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.
Loved the vibe of this place, amazing food & service. The staff is extremely friendly & the food brings out the nostalgic memory of back home. Highly recommend!!!
Worst food I ever had in Montreal. I ordered chicken tikka masala, first of all it was too too sweet & I want to know who puts Capsicum in chicken tikka masala. I have always seen Capsicum in kadhai chicken or chicken do pyazza. & the ambiance & table cloth was too smelly. If you are desi please don't go there.
I went to get takeout from there, staff was super friendly & accommodating. I really wish I could've left a tip. The food tastes absolutely amazing & was really filling. The food was also very hot when it came out the kitchen. Can't wait to eat there again!

We ordered multiple dishes - the eggplant, lamb rogan jhosh, chicken korma, spinach paneer etc. I like how they let you pick your spiciness level - we went medium on everything & it was just right. Some Indian restos are drifting towards adding sugar in most recipes, like the'Chinese' restaurants, but thankfully TruIndia keeps it real (& unsweetened!). Thanks for a great dinner!
