Fantastic inventive Indian cuisine. Beautiful ambience in the old port. Very creative drinks & dishes. Our waiter was very helpful & explained some of the dishes we never tried & made recommendations. Highly recommended.
Soo delicious! The garlic naan was fresh & had the perfect texture. The tikka masala was some of the best I've had, not to mention the ambience of this restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend!
Came here for my Birthday dinner with my girlfriend & everything was amazing , at first we were not able to contact them but even after 9 we got a reservation.
The Place is beautiful with perfect lighting. Service was quick, we ordered beers, tandoori shrimp, malai tikka, lamb rogan josh & naan. Food was as expected, very pleasing, perfectly spiced according to our preference.
Verandah is a beautiful restaurant with an outstanding atmosphere & truly top-notch service. The staff is attentive, polite, & professional, & the ambience is elegant & relaxing-definitely one of the highlights of the experience.
The food is good overall, but it feels more blended & toned down compared to traditional Indian cuisine. The dishes lack the bold, authentic masala flavors one would normally expect from Indian food. If the restaurant advertised itself as Indo-Western or fusion cuisine, this approach would make more sense & set the right expectations.
That said, the quality, presentation, & consistency are still solid, which is why I'd rate the food 4 stars. For atmosphere & service, however, it's an easy 5 stars. A great place for a refined dining experience-especially if you enjoy milder, modern interpretations of Indian flavors.
We had a wonderful dinner at this beautiful restaurant in the Old Port area. The food was authentic & full of flavour. Both the presentation & taste were amazing, & the ambience made the whole evening feel special.
Huge compliments to the chef, Abhijay, who clearly knows his food & puts a lot of care into every dish we tried. Everything felt really well done & memorable. We will definitely visit again when we are back in Montreal.
PS: We were so busy hogging the food that we totally forgot to take pictures of the food.

Beautiful establishment despite some tacky plastic leis hanging all over. The restaurant was completely empty when we arrived (2 other couples showed up later), so we were seated at a front window. Unfortunately our view on this romantic snowy night was a giant pile of black garbage bags. The cocktails were basic, & not great. Tasty naan, but we weren't wowed by the food. We ordered the shrimp entree, palak burrata, rara chicken, veggie rice, & garlic naan. Not the elevated Indian food that we were expecting from the photos viewed online.
Unfortunately my experience here was pretty disappointing from start to finish. The food itself was good & the restaurant is beautiful, but I didn't get to see much of it unfortunately. Maybe it was an off night for them but seemed like they were ill equipped for the busy rush of a Saturday night. I made a reservation for 7:30, it took the host a few minutes to even show up. He told me to wait 5-10 minutes & then disappeared again, while a line of people were waiting. He then proceeded to take other people ahead. He finally took my name & because I was a solo diner, he told me he could accommodate me at the bar. I didn't want to make a fuss & take a table from other diners, so I agreed, although it was not my preference. I got to the bar, but not much accommodating happened. After a while the bar tender asked if I wanted a drink, I wasn't given a cocktail menu so had to wait for that. I waited & waited for someone to take my food order…a waitress even asked if she could take my menu, but nothing. Finally, I asked to place my order, when the waiter/bar tender came to take my order, he walked away mid order. Thankfully the food came quickly because I was ready to leave…but then had to wait & wait again for my check. Not worth the money if this truly is the level of service.
The food was excellent & authentic. The staff are exceptional & friendly. The restaurant manger Maureet was welcoming supportive of the staff & genuinely interested in assuring your experience is great. The atmosphere is beautiful & you will not be disappointed.

We had excellent experience. Food was great, deep & reach. Thanks for manager Mohit & our beautiful Persian server Parmida. You know the places where you mood became elevated after meal. This it that kind of place. P.S. don't go spicy.
If I could give 10 stars I would !! Went to this restaurant for the first time with a group of 4. 2 vegans & despite the menu not listing vegan options the restaurant outdid themselves To accommodate us. Giving us a ton of options that were beautiful to look at & exceptional tasting. Thank you to Lena for the outstanding service & the working with the manager to develop a menu that was above expectations. We will be back home t time in Montreal !
The restaurant boasts a beautiful ambience that immediately sets a warm & inviting tone upon arrival. The décor, lighting, & overall atmosphere are thoughtfully curated, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed evening or special occasion. While the food was certainly good & well-presented, it didn't quite live up to the high expectations set by the pricing. The flavors were enjoyable, but not particularly memorable or unique, leaving a slight disconnect between the cost & the culinary experience. Overall, it's a lovely place to visit for the ambience, though the food may not fully justify the premium price point.
What a beautiful restaurant!
They have a big dining area, street & back patio. Atmosphere here is majestic. The food was delicious, especially I would like to mention pretty dessert presentation! The waitress Jaina was very nice & friendly :)

Very delicious Butter Chicken. Beautiful restaurant with lovely decor. They also have a very large private terrace with heaters. Highly recommend this new restaurant right across from Marché Bonsecours
