I wouldn't change a thing about Sana's sketchy front façade because that would make longer wait times in what is already a hugely popular restaurant among local Pakistanis. I was the only non-South Asian patron when I entered the door and was immediately greeted with the scent of great spices (picture the air inside Pho Lien, except the aroma's authentic/no MSG). I took the Chicken Tikka Boti (grilled boneless chicken served on a sizzling plate) with their regular and whole wheat naans. The chunky pieces of chicken was so tender you could pull pieces off with a fork. The fumes from the sizzling aren't just for show - bite into the meat and the exquisite blend of spices brought out by the grill will overwhelm both in taste and aroma. It's a bit on the salty and piquant side and for the better, because what underlies the piquant is the aromatic spices of cumin and lemon marinade which puts American style spicy to shame. The breads were below average - the regular naan was fluffy but not crispy and tasted too much baking soda, and the whole wheat naan was almost a warm pita. They're only $0.99 a piece.
One of the reviews here sums it up pretty well: "Hidden gem, small tiny place, with no customer service. BUT cheap, AMAZING food"
Paid: $14 + tip (used a 15% RestoMontreal.ca coupon), they take debit
Rating: 4/5 for now
It's a sure repeat with a potential for a 5 star.
