| - There are a few Indian restaurants in the Old Port, Gandhi being the most well known. Too bad, because Mirchi (Place D'Youville) is way better.
The decor is open and elegant - almost classy, the way an expensive restaurant should be. Nice tablecloths, fair decor, good lighting. It's a good date place and gives the illusion of upper echelon dining.
The service was fine the night I went, but I've heard mixed reviews, not only on Yelp but also from friends who have gone. Depends on whether the owner is there, I guess. Anyways, it's no Taj, but service is generally acceptable.
The food is good. Nothing special, just fair. We had about 5-6 dishes, and the taste/size was fairly predictable. I don't know what else to say, if you blindfolded me and told me I was at Atma I wouldn't argue. It's definitely a cut above those Friday-night bombs like Bombay Mahal and Dev, but you're paying at least 3 times more. I'm not sure if the fact that one of the owner/chefs is a white French Quebecer has anything to do with it, but I wasn't that impressed.
Do yourself a favor - go to Mirchi instead.
