“ Vegetarian combo for two. It is good. We like it. The thing served hot and good amount. I like the orange colour one, it is cheese. Can't remember what is the name. The service is good. Thry have lunch buffet on the weekdays from 1130am to 130pm. For 10.95...and this combo we had is 29.95 including appetiter, three curries, rice and nan bread and the dessert and tea. We are not the fan of the dessert. It is super sweet. We also like to order delivery. ”
“ Directly from the West Island this Pakistani family decided to open a restaurant in the heart of trendy Tetreaultville! Aunty Jasmine is adorable always wearing her beautiful saris! They make you feel so welcome and the Pakistani/Indian food is one of the best in the island of Montreal. A must try place. You won’t regret it. Please keep bringing Bollywood music. They started to offer a buffet at noon. I need to drop by. Look at the pictures. ”
“ The food was amazing and the service was great, the woman working there is sweet! ”
“ The BEST Indian/Pakistani restaurant in the east end! They take cash, so be prepared in advance. The owner is very sweet which made the experience all the better. They also have a Halal certificate. Will definitely be coming back! ”
“ Wonderful restaurant. Go just for how kind and sweet the woman who owns it it. The food was super tasty, properly spicy and well balanced. An elevated Indian food dining experience. I personally especially enjoyed the table settings with white table cloths and beautiful cutlery elegantly placed. The food has reasonable portion size and very well priced. This restaurant is a little out of the way but absolutely worth the trip. Get the mint yogurt sauce on the side for deliciousness but also if you need a helper with the spicy dishes. **cash only but there’s an ATM at the bar next door if you need it! ”
“ My favorite Indian and Pakistani restaurant so far on East of Montreal. The owner and staff are so nice and friendly. The combos are the best choice for 2 person. it's really delicious and well combined. ”
“ Who knew that there would be a good Indian/Paki restaurant in the east side of the island? Look no further, but here! Delicious food and generous portions, peaceful and well decorated atmosphere and of course, heartwarming service! Very flavorful dishes! Adjustable spiciness level, would definitely come back to try the other dishes! Recommended if you're in the area! ”
