L'ambiance était super & le service aussi, je crois que j'ai pas choisi le bon repas avec le poulet aux champignons. Tout le reste était vraiment bon, les entrées étaient excellentes & nos invités sont des réguliers!
I ordered takeout from skip. First order was cancelled 40 mins after it was accepted. Second time the order came but daal makhani seemed like watered down . I really was expecting better from this restaurant.
Based on their response to the review, I will try this restaurant once again. Thank you

It used to be good pizza to order out, now they put cheap cheese like all the other cheap places. Only the sauce was good. The bread ordinary & the ingredients were not fresh.
Nous sommes venus un Samedi en soirée & avons vraiment aimé l'endroit.
Malgré le moment, le restaurant était calme.
Nous avons pris la dégustation indienne & c'était parfait pour 2 personnes! Idéal pour goûter à plusieurs plats typiques (& un dessert).
Le service était impeccable aussi, très chaleureux.
Je vous recommande la partie indienne du menu, vous ne serez pas déçu!
Stopped by after climbing at Zero Gravite. It was late in the evening, 9pm ish, so not crowded at all. We were a group of three. We didn't need to wait for a table. We ordered plain naan, & a few dips. They all were tasty. I loved the veggie options more (e.g., the spinach). The lamb was good too. Chicken, I remembered it was a bit dry, not my favorite but the soup was good.

Visited this place around 12pm on a Thursday as we saw samosa chat on their menu. The food was delicious but the service was extremely slow. The servers didn't understand Indian palettes & was confused when we asked for extra sweet chatni that goes within the dish.
Overall the experience was okish in terms of service but the food was really good. Might give it another try when we are in Montreal next.
Delicious indian food that is well presented! This is one of the best vege indian food in town 🙌 Made with fresh ingredients & service is very pleasant!
I love the spot, it's such a nice place! I had an amazing service! I also had the degusation menu & it was amazing because i could've try many meal at the same time. I loved it!

C'est une véritable découverte de saveurs délicieuses & généreuses ! La nourriture est goûteuse & copieuse, avec des plats parfaitement équilibrés qui satisfont tous les appétits. Chaque bouchée est un régal, & on sent la qualité des ingrédients dans chaque préparation.
Le service est impeccable : le personnel est attentif, sympathique & veille à ce que chaque moment soit agréable. L'ambiance du restaurant est également très chaleureuse, ce qui rend l'expérience encore plus plaisante.
Un endroit à ne pas manquer si vous êtes à la recherche de bonne cuisine & d'un service de qualité.
Everything is delicious. The sauces are particularly rich & loaded with flavour. The one complaint would be that the lentil dish is consistently much too salty. You need to specify if you'd like the sauce to be very hot. Vindaloo dishes are pretty reliably so.
A group of us shared a bunch of different platters, all graciously prepared & served. It's located a bit far from the downtown core, but worth the detour. The waiter was great.

La nourriture était délicieuse & les portions plus que généreuses. Le service était aussi très bon. La serveuse était très gentille & nous a bien conseillé. J'y retournerais avec plaisir si j'étais dans le coin!
Durant plusieurs années c'était un restaurant excellent, des aliments frais,des portions généreuse,des prix raisonnables. Mais c'est 5 dernières années la qualité à nettement diminué & les prix augmentés.
Dans une toast avec une (1) tranche de fromage il y a plus de fromage que dans leurs pizzas.
Si vous commandez de la bouffe indienne assurez-vous de commander assez de pain naan pour tremper la sauce avec 4 Petit cube de viande.
