We picked that restaurant over the really good reviews we saw & we have to say the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
The food was delicious, better than most of the indian restaurant I experienced in Montréal.
The lahsooni Murg Tikka is out of this world, if you like chicken this is it. Portions are good & service is excellent. Thank you Sim & Pushya.

Delicious food, great service. We showed up late & ordered the burrata butter chicken, butter chicken, & chicken tandoori. Our server simran was super accommodating & recommended some great drinks.
Sorry, we have no pictures. We started eating right away because the food looked so appetizing. We were NOT disappointed. We ordered, Pani Puri, Samosa Chaat, Classic Butter Chicken, Coconut Shrimp Malai, Naan & Gulab Jamun. The ingredients were fresh, everything was delicious. The waitress Sim was very helpful & knowledgeable. We will definitely be back. This is our new favorite spot for Indian food.

The decor & location is nice, but regrettably the food isn't authentic Indian cuisine. The 4.8 score is misleading.
We tried the butter chicken & Bengali fish. The butter chicken gravy seemed to be on the watery side & the fish prep was not Bengali. It can be replicated using KFI butter chicken gravy jars from the grocery store. Putting mustard seeds in fish doesn't make it Bengali prep, it had a plain tomato onion base & tasted like Aloo Matar with fish. I felt sad for the fish which ended up in this prep.
Food was just okay, if you're not looking for that authentic Indian taste.
Excellent meal. We had lamb rogan josh & balti chicken tikka & a nan, all tasted delicious. Red beer was also lovely. Great service & very affordable prices. I would definitely go back if I lived in Montreal!
The food was absolutely amazing!! I had the butter chicken & it was so creamy & delicious, not too spicy. Sim was our server & she was very kind & had great service. The atmosphere was also a chill vibe with beautiful plants. Would definitely come back again!
We had ordered food to our Hotel Hyatt Montréal.
Great food - Butter chicken, Dal Tarka, Paneer lababdar, black dal, steam rice, nan. Would strongly recommend this place. Please keep this quality.
