Sahib Indian Restaurant is an absolute gem in Montreal! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with genuine warmth & a beautifully inviting atmosphere. The decor is elegant yet cozy, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience.
The food is nothing short of outstanding. Every dish we ordered was full of bold, authentic flavors - perfectly spiced & cooked to perfection. The Paneer sabzi was incredibly creamy & flavorful, the veg biryani had the perfect kick, & the freshly baked naan was the ideal complement to every bite. Portions were generous, & the presentation was top-notch.
What truly sets Sahib apart is the exceptional service. The staff were friendly, attentive, & more than happy to offer recommendations based on our tastes. You can really feel the pride they take in both their food & hospitality. They need to improve a bit in making their Chai wonderful!
Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Sahib delivers an experience that's both delicious & memorable. A must-visit in Montreal - we'll definitely be returning soon!
Had the absolute pleasure of visiting Sahib's Dorval location for the first time last night for a dear friend's birthday party. The ambience is modern & sleek, the amazing bar staff was attentive, quick & super friendly, & the food was delicious. I will definitely be back for more. Highly recommended.
The staff were friendly & attentive. I ordered carry out. The service was timely. The food quality could be improved - samosa wasn't fully cooked in chaat. The rice & daal were good. The quantity is good enough. Masala tea wasn't hot/warm enough. You can park either in street or in front of restaurant. Google doesn't take you to the exact location as it is at intersection.
A most pleasant dinner at Sahib Dorval. Greeted warmly by the owner who escorted us to our "quiet corner" that we had requested upon booking. Grace, our server, very professional & knowledgeable about all items on the menu & beverage selections. Timely delivery of our appetizers & then...the FEAST. Butter Chicken was perfect. Madras Lamb just right for our spice preference. Sides of Paneer Spinach, Lentils, Mixed vegetables, Naan & rice = a divine ride for our palates. Grace was attentive, anything we needed more of...bravo..a true professional service ! The owner passed by our table also asking if all was to our liking, light conversation with him as we have experienced their other location & we praised the ambience & comfort of this Dorval locale. Shell we be back? ABSOLUTELY. Excellent experience & memories made !
An outstanding dinner at Sahib Dorval. Warm greeting by the owner, escorted to our "quite corner" table for the four of us. Grace , our most professional server, took our drink order & in no time our beverages were delivered. Grace answered a few questions we had...& then were off for a feast for the eyes & our palates. Perfect spice profile ( which we were asked about...our taste & "tolerance" ) for each item. Butter Chicken & Madras Lamb were divine. Sides selected of the Paneer Spinach, Lentils & Mixed Vegetables rounded out our service. Naan ..perfect...rice ditto. Grace was attentive through our dining, assuring all was to our liking = a resounding YES from all four of us. The owner dropped by our table...we thanked him for a true culinary adventure & experience. Not our first time at Sahib Dorval, but is was for our friends...all agreed ..we SHALL be back! Bravo team Sahi
OUTSTANDING! Hosted a my hubby's birthday party here & am so happy. It was the right choice by far. Inviting & contemporary decor , attentive service, warm staff, lovely background music, & gorgeous serving ware. & the food! Fresh, flavourful & abundant. The recommended appetizers were excellent & everyone thoroughly enjoyed their main choice. Hubby is a chef & was raving about good everything was. Exceeded my expectations which were already high. Well done!!
We had dinner here for my friend's mother's birthday. The food was phenomenal. Great taste, some people have mentioned small portion sizes but I don't believe that to be true. I think the portions were fair for authentic indian food. The atmosphere & decor is beautiful & classy. The staff were polite & attentive. The only issue I had is that we had a reservation for 5pm & at 6:40pm the bill was brought to us with our desserts & coffees...We ordered many items, our bill amounted to a little over 300$ plus tip. (We were 6 adults & a baby). I don't feel its fair to ask that we free the table after only an hour & 40 minutes. We felt rushed through desserts & coffee in order to vacate the table. At the very least we should have been warned in advance that there was a time limit on our table as there are other restaurants in the west island that have such policies (Escondite for example). That is my only complaint. Otherwise, a great restaurant. We will likely return & give them another try. :)
