With a menu as diverse as the clientele it serves, Sahib's attention to quality is paramount and evident in its lean and fat-free tandoori dishes, gluten-free choices and enough selection for a vegetarian paradise. The freshly prepared buffet lunch is unmatched in the West Island and features favourites like butter chicken, succulent lamb curry and chicken tikka. Five professional Indian chefs offer authentic Indian fare at all levels of spiciness. Try a bhojan vegetarian platter, tandoori grill feast, or a balti pot dish inspired by the Birmingham U.K. trend. Sahib’s samosa was voted “best samosa” by West Islanders!

We also have many domestic bottled beers and a new and extensive wine list. Join us for happy hour weekdays from 4pm to 6pm.

The atmosphere is just amazing ! My family & I had dined in the restaurant & it was a wonderful experience. If you don't enjoy the business of downtown Montréal, then this is a great place to eat out. Nearby you can also get some groceries if you're in a hurry. Overall, it was a great experience.
We had eaten the garlic naan & had found out that Chef Harwinder made them. Credits to Chef Harwinder - the consistency & care in his dishes really show. Nothing felt rushed or overdone, just solid, comforting food done properly.
Sahib Restaurant is one of those places where the food just feels right. Everything was well seasoned, fresh, & clearly made with attention.
Credit to Chef Harwinder!!! the consistency & care in the dishes really show. Nothing felt rushed or overdone, just solid, comforting food done properly.
A reliable spot I'd happily return to.

Well prepared Indian food with authentic spices & fresh oil used. The level of spices is just appropriate & soothing that provides the right kind of taste. Many dishes to choose from.
The buffet food is not as good as the menu choices before. Either the whole food quality changed & this is bad or the buffet dishes should be improved.
We use to go often to their buffet...but over the time noticed that they cut on variety of the dishes
No more lamb, only one chicken plate
The rest are veggies
I ate twice in this restaurant & every time the food is delicious & the service is great..We go there for their buffet..it is very well organized & on point, all types of popular indian dishes are availables
We were welcomed in by kind staff. I asked to see a menu instead of the buffet because of my concerns about cross contamination but they said it was all the same. They told us which dishes to avoid. The food tasted good BUT my celiac daughter got sick after. As well as my husband & I also got sick & we do not have celiac so something else was not cooked correctly. We would not be returning even if we lived closer.
Sahib Pointe-Claire has a great lunch buffet, & it's just as nice for à la carte dinner. The food is always flavourful (vegetarian & meat-based dishes alike), the drinks are reasonably priced, & their special tea is excellent. The staff members are truly gracious & professional, & seem to take pride in what they do. The little warming lamps used at dinner are a nice touch.
Excellent service from the moment you walk in, amazing flavour, portions & freshness with every dishes we ordered (lamb vindaloo, okra, dal mahkhni etc). I would recommend it to all foodies & anyone that wants to venture into spice world. Very pleasant experience overall! Enjoy!!!

The server was very kind, accommodating & very patient with us. All of the dishes we ordered were enjoyed by everyone at the table. Will definitely come back again & I recommend to anyone who has an interest in Indian cuisine!
Extensive menu, excellent food most of it very spicy, prompt, attentive & efficient service. The 10% discount coupon was quickly accepted. Our confirmed reservation for Saturday had mistakenly been put down for Friday. I showed them the printed reservation & we were given a table with apologies. Our table for two was very small with only barely enough table space for the dishes & the chairs were uncomfortable. Overall the dining experience was positive.
I had high expectation & I was a little disappointed. Not because of anything they did, or didn't do.
I was hoping for vegetarian dishes. There was a wonderful variety of dishes. Everything smelled amazing.
The only criticism I have is that everything was too spicy, as in the heat, not the flavours. The heat was a single & slightly camouflaging note across most dishes, except the butter chicken, which tasted beautifully buttery. If you are not a fan of spicy heat, this place isn't for you.
The staff were friendly & attentive. The atmosphere is fine.
We went for a late lunch & they were already getting ready for a busy evening with a full house.
I believe the diner menu may be different.
I think this is a place that requires another visit to see if it's different or consistently spicy.
I have gone to this restaurant on two occasions for the buffet on sundays first time the food was delicious the service not great but decent enough to not be remarked upon. I put it on my do it again list...second time the food was good but the naan had not been replenished ..the padoras had sat just a lil too long but what really shone was the awful awful service our water did not get refilled at any point, the dishes just sat there for our whole meal we had three plates each so we decided to just stack them up..we were also not the only ones people left & their plates just stayed there ..it was odd because there was alot of waiters & servers around who were not doing much but looking bored. YES they have good food for the most part (although the selection is quite small) but eating out is more than for the food its for the experience & for the price this cost i rather have saved my money gone to many of the other great indian restos in the city.
