This place used to my favorite cheap eats Indian in town. The food is reliably tastey and the BYO aspect is a plus for sure (grab good beers and Marche D'Afrique down the road).
HOWEVER, a few years ago, they expanded their dining room and lost all quality control. The meat to sauce ratio is now so low that the last time I went I had three (THREE) tiny morsels of chicken in my entire dish. And we weren't even drinking (See Dean A.'s review for more info on that one)! Now, I go across the street to Maison Indian Curry House were I usually get 5 - 8 morsels per dish. Still pretty stingy, but better by a long shot.
What the hell happened to Indian being a great value for the $? Sure, the prices have stayed roughly the same, but the amount of food has tapered off significantly. And I really hate to pay for rice. That's just cheap.
My overal verdict of Indian in Montreal (having eaten at eight or so different places on multiple occasions) is that the food is just decent, is no longer a good value, and that the owners pay little attention to the notion of eating as an "experience." I'm not referring to pretense or fancy presentation, but just some pride in the damned product would be nice. The city is ripe for a new contender.
Rating Scale:
1 Star: Avoid the town in which this place is located just to be safe.
2 Star: With so many great places to choose from, why risk this one?
3 Star: I'll try it again or consume here in a pinch.
4 Star: I go here regularly if financially and/or calorically feasible.
5 Star: I look forward to taking my wife or friends here.
