Horrible! The end! No really Singh's needs a new chef because nothing my hubby ordered me for dinner was edible. The chicken tikka masala was beyond sweet. It tasted like they made vodka sauce with extra cream and the. added the huge boiled chicken pieces to the sauce. The pakoras were heavily salted on the outside and extremely spicy on the inside. The garlic naan was just naan. No garlic. No flavor whatsoever. After trying all of the previous items I bypassed the samosas. He was not happy with the meal and we ended up tossing it out. read more

Singh's - 7/10/24 - Pakora, Garlic Naan, Samosas, & Chicken Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

The food here is comme ci, comme ça--decent but forgettable, nothing really stands out.

As an Indian myself, this restaurant is NOT good! The tandoori paneer tikka was simply uncooked paneer pieces that had not been marinated or grilled the way paneer tikka usually is which made it a total waste of money. The paneer tikka masala was also horrible. Daal was way too spicy and the waiting took too long. Did not enjoy the food and do not recommend coming. read more

Great for groups to dine in at! This place was right by the Airbnb my friends and I stayed at and we walked in with 6 people and they sat us immediately. All the dishes were sharing sizes so it's easy to do family style. read more

Singh's - Palaak paneer - Indian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

Friends and I just stopped in passing by. It has a nice dimly lit ambiance. It's not too dark. The service was ok. I got the Thali avec poule au cari. The Paule au cari & Chana masala were good however, I wasn't a fan of the tandoori chicken leg. It was a really random addition and wasn't needed. The salad was also just dry lettuce with nothing on it. I enjoyed the meal, but probably wouldn't return due to the experience being so ordinary. read more

Overall: We loved Singh's!! Incredible value, deceptively filling portions, flavors hit the spot. Value: 10/10. My three friends and I each paid around $19 CAD ($14 USD). We ordered many dishes and got to try a lot -- and had leftovers to bring home! Taste: 10/10. Really no complaints here -- wonderful fresh baked garlic naan, and I highly recommend the butter chicken. We also got their vegetarian samosas, which are generously sized. Presentation: 9/10. No complaints again, pretty standard plating. We were a big fan of drinking water out of goblets! Ambiance: 9/10. The restaurant is nicely decorated and we got to sit in a booth, which was a little bit cramped. But overall, very nice casual spot with lighting dim enough to also be romantic :-) paired with friendly service. Dined: December 11, 2022 read more

We ordered Korma vegetables , Daal Mahkani Lamb Curry And garlic naan. while waiting for our food , a nice appeared on the floor adjacent to the fish tank. Korma vegetables were made for frozen mixed vegetables, the cream was very present in the flavor. I've had this dish at many order restaurants. This one did not make the cut ; would not order again. The Daal Mahkani had okay flavor the spice ( pepper heat) was just right for me , medium. Lamb was tender but flavor good. I would not revisit this restaurant. read more

Even tho' we ordered dishes not too spicy (I like the spice, dining partner is NOT a fan), the dishes were spicy. The restaurant is BYOB. Service was a bit disjointed but we eventually got everything we ordered. They seem to bring it as it's ready but the steamed rice (I'm pretty sure they have a huge batch of it in the kitchen) was the last thing to show up after asking about it multiple times. The interior is very dark & dingy so sit at the front near the windows if possible. read more

Food was excellent. We had the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and lamb saag. All were great. Naan was delicious. Would come back again. read more

Hands down to this restaurant, as a Indian food lover, I always have the tendency to look for the best especially for consistency and freshness of the spices. Singh's fascinated me and I fell in love with their food and restaurant. This restaurant is very cutely decorated with Indian puppets and idols. In addition, it is very clean. I went for the vegetarian thaali and it consisted of rice, naan, and 3 vegetable dishes. I had the aubergine, dal and kofta. They were all delicious and so filling but as I loved their naans because they were so soft and melted in my mouth as well as the crunch of the naan. In other words, just cooked to perfection. I'd definitely go back to try other dishes at this restaurant. Plus it only cost me $6.99 for this dish which I found really cheap compared to other restaurant. I'd definitely recommend it if you want the real authentic foods from India and Punjab as you'd definitely fall in love with that place just like I did today. My tummy is a happy camper after this sumptuous meal at Singh's. :) read more

