Customers describe Salateen as a welcoming, family-friendly spot with a broad menu of fresh, flavorful halal Indian-Pakistani dishes and great value, with standout items like biryani, haleem, kebabs, chicken karahi, nihari, and garlic naan receiving frequent praise for bold yet balanced flavors and generous portions. The Ramadan or iftar buffet is often highlighted as a highlight, and the staff are repeatedly noted as friendly, attentive, and accommodating, contributing to a warm atmosphere and quick service. While the majority of reviews are glowing, a few mention inconsistencies such as a chicken biryani that was oil-heavy and lacking aroma, and concerns about packaging and oil separation in some dishes, suggesting room for tweaks in presentation and oil management. Overall, Salateen is viewed as one of the top options in Montreal for flavorful, affordable, and satisfying Indian-Pakistani fare.
Had an amazing Ramadan buffet experience at Salateen Restaurant in Montreal.For just $17 CAD the variety of vegetarian & non-vegetarian dishes was impressive.Everything was fresh,flavorful, & authentic.We loved so many items & the desserts were definitely the highlight.
Great atmosphere for iftar & very friendly staff.Highly recommended during Ramadan.

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 !
