We tried Didar for the first time last night. All in all, it was a solid meal. The vegetable pakoras were very crispy and tasted nice, the samosas were very well filled and tasty enough, I would happily eat them again. The breads (garlic naan, keema naan and chapati) were all fresh and delicious. The curries we tried (butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, palak paneer) were ok. Everything had a nice delicate heat. 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. read more

Great spice, great complex flavors, served nice and hot by caring staff!!! A very nice quiet atmosphere too. read more

Didar is my all time favorite restaurant, I must be going there for maybe 20 years when it was called still Dev. Their gravies and sauces are rich and thick not the watery kind. The portions ate BIG. They don't skimp on meat in their non veg dishes and use only the good quality cuts, not many bones either. The take outs are securely packed and easy to carry. The prices are beyond reasonable, in fact they should charge more. The staff is courteous. A hidden gem among some of the more known Indian restaurants in Montreal, but this one I feel is the only authentic one by far. read more

I visited Didar on a trip to Montreal. I just wanted Indian food, and it was nearby but I'm so glad I stopped by. The food was delicious, and the customer service was great. The waiters were kind and gave us recommendations of places to visit in the city. The portion size was also considerable, I had enough for leftovers. 10/10 experience. read more

Family owned and run business. I walked here late on a Saturday night and they were a bit busy. No wait and I was seated quickly. I was seated, and ordered from the owners son. He was very friendly, down to earth and spoke great English which was a plus for an American visiting Montréal. (I'm not good at French at all) I ordered paneer which is Indian made cheese that's fried. First time and was good paired with the red sauce they give you. Also ordered my favorite, chicken tikka masala. Paired it with side of rice and garlic naan. Yummmmm yummm yum. Good food, friendly staff and open later than a lot of other options in the vicinity. read more

ALWAYS great! My partner and I absolutely love Didar. It is easily one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The orders are prepared fast and fresh. They even have $5 delivery if you don't want to leave your house to pick up your dinner. The staff is always incredibly polite and kind. Didar is 10/10 in food and service. Highly recommend! read more

This place gets better every single time. I've been coming here for a while now and I can't get enough! The value is amazing. Great quality Indian food for an appropriate price. Their butter chicken is incredible. It is jam packed with flavour and spices. It is a perfect meal on a wintery evening. The lentils are also delicious. They do not skip out on the portion sizes as well as the amount of actual lentils in the dish which is nice. The naan bread is incredible. There's always some crunch as well as some fluff to it. The texture is amazing. The chicken tikka was a new dish that I tried this time. It came out sizzling hot, full of steam. There were green peppers, onions and large portions of chicken. It was also delicious, full of great flavour. Overall, this restaurant is amazing! The staff is friendly and kind and the food is delicious. read more

After having come here 20+ times, it has become a much needed regular in my life. Consistency with Indian food tends to be an issue at some places but not here. Every time I come, I get fresh, hot and delicious food. Seriously the best value for good Indian food. I most often get the non Veg Thali (10$) with either Chicken curry or Butter chicken and either with Chana masala or lentils. I've tried many other dishes and have been amazed with the mix of flavour and spices. Some dishes that stick out to me is the Lamb vidaloo and the mango chicken. Both delicious. They also have the best naan I've ever had in my life. If you are vegetarian, they have extensive veggie options as well! The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable and casual. There are often families there and groups and it can get quite busy some nights. The BYOB aspect here is great as well. The locations across from Plamondon metro makes it easy to access. I have never ordered delivery but plan to during the winter months. There is a small fee but I'm sure that it is the same great quality! 5% off for pickups! I seriously can't recommend this place enough!! read more

Best butter chicken in Mtl , nice owners and waiters are kind and atmosphere is chill and quiet.

Worst experience, owner were insulting and lying After ordering online into their website, they overcharge me at the restaurant while prices indicated into website were lower. When I tried to tell them they should charge me the price indicated into their website they refused. Obviously they are not aware about customer law. More over the chicken butter was not super good, chicken was not tender. Do not go here, they will try to rip you off. Btw: if price on the website indicates one price you are obliged by law to apply this price. read more