We have been regulars at this establishment for years and I have always raved about the food here. We have chosen this restaurant for many celebratory dinners and it's been a constant stop when craving Indian/Pakistani food. Unfortunately I have had to bring down my 5 star rating, after several back to back disappointing experiences. We had a below average experience in the restaurant a few months ago, however we decided to order in, in an attempt to support local restaurants during the COVID lockdown and give this place another shot. Within the last two months, we have ordered food from here three times and each time the experience has been worse then the last. We ordered the Aloo Parathas & Butter Chicken Thali last week and the quality and the taste were horrible. The chicken used for the tikka in our Thali had gone bad, the taste of the food was bland. It felt like the order had been put together using leftover ingredients. I have no idea if the quality has been compromised because of the current situation, but an establishment should not take orders if they can not deliver. Highly disappointed and will not be ordering from here again. read more

We were in Montreal and need a good Indian restaurant. Called a friend of mine who lives in Montreal and he recommended this restaurant. My friend had called the owner and informed him that we were coming. The restaurant has a great vibe. The decor is traditional Indian. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. The best part is that you can bring your own alcohol in. The best compliment I can give and Indian restaurant is that they cook genuine Indian food. And this place cooks genuine Indian food. Everyone in Montreal or visiting Montreal should try this restaurant. read more

Very nice Punjabi fare, delicious gulab jamun. The food was quite spicy. Some of the items came out behind others in a slightly unexpected manner, for example we received entrees before one of us received a mango lassi they ordered, but service was quick, food was tasty, and overall I was satisfied. read more

The naan was truly next level. Never had naan so incredible. They brought it to our table fresh out of the tandoor and you can tell it was made in the real thing - lots of char, smoking hot, plus that soft and yielding inside. Like that boyfriend you longed for in high school. The actual food was fine too, don't get me wrong, but as a bread person, holy smokes - order the naan. Pro tip - there's a market directly across the street where you can pick up the 'B' in BYOB so you're covered no matter what. read more

Outstanding my first time in Montreal and had an itch Indian food, had the best tandoori chicken I ever had. The Nann bread was perfect service was outstanding. The person in the front was outstanding. Everything was good about my meal.when back in Montreal I am eating here 1st . read more

The food here was really, really good. The best Indian style food I've had in Montréal so far. I ordered my vegetarian go-to: shahi paneer, palao rice, and samosa. I was not disappointed. Particularly good was the channa samosa; I hadn't had it served "wet" before. Very, very good. The palao was tasty too. The service was also good and (who I assume is) the proprietor was friendly and helpful. They also have a gigantic goldfish that I'm kind of a fan of after sitting next to him/her at dinner. :) read more

Being in Montreal, for me, is a real treat. I speak fluent french, and have little to no respect of or for a native french person's deliberate attitudes towards natural english speakers. If you get this, you know where i'm coming from, if not, travel some more and you'll get there. So, Montreal. City of Churches, city of cold, cold winter nights, city of hot humid sticky summer days, piety and sin, Montreal is a world to itself. Boom - chicken tikka masalla. Not Bengledeshi is this even chicken meat, not cann'd tomato paste masalla, the real deal holyfeld (if it were a real dish, in india), chicken tikka masalla. Deliciousness. Naans - and people i'm a damn expert on Naans (i own my own tandoor), perfect, garlic/onion, on point. Daal - do kaali daal, and both palak paneer and shah paneer are on point. Mango Lassi for the kids? Ofcourse, fresh and worth it. After the meal, whaaaat? you're in Montreal? Thats great, food so good i forgot i was in another fun and exciting city. Worth it. read more

I love indian food! When i would crave it, i would drive all the way to park-ex to have a good meal. I was craving indian food and wanted to try out a new restaurant. So i searched in Yelp and stumbled on this one. Only 5 stars review! Great!!! When my husband and i entered the restaurant, we were hit with so many delicious aromas and our mouths started salivating lol! A lot of choices on the menu. I chose the lamb curry thali which came with stewed vegetables, basmati rice, salad, naan bread, a tandoori chicken drumstick and a lamb stew. All that for only 10.99$! My husband chose a lentil soup, pulao rice, naan stuffed with meat and rogan josh chicken. Everything was so, so, so good!!! The portions were generous, the prices are great! With tax and tips, the meal costed us 43$. The service excellent! And to top it off, it's a byob! Last but not least, it's about 5-8 minutes drive from my place. I no longer need to go all the way to park-ex! One or perhaps the best indian restaurant i've had in a long time! read more

Figured we would give this a try since we were visiting from the US and it was walking distance from our Airbnb. Food wasn't that great. Service was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. We ordered our food and then when we wanted more of it took easily 20-40 mins for it to come out and about 15 mins for the waitress to come take our order. We would get our naan and then we would get our entree 20 minutes later so it was a wait game with the food the entire time. The entire time we were there we were trying to flag them down as they did not stop by our table not even once to ask if we needed anything. We asked for spicy food and it wasn't spicy at all but rather tangy and sweet. I would not recommend this as a nice indian restaurant to anyone. Not sure how they have such good reviews on yelp. read more

