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.
The waiter was very welcoming, friendly, attentive, & extremely polite. The atmosphere had pleasant background music, creating a wonderful vibe. The food was delicious - clearly prepared with great care & love. I highly recommend this place. An excellent experience. I'll definitely be coming back! :)
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!
Honestly, this dal makhni & Amritsari kulcha combo hit the spot.
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
The dal was super creamy & flavourful without being too heavy, & the kulcha was perfectly crisp with just the right amount of filling.
Felt like a proper, satisfying meal , nothing over the top, just really well made. Can totally see myself coming back for this again. Highly recommend ! I have tried many places in montreal but TruIndia serves the BEST INDIAN FOOD
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! 🙌🔥

Shakkar Parantha & Amritsari Kulcha : Best I've Ever Had in Montreal!
Absolutely blown away by the flavors! The Shakkar Parantha was perfectly crisp on the outside, buttery & full of authentic spices inside , just like home. The Amritsari Kulcha was soft, stuffed generously, & paired perfectly with the chutneys & chole.
Hands down the best North Indian street-style food I've tried in Montreal. Highly recommend to anyone craving real desi taste! Will definitely be back!
Highly recommend this restaurant for best Indian food in Montreal. Their Amritsari Kulcha is the best. Their portion size is good & every dish we ordered was delicious. Cherry on the top was their service! Overall, great experience!
⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? Hidden Gem for Authentic Indian Flavours in MTL!
We discovered Tru India Les Vraies Saveurs de L'Inde recently & were so impressed that we ended up visiting them twice in the same week. It's truly a hidden gem in Montreal for anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine.
The food is absolutely delicious, packed with flavour, served in generous portions, & very reasonably priced. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, & inviting, with a great music playlist that adds to the overall vibe.
The staff are extremely friendly, warm, & attentive. From the moment you arrive, you feel genuinely welcomed. The service was thoughtful without feeling rushed.
Pro tip: If you can't handle too much spice, make sure to mention it when ordering. They're happy to customize the heat level to your liking.
Highly recommend this spot! Can't wait for our next visit.
