Review Summary

Sahib is widely regarded as a standout destination for Indian cuisine in the Montreal area, consistently praised for its rich, authentic flavors, beautifully presented dishes, and elegant yet cozy atmosphere. Many patrons highlight the exceptional quality of staples like butter chicken, tandoori dishes, and freshly baked naan, noting that the food is both flavorful and refined. The overall dining experience is frequently enhanced by attentive staff and welcoming owners who go out of their way to ensure guests feel valued, though some visitors have noted inconsistencies regarding portion sizes and occasional lapses in service standards. While the trivia nights and live entertainment add a unique touch to the vibrant environment, some feedback indicates a need for better linguistic inclusivity and more consistent attention to detail for larger groups. Despite minor critiques, the majority of guests consider this restaurant a must visit, especially for those seeking a memorable meal that balances high quality culinary craftsmanship with a warm and inviting setting.

The food was fantastic, as usual, & the service was second to none. The owner even chipped in with the service when the server was otherwise occupied.
The quality & price was right on.
Bravo.

The menus that were given to us had the oil finger prints all over it & the quality portion were not enough for two people. We had to order two mains for it & the waiter service was not good. I asked for the check which was not given to us at our table. We visited the dorval branch a week before the experience was exceptional which made me go with my family again. But this location is not good as Dorval branch.

We love this new location but the portions are smaller than just a couple of few months ago. Amazing baignan bharta, daal, saag is good but different amazing paneer. The chicken tikka used to be breast they now use thigh Chana masala is tiny & watery. The lamb is excellent quality & chicken tikka masala is my husband's favorite. 3.5 stars because of inconsistency, but I didn't dine-in so consider the impact if travel time & not being able to make personal preferences know to kitchen.

We have been desperate for a good new Indian place as one favorite burned down & the other Sahib hasn't been up to par lately. We actually made our first order by accident thinking it was the original sahib. Since then we have ordered every other day. The protein quality is top notch, the flavors are wonderful, nothing is overly oily, portions are very generous. Our one wish is that Sahib puts their lamb samosa back on the menu. Really you guys are doing a wonderful job b. Chat wait to go in person.

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.

The quality of the food & ambience are amazing. The owner took the time to walk through dishes with me as I had a dietary restriction & his recommendation was 10/10. Also, their masala chai tea is absolutely delicious.

Defenetly amazed by the quality. We were looking for a new place to try. & this place did not disappoint. We tried the samosa channa. You would not want to skip it for sure . For the meal we got Sahib Thali with butter chicken an also with lamb curry . Both were pretty amazing. We also tried Angeau Karhi Masala with Rice which was the best in my opinion. We were 5 I did not eat all the food but I tried all . Also the Toilet was very clean like spotless. Defenetly will go back

I really enjoyed my meal at Sahib Dorval. The inside was bigger than I thought & the waiters were kind & customer focussed. I asked the manager/waiter for recommendations & everything he suggested was delicious. The prices are not cheap, but the quality is good. I also enjoyed my cocktail. I will definitely go back & am happy to have an Indian restaurant close to home.
