I've been going to this restaurant for almost a year now.
The tikka chicken roll is truly the most incredible sandwich ever. With fresh homemade naan, juicy chicken & the perfect spicy sauce, I haven't found anything like it. The place is cute & the staff is friendly. I've tried other things on the menu like the lamb curry & it is also delicious.
The only reason why I am giving it 3 stars is for the inconsistency. I've had 3 times that I waited more than 1 hour for an order of two sandwiches, & the restaurant was nearly empty. But I keep maintaining the thought that it is still more worth & tastier than going at McDo. As well as the importance of supporting small & local businesses. However, in the past few months, the rolls have been a'hit or miss' experience. Sometimes it was missing ingredients, like the onions for example.
The other day I ordered through UberEats for my whole family to enjoy & the naans had been swapped for a tortilla bread, the sizes were almost half of its usual & the sauce was different (tasted more like mustard). It was a big disappointment & drop in quality of what this restaurant had got me used to.
Small Indian restaurant with quick service & good food. The veggies were fresh, the naans were soft & fluffy, & the curries had the right level of spice. The restaurant was fairly empty on a Sunday afternoon. Might be more popular for dinners. Overall cannot fault the experience.

I recently visited this restaurant & it was an amazing experience. The food was incredibly delicious, fresh & beautifully served. The cozy atmosphere made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. A perfect place for food lovers I can say!! I definitely be visiting again!
Tru India delivers. The food hits the right flavours, fresh, well spiced, & consistent. The music adds a nice vibe without being loud or annoying. The staff is polite, quick on their feet, & they actually pay attention to what you need.
As someone who grew up eating Indian food, I was impressed by how authentic the flavors were here. The spices were spot on, the naan was fresh, & the food tasted just like home. Definitely my go-to spot when I'm craving real Indian comfort food.
Okay… I don't usually write reviews, but this place seriously blew me away.
We ordered butter chicken, soya tandoori chaap, samosa chaat, cheese naan, & paneer tikka-& honestly, every single thing was INCREDIBLE.
The butter chicken was rich & comforting, not overly sweet like some places. The soya chaap was smoky & tender-I almost forgot it wasn't meat.
Samosa chaat hit all the right notes: crunchy, tangy, & addictive.
That cheese naan? Just wow-cheesy in the best way, not greasy or heavy. It was so unexpected !!
& the paneer tikka was some of the softest, freshest paneer I've ever had.
You can tell the food's made with care. No shortcuts. No nonsense.
Totally worth it-& I'm already craving it again.
Had the lamb vindaloo, malai soya chaap, & Amritsari kulcha !& wow, everything just hit the spot.
The lamb vindaloo had the perfect kick, the chaap was super soft & creamy, & the kulchas were fresh & so satisfying. Sizzling platter
Honestly didn't expect it to be this good. Definitely a must try
Great Experience!
A truly pocket-friendly restaurant with very reasonable prices on both starters & main courses. Portions are generous & SO FILLING you get full plates that leave you more than satisfied.
We tried the chicken tikka & paneer tikka rolls (wraps) both were packed with flavour & perfectly cooked filled with house sauces & fresh veggies! Unbelievable how filling it was
The rose lassi & mango lassi were refreshing & authentic.
Special mention to the garlic naan, honestly the best in Montreal! Can't believe the quality & taste at these prices. Very Budget friendly for everyone !!
Highly recommend!
The most authentic Indian food I've had in Montreal in the past 2.5 years!
Absolutely amazing, every dish bursts with flavor & feels like a taste of home. Some items I simply can't get enough of, the rich & creamy butter chicken, the perfectly spiced malai soya chaap, the fresh & tangy dahi puri, & the classic gol gappe that hit just right.
The paneer lababdar & paneer tikka are full of depth & cooked to perfection, & don't even get me started on the cheese naan, soft, cheesy, & incredibly satisfying. Pair it all with a refreshing salted lassi, & it's truly a complete experience.
It's absolutely worth every penny. A must-try spot, & I'm sure once you visit, you'll find yourself coming back again & again!
