| - I went on a Sunday night with my family for my birthday (because Indian food gives me life) and b o y was it crowded. Especially because we were a group of 4, we had to wait for around 20-30 minutes. I recommend reserving a seat or going on a non-peak timing, when I last went there on lunchtime on a weekday, so I got to enjoy all the good food without the wait at all.
The food here is always really good, I had the palek paneer and the vegetarian thali the last time, which was awesome (the palek paneer was one of the best ones in Montreal in my humble opinion) but I got out of my comfort zone and ordered different dishes this time. As the appetizer, we got a pani puri, which was so nostalgic since I used to have it in Malaysia. However, they don't have enough of the potatoes for the filling, which was kind of sad. It wasn't as spicy as I hoped for it to be as well. It was still really good though. We got a tikka paneer masala, chana masala, and chicken curry (for my non-vegetarian family) for the entrees. The tikka paneer masala was phenomenal, I dream of it till today. It's the perfect combination of sweet and salty for me and it satisfied my Indian food craving instantly. The chana masala wasn't too special for me, especially after the tikka paneer masala. My family liked their curry chicken too. The price was quite reasonable too, I believe it was less than $60 and it fed my family very well.
The service is quick and friendly, which is impressive since it was such a busy time. I also thought it was really smart that they had this carpets that would guide the waiters and waitresses when they bring stuff to the tables. You'll know what I mean when you see it.
The ambience is a mix of casual and cozy, especially with the people talking not too loudly. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this restaurant to Indian food lovers. It's family-friendly, BYOW, and has awesome food! (Bring your own wine opener though!)
