Butter chicken, rice, tandoori chicken, salad and a vegetable portion. All were good. It was a good size and reasonably priced. I wanted to try the chicken Tikka Masal but I chose the Thali. Parking is complicated around here but the staff and food are worth the grief. PS.. unhappy ending to a good meal. They only take cash. I had to go next door to the bar for the ATM

It is a milk solid based sweet, traditionally made from curdled milk, soaked in a light sugary syrup flavoured with green cardamom and rose water. I am just addicted to this sweet. Who starts a review with desserts? Oops. I just did. This family run business does lunch buffet during weekdays. I dropped in on a Thursday lunch time, and it was busier than I had imagined. They serve chicken tikka, deep fried chicken, butter chicken, beef masala and a good variety of vegetable dishes like spinach, chicken peas, lentil soup, and of course naan bread, all mildly spiced to accommodate the local clientele. They also serve hot sauce, to bring the food at par with the traditional indian dishes. Good service and they take time to go over all the menu and to answer any of your questions. Of course, I have to finish off with the famous gulab Jamun. Sooo yummy good! Very well priced, and your wallet will thank you.

My wife and I were craving some Indian food while visiting Montreal and we saw Veranda had really…read moregood reviews so we wanted to try it! It's towards the top of Old Montreal so we had a nice walk to and from the restaurant. We were greeted by the host and sat down immediately. The restaurant inside was very pretty and had low lighting to make it look very intimate. I'd definitely consider Veranda a fine-dining Indian restaurant. We ordered the samosa tarts and malai chicken tikka from the appetizers and both were absolutely delicious! We also ordered mango lassi, butter chicken, and garlic naan (all automatic orders for us when we go to Indian restaurants) and none of them disappointed. However, we were a little disappointed that they didn't have a few menu items that we see back home or at other Indian restaurants like onion bhaji, pakora, biryani and tandoori chicken. The only complaint we had was the service wasn't that great. Our order was taken a few minutes after viewing the menu and the staff was very friendly but after we finished our appetizers, we felt neglected as other tables were served their food and we were waiting 25-30 minutes to get served our main dish. We had to let the server know that we were done our appetizers and ready for the main dish. I'm not sure if this is normal in Montreal or at Indian restaurants in Montreal? Other restaurants we were served our courses immediately one after the other, with maybe 5-10 minutes in between. It wasn't busy either for a Wednesday night where they only had 3-4 tables. Regardless, we would recommend Veranda to anyone craving Indian food who wants to eat in Old Montreal! The food is delicious!

Today, his son has taken over that role, and excels in both as well as his father did. Super friendly and kind, asked how we liked our food, and made it deliciously spicy as we requested (even altering the Thali to make sure the dish my wife wanted could reach the heat she was hoping for). It was really just an awesome experience period. We started with their pakora/samosa starter, which were fried perfectly and had very good chutneys, then we did one veg and one non-veg thali, all dishes in both were fantastic. The restaurant has a nice modern Indian vibe, clean and well maintained. Highly recommend if you're in Montreal and craving Indian!

They have quite a bit of variety on the menu and it was difficult to choose but I finally decided on the sampler platter and my mom ordered a dish with black chickpeas. The black chickpeas are typically spicy but they toned it down for her and it was perfect. My sampler had six small dishes and a dessert with rice in the middle. Every dish was better than the last and the dessert was perfect, not too heavy. The service was very attentive, friendly. The restaurant seems very clean and had a cozy and comfortable ambience. I'm no longer in Montreal, I will return here when I am back and I have already told my Montreal friends they must try this place.

Highly recommend this place if you are vegan and are looking for health Indian meal choices! Everything on our plate was delish!

The food quality was top-notch in terms of texture, taste, and aroma. I just wish the quantity was a bit more, but that might be because we were super hungry! I didn't manage to click photos of everything we ordered, but I would highly recommend the Palak Methi Corn, Paneer Lababdar, and Pan Kulfi. Their butter naan and garlic naan were excellent too.
