Maison Indian Curry

Dahi vada and panner pakoda are really good and pani puri is okay. I did not like the main course at all (I had madras panner and garlic naan). I felt like the curry is not cooked well and even the garlic naan felt like a frozen one. I am really disappointed with the quantity they are serving. Although the prices are reasonable, the quantity is too less for the price.

Great experience! The food was delicious, full of rich flavors and perfectly spiced. The service was friendly and efficient, making us feel very welcome. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended!

Have been searching for a good Indian restaurant and I have found it. In the heart of the Indian community is this wonderful restaurant. Ordered the Chicken Biriyani and the Butter Chicken, I was not disappointed. The biryani's made with aromatic basmati rice with just the right amount of spices for my taste, not too strong but not bland either. The butter chicken has a delicious creamy sauce with chunks of chicken so soft that it melts in your mouth. I have not tried other restaurants, but this one is worth visiting.

This Indian restaurant is simply excellent! I've always had a soft spot for Indian cuisine, and I couldn't have been happier with what they served us. Curious to explore the full range of flavors, I ended up ordering a variety of their appetizers and they were absolutely delicious! The portions were generous, and the dishes came out of the kitchen quickly, making the whole dining experience even better. The staff was incredibly sweet and eager to help, offering recommendations with big smiles. Without a doubt, this place has easily made its way into my top 5 favorite Indian restaurants!

Decent restaurant - my go-to restaurant for Indian food! Negatives: Inconsistent, especially quantity. I ordered a batura once and it was 60% of its usual size. But the naan I ordered on the same day was around 20% bigger. I often feel a bit uncomfortable after eating here. Once I got light food poisoning although it could have been from something else. Maybe I should order less haha. The starters don't seem fresh and aren't as tasty as the rest of the menu. Positives: The main dishes usually taste amazing and are quite good even on the bad days. Butter chicken, shahi paneer, chola batura - you name it - they all taste great. Their clientele seems quite mixed - lots of Indians but lots of people from other continents as well. It seems that they can prepare food for everyone which is a remarkable skill if you ask me. The service is quite great. They are fairly busy in the evenings but they try to accommodate you even if you are in a big group or alone. However, it is almost completely empty around 4 pm. But the quality of service doesn't drop. I saw a couple of the waiters practising french which was heartening to see. After all the great service, you pay at the counter - the tip is completely optional! This is so marvelous. However, I still leave an extra tip of 10-20$ if I came with a big group and hogged a big table for 3+ hours in the evening. To be fair, I would probably give them a 4 star if I compared them with indian restaurants in other north american cities. But when I am in Montreal, I come back here again and again. Because the other Indian restaurants are really not great and frighteningly inconsistent. So, 5 stars for you maison indian curry. Stay awesome and try to be consistent as much as you can.

OMG the Chat papri was so fresh and authentic . If you love North Indian food this is the place . Authentic Delhi street food and curries are speciality. Bhathure channa dish is very much same we used to eat in India. Don’t forget to taste their mango lassi.

Authentic, delicious, and generous are the three words i’d use to describe this place. Everything from the Samosas to the Lassi felt authentic and packed so much flavour. The texture of the fresh Naan was akin to a cloud, while the shrimp madrasi truly packed a spicy punch. Cherry on top; the portions were VERY generous and the prices absolutely reasonable. I recommend sharing the Channa Samosas as it could be an entire meal on its own.

Maison Indian Curry offers an exceptional dining experience with its delectable menu and inviting ambiance. The rich, aromatic flavors of their Indian cuisine, coupled with attentive service, make it a five-star destination for anyone seeking an authentic culinary journey. The diverse range of dishes caters to various palates, ensuring a memorable dining experience for both newcomers and seasoned Indian food enthusiasts. The cozy yet elegant atmosphere adds to the overall charm, making Maison Indian Curry a standout choice for those seeking a delightful gastronomic adventure. THIS IS ALI NOOR & THIS IS MY REVIEW

Indian resto bustling with people! Kids had the butter chicken thali which was a good deal. We also tried an indian appetizer (puri pari) with mango lassi. Ordered a tasty mild lamb dish (had to order rice and naan on the side since it is not included in the price), and the sizzling chicken tikka/pork + naan dish. Wasn't able to finish!

I dropped in during lunch. I played safe and ordered the Thali. The food was served on a metal tray. The portions were reasonable. Everything tasted great. The sauce for the butter chicken was slightly thin. I enjoyed everything else.

Came here for dinner with friends, there are other restaurants in a 100m radius but we chose this one because the naan was cheaper (highly NOT scientific reasoning). We were 4 and we enjoyed our meal bere. I ordered the regular naan and the chicken vindaloo. On the menu, it said "super spicy", I still ordered it since normally I can take spice pretty well. When I started eating it, it WAS VERY SPICY *beware* : my mouth went numb throughout the night but I still managed to finish it. I also tried the butter chicken and the lamb curry which were very good. Taking off 1 star because of the mediocre service even though there was only around 20 people and 3 waitresses working on the floor & they forgot to cook 1 of the dishes so my friend had to wait a while before getting her butter chicken.

