Overall, Sahib earns praise for rich, authentic Indian flavors that are well spiced and freshly prepared, with generous portions and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Guests frequently highlight standout dishes like butter chicken, lamb curries, paneer, and naan, and note attentive, friendly service on most visits. A few reviews mention smaller portions for the price and occasional inconsistencies in service or pacing, suggesting room for improvement in value and staff coordination. Extras such as trivia nights on Thursdays and a convenient location near the airport add to the appeal. Some diners also point to language and communication gaps with staff, and a few visits feel the price is higher than expected for the portion size. Nevertheless, Sahib is regarded as a top choice for Indian cuisine in the area, with many looking forward to returning for shared plates, flavorful food, and a lively yet cozy ambiance.
If you're in Montreal & crave for authentic Indian food, Sahib is the place to visit. The chicken chilli chowrangi is a must have. Their butter chicken & prawns masala balti was exceptional as well. Don't miss their butter garlic naan! Five stars overall, but the only reason I have taken one star off is their their portion sizes are ridiculously tiny for the price. Really wish they had atleast 30-40% bigger portions.
Nice hidden Indian restaurant just south of YUL airport in Dorval. Easy to walk to if you have time, weather permitting. Good food selection & quiet atmosphere along with prompt service. Will continue visiting.

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
