Ordered food for take out and it was just ok. The chicken tikka masala was moist but the sauce was bland and was missing spice. I also ordered the channa samosa which was a mistake because it's obvious they don't care about take out. They added the channa to the samosa as well as the chutney and yogurt all in one container so by the time I got home it was just a container of hot mess. The chutney was way too sweet and ruined the channa and because they put it all together, the samosa basically disappeared into it, was very soggy. Also the chickpeas were undercooked so not really impressed with them. Honestly the best part of my meal was the rice. Even the naan bread was bland and very chewy. I give it the 3 stars because the person taking the order over the phone was very pleasant to talk to, otherwise I would've given it lower

Went after ;lunch time, did not get a friendly welcome, no music, food was recycled tandoori chicken, chicken tikka was desert dry. Shish kabab was okay. Naan was excellent but does not make up for the rest. There are many Indian eateries within 15 minutes, more economical and with far superior taste. Not returning there again.

Although it is small and local this place is a really surprising discovery. Me and my wife ordered from this place several times now and we were always satisfied. Flavours were on point and service is very friendly.

I had an issue with an order and when I called to complain, the man on the phone was very rude and wouldn’t let me speak. They cancelled part of my order and didn’t want to admit it. So no naan bread tonight. Terrible service and yelling at a client over the phone isn’t going to help their business!

We went for lunch, and we both ordered butter chicken. I found it a bit sweet. I would try the vegitarian next time because the dal was the best.

Best Indian food in the region. The price is good and you get a rebate if you pick up your order.If you plan to eat there, it is a being your own wine place. But I would not recommend to stay there since the ambiance is not incredible.When you call to pre-order, you will most likely have to order in English.Everything I tried was good! I love their mango chutney and the fried onions.

Nice little restaurant. Food was good and well spiced. The portions we're generous. We took the Indian tea to finish it off and it was very good. The only down side was maybe the price. Maybe with the 10% off on takeout orders, we would have manage to keep it in a good price range...

Stopped in for lunch. A very reasonably priced tray of Lamb, chicken leg, rice and vegetables. Comes with a fresh Nan bread and a canned soft-drink. The food was hot (temperature) and well seasoned. It was mild in terms of spices but great. I felt I made a good choice and would return. Friendly service as well.

Excellent food! The lunch specials are affordable and filling! I would definitely recommend visiting during lunch. The only reason I give 4 stars is that the incense smell is too strong.

Not impressed, spend 60$ for very small portion lacking spices and burnt Naan bread.

Small portions of food taste is great but I felt like my food was half eaten. Also the rice was a little bit dry

I've eaten there twice now, the first time was ok but everything was overspiced and I love spice, even the dal soup was spicy? Two years later I get some take out and it's beond terrible Madras chicken has zero hotness to it was extremely watery and honestly tasted like it was just filled halfway with water. Dal soup samething, only thing I enjoyed was the nan bread.

Horrible food. They water down everything. Add sugar in everything. Overly priced. This is coming from an Indian who eats Indian food every day. This does not compare to any of the indian restaurants in the west island or downtown. Disgusting.

The food here is TERRIBLE and extremely over priced. I have tried their food on three different occasions and each time was worse than the last. The portion sizes are so small. We once ordered daal makhani and I can swear it was not more than 5 tablespoons. On the menu they advertise home delivery within a certain radius but 2 out of the 3 times they did not have any staff to deliver.Those of you who like this place have definitely not tried other Indian restaurants yet.

This is the worst Indian restaurant ever, and does not even meet the minimum rating, i gave it a star just to allow me to post this review.I spend almost 35 dollars in this restaurant and the food is like garbage. I am frequent traveler and have never tasted an Indian food this bad.I will never return to this restaurant ever, being an Indian myself this restaurant is a disgrace to claim as an Indian restaurant.I would rate this restaurant as the worst in Montreal and could not figure out why people have voted 4 stars for this restaurant. In fact i called the restaurant and complain to the owner and he was not happy about my feedback. Folks go to Wendy's next door where their food is 100 times better than this garbage.

Onion bhaji was good. Naan was good. Otherwise, we did not like the food (samosa, sauce, matter paneer, chicken tikka masala).

If you are looking for some really good Indian food. This is the place. Their nans are great. My favorite is their lamb korma if you like it sweet. We have tried many different dishes and seriously everything is good. Prices are reasonable. Friendly staff. Service is fairly quick if the restaurant is not full. Lots of people get their food to go partly because the decor is just so so, I guess. You don't go there for the ambience (hence the 4 stars). Bring your own wine.

What's wrong with this picture? One piece of butter chicken and tandoori drumstick for 15$. I looked inside and thought someone ate part of the meal. It turns out the owners are just cheap. I understand trying to scrimp and save... too bad it's a restaurant and they were trying to make an extra buck. I give 2 stars as I assume it might taste ok based on the 4 star review. Honestly, even the look does not seem appetizing. Losing customers is the owner's way.

Always a good meal. Tandoori anything is usually a great choice, the naan is great when warm, and the okra is really something special. Their shrimp are quite good in a variety of flavors, and although I have never tried any of their meat dishes, those i know who do partake in the eating of mammals in this establishment usually rather appreciate it! I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a very satisfying meal. Not to mention it's a great place for takeout.
