Un jolie resto invitant qui nous donne envie de voyager. Je vais y retourner c'est certains pour souper!

Had the worst experience here! I came with my large family and ordered a butter naan for myself…read morebecause I was allergic to a lot of the dishes on the menu. I was told by the lady that I cannot come to the restaurant and only order naan and not a dish. I told her about my allergies and she assured me that I won't be allergic to the Chicken 65 dish, so I ordered it. I was very much allergic to the dish and had a terrible reaction! She was so rude and unprofessional. Never coming here again.

We tried Didar for the first time last night. All in all, it was a solid meal.

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.

Janani is a triple gem of a hole-in-the-wall! Here on the Victoria/Plamondon corridor of…read moreCôte-des-Neiges there are many South Indian / Tamil Sri Lankan restos to choose from. Janani is by far the most casual down home cookin' a person could ask for. When you step into Janani you feel as though you've been invited to supper at a friend's home. This truly is a friends with benefits situation. The benefit? Oodles and oodles of delicious and healthful and flavourful and piquant victuals to see you through the icy Montréal winter. I love the vegetarian thali. The dishes are constantly changing so there is always a vast array of choices to be had. You have to be a keener to get your hands on this food because it disappears super fast. If you're hankering for a vegetarian thali for dinner you should call ahead of time and ask them to save some food for you. Try the potato bonda and string hoppers as well! You'll be pleasantly delighted and your hunger will be satiated beyond belief. Enjoy!

Expected chettinadu cuisine. We ordered Mysore masala dosa and biryani. We were served somewhat…read moreburnt dosa and pulav. Excellent spice mix in pulav but it was not biryani though. Ambience is just okay. Not your Tajmahal or tirumalnayakar mahal !! Reminds me Ratna cafe from Triplicane area in Chennai back in early 2000s !! Asked for extra chutney - he said extra money. This is uncommon in the Indian food restaurants in New Jersey area though !! Posting a burnt dosa pic we were served here. Coconut Chutney here is good and authentic ... it was more watery than we expected . Other chutneys were just 2 stars. Biryani tasted more like pulav !!

Yay, a Kerala restaurant in Montreal! My husband and I had been missing authentic Malayali food…read more One fine day, we were just looking for a new place to try and a friend of ours googled for a malayali restaurant and there it was! Its a new place, only been open for a few months. Honestly, this South Indian cuisine deserves so much recognition because of the perfect blend of regional spices and ingredients. They have a big menu but we only tried their Kerala dishes. And I highly recommend trying their Kerala dishes. The first time we tried their food - it was very spicy, but the flavours were still on point. 2nd time we asked them to make it less spicy and I enjoyed the food even MORE! Kerala food is usually spicy, so ask for less spicy if you can't handle the heat. Our favourites are the Kerala chicken curry, parotta (very authentic), beef fry and the malabar chicken biryani. This place is a must try!

Great food and I look forward to my next visit!…read more I heard this place can get really packed, but we came around 6PM on a Tuesday night and it wasn't too bad. We were able to get seats and we stayed until closing - they did not pressure us to leave or to order more which was nice. The food was amazing - we ordered 2 rounds of naan between 3 of us and everything was great. The staff was also very nice and highly recommend a visit!
