Reviews For Etoile des Indes (Star Of India)

We went there at 9:30. They close at 10, they were so friendly didn’t rush us at all. We tried a mix of different dishes for 2 people. Everything was sooooo delicious, but butter chicken was another level!!! I am regretting why I didn’t discover this place earlier! We brought the rest of it home and ate it for the next day lunch. It was giving us the same satisfaction! I cannot wait to go there again and try other dishes! I’m informing all my Indian food lover friends about this Chef’s magic!

Great Indian food in generous portions. Very affordable, too! My wife and I couldn’t finish the food and we are big eaters btw.

I love this restaurant. I've been eating here ever since a friend of mine brought me 6 years ago. Their naan is the best in Montreal and I have tried many others (when ever I'm not the one choosing the restaurant.) They are super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this place especially for those of us who love Indian food but can't eat spicy food. Their butter chicken is so good too. They were very kind to my 9 months old baby.

Extremely good and great staff. I am a client for well over 20 years. Tried a lot of Indian restaurants in the Montreal area and this one is fantastic. Also, over the years its always exactly the same taste close to perfection. The butter chicken is THE BEST around but it worth trying many other plates too. I no longer live close by but I do make a detour to go pick up myself (not with delivery app).

What a pleasant experience we had. The service was lovely, the staff were very kind & helpful. We ordered the tandoori chicken, the biranni l chicken and vegetables. The chicken was cooked to perfection, so tender with such aromatic spices. I highly recommend.

Extremely fresh, piping hot, fairly priced, and the best vindaloo I've had in all of Montreal. I'm going to come back here again and again. Even at the end of the day, the veggies in the soup were perfectly crisp (not too crunchy and not too soft). No idea how they did that! I came in 30 mins before close and they welcomed me with amazing service. Love this place!

We had the chicken liver appetizer and onion baji for starters. Both very tasty. Then beef josh rogan and a lamb curry. Again very flavourful. If you like it hot, then you have to tell them, as the dishes are all very mild. Would totally recommend.
