The food was on a whole new level compared to all my other dinning experiences. If I could rate it above every other restaurant I already rated 5 stars I would. The food & service was exceptional. I would highly recommend any of the appetizers, they are unlike any that I have had in Montreal. Pro tip, try the Mango breeze as a dessert. It is made inhouse with fresh ingredients. Hands down my now favourite dessert!
Très belle découverte. C'est cozy, c'est beau, il y a de la bonne musique en entrant, on nous propose de nous débarasser de nos manteaux...bref, ça fait plaisir d'entrer là ! La cuisine est juste parfaite. On retrouve tout ce qu'on aime de la cuisine indienne, les sauces délicieuses, le petit kick épicé qui nous réveille, les viandes tendres...tout est frais, beau, savoureux. Un délice ! Les serveuses & serveurs sont jeunes, pas tous très expérimentés on dirait, mais tous vraiment gentils & agréables, très plaisants. On se sent comme des rois ! Toute cette qualité a un prix...43$ pour deux personnes, le combo végé !! En 2024, c'est juste une prouesse. Mais quelle joie de pouvoir manger si bien, dans un endroit si beau, pour un prix si raisonnable ! J'ai payé 91$ pour ma femme, notre fille & moi, taxes & pourboire inclus, & je suis reparti avec le sourire & une boîte de restants ! J'aurais certainement payé quasiment la même chose dans un Mike's ou un Boston Pizza pour manger une pizza cheap avec des frites & une bière..!! Je le recommande très sincèrement. Magnifique !
Birthday dinner was so special. They played my favourite song then played it's your birthday & sang happy birthday with dessert. Like in Pointe Claire the food was delicious & service on point. Recommend to all who love Indian food!
First time eating at Sahib in Dorval. What an amazing experience! The food was wonderful, service was super friendly & the ambience was great. Highly recommend!
We're no experts in Indian cuisine, but my wife & I really enjoyed the meal here. We ordered the recommended dishes on the menu (with the green heart): Chicken 65, Shrimp Mollée, Dhaba Chicken, & Lamb curry. The lamb was my favorite, everything else was delicious as well.
Pricing for main platters is a bit high imo, as there are really not many blocks of meat for ~$20. The $10 appetizer of Chicken 65 has 3x the quantity of protein vs a main platter.
Amazing place! Cozy atmosphere, the food is really good, the service is perfect, prices are reasonable. I had a great time & I definitely recommend this restaurant!
I live an hour away from Sahib but it is worth the drive & more. I was first introduced to this restaurant a month ago by a friend, & immediately within a week I came back again with my family - I just couldn't stop thinking about the food. We had the aloo tikki & samosas to start, which were delicious & plenty filling on their own, but topped by a generous portion of equally tasty chickpeas, sauce & yogurt. At this point, I'd also ordered a mango lassi to wash it down, which was perfect - sweet & refreshing, but not overly sweet. I then had the thali which was well worth the price, & came with a bit of everything - tandoori chicken that was nice & juicy, lamb curry that was tender & rich, chickpea curry (one of my personal favourites), plenty of rice & naan (paired perfectly with both curries), & dessert to boot! Every one of the staff was incredibly friendly & welcoming as well, from the owner to the waiters to even the chef. One of the most comforting dining experiences I've had, & I couldn't recommend it more - I will definitely be coming back again soon!
