But I decided to spice things up a bit and try the special tiffin; my goodness gracious it did not disappoint. This is a really scrumptious spread: delicious perfectly spiced sambar and 2 chutneys are the showstoppers, they are surrounded by beautiful and elaborate dishes like pongal, medhu vada, idli, and the scrumptious buttery sweet to top it all off. Pongal is a sacred dish, served during the eponymous Tamil harvest festival and can be made sweet or savoury; it is the epitome of Tamil comfort food. The savoury version is served with the special tiffin. The fermented flour of mixed rice and lentil is so delicately flavoured with ghee, cashew, fenugreek, asafoetida, peppercorn, fresh kari leaves, cumin, and ginger. It is simmered to perfection. I tried the podi idli. Podi is a coarse mixed spice powder made with ground dry spices that typically contains dried chilis, black gram, chickpeas, salt and sesame seeds. The spice mix is commonly referred to in informal speech as "gunpowder" or chutney powder and is mixed with melted ghee. Now that's the breakfast of champions. Holy utapam, Kumar, I'm gonna eat your face off. Imagine if utapam replaced the main actor in the film Face Off. I would totally go do a face off for some utapam. My go-to utapam is the tomato chilly garlic onion utapam. You'll love it.

Their butter chicken is incredible. It is jam packed with flavour and spices. It is a perfect meal on a wintery evening. The lentils are also delicious. They do not skip out on the portion sizes as well as the amount of actual lentils in the dish which is nice. The naan bread is incredible. There's always some crunch as well as some fluff to it. The texture is amazing. The chicken tikka was a new dish that I tried this time. It came out sizzling hot, full of steam. There were green peppers, onions and large portions of chicken. It was also delicious, full of great flavour. Overall, this restaurant is amazing! The staff is friendly and kind and the food is delicious.

We also tried several of the sweets from the dessert counter. These was very pretty, but maybe not for me (I don't tend to eat sweet). Nice spot, I wish it was closer to my neighbourhood!

Stumbled upon this restaurant during the street mural fest (there was a food stand just outside…read moretheir restaurant) and I had only decided to order from here due to the convenience of the fact that there was no line. I didn't expect much of it at all and had only wanted to fill my belly. Little did I know, but I had the BEST butter chicken ever!!!! I'm usually quite picky when it comes to butter chicken as I usually find most plates quite spicy/too sour/not creamy enough/or is seasoned with too much spice. The butter chicken here is simply amazing! It fits all my criteria- it offers a hint of spiciness to kick off my taste buds, it's creamy and it's rich in flavour. Most of all, it's affordable (for only $8!) and comes in a perfect ratio of rice, butter chicken and naan. It was so simple and so delicious. Definitely will return for the butter chicken and will try everything else on the menu!

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!

I've been going here for at least 5 years and I'll be the first person to tell you that the quality of the food has not diminished despite its newfound popularity among those outside of Parc Ex. I live in The Sud-Ouest and never regret making the commute out to indulge with my boyfriend or wow out-of-town guests who have never experienced the magic of a good thali. Let's dig into a typical visit to Chand Palace: it doesn't matter what time of day it is, there will always be a crowd already inside. Don't let this dishearten you. I promise it is worth the wait (and the line always moves fast!). Once inside, you'll be greeted with menus and on the house papadum to snack on while you make your decision. I recommend indulging in an order of pakoras or onion bhajis along with your main meal. It's a lot of food, and you'll have leftovers to bring home, but their deliciously crispy apps are not to be missed. The thali is always worth it, for lunch or for dinner (the price increases a bit at dinner time). You never know what dishes you'll get, but it makes every visit exciting -- and it's a great way to ensure you're always trying something new even if you fall into the habit of going to Chand for every occasion (guilty). My personal favourite is the shahi paneer. I've yet to find another Indian restaurant to make it so creamy and delightful! Every time I leave Chand Palace, I'm amazed by the quality-to-price ratio. I'm not exaggerating when I say you can take a group of 5 out to a dinner for under $75. This makes for a great economical trick when you want to treat your out-of-town guests to a delicious meal on you! Oh, and don't forget: Chand Palace is BYOB so make sure to stop in at an SAQ before making your way to Parc Ex (where the Depanneur wine is insanely overpriced).
