Went to eat here after a long day of moving and it did not disappoint. Their thali plates are very filling, flavourful, and delicious. I got the butter chicken plate and it's such a good meal to have after a long day. Service was fast and friendly. The seating is comfortable with AC blasting and background music. Their mango lassi and samosas are the best I've had in the city. Highly recommend! read more

Palais d'Ajit - Butter chicken thali - Indian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Un de mes resto indien préféré, prévoyez environ 100$ pour 4 personnes avant pourboire. En 5 ans j'ai eu une seule erreur de commande et une autre fois un plat de riz qui sentait le produit nettoyant, probablement une casserole mal lavée. read more

This has been my go to for Indian cuisine for the past 7 years! They've never disappointed and the staff have always been very kind and hospitable. The food is amazing and super filling, one portion normally lasts me two meals so I take it to go and it's delicious at any given time in the year but a nice warm meal from Palais d'Ajit on a cold fall afternoon is the best in my opinion. read more

Most my friends rave about this place and finally I had the chance to come here with my family. The place was jam packed, we were lucky because at that time a table got vacated. Special mention to our waitress Sumanpreet; she was beyond excellent. She gave us her undivided attention, even when my family member had a facial expressions after tasing one of those dishes she would make sure our satisfaction is up to par. Sumanpreet made sure that all needs are met with her services to us. Food wise, everything was super delicious. Appetizers: Bhel Puri A + Aloo tiki B+ Main dishes: chana batura B+, masala dosa A-, saag paneer with Naan bread B +, masala chicken tikka A Desert: kulfi malai A+ pistachio kulfi A- There is isn' t about much to praise about the decor. The food and The service make this dinner really pleasurable. Recommended read more

SO GOOD. Authentic, tasty. I love the butter chicken with rice & naan

We consistently order food from here - weekly, at least. But during the second lockdown, it seemed like they couldn't figure it out. We placed our order, as usual, and waited half an hour before heading over to the restaurant. When we arrived, we were surprised to find a line at least a dozen people long - waiting outside in icy cold weather - that we had to wait in despite having placed our order in advance. And when we finally entered the restaurant to pay - 15 minutes after getting in line - it was another surprise to find our food wasn't yet ready. I get that they're busy - and good for them! But then prepare the customer ahead of time - communicate wait times, and have a different system for customers who had called in advance. Does not make me want to order from them again anytime soon. read more

I don't know if it's the circumstances or bad luck but both times we've ordered from Palais d'Ajit the service has been down-right funky. For one thing, when we call it's always a little girl who picks up- while I'm all for child labour, it's lead to a couple mishaps with our orders. The first time I was charged for a mango lassi which I never received, the second time she told us they didn't deliver to our house, hung up, and then an older woman called us back to take our order. The other thing that was full on weird was the delivery guy- tonight he straight up asked for a bigger tip (the tip wasn't bad!). What's up with your staff, ya'll? Palais d'Ajit, as others have mentioned, compensates with it's one-way tickets to flavour town. Honestly, I can't name a tastier Indian place in the Sud Ouest. Meat and veggie dishes are equally amazing, so there's something for everyone on the vast menu. That said, the portions are modest compared to some of their competitors and it's on the pricier end of Indian takeout. In any case, don't let those things deter you, the food's amazing. read more

This little place is cute..the staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered shrimp and a combo plate. It was tasty enough..but the servings were small..lots of sauce..not so much meat..and it was actually quite pricy! Also there are very few pictures in the menu..so unless you had better already know what you want.. read more

Wow, I didn't expect to find such tasty and affordable food in the middle of Verdun. I ordered the mango lassi (simply awesome) and the lamb curry thali. The portions are plentiful and the food quality well above average. The lamb was a bit salty though, although nothing out of place. Counting down the days to try many more yummy dishes read more

Palais d'Ajit - Lamb curry thali - Indian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

They make very great Indian food, just know that it will be pricer than most places. We got the aloo gobi and the fish saag. Both were very tasty, but it ended up costing us over $40 for two items read more

Palais d'Ajit is a small Indian restaurant which opened its doors recently at the corner of Verdun St and 3rd Avenue, unremarkable from the outside and the inside, clean but aesthetically bland. The service was polite. The food was good enough and generally affordable. My husband and I ordered the Vegetarian Thali, and although it wasn't the best Tali I've had in Montreal, it was fair and filling. The Chana Samosa and the Pakora were the best parts of the meal. The tea, an average grade Masala tea judging by its taste, was okay. Palais d'Ajit isn't bad but it could be better if it adjusted its recipes to match competing Indian restaurants of the same grade, and by adding to their decor to make the experience "homey" and authentic. Noteworthy: I believe that some of the other reviews currently published for this place are not legitimate; be wary of them. Also, the bathrooms are really clean and well taken care of; it's the first time my experience in a bathroom is more memorable to that of the restaurant itself! read more

