Veranda is widely described as a beautiful Indian restaurant in the Old Port, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a striking terrace or courtyard. The menu may be concise, but dishes are consistently flavorful and well presented, from butter chicken and dal makhani to lamb rogan josh and paneer burrata, with fresh naan and thoughtful spice levels available on request. The ambience, decor, and music create a refined yet comfortable dining experience. Service is repeatedly praised as attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, with staff offering great recommendations and accommodating dietary needs. Guests often highlight the quality of ingredients, the balance of flavors, and the high standard of hospitality, making it a reliable choice for celebrations or relaxed evenings alike, and many express plans to return and to recommend Veranda to others.
Absolutely loved this place! Hands down the best Indian restaurant I've been to in a long time. The dal makhani was unbelievably rich, creamy, & full of flavor - easily the best I've ever had. Every dish tasted authentic & freshly made, & the service was warm & welcoming. Can't wait to come back again!
Amazing Indian fusion spot with bold flavours & beautiful presentation. The lamb ghee roast, Mangalorean shrimp, & chicken biryani were standout dishes - the biryani especially felt like home. Loved the cocktails too, especially Whispers of Veranda, which was super refreshing with a unique pani puri-inspired cocktail flavour. Great ambiance & overall a really memorable dining experience.
Amazing food & service. If you are visiting Montreal, this place is a must. In vegetarian, I would recommend the jackfruit tacos & paneer methi makhana. Great taste. In non-vegetarian, try chef's special lamb ghee roast.
I really enjoyed the food here! The service was great, & they were very accommodating for dietary restrictions (I am lactose intolerant & they brought a coconut milk sauce instead if the raita that comes with this dish, removing all dairy as well). The chicken biryani was very tasty, a tiny bit on the spicy side for me (I have very low spice tolerance). I would recommend eating here if you are in Old Port & craving Indian food!
We visited this restaurant recently during our Montreal trip. I strongly recommend this place for authentic Indian food & it was awesome. Paneer Martban is lovely & the bread is also amazing. However, we noticed that the greetings by Manager Mohit should be more welcoming than just directing for seating arrangements.
The staff we very friendly, were happy to guide us through the menu & portioning.
Despite our server mentioning the spicy was a more traditional hot spicy, it wasn't anything crazy. If you're someone who enjoys heat, do the spicy option.
Shubham did a great job serving us . Very professional & polite . Also , Compliments to the chef for making so delicious food everything was on point its a bit expensive but worth the experience
This place has an amazing ambience. We were there for dinner & tried Dal Makhani & Martaban ka paneer with chur chur naan. Everything was delicious. The location is nice too.
The food was unbelievable, & we already come from somewhere where there's a lot of great Indian cuisine. The interior was elegant, & wait staff was attentive & polite. 10/10 experience.

High quality Indian restaurant. It's a shame there are so many bad reviews for Valentine's Day, which was obviously just a one off busy, possibly understaffed night. The food here is of absolutely excellent quality. The Mangsher Ghugni was one of the best lamb curries I've ever had, paired with the Chicken Tikka Masala, & the vegetable pilau rice & roti were the perfect accompaniment. Good beer & wine choices & they do really good cocktails too. Highly recommend.
The restaurant is located in the Old Port, & its ambience is quite pleasant. While the menu options are limited, the quality & taste of the food more than make up for it. We tried the chicken malai & rara chicken-both were absolutely delicious. This was our second visit, & we'll definitely be coming back again.
This place offers really nice food in a hard to beat location with a really nice atmosphere.
By request they can make the dishes spicier which is always appreciated.