Singh's - Panner tikka appetizer - Indian Near Me - Montreal, Quebec

This restaurant has been recommended to me by an Indian colleague who told me the food is the real deal. Ever since, I order food online once per week. Butter chicken is my favorite and it's not that spicy. The second favorite thing is the lentil soup: delicious! Other things I like but they are a bit more spicy: chicken biryani, chicken tikka, vegetarian samosa, chicken curry. Of course, you have to order the plain naan which is the best I had ever! Enjoy! read more

Me and 2 of my friends visited this restaurant last weekend, the place was super busy. Food was good and service was excellent. The waitresses were very attentive and the girl who took our order knew the menu well , she suggested perfect dishes according to our taste , and the best part was their special dessert with ice cream and gulab jamun. I recommend this place 100 percent. Beautiful decor , good food , friendly staff read more

Food and service is decent. Nothing overly amazing for those well seasoned with Indian food.The decor inside was nice, as was the owner. But nothing mind blowing here. Just solid Indian food read more

I love this place! One of my favorite Indian restaurants in the city, and we've tried a few. The food is great and spicy when it should be. The prices are average, and the portions are generally generous. The best part though is that it's BYOB. We save so much money eating out when we can BYOB. I came here for my birthday dinner and they have a prix fixe menu for large groups on weekends. I think it was $23/pp and there was SO much food. Pakoras, chana masala, butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, tons of rice, etc. Like way more food than we could have possibly eaten. They offered for us to take the leftovers home, but unfortunately we were going out after and couldn't take it. They were just a little weird about setting the table for us though - I had reserved for I think 12 or so and they only set it for 10 and wouldn't add the other two chairs until the people got there, so when they got there it kind of felt like they didn't have chairs and were forgotten from the reservation or something. Besides that though the service has been good and pretty quick. read more

Me and my boyfriend waited over an hour and it was totally worth it! The food here was great! My one complaint was while we were waiting on line one of the owners ushered this couple behind us to sit at a table but the older owner quickly fixed the mistake and took them it was not their turn. After dining we spoke with the older owner and he was very nice and welcoming. If I ever visit Montreal again I will definitely go back :) read more

Great find as we were lost, but wow what Great food! The service could use a little help but the host is always very very welcoming and always remembers us when we come in. This place is small but quaint and very authentic and the food comes with some HEAT if you want it. Spend the time, come here and sit in the booths, you will not be disappointed. read more

Started our meal with a veggie Samoa. Loved it! Chicken Tiki Masala and Chicken Madri. Both delicious. Chicken Madri is spicy, but not unbearable. Wait staff were pleasant, but very busy. Visiting on Christmas Day added to the hustle and bustle of the restaurant. This appears to be very authentic Indian cuisine (look at the patrons for this one). Definitely will be back again. Loved our meal. read more

We ordered thali , paratha , palak panner and malai kofta . Food was ok , malai kofta was very sweet , panner not so fresh. But better it will fill your stomach when you are super hungry read more

Sadly, I'm still reeling from the mysterious loss of Chef Guru's thali plates. When is it ever wise to go forth, after a breakup, looking for something to fill the void, but always comparing that new thing to your ex? Is that ever really truly fair? My approach to Indian restaurants, like my approach to breakfast places, tends to rest mostly on a single dish/plate: For breakfast places, it's just two eggs over easy and bacon; for Indian joints, it's their thalis. Here at Singh's, it's.... okay. The Tandoori chicken was reasonably fresh and tasty. The lamb curry, a little nondescript, sadly. Rice is rice, and the naan was pretty good. No papadum. Of course, what is a thali plate without Curiously Sad Iceberg Lettuce Salad Syndrome(tm)? I simply cannot understand why this is on the plate. Sometimes they come with those pathetic "baby" carrots you get in a bag. Who started this thing? Is this to cleanse my palate? From what? Why can't the Habs score to save a life this year? Will we really see a Pink Metro line in our lifetime? What's the meaning of life? SO MANY QUESTIONS. As per service, well, what can you say. Aside from the perfunctory functions of bringing your food and taking your money, don't expect much here. Despite being the *only* customer on a quiet weekday afternoon, there was no service to speak of. All in all, this gets a rating of Iceberg out of Lettuce. read more

