Reviews describe WeDesi as a cozy, welcoming vegetarian Indian restaurant in Montreal with authentic flavors, a broad vegetarian menu, and good value. Dishes like Raj Kachori, chole bhature, Amritsari kulcha, tandoori momos, dosas, chaat, and a range of desserts are repeatedly praised for freshness, bold spice blends, and appealing presentation. The ambiance and service are highlighted as strong points, with staff described as friendly and attentive, though several notes mention slower service during peak times and occasional understaffing. Some reviews flag occasional inconsistencies such as burnt starters or bland gravies and smaller portion sizes for certain dishes, but the overall sentiment remains that WeDesi delivers high quality vegetarian Indian cuisine at reasonable prices and is a reliable go-to option in the West Island. Easy parking, a family-friendly vibe, Jain and vegan options, and a versatile menu add to its appeal for dine-in, takeout, and gatherings.
Absolutely loved my visit to restaurant. Ambience is the cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Every dish I tried was bursting with incredible flavors. The staff were warm & attentive, making the evening even more special.
Food was okish, taste was sweet for curry which is not acceptable. Tandoori momos where soft n blend in taste. Paneer tikka masala tasted sweet & just had 1 piece of green pepper & 1 piece of red pepper. Only things i liked where, ras malai, gulab jamun with rabdi n mango lassi
Loved the experience with wedesi & it's team especially the girl who was on front counter , Neha ❤. She was very friendly & accountable. The taste & authenticity was on point.
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!
We are a regular visitor on every Fridays & every time we are amazed by the quality of their food at such reasonable prices. & yes we tried some of their sweets- samosa roll yes kaju roll in the shape of samosa & their scrumptious ghewar, better than even India. Highly recommended 😍

This is good restaurant & very tasty & delicious food. I ordered many items. All things are good but specially vada pav & dosa. I loved it. Great service & atmosphere
I saw a lot of people are complaining about waiting time however I did visit there but didn't faced such a problem in contrary the staff was very friendly & the taste.
Tried WeDesi for the first time last night & it was FANTASTIC!! The food was amazingly delicious & lots of food for the cost. My partner & I did 3 appetizers with one main course & two delicious naans. We had to take 1/2 the main dish & one of the naans home with us as we stuffed. We will definitely be coming back on a future visit to the Montreal area!!
