Really nice Indian Restaurant. Decor is super nice. Menu is limited (compared to a UK Indian) but what they do serve is really good quality. Recommended.
The ambiance of the restaurant was welcoming with the warmth of fragrant Indian spices. Our server Jaina provided wonderful main course & dessert recommendations. It was a very enjoyable dinner experience.
Thank you Veranda.

Perfect in every aspect - flavors, spice blends & presentation were amazing. Best Indian meal experience. The basmati rice, naan & our main chicken dishes were absolutely delicious. The staff is attentive & pleasant. A wonderful find & a definite repeat.
Creative take on Indian food. Nice atmosphere, piano music. Naan was especially good. Fusion take on Palak Paneer was also very good. Service was very sincere.
Had an amazing dinner here today! The service was very warm & friendly. The atmosphere was great but some light Indian instrumental music would've been nice. They have a great wine selection, but some more details about the origin of the wines as well as more local wines would be good. The menu is very limited but whatever we had was delicious! The Sabudana tikki chaat was very tasty but the samosa tart was something really unexpected, amazing authentic flavors! The naans were really soft & the dal makhani was extremely creamy & tasty! Despite being pricey, it's a great option to try when you're visiting Old Montréal.
I had the chance to visit Veranda, the new Indian restaurant in Old Port, & it's a true gem. The space is stunning - it has the same upscale feel as any steak house but with its own charm & personality. The menu offers a wide range of Indian dishes, all full of authentic flavor & beautifully presented. Everything we tried tasted fresh & well-balanced, not overly heavy like some places.
The bar is impressive, with a huge selection of drinks that make it just as much a place to enjoy a cocktail as it is to enjoy a meal. The staff were warm, attentive, & made the whole experience even better.
What stood out most to me is the versatility of the space. For a dating couple, the cozy yet elegant atmosphere makes it perfect for a romantic night out. & for larger gatherings, the massive backyard is an unexpected surprise in Old Port-it feels tailor-made for weddings or big celebrations.
Had a lovely dinner here with friends! Our server Chirag & bartender Jemerie were very helpful & fun. The highlight of the meal was the Palak Buratta, garlic naan, & an amazing mango dessert. Highly recommend for when you are in the Old Port area & in the mood for Indian fare

Went here to experience Indian fine-dine for my daughter's birthday & I have to say that I am disappointed on many fronts. The menu offered was very limited (very few curries & & even lesser number of appetizers). The waitress was fine but the guy waiter was quite rude. The food lacked to capture essence of Indian culinary. Overall not something i would recommend my friends for the price.
Absolutely outstanding. We learned that this restaurant just opened a few months ago. & oh wow. The food was outstanding. The naan was probably one of the best we have ever had (& we love indian food!)
I have no doubt that this restaurant will be a success!
Our waitress Jaina was very attentive.
Because we were sitting right next to the speakers, the music was a bit loud, making it hard to place our order.. but she immediately
Asked the DJ to turn it down a bit., & we had a pleasant evening.
My husband ordered chicken Tikka masala, my daughter Butter Chicken , & i had Dahl Makhani per her recommendation.
My daughter also had this beautiful pink lady cocktail.
The flavors were spot on!
So glad we had dinner here tonight!!!!
We might have to come back before our vacation is over.

Absolutely amazing. We learned about this place when we stopped in one night - my friend's daughter had been stung & the bartender provided help with a first aid kit. So very kind. My husband & I returned for our last meal in Montreal - we ordered the Butter Chicken & the Rara Chicken. The server warned us about the bones in the latter & lowered the spice level. The dishes were incredible, layered with flavour. This is the best Indian food I've ever tasted. We sat in the courtyard out thr back of the restaurant - it was quiet, peaceful & beautiful, with ivy climbing stone walls. Chirog, another bartender, crafted us a cocktail by listening to what we liked - it was delicious & he listed the name we gave it, Chirog's sunshine, on the bill. This is a new restaurant & no doubt will be successful given the service, location & food.
Veranda is a beautiful Indian restaurant with tasty food & a cozy indoor seating. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Panneer, & Naan. Everything was full of flavour but I felt our Chicken was little bit undercooked, a little chewy. The staff was friendly, & the place felt warm & welcoming. It's just a 5 to 7 minute walk from Old Port.
The food was nice, though a bit pricey. Our bill was around $175 plus tip. But it was nice to treat ourselves once in a while. A lovely spot for a special meal in Montreal!

We've travelled a lot internationally, & this is probably the fanciest Indian restaurant we've been. At time of review, it has been open only a month. But it's clear they put a lot of thought into their presentation, mimicking Michelin Star restaurants. The restaurant itself is in one of the hottest, prime streets in the city.
The garlic naan was fresh, striking a balance between fluffiness & crispiness. The cheese naan went with cream cheese rather than the more typical mozzarella or paneer. Still didn't feel heavy & wouldn't have guessed it was cream cheese if we weren't told.
The staff was friendly, professional, & helpful. We tried a cocktail at the waiter's recommendation, & it was actually refreshing with a spicy finish.
For curries, we went with the Veg Korma & Palak Burratta. Veg Korma was tasty & had a wide variety of vegetables. Both curries were made spicier upon request. The Burratta is one of the curries featured on the socials, & it also did not disappoint. Spinach was fresh, & the Burratta cheese both made it fancier & went hand in hand with the spinach.