This is one of the top Indian food restaurants in Montreal? Yikes. Can't say I can recommend anything good about our meal. The chicken tikka was very greasy. The naan was nothing like what one of the previous posts mentioned. In the US we get twice as much portion and much better quality. For $20 I expected more tbh read more

Great Indian restaurant in Montreal's Plateau neighborhood! Service is quick and very friendly, it's BYOB, and usually bustling around dinner time. The tandoori chicken leg is tender and fragrant, served with a variety of sauces and chutneys. The garlic naan is extremely flavorful: the curries don't come with rice and I would suggest skipping an order of rice altogether and going with the garlic naan. We also ordered the lamb curry and palak paneer, both of which I would recommend. Prices are comparable to other Indian restaurants in the area. read more

Incredible Food. Wonderful Service. BYOW. Simply put, this is the best Indian restaurant I've found in Montreal. Everything I've tried on the menu has been exquisite. The Fish Pakora is a great starter. Light so it doesn't ruin your main course, but a delectably subtle heat. The Palak Paneer is the freshest I've ever had. And the flavour! It was like a Bollywood wedding recital in my mouth. And they have Dosas! Delicious, mouth watering Dosas that wrap you in their warmth and make you forget all your troubles. You should eat these Dosas. And the Service! Never, in my entire life, have I had such warm, personable service. Every member of the staff is nothing short of charming and endearing. So if you enjoy Indian cuisine, you should try Singh's at the very next opportunity. In fact, you should stop what you're doing (reading this), and consider when that very next opportunity might be, and just get'er done. Because until you do, you're missing out on one of the best things this city has to offer. read more

This was the only Indian restaurant we tried in Montreal but I can tell you I'm sure it's one of the best! I'm Indian so I think I can tell :) The service was really great, they asked how the food was but didn't bother incessantly. The ambience was cozy and authentic, with interesting pieces of art that weren't too garish. Now the food, it was absolutely delicious. We went for the onion bhajia, the palak paneer, vegetable biryani, and two naan. The onion bhajia were warm, and could've been a bit more crunchy but they were absolutely delicious. The palak paneer had a perfect warm spinach flavour and the paneer was very nice and tender. Naan was nice and light, with a bit too much butter, but very fresh. And the biryani had the perfect ratio of vegetables to rice! I'm very pleasantly surprised, I wish we had a place like this in Toronto! read more

Singh's is King! Simply the best South Asian food I've had since living in India. Fresh, vibrant, perfectly spiced food. Try the green tikka and the Rogan josh (ask for medium high spice) with perfect naan. Great service too & BYOB policy. read more

This is a review for a large delivery - not the restaurant experience. We wanted to have people over for a celebration and also wanted vegetarian Indian food. So, I came in a few days before, made an order for 12 people, and even got a 10% discount on the delivery menu prices. The whole process was very friendly and painless. They even offered me tea while they were taking the order. I had to pay a small cash deposit and the rest was paid on delivery. I called to add a couple of things on the day of the event, and it was no problem. Delivery arrived on the agreed upon time, the food was hot, nothing was missing from the order, and it tasted excellent. I even had leftovers for the next day. If you need to host, I warmly recommend their take out / delivery! read more

Great BYOW Indian place on St-Laurent. The palak paneer was delicious and very flavorful. The meat was on the dry side though (we had the butter chicken), but the sauce was perfect. Naan bread was fluffy yet crispy, and I would recommend picking coconut rice 100%. Do try the 2 specialty desserts: ras malai which is like a crustless cheesecake in sweet cream, and gulab jamun which is a honey-soaked fried ball of dough. SO. GOOD. I now want to try everything on their menu. read more

The food was delicious. I am a tourist perhaps from Toronto and this is the beat Indian food experience ever. Everything was like I was trying it for the first time. The food, decor and even ambience. It was something I always searched for in Toronto but could never find. I'd come back to Montreal just to eat here again. read more

Great food, warm service and tasty food. Located at the old Bhudda bar, this cute small restaurant will probably please you They will also accommodate you if you can't eat as spice as Indian food normally is... :) Owners are very friendly and can accommodate your group of friends for a dinner even on a Saturday night read more

The place is good but the taste of their Biryani and paneer tikka is same. We ordered a veg thali and they didn't have any curry options. The salad seemed to be frozen one. Moreover while we were eating our paneer tikka they bought our thali at the same time, hence naan and everything else went cold within few minutes. There is a difference between Starters and main course... and I don't eat everything at once!! Onions in paneer tikka were rotten so I didn't really enjoyed the tikka and rest of the food read more
