The garlic naan was just naan. No garlic. No flavor whatsoever. After trying all of the previous items I bypassed the samosas. He was not happy with the meal and we ended up tossing it out.

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!

Combine the right mixture of spices with the right ingredients- and you get a perfect flavor explosion. Wow- I can't imagine a better dining experience.

We were served by Shaurya, and the entire dining experience was fantastic because of him. He was extremely warm, made us feel at ease, and gave some great suggestions for the main course. 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.

The lunch buffet had both vegetarian and non veg offerings. I took a picture of everything but the basmati rice which was good. The standout items would be the mulligatawny soup, the butter chicken curry, the tandoori chicken which was super tender and well spiced and the lamb curry which was perfectly cooked. For dessert they had three choices and I tried them all. Gulab jamon was nicely spiced and not too sweet with a firm crumb. And the rice pudding was standout delicious with large green cardamom pods visibly floating in the pudding. There was a melange of other spices too. It was very nice. I want to mention there were layered spices in all the food which is the mark of a good chef. The price was very reasonable at $30 cad. With tax it was $5 more. Perfect for a super fresh and delicious lunch. I could not eat all the offerings but what I had was all good. I did not like the samosas. Too much potato. And I would have liked more peas and spices. The fruit in the fresh fruit cocktail was fine and chilled in an ice bath.

I thought the garlic tandoori naan pretty good, but I REALLY enjoyed the yellow dahl tarka I ordered, as well as the samosas, and all the chutneys and sauces. The servings sizes are generous but not too much. We also had the paneer masala which was great. No complaints and I can't wait to return!

Before you order it, have a bucket of water standing by. Aside from that seriously delicious and seriously hot vindaloo, the chicken tikka masala was great, rice and nan terrific. I was puzzled by the channa samosas, though, because I thought samosas were a food you pick up and what I got was a big liquid mix of stuff, to be eaten with a fork or spoon. Bottom line, the food was generally delicious, the place is very much a hole in the wall, and I'll probably go back.