Decided to go try some Filipino food on a Saturday evening, however, the restaurant was hosting an event and we were not able to eat there. Walked around Victoria avenue and stumbled across Didar. I must say we were truly impressed. I haven't seen such an eclectic menu in an Indian restaurant in such a long time. We ordered a variety of dishes ( butter chicken, beef vindaloo, tandoori chicken, okra, lentils, shrimp masala, etc...) and none of the dishes disappoint. The flavours were incredible and on point. The service was fantastic. It is a family run business and they do a great job in managing the night time rush. We need to head back there shortly as there were so many dishes we wanted to taste. I think it will take us at least 5 visits to try the entire menu and I am positive they will taste as good as our first time. You can savour the love they put in to each of their dishes. read more

While visiting Montreal and spending the whole day exploring this beautiful city. We decided to get takeout as we were too tired to go out for dinner. What a great choice this place was. We ordered chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. As well as pakoras and naan. Mmm mmm. It was all delicious and we enjoyed our food very much. The takeout portions were good too. read more

Didar is the perfect place for an affordable, low-key dinner on a cold night. It's a family-run restaurant near Plamondon metro and it's BYOB. I've now visited Didar five times. I really love this place because it never fails to impress newcomers. During my last visit, I ordered an assortment of delicious Indian food for the table: lentil soup, chana samosa, vegetable pakoras, chicken pakoras, four types of naan (plain, garlic, stuffed with chicken, stuffed with potato). The chicken pakoras and the garlic naan were our favourites. For our mains, we ordered a sizzling platter of chicken tikka, spinach stew, manchurian chicken, chicken tikka masala, mango chicken and jalfrezi chicken. Our favourite curries were the manchurian chicken (first time trying it and we were all impressed) as well as the chicken tikka masala (my go-to order), and the mango chicken (deliciously sweet and savoury). The service is always great. While it's on the slow side, the woman who owns the place is sweet and has her son working as a waiter. Because we ordered a lot, it ended up costing us $20 per person but we felt that was reasonable for the quality of the food. read more

Pushap? Cheap and greasy. Tanjay, not bad but I'm not sure why it didn't impress me. Le Taj? Great but overpriced. Didar? Boom! The sweet spot. So overjoyed today for finally finding this Indian place where they managed to bring the best, most deliciously prepared succulent dishes accompanied with friendly, aim to please attitude and all for a reasonable and fair price. Ok ok, Yelp and Yelp friends helped me a lot of course discovering this truly hidden gem. All the credits go to them and I thank them for their honest and just reviews. Kudos. We ordered Chana samosa, samosas, shrimp masala, lamb karahi, paneer saag, butter chicken, spinach, potatoes and chicken naan and rice. One is better than the next but got to say the lamb karahi was the star amongst today's choices. No funky smell or anything, fall off the bone tender juicy meat. Just amazing! A bit too much food for 4 where we got stuffed and had to ask to take the leftover home. When asked our spiciness level, we had to go between mild and medium. Not to my liking of course but had to be accommodating to the rest on the table. Sigh The place is not one of the best looking but it's clean, modest and has this authentic setting. Who cares about the looks? Once you start eating their super tasty food and the wine you brought with you, looks of the place won't matter. You're now indulged in gluttony ...Nothing else matters at this point my friend. Just dig in and enjoy the moment. I will most definitely come back and try the other goodies. This place is waaay up on my Indian resto list now. Number 1 for sure. Most likely will come alone at least once and ask them to make it extra spicy for me bcs my usual company are bunch of chicken with weak tolerance for spicy and hot food. I must've been an Indian in my previous life just bcs I love their food with their same tolerance level for spiciness. An amazing find indeed. read more

Unfortunately I have to take away a star to my favorite Indian restaurant. We were told 'sorry there's a man waiting for a table' aka 'leave' 10 minutes after our last bite of food.. And there's the fact that there were dirty tables that could have been taken care of so the man could have had his place. It is sad because one thing I really liked about this place is that they were not rushing their clients to eat fast like robots and then leave like the ones on jean talon/acadie but it seems they are starting to follow the trend as well :( Hopefully it won't happen again read more

I had the butter chicken thaali and it was delicious. Fresh and their Naan is the best! Loved it. It's usually so affordable and it fills you up. Would definitely recommend it. read more

Update (June 2018): I've been back and what I left out from my first review continued again. I'll update this later. I hope they realize that most brown South Asians understand What they're saying in Punjabi because we've grown up watching Bollywood movies all our lives not to mention the fact that our parents also speak Hindi very clearly because our countries were once emerged and considered one single country. read more

