Absolutely loved this place! It's a vegetarian restaurant & their samosas were some of the best I've ever had. Great service & a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!
If you're looking for a great vegetarian dining experience, We Desi Restaurant is a fantastic choice. I recently visited & tried their Tandoori momos, Amritsari kulcha, & Dahi bhalla, & each dish was absolutely delicious. The momos were crispy & flavorful, the kulcha was perfectly stuffed & paired well with the chole, & the dahi bhalla was soft, fresh, & well-balanced in flavors.
Next, The sweets! Every dessert I tried was outstanding, with just the right amount of sweetness & authentic taste.
Beyond the food, the ambiance is inviting & well-maintained, making it a great spot for both casual dining & family outings. The staff is courteous & attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience from start to finish. Must visit place if you are in Montreal.💯
I am very happy to have found this restaurant so close to home! I have tried numerous Indian restaurants in the past few years & most have disappointed with bland & similar taste - lacking originality & probably using low quality, pre-made spice mixes (I say this because I have also tried to cook with those spices & noticed the similarity). WeDesi is a whole new experience! While I used to prefer non-vegetarian Indian food, I have now come to love the vegetarian dishes offered here & feel like I'm on a culinary journey every time I eat at this restaurant. I have tried numerous dishes & my absolute favorite are their curries! Every single one I've tried is well-balanced & bursting with original flavors! My best choices are the Palak Paneer & Dal Tadka. The Chole Bhature is also fantastic & tastes very fresh! Rasam was a fiery, flavorful & most unique experience, having never eaten that before & it had an instant positive effect on my whole body, one has to try to understand! Naan bread is very tasty & balanced. Paranthas are all delicious & each type offers unique flavors! My whole family, including kids, are crazy about this food. We are not Indian & for a 9 year old to eat so much of this new, spicy food & to ask for more, it means that it's really good! The sweets are out of this world! They use real ingredients & make them right! I have also tried other Indian sweets shops & really prefer the freshness & original flavors of the WeDesi ones! They do not skimp on quality. For example, I was eating Gulab Jamun & inside there were specks of real saffron. The first time I tried them, I asked for the young man's recommendation & he chose many delicious & different sweets that everyone enjoyed, even my mom who is conservative & not a fan of foreign cuisine! Inside the restaurant, the decor is modern, clean & authentic! Staff is friendly & attentionate. Sometimes they are very busy & wait times are long, but I don't mind, given the quality of the food. Everyone wants to eat there & it's understandable! Once there was an error & it was most generously corrected, apologies were offered. My only real complaint is that the prices are not updated on the website menu, which was a bit confusing at first & might deter new clients. All in all, I can honestly say that this is one of my top 3 restaurants to eat at. Congrats to the chef & to all the people working there!

The best indian restaurant in the town. Only vegetarian is a plus for us. Delicious food, friendly staff, clean & comfy space. We have visited many times since our friend recommended it.
I was on business visit & was looking for a good restaurant with options for Vegetarians. I was not disappointed with four dishes I tried. The food was good, portion size is good, price is also very reasonable but the best part was the service. They were a little busy leading to some wait time. But I was amazed how one person'Neha' managed every table so well & that too with a big smile.
It's a vegetarian restaurant! Everything about this place was amazing. We tried a variety of food & were not disappointed. The chat items are not to be missed. Their Raj Kachori & Amritsari Kulcha-Channa were one of my favorites. Malai Paneer tikka was very good too. The food overall was tasty but not overly spicy, which I love!
