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!

After watching Trevor James' Youtube videos in Sri Lanka, I got very keen to try Sri Lankan food…read more Nama kept popping up on my instagram feeds, therefore we decided to have a family dinner at Nama despite the mixed reviews. I would give a 3 1/2 stars for its lack of flavors. Our waiter was pleasant, diligent and helpful. He warned us that Sri Lankan food would be spicy. We love spicy food but it wasn't as spicy as he made us believe. I guess our tolerance levels are super different. Our cocktails were pretty good (Trincot's sunset, pink panther and Jaffna Fever). Our appetizer were pretty average due to lack of flavors and spice (fish o fish, banana tree and Seeni Sambol tart). As for the main dishes, we had Nilaveu, spicy and delicious shrimp curry dish (good) with coconut roti (very dry), then the Backyard, chicken curry (only real spicy dish) with basmati rice (good). Then we had sea bass cooked with spices in banana leaf (the best meal of the night), then kathari blast (eggplant dish, delicious but the eggplant skin was very hard, kept getting stuck in my throat), and on the side string hoppers (good). Last dish was vegetarian Kottu Roti with eggs (splendid). Now for Desert. 1) coconut/pistachio filling in a crepe (delicious) and then 2) Pina colada ice cream (Fruits were missing, notified the waiter, who said fruits got rotten, therefore I got 10 % discount on this desert) and then one cup kopi (special Sri Lankan coffee), which was very watery sadly. Every single dish were presented impressively. Our dishes including plates and utensils were made by wood (felt bad for trees). Overall, it's a cute place (like an old house) but there are more improvements are required in terms of some table sittings especially in the main door and hallway; it looks very tacky. The taste of the food needs to raise the bar. Barely any food was spicy (the way it was mentioned) except the chicken dish. With all the dishes, the price wasn't bad, and I also got a 10% discount on my whole bill courtesy of YELP check in. Thank you Yelp.

I've been test driving a number of delivery options for work in Ville St Laurent and have been…read morefinding decent Indian delivery particularly difficult. I wouldn't go out of the way for this place, but I'll definitely be reordering. The bad: The naan. I would be shocked if this was never frozen, and would have a heartbreak if someone actually made this from scratch in the restaurant as it comes across as grocery store frozen/microwaved naan... but not as good. The ok: The tandoori chicken, so bright and looking delicious; fell flat on flavor, but for the price I can't say it was bad as it fit the bill. Didn't like that their JustEat menu didn't include a bunch of the things that they deliver based on the pamphlet that came with my order, but I can also understand them trying to limit reorders with JustEat since they pinch a piece of the pie. The good: The lamb curry had a good taste to it, not spicy, but a well balanced kick of flavor. Overall I overpaid for what I got, but only by a little bit and because I'm frugal. Moving forward I know what more to order to get a better bang for my buck. Authentic? Not really. Based on the area I can understand that they might have been forced to Westernize their dishes, but would have been better if it were traditional. When the naan isn't even made on site you're unlikely to get much else thats made with love.

The food was very nice, I liked their selection, we asked for everything to be mild and they were able to accomodate that without sacrificing flavour.

Adam got the butter chicken and some bahji's to share and I got the Seekh Kebab which is beef inside naan bread if I am remembering correctly.

Not at all a bad place to have indian food if you're in the neighborhood.

We just had a lovely lunch at le taj in Montreal. The food was excellent. The service was proper…read more They filled our water glasses often and checked in on our table at least 4 times in an hour. The lunch buffet had both vegetarian and non veg offerings. I took a picture of everything but the basmati rice which was good. The standout items would be the mulligatawny soup, the butter chicken curry, the tandoori chicken which was super tender and well spiced and the lamb curry which was perfectly cooked. For dessert they had three choices and I tried them all. Gulab jamon was nicely spiced and not too sweet with a firm crumb. And the rice pudding was standout delicious with large green cardamom pods visibly floating in the pudding. There was a melange of other spices too. It was very nice. I want to mention there were layered spices in all the food which is the mark of a good chef. The price was very reasonable at $30 cad. With tax it was $5 more. Perfect for a super fresh and delicious lunch. I could not eat all the offerings but what I had was all good. I did not like the samosas. Too much potato. And I would have liked more peas and spices. The fruit in the fresh fruit cocktail was fine and chilled in an ice bath.

We must have come during a time that was not so busy as it was very easy for us to be seated. The dining room is beautiful, with white table clothes at each table, and great service to match. Since my stepsister is vegetarian, we all ordered a variety of vegetarian appetizers and entrées to share, as well as a few cocktails and glass of wine. I thought the garlic tandoori naan pretty good, but I REALLY enjoyed the yellow dahl tarka I ordered, as well as the samosas, and all the chutneys and sauces. The servings sizes are generous but not too much. We also had the paneer masala which was great. No complaints and I can't wait to return!
