I went here with a friend who had a gift certificate and we figured we'd give it a go. This place used to be called the Salon Rouge, which I believe used to be a French cuisine restaurant?... but that closed down in record time, even for the typical short restaurant life span in Verdun. Next thing you know, the Taj Mahal pops up in it's place. Except they didn't change anything but the sign... so don't let the gaudy Moulin Rouge-style décor throw you off, I swear it's Indian food and not a red light district brothel.
They offer a pretty good selection of appetizers, single dishes and combo meals for 1 or 2 people in both meat and veggie options, all priced very reasonably. Everything I had (veg) was tasty and my friend said the butter chicken was up to par in her books, although just short of mindblowing. My only complaint is the naan bread. They make the slightly sweetened variation of it, which was still good, but I prefer plain naan. However, a redeeming factor and saving grace was their cheese naan... I'm a sucker for fromage.
The staff were super friendly and attentive, like you-can-tell-they-are-a-new-restaurant-keener friendly, and were more than happy to wrap up our leftovers in doggy bags. They also do orders for pick up and take out and you can BYOW. Word of warning... the combos are A LOT of food. With a crispy toasted tortilla-ish thingy and chutney to snack on, an appetizer and then 2 dishes with rice... I didn't even make a dent in mine. So I might recommend just going with a single dish option if you go for dinner. If you order take out for two people a combo for one person will be more than enough food.
The mango smoothie drink. Just do it. In your mouthhole.
Although it still doesn't quite beat Mother India back in Toronto, it was delicious and I'd definitely go back if not just order in. Pretty stoked to have them in my hood.
