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!

We were craving Indian food. Found this spot leaving another restaurant one night. While the food…read morewas pretty good we ordered the food a little too spicy.

Everything we ordered was delicious but they definitely do spice right. We didn't ask for anything mild as we both enjoy spicy food however I was guzzzzzling my water for dear life. This place definitely seems like a local well known spot and it is no frills, and is loud/lively. Delicious Nan. Large portions, left with a bunch of leftovers ever when we felt we were under- ordering for us. Highly highly recommend!

They have a separate drink menu, and the wine was pretty good, especially for cutting through some of the spice and heaviness of the food. We started with the Chili Garlic Broccoli which was also our favorite! Just the right amount of crispy with great sauce and seasonings. We then had one of the Gobi dishes because we also wanted some fried cauliflower. I want to say it was either the 65 or the Chili. Also spicy and delicious. My sister had the Butter Chicken fries which were heavy but so good and smothered in curry. I had the paneer tikka I believe which was a large serving and we also shared a curry with chickpeas (Chana masala?), rice and garlic naan for the table. The naan was excellent and I'd come back just to try the other kinds they offer. Service was a bit slow but the authentic food here made up for it.

Wow this place was fabulous. Some of the best Indian food we've had in years. We had a…read moreresplendent lunch, that turned out to be massively over-ordered due to the huge portions. We started with the crispy corn and onion pakora apps. Both great, but either would have done the 3 of us. Then South Asian lamb curry, chicken saag (coconut spinach sauce), and butter chicken biryani. Each absolutely delicious. We ate maybe half each dish, and just had another great meal of the leftovers. Our server was very helpful and friendly, and the place was full of happy customers; lots of business lunchers. The room is fine, though weirdly lit (combination of warm and cold lighting). One thing to be aware of is they were out of whole pages of the 15-page menu. So I would suggest asking first. They told us the South Asian lamb curry would be extremely hot, but either they were overcautious or they toned it down because it was fine. So I hope you enjoy it!

Incredible establishment…read more Been craving Indian food for several months now and found ourselves in Montreal yearning for a good meal. A friend recommend Atma and what a blessing that was. Monday night so very lowkey. We got the butter chicken, chicken tikka Masala, some unreal lamb forgot the name, and the paneer (cheese). Paneer was seriously spicy, as advised, and overall everything was amazing. The rice with the lamb was incredible, and the 2 chickens speak for themselves. Didn't drink but I hear the cocktails are out here. My photos are horrible so I won't post but I recommend all of the things we ordered plus Raita plus anything else on the menu. Garlic shrimp supposed to be unreal but we sadly passed on that one. Overall 10/10 big up the yout ATMA! Must go

They have a little relaxation seat in the window filled with rocks gives a zen feel to the place on busy nights. Service was great and food was excellent. The samosa was our favourite part it wasn't your average fried 2 piece samosa with a sweet sauce instead it was open faced and was all mixed up with a great sauce. The tandoori shrimp were packed with flavour and spice, if you don't like spicy then I suggest you let them know or pick something else. Butter chicken was great not to sweet and not to tomatoey just right. The lamb korma was perfect they nailed it And of course you have to do the tandori platter it's to good! Great owner and great servers. If you're looking for a large group area they have a cool seating beside the stairs a big table or at the top of the restaurant they have a spot with large booths where you take your shoes off and walk on to fluffy carpet.
