The food was delicious! We tried a fish (mirchi masalla) and the meat was actually fluffy and light and scrumptious. The only thing was we didn't realize how spicy it was, to the point that I was hyperventilating a few times, but it was so good that we couldn't stop eating it anyways. We also got a lamb peshawari. It had a red sauce, wasn't spicy and was slightly sweet. It had nice cheese chunks too and almonds. Just delicious. Excellent food, lots of sweating and great naan bread too!

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!

Objet : Manque de professionnalisme et annulation de commande sans préavis…read more Nous sommes très déçus par notre récente expérience avec votre établissement. Nous avions passé une commande à l'avance pour un repas familial prévu ce dimanche, entre 17 h et 17 h 30. À notre grande surprise, la commande a été annulée 15 minutes avant l'heure prévue -- sans aucun message, sans appel, sans explication. Cette annulation soudaine a perturbé notre organisation familiale. Un tel manque de communication est inacceptable. Si un restaurant n'est pas en mesure d'honorer ses engagements ou d'utiliser adéquatement une plateforme de commande, il serait préférable qu'il se retire de ce type de service. Cela éviterait de nuire aux clients qui, de leur côté, planifient à l'avance et s'attendent à un minimum de respect et de fiabilité. Nous comprenons que des imprévus puissent survenir, mais encore faut-il les gérer avec professionnalisme. Un simple message aurait permis de trouver une solution ou de s'ajuster. Nous espérons que cette situation sera prise en considération afin d'éviter qu'elle ne se reproduise pour d'autres clients.

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!

I didn't expect much of it at all and had only wanted to fill my belly. Little did I know, but I had the BEST butter chicken ever!!!! I'm usually quite picky when it comes to butter chicken as I usually find most plates quite spicy/too sour/not creamy enough/or is seasoned with too much spice. The butter chicken here is simply amazing! It fits all my criteria- it offers a hint of spiciness to kick off my taste buds, it's creamy and it's rich in flavour. Most of all, it's affordable (for only $8!) and comes in a perfect ratio of rice, butter chicken and naan. It was so simple and so delicious. Definitely will return for the butter chicken and will try everything else on the menu!
