Went to try this place because it was close to jean talon metro. I've always like Indian food; full of flavors!! It's a small quiet restaurant or maybe I went there on a Tuesday afternoon. The waiter is nice and welcoming. Came to ask if everything is okay. It is always nice to have someone come check to see ensure our food is good. We ordered the set for two with masala chicken and change the veggie to okra then eggplant. The food taste as expected for Indian flavor! We also change the plain rice to briyani rice. But it was slightly spicy for us. And the naan bread! My favor! So plain but yet so good! Overall the food is decent, nothing wow by good as all the Indian food! read more

My husband and I stopped in for a quick bite to eat- and we LOVE Indian food! Food and service was really really good- we could've used a bit more spice in our dish (Chicken Tikka Masala), but other than that it was delicious! read more

Extremely good food at a good location close to Jean-Talon market. Very authentic with reasonable prices. Friendly service, too. I'd definitely recommend it. The boneless lamb and garlic naan were especially delicious. read more

By far the worst Indian restaurant I have tried in Montreal, and I have tried dozens. In fact, the worst restaurant period. Bad dishes, dry nan, 5 dollar extra for rice. Hidden costs. A 6-dollar special cost 13.80+ tip ! Avoid at all costs ! read more

An authentic Afghan/Pakistani/Indian restaurant just by the Jean Talon Market with a homy atmosphere and cheerful, friendly service. The place also delivers. A popular spot for families to enjoy a meal, hence the restaurant's delicious menu is best enjoyed family style with a few shared plates and some naan or kabuli rice on the side. My main dishes were the baigan masala, a great veggie dish with large chunks of eggplant in a spiced tomato sauce, the palak paneer, a classic creamy spinach and cheese cube dish, done well, and the afghan chicken karahi which was tender and full of flavour. Overall an outstanding meal. The plates aren't very large, but fairly priced and quickly prepared. A must try to sample some of the best of south Asian recipes in Montreal. read more

Restaurant Makkah - Feast for three. - Indian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Relatively new small restaurant. When I ate here, it gave me a very homely type of feeling with the friendly service and the food. To dine in this place is small but if you don't mind, it's always best to eat the food fresh here rather than taking it home. The portions are small but the quality of the food and the taste does make up for it. Therefore, you wouldn't mind spending on a second portion. You can make the food from mild to as spicy as you'd like. Check out the pictures if you'd like to get an overall idea of what it's like to eat here. read more

Would definitely be a regular if I lived in the area but would absolutely recommend people to come here!!! Have never been a huge fan of Pakistani/Indian food (even though I'm Pakistani) due to several factors. One being that I've grown up on this food so it's not very exciting. Second being that most Indian/Pakistani restaurants are usually not very tasty. In the sense that you can't taste the meal you're ordering. Also majority of the places will add a ton of seasoning, salt, and meat tenderizer that all the food tastes the same (different restaurants, different cities... Crazy right???). However, this place has given me one of the best experiences of my life. The whole tandoori chicken aka Lahori Charga was excellent. Seasoning, chewiness, juiciness, serving size, and price were all perfect. The server spoke Urdu and English, not sure about French since none of the party I was with spoke it either. Very hard working guy and was very helpful even after working alone! Without hesitation I would recommend people to come here. read more

I went to Makkah last night and ordered a bunch of things but felt very disappointed. I don't think I would return but the group of friends I went with liked some of the dishes. It was Tuesday night so we got the biryani plate ($6 includes a drink). Pretty bland in my opinion. We also ordered a very sweet chicken tikka masala, a mattar paneer, a Keema, an afghani goat dish, and asked everything to be spicy. They just put cut up green chilies in everything. The naan was good and so was my mango lassi but I didn't get the flavor and intensity that I was hoping for. Also our server was sweet but barely spoke any English so it made ordering different for us anglophones. I think this place might be more on the Afghani side than the Pakistani considering how many sweet dishes they had. read more

Great service, great atmosphere, and most importantly great food! and at an affordable price. If you find yourself stuck in Montreal on a rainy day than defiantly give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more

Restaurant Makkah - Tiki masala, and garlic naan - Indian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

We were first informed that the price of the combo was $4 higher than what it said in the menu, which is the first time I have heard that scam. The nan was good and the rice was OK. The rest of the food tasted like it came out of a can or some kind of sauce mix. There is nothing sopecial in the incredibly bland and tasteless food they brought to the table: anyone with with a recipe book and fresh ingredients could cook better than this. This is bottom of the barrel Indian food, a small step up from frozen meals from the supermarket. read more

Pricing is all out of wack and the food tastes like stale water. An entree is priced low in comparison for most Indian restaurants. For example: A butter chicken, 10 dollars. However, it doesn't come with any rice or naan bread (pretty much instrumental for the dish) Here's the catch A plain rice for one person , 5 dollars! I asked the waiter how big it was , as most side rice are no more than 3 dollars. And he made a small circle with his hand. The food itself tastes diluted like it was made out of baby food, and you'll walk away spending 5 dollars on something that cost under 50 cents to make. Don't be a sucker, you're much better off enjoying Indian food at the many restaurants in the Parc ex area. read more

Absolutely delicious! We came here for dinner and will definitely be coming back. Very authentic afghan and Indian food, with plenty of vegetarian options. We had the classic butter chicken, it tasted more subdued than normal Indian butter chicken. I really liked the flavour. The paneer in spinach was great and filling. Staff was friendly and conversational. Highly recommend this place and they have great takeout options! read more

For the price, this place can't be beat. The naan at Maison Indian Curry is better, but the prices here are lower and the staff are always so friendly! They have 11 different lamb dishes for $11 or less, make a great Afghan rice and the lentils are perfectly done. Now to the lunch specials - a different one every day! It's a good sized portion for $5-6! (weekdays). I bring my own takeout container and they have no problems filling it up with the day's special. read more

The food is great and so is the service ! We were a big group of 11 but the management made sure that we all sit together. Thanks guys!

Excellent Indian food in the city. Just be careful not to order too much! Seems like we always bite off more than we can chew here, but leftovers from this place are always welcome in my fridge. read more

I wished I lived in Montreal this would be my favorite Indian/afghan spot to eat. They have a a variety of dishes in there menu with affordable prices. The quantity of the items can't be eaten with 2 people. The staff are very friendly unfortunately they don't speak English they had a hard time understanding me. But in the end it all worked out we enjoyed our meals food prep and order take was quickly we didn't had to sit for a every long time. If you love Indian and afghani this place is a must go see. You won't regret it. read more

This is a great restaurant. Price is reasonable, food is great, staff is awesome. We had iftar here this past Ramadan and the server even brought us dates and mango lassi free of charge without any prompting, which was really kind of him to do so. My husband and I hardly eat out, but we make it a point to eat here every so often, as it is the only Pakistani restaurant we've truly enjoyed in Montreal. It is one of our favorites and I would highly recommend read more

This is easily the best (and only) Pakistani/Afghan restaurant near Jean-Talon station. The fresh ginger lamb curry is a bit sour but yummy, with large pieces of, yes, actual fresh ginger! It's served with a delicious mint yoghurt sauce. Actually, I go there mostly for the sauce, but don't tell them or they might start charging for it. The friendly staff contributes to making it a pleasant place for a nice meal with friends. Lunch special is cheap, but note that they close on Fridays between 1 and 2 pm. read more

I ordered the chicken tikka masala with rice and naan. It was a delicious meal! Prices are VERY reasonable too. I would definitely order from Makkah again! read more