We drove by here the night before and it was packed. We figured what the heck, give this mysterious Indian restaurant a try and we were so glad we did. I definitely recommend making a reservation as the place was packed. It's a family-run business and we enjoyed how they seemed to know many of the clients. The dahl soup was ok but we found it too liquidy. The tandoori fish, butter chicken and saaq paneer were absolutely terrific. We had a side order of rice and garlic naan bread and brought our choice of wine. The setting was ok but food and service were great and prices are very reasonable. read more

I visited Didar for dinner on a quiet Wednesday Evening. There were a few group of people enjoying their dinner and a steady stream of take out orders coming in and out so it seemed like a good sign. We ordered an entree of veggie pakora, Butter Chicken, Saag Lamb and a Chickpea Chana with two garlic naan bread. Everything was hot, fresh and very well seasoned. I will definitely be back to try other dishes! read more

I had alot of doubt as the food in Montreal has been extremely bland, and in extremely small portions. I figured...aye if it sucks... i'll deal with it. I was given the menu and saw that the items listed the ingredients (which isn't really common in most indian spots that ive visited). We ordered the Chicken tikka masala and the mango chicken, along with garlic naan. This is the best Indian food that i've ever had in my life so far. In most western European countries, the chicken tikka masala are stew based. In the US, it's very cream based. THIS had the perfect mix of cream (35%) and stew. Robust flavor in each bite. The Garlic Naan, with actual diced garlic cloves, was PERFECT. It was so soft and tender, while have a crispy edge. The price was also reasonable. I'm extremely happy to this place for preventing me from giving up hope for properly seasoned and DELICIOUS food in Montreal. read more

A friend of mine kept insisting to go to this place. I went after a few years. I was highly disappointed in the food. Everything is sweet and tastes highly americanfied Indian food but to a degree that it starts tasting bad. We ordered 4-5 different things and most of the stuff tasted the same. Don't recommend going here. read more

Ordered the Channa Bathura, basmati rice, tandoori naan, butter chicken, and beef korma. Everything was delicious. The curries were well spiced with deep flavours. The chicken was not dry and the beef was really tender. Soaked up all the sauce with the naan and bathura. Service was good. The young man was quite polite. Will definitely return and try their other dishes. read more

Didar - Indian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

So unfortunate to have moved away from this part of the city. Had a serious craving for Indian food so we went on a little walk and found this restaurant. It was midday and we saw a sign for an AYCE buffet for what I think was $11.00 (no more than $12.00). We were a little wary being vegetarians and not knowing what would be offered but the staff was so welcoming and kind and showed us the whole spread so that we could decide. And after seeing what was offered we would be silly to have declined. The buffet included flavourful dishes both meaty and vegetarian, with an appetizer section including salad, samosas and naan that kept on coming. We were beyond satisfied with our small adventure here and are even planning on taking a trek to this side of the city just to enjoy this wonderful restaurant again. So to sum it all up: Flavourful filling food Extremely friendly staff Affordable prices read more

Terrible customer service. Argues with me on phone, rude. Then they got my order wrong and when I called back they hung up on me.

A family managed business. Cozy restaurant with a rich menu. Decent prices and quality Indian food. You could go mild or medium spice-wise. I did medium and loved it. Naan, lamb curry and dessert is all I had and almost no complaint. Indeed I would go more lean lamb instead. But it was ok. read more

Always friendly and helpful! The food is delicious! My favorite dish is a lentil soup and tandoori naan(flat bread)

I've tried several Indian restaurants in Montreal, and this is the best one. Great food at good prices. Hard to beat!

If you like spicy Indian food with true "Punjabi" flavors this is the place. Don't expect a fancy dine-in, just good food. Service is little slow so keep a lot of time in hand. Try for kababs, tikka's & freshly made naan bread. They accept credit card which is good as most place I have been in jean talon do not. read more

Came here with some friends from northern India. We all got the lunch buffet with a side of naan (obviously) and some additional kebabs. Everything was delicious. My personal favorites from the buffet were the paneer and the butte chicken, but they did also have lamb and some veggie samosas that others at the table liked. Prices were also extremely reasonable at around $11pp. read more

Went here with my friends tonight. Probably my favourite Indian restaurant. The room is clean, food is nice. I would recommend the butter chicken. It's close to the metro orange line station so it's very easy to get there. After all, food is nice, and cheap. read more

Best Naan ever! The tikka masala was also great. I will return.

Hands down the best Indian restaurant I've tried in Montreal. Delivery's always on time, even during snowstorms!
