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!

A Taste of Home at Try India - Truly Authentic!
I visited Try India restaurant in Montreal today & had an amazing experience. The food tasted just like home - rich, flavorful, & made with love. What stood out the most was that everything was prepared fresh, right after we ordered. You could really tell nothing was pre-made or rushed. The quality, taste, & authenticity were top-notch, & the service was warm & welcoming too. If you're craving real, home-style Indian food, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!
My favourite restaurant in the Snowden area. Really great food. The fresh naan is absolutely exceptional, just the right mix of crispy on the outside & chewy on the inside. & one of the weirdly few Indian places in Montreal that has Onion Bhaji. Worth a visit.
Such a gem of a place!
The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was packed with flavor & felt so fresh. What really made the experience stand out, though, were the owners. Super friendly, welcoming, & genuinely passionate about what they do - you can feel it in everything from the service to the food. & the ambiance is so cozy, warm, & full of India vibes. Definitely going back!
There are several Indian restaurants on Queen Mary, but we've become loyal to Tru-India because it is by far the best in the area. The food is excellent & fresh, & they offer a wide variety of dishes. We recently ordered butter chicken, lamb korma, & palak paneer - & everything was simply delicious.
On top of that, we're always warmly welcomed at the restaurant, & the owner truly cares about customer satisfaction. We're regulars at this little gem, & we intend to stay that way.
Thank you for being there, Tru-India. I highly recommend it!
