    Chili Chicken!!!
    Jack D.

    When we first moved to the neighborhood a few months ago, it took a minute to figure out our go-to spots. Especially late at night. Thankfully, Jolee is right around the corner, and when it's 9:30 at night, and there's nothing in the fridge and/or I'm too lazy too cook, we can count on this spot. While it is a sit-down restaurant, we've mostly gotten our food to go, which seems to be what Jolee is popular for. The clientele, most of whom appear to be of the South Asian variety, are a clear indication that this place is legit. We've mostly gotten three dishes: The daal, which is tasty but can be a little on the salty side, the veggie samosas, which with the dipping sauce are pretty amazing, and the star of the show, their chili chicken, which is spicy in that "I'm sweating but I've gotta have more" kinda way. I've also tried their tandoori chicken, which was good, but didn't quite stand out like the other dishes.

    Chilli chicken and chicken tikka masala with rice

    Tonight we went there. We ordered lentils soup, chicken tikka masala and chilli chicken with rice. The soup was nice, with lots of vegetables. The tikka masala actually wasn't my taste. The chilli chicken was the best! Really hot!!! Specially I liked the souce and the vegetables under it. We tried their special bread, it was tasty, too. I have to say, I've never tried any authentic Indian restaurant, I was afraid of a bit about the spicy meals, but I liked it. :) The guys were nice, helpful and we got our dishes quickly. The place is recently renovated and it's clean, too. We can pay by card, but it has fee. I'm pretty sure we will go back in the future.

    String hopper kothu

    Giant portions- very fairly priced. Communication was the key issue- I asked for an extra plate to share the chicken biryani. Instead the guy brought an extra order. We were hungry; so we took it. Someone ordered kothu and asked for extra gravy. An extra side of gravy was brought to the side waaay after the chap had already eaten the meal. He asked for extra gracy ON the meal. Other than that; the food was pretty delicious!

    Veg S.I. thali with samosas and salty lassi.

    Excellent Sri Lankan Tamil and South Indian cuisine. Have a masala dosa or a vegetarian thali or some vegetarian string hoppers.

    Joleen served typical Indian dosages with authentic taste. Twice I have been there and twice I was happy with my meal. I recommend the dosas and thali plates.

    Tasty food, well worth for the price. We were visiting Montreal 4 two days from Washington DC. Both nights eat here. No regrets.

    Great food and amazingly low prices. If I weren't a tourist I would come back and eat here everyday. Try the samosas!

    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!

    We went to Veranda was New Year's Eve dinner and had a magical time. The 3 course meals was…read more$65.00 including an appetizer, entree with rice and naan, and a delicious dessert. So reasonable and delicious! There was also live music playing! We had a wonderful time celebrating the New Year with great service!
