We could not be more impressed with this place, honestly. Every part of our experience wowed us beyond our expectations. We started by selecting a drink from a well-crafted & creative cocktail menu, followed by wave after wave of exquisite, expertly prepared dishes. We enjoyed the atmosphere, friendly staff, &, of course, the amazing food. We highly recommend you stop by to try it for yourself.

Wonderful meal! We visited this past weekend & were impressed by the atmosphere & especially the food & cocktails. The dal is so flavorful. I highly recommend. & the Rogan Josh is some of the best I've had. The tandoori chicken was moist & delicious. Truly one of the best Indian meals I've had.

This place took me for surprise - the laid back atmosphere cafe. Had you feeling you were somewhere in India itself with all the wicker decor. Must say the food was high quality for sure - loads of options. I wish I could go here more often. I had the pani puri plus the combo 1 the presentation of everything was beautiful- the menu well thought of. Highly recommend 🫶🏾 Probably one of the best Indian food spaces I've had in a LONG time.

I came here with my friend when she was visiting Montreal & it did not disappoint!! Our server Kira was lovely & gave us the excellent recommendation of pani puri as an appetizer. It was delightfully refreshing, we loved the tangy water. Also just fun to eat. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful not to mention taste phenomenal. The paneer tikka masala was our favorite dish we ordered. As for naan, definitely get the cheese naan. They don't mess around. Highly recommend this restaurant!

I had the pleasure of trying the tandoori broccoli at this restaurant, & it was absolutely delightful! The broccoli was perfectly charred, with a smoky flavor that paired beautifully with the bold, aromatic Indian spices. The cozy decor & soothing music created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try a unique & tasty vegetarian dish in a great setting!
