Considering the Indian options in Parc-Ex, Atma is not my first choice for Indian in Montreal. I came here with two friends last week for a casual dinner. First of all, the ambiance may work for some people but for me it was very off putting- the lighting was so dim I wondered what they were trying to hide. Also, the pillows on the banquette were disgusting. The zebra- printed plush cases don't seem to have been washed in decades. Onto the food- the chana samosa is good and as expected. The Chicken Madras was fine but not the best I've had- could have greatly benefited from a squeeze of lime and some coriander. The palak paneer was decent. However, we requested the food be prepared 'properly spicy' and it really wasn't- it also didn't help that the waiter asked maybe five times if the food was spicy enough. Skip the naan- way overpriced and not great.
While Atma is passable, I would not recommend it given the other dining options in the area. And please, turn up the lights!!!!!!
