Not the fanciest Indian food but consistently hits the spot. I have had much worse Indian food in Montreal, in smaller portions, for twice the cost! The veg dishes are really nice.

I recently visited Thali Cuisine Indienne & had both the vegetarian & non-vegetarian thalis.
Vegetarian Thali:
Onion Curry: 10/10 ⭐ - Absolutely delicious & full of flavor.
Baingan Bharta: 9/10 - Smoky, well-seasoned, & very enjoyable.
Palak Paneer: 7/10 - Good, but could have had a richer flavor.
Served with rice & naan.
Non-Vegetarian Thali:
Chicken Curry: 10/10 ⭐ - The standout dish; perfectly spiced & very flavorful.
Butter Chicken: 7/10 - Decent, though it didn't stand out compared to the chicken curry.
Lentils (Dal): 7/10 - Good, but fairly average.
Served with rice & naan.
I'd definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for the onion curry, chicken curry, & baingan bharta. If you enjoy authentic Indian thalis with generous portions, it's well worth a visit. Overall rating: 8.8/10.

If you want quick Indian , went there 4 times. The value is unbeatable. For $15-17 you get a huge plate with rice, lentil soup, naan, & three curries & meal is filling. The butter chicken was really good & the bread too was fresh. Actually the food was consistent all the time. The place needs to be more cleaned, but still 4 stars.

Service was very confusing & the food was just OK. Won't be coming back here with all the other options for really great Indian food in Montreal. I had nausea after too but too early to say it's food poisoning. The flavours were just a bit off for my taste.

BEST INDIAN RESTAURANT IN MTL!

My friend recommend me this place & I'm so happy I discovered it! Amazing portions for the cheap thalis, 15$ for non vegetarian (2 meats, 1 veg) & 14$ for vegetarian (3 veg) exploding with aromas & spicy flavours. They are huge & come with rice & a huge fresh naan. The ladies who work there are super sweet!

I would recommend to get the lamb: it's sooo delicious that at my second time there I took twice of it for my non vegetarian thali that comes with 2 meats & 1 vegetable option that you can choose. YUM
