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.
We were a group of 6 people last Saturday & my husband & I first time. WOW what a great place‼️ The food was delicious & fresh.My husband is Portuguese & I am Italian. We are very picky.

Definitely we will go back Many thanks to the owner who took the time to speak to us many times over. Also explains the dishes & made recommendations which we all appreciated. Thanks to staff too who are very friendly. ❤️❤️❤️
Anyone landing or staying near YUL airport & craving EXCELLENT Indian food, Sahib is the place to go. Only 8 minutes from YUL airport. Had Dal Makni, Rice, Butter Nan & Dhai Puri.
Très bon service, belle ambiance mais très déçu de la nourriture. Très cher pour la qualité des aliments & j'ai déguster des plats indiens bien meilleur ailleurs..

Très agréablement surpris pour une première visite! L'accueil était chaleureux, l'espace intérieur est confortable & la nourriture est vraiment très bonne! Nous y retournerons assurément (en réservant la terrasse).
Fantastic restaurant! Fresh delicious food served by friendly professional staff. The atmosphere is very calm & relaxing. I highly recommend Sahib Dorval for a very enjoyable experience. Groups or couples & families - there's a nice bar to sit at also if you're alone & want to chill. They also have live music sometimes.
The food here is really amazing. Incredibly flavourful & good portions. The interior is attractive & there's a nice patio. All in all a great dining experience. One of the best Indian restaurants in the city.

The buddy that I went to this restaurant with had picked it & I know sahib in the West Island but this one was in dorval. He told me the story why it was created cuz the West Island one was losing its lease so they got this place. Then the lease peoples decided to allow them to stay on. The best feature was some music playing in the background, though not in flavor of the food being Indian. I would have expected some sitar & lightweight Indian sounding music. Best feature? Four young charming waitresses that were almost flirting with us. I'd say. Either that or we're just very charming & they couldn't resist which I doubt very much. Hahaha the food was okay. The cheese dessert was so thick that it was heavyweight & & the parts of the other foods were actually heavyweight as well. Although the spicings were well done, I didn't expect for the food to fill so heavy & thick at least the various items. Overall the food was okay I'd say maybe just under four out of five cuz the flavors were good & they turned the lights down. They dropped the electronic shades cuz the sun was burning my eyes & it became evening as we finished our supper. I'd say for the meal it was overpriced. 90 bucks for one beer, a main course & a dessert? The charm of the waitresses made it palatable & the seasonings were good but having food. That's high density cheese as a dessert. & sure I thought it was some thing like the guy stuffed a lot of ghee in it or something. It wasn't a refined meal & for that price & setting & delivery I thought it would be more refined. However, as overpriced as it was, I feel for what we got, the service was great. The music in the background okay & the way they set up the restaurant was quite reasonable. Back to the waitresses... they made the difference. Otherwise with the price & the heaviness of the food, I would give it a lower ranking. Thank goodness for the waitresses. .
