The flavours were ok. Nothing jumped out at me as mond blowing, but it was all very nice. The butter chicken was a little on the sweet side for me.

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!

Janani is a triple gem of a hole-in-the-wall! Here on the Victoria/Plamondon corridor of…read moreCôte-des-Neiges there are many South Indian / Tamil Sri Lankan restos to choose from. Janani is by far the most casual down home cookin' a person could ask for. When you step into Janani you feel as though you've been invited to supper at a friend's home. This truly is a friends with benefits situation. The benefit? Oodles and oodles of delicious and healthful and flavourful and piquant victuals to see you through the icy Montréal winter. I love the vegetarian thali. The dishes are constantly changing so there is always a vast array of choices to be had. You have to be a keener to get your hands on this food because it disappears super fast. If you're hankering for a vegetarian thali for dinner you should call ahead of time and ask them to save some food for you. Try the potato bonda and string hoppers as well! You'll be pleasantly delighted and your hunger will be satiated beyond belief. Enjoy!

Coconut Chutney here is good and authentic ... it was more watery than we expected . Other chutneys were just 2 stars. Biryani tasted more like pulav !!

Yay, a Kerala restaurant in Montreal! My husband and I had been missing authentic Malayali food…read more One fine day, we were just looking for a new place to try and a friend of ours googled for a malayali restaurant and there it was! Its a new place, only been open for a few months. Honestly, this South Indian cuisine deserves so much recognition because of the perfect blend of regional spices and ingredients. They have a big menu but we only tried their Kerala dishes. And I highly recommend trying their Kerala dishes. The first time we tried their food - it was very spicy, but the flavours were still on point. 2nd time we asked them to make it less spicy and I enjoyed the food even MORE! Kerala food is usually spicy, so ask for less spicy if you can't handle the heat. Our favourites are the Kerala chicken curry, parotta (very authentic), beef fry and the malabar chicken biryani. This place is a must try!

Great food and I look forward to my next visit!…read more I heard this place can get really packed, but we came around 6PM on a Tuesday night and it wasn't too bad. We were able to get seats and we stayed until closing - they did not pressure us to leave or to order more which was nice.

By now, it's no secret that Chand Palace is one of, if not the best spot in town for an affordable…read moreIndian thali. I've been going here for at least 5 years and I'll be the first person to tell you that the quality of the food has not diminished despite its newfound popularity among those outside of Parc Ex. I live in The Sud-Ouest and never regret making the commute out to indulge with my boyfriend or wow out-of-town guests who have never experienced the magic of a good thali. Let's dig into a typical visit to Chand Palace: it doesn't matter what time of day it is, there will always be a crowd already inside. Don't let this dishearten you. I promise it is worth the wait (and the line always moves fast!). Once inside, you'll be greeted with menus and on the house papadum to snack on while you make your decision. I recommend indulging in an order of pakoras or onion bhajis along with your main meal. It's a lot of food, and you'll have leftovers to bring home, but their deliciously crispy apps are not to be missed. The thali is always worth it, for lunch or for dinner (the price increases a bit at dinner time). You never know what dishes you'll get, but it makes every visit exciting -- and it's a great way to ensure you're always trying something new even if you fall into the habit of going to Chand for every occasion (guilty). My personal favourite is the shahi paneer. I've yet to find another Indian restaurant to make it so creamy and delightful! Every time I leave Chand Palace, I'm amazed by the quality-to-price ratio. I'm not exaggerating when I say you can take a group of 5 out to a dinner for under $75. This makes for a great economical trick when you want to treat your out-of-town guests to a delicious meal on you! Oh, and don't forget: Chand Palace is BYOB so make sure to stop in at an SAQ before making your way to Parc Ex (where the Depanneur wine is insanely overpriced).
