Fatima is amazing. She knows really well the menu & was able to suggest something. Spicy level was perfect. I don't eat spicy & my husband does. My meal was not spicy at all.
I've only been there twice (just moved to Laval), but both times the food was superb. Not like Montreal Indian restaurants. You just need to order one plate; it will have all kinds of goodies mixed in. & a naan or paratha (plenty of choices), The lady will ask if you want it spicy or not, even if it is palak paneer (spinach & cheese). She remembered me from the time before, & knew I liked it spicy -- vindaloo hot. When I took the first bite today, I started coughing -- I never expected palak paneer to be so hot! I loved it! But the real prize is the mango lassi -- so thick, creamy & flavorful! A huge menu for such a small place. The only thing missing is borfi. Funny curry-based signs on the wall. Not expensive at all. I cannot wait to go back!

Try the palak paneer!😳🫠 thick & spicy! The best i'va had.. Everything is cooked perfectly & owners are really kind.👌favorite Indian food in Laval! For the Pakistani food lovers,they also have beef nihari & haleem, wich is very rare in the area!
This is one of the best indian restaurant, not only in Laval but dare I say in Quebec. They are they super nice & their food is really delicious. We orderded for 6 people for my birthday, they took time out of their day to write me birthay wishes on the packages. I was all smiles when I saw it, truly nice people. Here are some of my recommandations : - onion bhaji are tasty & not overloaded in flour, witch make them nice & not too filling. - fish pakora are fluffy & well seasoned - Butter chicken is out of this world. Not spicy at all, a little tangy, a strong tomato taste. I recommand ordering it to balance out some of the more spicy dish. - Nihari is ... incredible. Taste is complex, everyone loved it. - mango chicken is so fun. It's sweet & creamy, never taste anything like that before. - Dum Aloo is my new favorite potato dish. Sauce is spicy, potatoes are cooked to perfection, not too mushy. You can confidantly order anything at this restaurant. I've been ordering there for more than 2 years now & not a single bite was bad.
Being from Toronto , it was my first time here & it was a client lunch . We ordered after recommendations from the owner , seekh kebabs , fish pakora , haleem , naan & mango lassi , gulab jamuns . The food was on point , flavourful , not overtly spicy & very yummy. The fish pakora & haleem are a must order . We also got a complimentary onion pakora, it was delicious. Will definitely come by here again. The staff is so courtesous & friendly & value for money for the food & service.
I came here yesterday night for the first time as I looked to the reviews & they didn't seem THAT BAD. So I told myself why not give it a try. I asked about the chicken thali & the lady told me they would serve Murgh Makhani (butter chicken for those who don't know) with a piece of tandoori chicken, chickpeas, salad, rice & Naan. Seemed a pretty nice deal to me. She asked me what spicy intensity I wanted & I said medium. I asked how long before its ready she told me 10min no more than 20. I was there at 22:15 & they close at 11. Anyways. They were 3 guys that ordered to eat there after I came. & while I was waiting, the owner's family kids cousins uncle aunties came & took a sit. Who were served first? Yup. His own family. How long did I had to wait for my food? 30 min. I paid, went home. When I opened the package there was this bad odour. I swear it was far from a smell of freshly made food. The murgh makhani tasted so bad, I was even scared to be sick as this was just horrible. It tasted extremely sour as if they put lime or as if the yogurt/cream was over expired. Not to say that they put way too much kasuri methi (the dark stuff in the picture in the sauce). The tandoori didn't taste anything but chicken. Not even salt, not even marinated, no tandoor. Nothing. It just looked as they put food coloring & that's it. I asked medium spicy & they forgot. & the rice stank as it they over put asafetida & anyone who knows about this spice knows how we have to handle it with such delicacy. Just to let you know I grow up with these food at home. I had 2 choices either return it or throw it. I called the restaurant 3 times & they didn't want to answer. So I only ate the Chickpeas/salad & Naan. What a waste. Called the restaurant today to know what happened with what I got serve because either they gave me an expired butter chicken or they served me something I didn't asked. The owner started shouting at me even though I didn't finished what I had to say & I was being very polite with him. Shouting at me, he was stating that it is the way they do, that "this is the original butter chicken" but with their recipe blabla. If I don't like, it's not his problem. & when he finished his speech, he hung up. "What a gentleman". I called back, I let him know that it wasn't professional from him to do that & again he started shouting & I told him I grew up with these foods at home & there might have been a mistake from them but owner is too proud & not open for communication. As he was out of control, I told him I cannot stand talking with someone with such behaviour so assalamu alaikum. I won't recommend to anyone to come here. Salam.
