Amazing! I would rate it 6 stars if I could. My friend & I both got platters of about 2 kinds of meats, rice, naan, a veggie dish & a lentil dish + samosas, & it was incredibly delicious!

So, we've now sampled the entire menu over a few weeks.

& the verdict is out: it is very meh. But thankfully they aren't the only brown spot in the area anymore.

The naan is somehow burnt & raw. Like thawed uncooked chapati.
Rice is nothing to write home about, but edible.
The veggies & legumes are all just fine.
The desserts…. a-ok.
The beef tastes like bark.
The lamb is ordinary.
The chicken is very good.
But the butter chicken? I suspect their sauce's secret is Kraft Dinner powder.

It used to be very good (many years ago). Not sure what happened! We would order often in the past & were never dissatisfied, what a shame.

Only thing worth something is the samosas! For 1.75$, they are actually very good & filling. Ideal for broke students!

I'm giving an extra star for the very clever comment replies that the management leaves! Pure snotty gold! But seriously, don't go there. We have so many alternatives now.

A flavour of India!! Loved their food. You'll get roti, nan, samosa, chicken curry, lamb curry, paneer, fuchka, snacks, what not!! Quality & quantity both are good. Good for a takeaway/ dine in, they are super quick in food delivery.

Thali is my go-to for Indian street food. I always get the non-vegetarian thali with butter chicken, palak paneer, & lamb curry-but the vegetarian options are just as good! I also love their garlic naan & samosas, & the staff is always super friendly.

I've been going to this restaurant since it opened, & it continues to be great. Delicious food for a very reasonable price. I particularly like the palak paneer & the chana samosa. The place itself is serviceable & not fancy, but the food is good enough I often bring friends visiting from out of town here.

Had a great experience. Everything was very fresh & delicious. Must try Indian restaurant in town. Specially there samosas are best in whole Montreal. Will visit again for sure & will recommend everybody near & dear.

These are the best , most filling, absolutely delicious samosas I've ever had & will ever have. When I crave them nothing can stop me from getting them. It has become my tradition & my religion to enjoy this delightful food every two weeks. For anyone giving this restaurant less than 5 stars. I don't really comprehend your thought process.
