Our Specialties
Tandoori, Lamb, Beef, Chicken, Curry and Vegetarian dishes.
Sahib delivers flavorful Indian dishes with warm, attentive service in a comfortable, ambient dining space. The menu spans favorites like lamb curry, butter chicken, naan and tandoori items, and offers satisfying vegetarian choices, while the buffet is a popular option for variety and real value. Across visits, the atmosphere, cleanliness and generous portions stand out, prices are seen as reasonable, and both dine in and takeout experiences are praised, though a few guests note that the butter chicken can be a touch sweet and some buffet dishes could be more consistent.
Omg! OK a little background, I promise it's relevant.
Went to meet my friend who lives in Montréal. I live over an hour away towards Ottawa.
I ordered the chicken korma comes with either a naan or rice. I got the nice big naan. It was absolutely delicious. I never had such tender chicken. It was just the right spicy for me. I had the leftover for lunch & I swear it was better today. It just melted in your mouth. Asked for gulab jamun to go & my friend & I got a sample on the house.
So I will be driving the 1 h 20 mins to get some more deliciousness.
Oh & the little'réchaud' to keep your food hot, great touch. You gotta try it.
My daughter & I went for the lunch buffet today when it just opened at 11:30 so we can eat the fresh food. I had lamb curry, butter chicken, naan, tandoori chickens d the onion bahji. Everything was very delicious but my daughter & I found the butter chicken was a little too sweet. I would definitely go for the lamb curry, tandoori chicken & the onion Bahji for the buffet. The service was very good & polite. The decor was also very ambient & pleasing place to eat. The price I thought was also reasonable. We would go back for their buffet hoping next time the butter chicken isn't as sweet.

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.
Delicious ! I ordered by phone for a takeout order last night & have to say am soooo happy. My order was ready in 20 minutes. Ordered the Lamb Vindaloo for my brother who has been enjoying Indian food forever & he said it was the best he ever had. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi & it was outstanding. Not many Indian restaurants get it right. The rice & Naan were also perfect & the prices were more than reasonable & portions very generous. So happy his is close to my new place. Will become a regular !
Overpriced & didn't meet the expectations with the quality & flavour expected. Naan breads were of bought out packed quality. Believe at this pricing, there are so many other Indian restaurants serving quality food with more portions. Not worth a second visit.
The food is to die for LITERALLY!!!
If this place ever closes I would be so sad.
I would recommend the butter chicken, the naan & the Aloo gobi.
The service is pretty fast & they offer free popadoms.
We came last minute to the all you can eat lunch buffet & they were so kind & friendly & served us fresh curry & naan bread when there was none left at the buffet. Amazing service & the butter chicken was do die for!!! Highly recommended this restaurant.

We went there for a quick late lunch. Ordered lamb biriyani, chicken vindaloo, naan & gulab jamun. The biriyani was very good in both taste & presentation wise. I would have liked the chicken vindaloo to be more spicy as traditionally this is a spicy dish. It tasted more tangy rather than spicy. The nan was ok but small compared to naans at any other restaurant. The papadums were cold & didn't meet the expectations at all. The highlight was the gulab jamuns. They were hot, soft & fluffy. They were the best gulab jamuns I had recently. The service was excellent. Definitely recommended if you are craving for some delicious desi food.
Ordered online for pick up. The ordering process was super easy, the order was ready on time. However, the food was disappointing. I had heard many great things about this restaurant over the years so we decided to give it a try since we love Indian food. The butter chicken sauce tasted more like tomato soup than rich & creamy. & for $21.95, I was expecting more than 10-12 overcooked bite size pieces of chicken. The lamb Chettinad was tasty, even though the lamb was a bit tough. The tandoori plate for 1 was just ok. The 4 items (chicken, fish, 1 shrimp, ground meat sausage) were dry & overcooked. All the main meals do come with either naan or basmati rice, so that's a plus. Skip the stuffed Kulcha for $7.95, it was a small naan brushed with garlic butter. Far from the description of chilli paneer naan. Overall, not a complete horrible experience but won't be ordering again.
We had lunch buffet here & it was a nice, quick, tasty meal. You have staples like butter chicken, tandoori chicken, chickpeas, beef curry. The quality isn't as good as the order menu, but I wouldn't expect it to be. The naan bread here is so much better than the Dorval location à la carte version. Not charred to bitterness with good taste & a hint of spice.
We were just driving through & decided to stop there. We will definitely be back! The food was excellent & generous. Best paneer I've ever had! Naan was so fresh & hot & buttery. Prices were surprisingly low! Server was a sweetheart.

Tried takeout for the 1st time. Excellent service. Ready in 20 minutes as promised. Food was delicious as always. Good-sized portions with portions for the main course large enough to satisfy even a healthy appetite. Prices remain reasonable. The Vegetable Pakoras were crispy & very tasty, the Butter Chicken was creamy with loads of chicken & enough sauce, the Naan bread was fluffy & buttery, & the Gulab Jamoon was a sweet finish for dessert. Also recommend the Mango Lassi.
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.
