, the visitor. I embraced it & I made it part of my experience. Now, it seems like the renovation was a desperate attempt to cater to people like myself, the outsiders. But by doing so, it booted the essence of what made the restaurant charming & alive in the first place.
Maybe I am a purist, but I truly believe not every restaurant needs a'modernization'.
I am happy for the owners & I congratulate them for the successful renovation of the establishment. But my memory of me frequenting Madras Curry House will remain just that, a memory.
From the moment I walked in, I loved the atmosphere. The place is very clean, welcoming, & well kept. The service was also impressive, with friendly & attentive staff. I ordered the 65 biriyani, & it was super delicious. This place truly impressed me on my first visit, & I am already looking forward to coming back again.
I tried the 65 Chicken Biryani at Vidha Restaurant in Montreal, & honestly it was amazing. The flavor was rich, spicy in a good way, & the chicken was tender & perfectly cooked. The portion size was generous, & the aroma alone makes you hungry.
The place feels clean, the service is friendly, & the food tastes fresh , you can tell they put effort into their cooking. If you're craving real desi-style biryani with great seasoning, Vidha is definitely worth trying. Highly recommended!
