1450 Rue Crescent — Downtown Montréal
Tandoor, curries and biryani from chefs trained in five-star Indian hotel kitchens — a few steps from McGill and Old Montréal. Halal throughout, with vegetarian and vegan on every page of the menu.
Signature dishes
Everything is cooked to order with fresh ingredients and recipes we have not changed in twenty years. We were among the first in Montréal to put kurkuri bhindi and cauliflower Manchurian on a menu.
Tandoor chicken folded into tomato, butter and cream. Served with basmati.
Chickpeas simmered dark and tangy, finished with ginger and coriander.
Broccoli, peppers and squash off the skewer, with mint chutney.
Cashew and cream, mild and fragrant. The one to order for the table.
Marinated overnight, charred hard in the tandoor, out fast and hot.
Baked on the wall of the tandoor and carried straight over. Order two.
Full menu, lunch specials and the drinks list are all online.

The full experience, at one price, with the same kitchen and the same ingredients as the à la carte menu. Nothing about it is a buffet compromise.
The room
Hand-carved pillars and antique doors shipped over from India, rattan lanterns, deep red banquettes and a brass Buddha behind the bar. It is a genuinely good-looking room to be in on a dark Montréal evening.

Groups & private events
Upstairs is a private room that seats up to 70, with menus we build with you rather than hand to you. Birthdays, office parties, cocktail receptions, wedding dinners. We also cater off-site, right down to a portable tandoor for outdoor events.
