| - Nouveau Delhi Express, was, no doubt, the worst restaurant experience I've ever had in Montreal. As a person who really, really loves Indian food (it is my soul food), I was incredibly disappointed.
To start off, the taste of the food was terrible. I went with my family, so we ordered a set (which had 3 main dishes, rice, naan, and a dessert), chicken biryani, vegetable korma, and a paratha. After the first bite, we all had frowns on our faces because literally everything was unbelievably sweet. The paratha was also really thick and crumbly, which is not what it's supposed to look like. The worst was the vegetable korma, which was so sweet it could've been dessert. I called the waiter and complained to him, to which he said it's the way people like it here in Quebec (which I really, highly doubt). He then said he'll add more spices, as though that's going to make the dish less sweet. He then brought the dish to the kitchen, it was obviously, still sweet when he brought it back. I still don't see how spices could've "fixed" the sweetness of that dish. That was the worst, but the rest of the dishes (like butter chicken and even naan) were very sweet. The vegetable korma was just at the extreme.
They brought the wrong order for my sister and when I asked them to replace it, the waiter said, "This is good, you should try it," instead of apologising for his mistake. I had to firmly ask again for them to switch it to the right order. After all this very unprofessional service, the waiter still had the audacity to come up to us and ask us how the food was and tried to do small talk.
The entire experience was laughable now, but it was really unpleasant. I definitely will not recommend going here.
