wow just wow. we looked for a last minute indian restaurant (i was craving a butter chicken) let me tell you my expectations have been blown out of the water. that first bite with the cheese naan really made my dopamine go off. reaaaally recommend to anyone & i will come back (every week possibly) they cooked & we left no crumbs
Took take out order of paneer tikka masala garlic naan & paneer pakoda! I have never seen garlic naan in montreal like this was soft even after getting cold ! Paneer Tikka masala perfect spice level & no extra oil ! People need to try it !
Ce restaurant est parmi les meilleurs (si ce n'est pas LE meilleur) restaurants indiens où j'ai été. J'ai été vraiment agréablement surprise par les saveurs riches des plats, y compris de ceux végétariens & végétaliens. Le service fut courtois & vraiment sympathique, & nous avons même eu droit à un biscuit gratuitement ! Ce qui fait que l'endroit est encore plus exceptionnel, ce sont les prix face aux saveurs si incroyables! Pour mon amie & moi, ça nous est revenu à 20$ chaque pour 2 gros bols de Dalh & de légumes dans une sauce au beurre incroyable, pour deux types de pain naan (au beurre & nature), & pour un gros bol de riz. Franchement j'ai même déjà hâte d'y retourner! Autre bonus: on nous a demandé le niveau de piquant que on voulait, & c'était très bien balancé ! Il y en a donc vraiment pour tous les goûts & c'est super personnalisé ! 10/10 je vais définitivement y retourne
I visited this place twice & really enjoyed the food. I tried naan, shahi paneer, & dal makhni - everything was tasty & satisfying. The prices felt a little on the higher side, but the quality & service made up for it. I'd love to see more variety on the menu, maybe adding dishes like pav bhaji. Overall, great service & I'm looking forward to visiting again!
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.
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!
Tried the butter chicken, garlic naan, & biryani & honestly, SO good! The flavors were spot on, portions were generous (you won't leave hungry), & the service was super friendly & fast!!!!!
Butter chicken was creamy & full of flavor, the garlic naan was soft with that perfect garlicky punch, & the biryani hit all the right notes! Portion sizes are very generous also
Definitely coming back , this place knows what they're doing! 🙌🔥

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.
The butter chicken was so good ! So flavourful!! & the cheese naan was good too. Not to cheesy , a perfect balance. The server was really kind & thoughtful, he even offered us free vegetable rice (the yellow rice) on the house🙏🏼
Everything was good. The butter chicken & the cheese naan matched perfectly together. The samosas was very flavourful & the sauce that comes with it too. The staff was very friendly & they gave us free rice. I will definitely comeback. The food is really good & the service is perfect.