Overall I'm really happy we stopped at Palais d'Ajit. The daal soup was good. Too sour for my own taste though, I wouldn't have it like that every time. But still good. The vegetable pakoras were excellent, and the dosa really good. And on top of it all, this restaurant is really cheap! Well go back for sure. read more

I was craving some Indian food for a while and someone recommended this place - so, here I was. Grabbed the Channa bhatura - which is chickpeas and fried bread - and sweet lassi (which was something I often had on weekends back in India). The food was fresh, good and did the job satisfying my craving. Have I had better? I lived in India, go figure if I have lol. In Montreal though, this is some of the best Indian I've had. I'll definitely come back to try other things, which on peeking at other tables looked good. read more

Delicious food, one of the restaurants I miss most from when I lived in Montreal. Can't say enough positive, the classics are good but definitely worth exploring their menu and finding a new favourite dish. read more

Being a local of Lasalle, I'm so happy we finally have a quality Indian restaurant to go to! I'm very pleased with my visit at Palais d'Arijit. I think the prices are affordable for the food quality you get in return. The service is quick and the staff is attentive. I love the pani puris, the naan was fluffly and soft, and the lamb and chicken were tender and delicious. Will definitely come back and I do recommend! read more

I love Palais d'Ajit. Funnily I've only ever done take out. The place doesn't look like much but the food is solid. The butter chicken is a crowd pleaser, the naan is great, the vindaloo is totally edible (not outrageously spicy) - honestly when you are in the mood for some unpretentious but delicious Indian food, it's a great place to go. read more

Hesitated to review because I really don't want people to know about this place... I will never have to search for a staple indian place again. The food is as authentic as it gets in Montreal, portions are generous and the prices are more than fair. If you don't care about decor and enjoy laughing at Bollywood pop videos while eating magnificent food, this place is for you. BYOB. read more

Delivery was great & food was hot & delicious as usual. However, be prepared to spend at least $3.50 more for main dishes! Supporting local restaurants is still important when the food is still what we expected! read more

Went yesterday evening with a group of 14 and very much enjoyed the experience. The prices are very affordable and the food was very authentic, fresh and flavorful. Service was very good. My group was large so the service maybe a little slow but very good compared to other places. Definitely worth the recommendation. My Lamb Soup was amazing!! read more

Saw this place had recently opened up and being fans of Indian food, we thought we would give it a go. Very glad we did. Very friendly service and authentic, fresh food. Moreover, the price was very reasonable. There are a couple of other Indian restaurants in Verdun, but they tend to be a little overpriced. Make sure you try the mango chutney and onion bhajis! Also note this is a bring-your-own establishment and they do carry-out as well. read more

Love this place as its close to my house and satisfy my Indian food craving... try the bindi (okra) masala with freshly made naan! The pick up service is pretty fast. The restaurant decor is a little blend but the delicious spicy food makes up for it! Service a bit sad and cold, too bad. That's all you need to know. read more

Don't expect to have amazing service here or to be seated right away (regardless if you have a reservation or not). Once you've gotten over the frustration of attempting to get a waiters attention to open your bottle of wine and bring some water, the rest is smooth sailing. The food is freshly made by a family member (I think their mom is the chef) in the kitchen if I am not mistaken. Extremely affordable, BYOW and ohhhhhhh so delectable. I look forward to my next meal here! read more

I love their samosas! Best in town, hands down. We always order butter shrimp and a non-vegetarian thali! Great prices as well!!!

Opened a year and a half ago in the middle of French speaking Lasalle (everyone in the restaurant were speaking French) yet the young girl waitress did not even try to speak French?! Another older woman sat in the back near a stove starring at me. Either she was in love or she was spaced out but she never said hello. I sat at the only 2 seat table there is in the restaurant, my back to the window, facing inwards. The window seats quickly packed up afterwards, other than those 3 tables only 2 other people were there eating further away. I was alone but surrounded. It warmed me a bit from their air conditioning, during a cold rainy mid October day...they AC this place! I asked my waitress if she was hot and she said yes. I must agree. I digress. They really have a knack for decorating! (sarcasm) I would gladly exchange some decorating tips for food! Talking about food now. I had the lunch thalli, it consisted of iceberg lettuce and baby carrots but no vinaigrette...crudités (salad?) A nan bread and a thin crispy and spicy one (?name?), vegetables in sauce, a tasteless tandori chicken drum stick, and the main part (drumroll)...3 small pieces of goat in a watery "sauce", oh and accompanied with rice too! OMG the amount of carbs in this meal! Not impressed, but at $7 for all this is still way better than most places. Thank you for telling me about the Channa Samosas because that was the best part of the meal! Samosas broken open and covered with a hot and spicy tomatoes and chickpeas sauce. Loved that! The waitress should definitely give her opinion on what she likes best on the menu, because without her timid input I would have left thinking the place was not so good. Next time I will only eat what the waitress likes. I finished my meal with a desert, galum jamun which felt like it was heated in a microwave oven, pipping burning hot. Funny washroom area concept. Not much warmth from either the staff or AC, both needed a little help. The waitress does smile when you make her smile with jokes. Otherwise very serious. Relax people. Put the music louder and smile! This is suppose to be an enjoyable experience! This is a nice find in the middle of (nowhere). I hope they last. Looking at all the other reviews, they are well liked. read more

