| - The food is simply perfect, there is no better adjective for it, every dish is cooked to perfection and to order with level of spiciness.
The chicken Tikka Masala is their star dish, the chicken, onions and peppers are seared in heat before marinating in the sauce. Amazing.
Their other standout is the Biryani, a thing of beauty to behold and to taste.
I have taken 2 friends that used to eat the same dish cheaper at Saana across the street and they never went back to Saana.
The fish Pakora is incredible, the fish moist and fresh and the seasoning just rightly delicate.
I have been eating here since they opened about 12-13 years ago and have had EVERY single item on their menu, the only things i don't like is their curry ( too much tamarind) "chicken and cheese curry" (pieces are small) and spinach dishes ( not my style ).
There is better Naan bread out there too, it's just a 3.5 out of 5 so not a huge deal
They recently moved to a larger restaurant about a block away, butt their prices are still decent, it would be nice if they renovated a bit.
I take it to go 9 times out of 10, but the atmosphere and decor will leave some cold.
Malhi Sweet and Dera on Jarry have really stepped it up in that aspect, and the places on Jean-Talon have done some major renovations as well.
I still give it 5 stars,as those issues are very minor to me and it is an improvement over the old place.
