Amazing food & very nice service. We were suggested malai kofta & murgh andaz which was very tasty & flavourful!!highly recommended if you are in montreal
Great place to stop for a quick & tasty meal while visiting Montreal from out of town & looking for a break from poutine 😀. Staff was very kind to squeeze us in as walk ins in spite of a very full Saturday night. I'm a little surprised by other reviews saying they felt that 7/10 was too spicy - I found it very manageable, & I don't think of myself as especially spice-tolerant
(I saw comments suggesting that some reviews are fake. I don't know they are *fake*, but we were gently requested to post a review & thanked with a complimentary small dessert, so they certainly seem eager to get reviews posted)

One of the finest places in Montreal to try Indian food. I would rate it 10/10 on the food quality & taste, we tried their pomfret, chicken, butter paneer & they were all amazing. On top of that the cocktails they have are superb. & the owners are perfect host, they will check on you to ensure that everything is good. & last but not the least their pistachio tiramisu was extremely tasty, I would highly recommend this place.
Absolutely loved the place. It's a must visit if you're looking for authentic, tasty & fresh Indian meal, reminds me of my home food, very very tasty. Hospitable servers, great flavours & nice ambience. We went 4 times in a week in Montreal, so you can imagine how much we liked it. Highly recommend it 👍
I had wonderful experience there. Environment was very neat, clean & peaceful. Food was hygienic & very tasty. I love Indian food & I got just Desi taste here. I will recommend you to go there at least one time. I am sure you will love to go there.