My favourite Indian food in Montreal. The food is delicious and well priced. The staff is kind. I miss being able to eat in the restaurant, but I'll definitely go back as soon as I can. read more

The food was very good but hella spicy so be prepared! The food was decently priced and has perfected quantities. However the restaurant it self isn't so hot, the waiters and staff weren't very reliable. It is a very noisy restaurant with people lining up inside for takeout. Even with reservations it was cramped and close. But overall the food was excellent and I would definitely go again . read more

Without a doubt, my favorite Indian restaurant to date. There is a lot of variety, but my favorite dish is the chicken korma. The butter chicken is also fantastic. It is deliciously sweet and kid-friendly because it is not too spicy. For those of you who like to feel the burn, they have plenty of options to choose from, as well. I recommend the Thali for people who are just starting to explore their Asian culinary senses. Also, if you are a naan connoisseur, you need add Palais d'Ajit to your list. Don't expect any fancy surroundings. It looks like a hole in the wall but you'll be convinced to enter the door when you get a whiff of the food (which can be detected from a block away). The staff are very friendly although sometimes the service is slow. If you don't like to wait, call ahead and take it home! read more

Looove this place, its been two weeks since i've moved near it and i have already been to it about 4 times... Its a family runned restaurant with great prices but most importantly the most amazing flavours!!!! Whenever someone from out of town comes to visit me it is my go to place! Would recommend to anyone read more

Every good and authentic Indian food ! + you can bring your own wine so it's fantastic !! But don't be too picky about the service it's bring your own wine plus open by yourself your wine ;) read more

Prices are cheap, portions are huge, and its bring your own wine! On top of that, the food is really good. Cant go wrong!

Have been ordering since they opened! Love the food but servings are decreasing . Sometimes the staff seems a little snotty. I give the food 5 stars but servings and hit and miss staff mood brings it down to 3. read more

Best Indian restaurant in the city! Great food at very reasonable prices and you can bring your own wine. The place is a gem.

This place is surprisingly good and at a very affordable price. Service is okay, but when the food is so delicious do you really care? We've had a few veggie options, including paneers in the butter chicken sauce and I can tell you that my boyfriend is already addicted to the place. You can bring your own wine. The gulab jamun aren't the most flavourful I got but the rest is very decent. They also don't have homemade chai tea. If you order to go, call beforehand as it can take 20 min to get your food. read more

The food was fantastic ,the service was wonderful no complaints on anything .It was so good I bought 2 extra meals to bring home .Its a 35 min drive for me .But it is so worth it .I have eaten a lot of Indian food in my life .I must say I was really impressed . Probably bring home a lot more meals next time . Prices are great and very affordable .Big praise for the staff ,she was impeccable read more

Been there with my bf couple of weeks ago and was really happy we went in. The food is delicious, the prices are more than reasonable and the service is excellent! We had the lamb vindaloo, the chicken tikka and the chicken Masala with rice, naan, and some appetizers all this for 32$!!! Nothing fancy, amazing food at a fair price. read more

I was traveling from Boston and came across Palais Ajit Indian restaurant while staying in Montreal... this is definitely one of the best Indian food I had outside India... we tried quite a few things Tawa aloo parantha, chicken curry, paneer mugglai.. everything came out perfect .. I wish they open a restaurant in Massachusetts soon.. read more

Was enjoying a nice samosa when suddenly I felt something similar to plastic in my mouth. It was a bandaid! Seriously? How gross! WTF? People working in restaurants should always wear gloves, then incidents like this would not happen. I have filed a complaint with with the food inspection division of the city of Montreal. Get your acts together! NOW!!!! read more

How lucky am I to be living a few blocks away from this hidden family gem... Amazing dishes.. Everything... I have to stop myself from ordering here on a daily basis.. And you cant beat the price... Do urself a favor and have their Chana Samosa... Awesome!!! read more

This restaurant gets zero stars on atmosphere and service, but FIVE stars for price to quality ratio. Having eaten here several times, I've never been disappointed with the food. The paneer dishes are excellent and everything else I've had was far superior to other Indian restaurants I've tried (even those in higher price ranges). Amazing that a couple can eat a delicious meal for under 30$! A true gem of a restaurant for Verdun! read more
