Salateen is described as a halal Indian restaurant with a wide menu and consistently strong flavors, where items like biryani, lamb karahi, chicken tikka masala, nihari, dal chana, and tandoori shrimp receive praise for depth and tenderness, and naan and garlic naan are highlighted as especially good. The food is noted for freshness and solid cooking, not overly spicy, with generous portions and good value for money, making it a reliable option for families and groups. The atmosphere is described as cozy and clean, with friendly, attentive staff and quick service that enhances the dining experience. While most reviews are glowing and repeatedly recommend Salateen, there are mentions of a disappointing chicken biryani that was oily and lacked aroma, and some concerns about packaging and plastic use that could be addressed. Overall, Salateen is seen as a top choice for flavorful halal Indian cuisine, inviting repeat visits from locals and visitors alike.
Went to Salateen with my family & loved it! The food was delicious with plenty of options, service was quick, & the staff was super friendly. Definitely a place we'll go back to!!

JUST GOT THEIR CHICKEN BRIYANI & WAS TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED BRIYANI HAD NO FLAVOR NO AROMA JUST TOO RICH IN OIL & IN 11$ TWO CHICKEN PIECES WERE ADDED THAT TOO SEEMED ADDED FROM CHICKEN CURRY CHICKEN TASTED DIFFERENT LIKE CURRY & RICE NO TASTE AT ALL EVEN IF BRIYANI SPICES ARE ADDED YOU GET THE TASTE AROMA ETC WILL NEVER RECOMMEND BRIYANI TO ANYONE FROM THEM CHICKEN ROLL WAS AVERAGE .
I have been stopping by this place for about a year. No words to describe their food & service. Hussein, the owner is a great guy. Both, food & service, IMO, are a SIX out of five. I will never stop going there.
I was flabbergasted by how good their lentil soup - it may have been the best I ever tasted, & I've tasted a boatload of those.
Their fish pakoras were also some of the best ! The quantity of those were a bit less than other restaurants though to be fair I dont remember how much I paid for them though it may have been fairly priced. The accompanying minty spicy yougurt sauce was so good, I kept dipping my naan in it & applied it to other dishes.
Their Lamb was so delicious, it was incredible. I loved the amount of vegetables, the spices, the tenderness & the overall flavour. The stew/sauce was a little too oily for my taste though.
Their rice was perfect & not too oily.
Their Garlic Naan was very crispy & delicious. it was a bit on the fluffy side & I would have preferred it if it had a stronger garlic flavour but it was still excellent.
We tried the tandori shrimp & that thing was top-notch. It was so flavourful & it came with lots of vegetables sizzling a hot iron cast, it was delicious.
I asked to not have coriander in the food & they were very accommodating, I much appreciated that !
Je suis aller plusieurs fois avec ma famille & à chaque fois tout autant content du service & de la nourriture, une des meilleures options halal pakistanaise à Montréal !!!