Great service when it not so busy (special days) Naan is fluffy but getting smaller and smaller Flavor is always stable Sauces are nice Portion/price is reasonable Senior staffs are good, but newbies need more training... If they know you, they will serve you better Choose the seats that are not close to the aisle Environment is alright Although not truly authentic but worth trying when you are in Montréal!

There was many seatings inside and it was clean. The service was also efficient. You do have to go pay in front. Food was good aswell. We got the non-veg thali and samosa chaat. The samosa chaat was quite flavorful and had some spice to it. The thali was a big portion for the price, so it was definitely worth it. The different food in the thali tasted good aswell. However, as an Indian, I didn't find it to be spicy. Still enjoyable! Overall, a great spot if you want good Indian food at a good price

I love their dal makani. In my opinion it is the best I've ever tried. Their service is welcoming and efficient.

I love this place so much! My favourite spot to get my Indian food fix. (probably the best in town) My last order was vegetarian due to religious reasons ( "temporary" vegetarianism on preassigned dates as a rite of abstinence or purification. ) . Malai Kofta 5/5 Aloo gobhi 4/5 Paneer vindaloo 5/5 The description of makai kofta on ubereats is: dumpling made of fresh vegetables and cheese in a cream sauce. So, in my asian mind I was thinking of a stuffed dumpling but to my pleasant surprise it was more of an american style dumpling- a ball of dough cooked in a sauce/broth. It was so flavourful and amazing. The curry was so creamy it was like eating a vegetarian butter chicken! Aloo gohbi was also very good just too oily. Paneer vindaloo was also delicious! I usually order the chicken vindaloo and the paneer was definitely a good chicken substitute for me since vindaloo curry is spicy the paneer helps balance the spicy and slightly sour curry. I always order the chicken vindaloo, chicken biryani and butter chicken all of which at 5/5! 100% recommend.

Ordered takeout from here. The food portions were tiny and the food was subpar at best. Their mango lassi was fantastic and authentic which I appreciated. We ordered a thaali which was good portions but also ordered a chicken biryani and a La Carte chicken dishes which had tiny portions. I've had better Indian food in Toronto. The food was so average I didn't take pics which I normally always do!!

Continuing my search for legitimate Pakistani & Indian food in Montreal, I decided to order from Maison Indian Curry for Lunch after reading the many many positive reviews. We ordered a Vegetarian Thali & Chicken Biryani. I was pleasantly surprised by the Chicken Boneless Biryani. It tasted home made, had all the right flavours and had good quality ingredients. The 4 stars are for the Biryani. The Thali was disappointing. It had Black Lentils/Daal, Paneer Curry & Mixed Vegetables Curry. The Daal tasted good but Paneer Curry didn't taste fresh & the Vegetables Curry was made using frozen veggies. The Nan was okay as well. However for something listed as a Chefs Special on Uber Eats, it was a bit underwhelming to receive something so average. Coming to terms with the fact that this restaurant will have hits and misses on their menu. Will definitely be ordering the Chicken Biryani again and recommend it to anyone craving Pakistani/Indian Biryani.

My family and I have been going to Maison Indian Curry countless times. Every second Saturday, at work we order food via UberEats, and today it is supposed to be Indian food. We zeroed down to Maison Indian Curry. I ordered way too much. My chaat papri was huge as an appetizer. It looked like a meal. Sadly the papri (spicy chips) were stale, and I was disappointed. My paneer tandoori was delicious but super heavy inside my belly, and with naan combination, it was perfect. My experience at the restaurant is better and the food tastes better than delivery or take out.

First and foremost, whenever I go to an Indian restaurant, I always order everything non-spicy. Personally, I don't like when food is so spicy that I can't taste the actual flavours of the meal. The "Chaat Papri" was amazing!!! I loved it so so much!! The "Bhel Puri" also tasted good but it wasn't for me as I had preferred the Chaat Papri. I thoroughly enjoyed the non-veg Thali. Butter chicken was sweet and soft. The Aloo (potato) Gobi on the side is wonderful too. The Naan was nice. They could have added a Chutney to the side for the Chicken Tandoori and rice because it is dry without it. What I found unique about the non-veg Thali compared to other Indian restaurants, is the sweet yummy Rice Pudding on the side. My mother ordered a Chicken Dosa and she requested non-spicy but they had added several fried red chilli's in it but she removed it. Thankfully it wasn't spicy! She enjoyed it too. Mango Lassi was creamy, thick and delicious! Tasted like actual mangoes and not the fake artificial ones. The service was slow because it was quite busy but the waitresses were nice and I made sure to tip them as they were working very hard. I will definitely come again! Thank u for a wonderful experience Maison India!

We came here on our anniversary and accidentally (on purpose) ordered wayyy too much food and it was fun and glorious. The service was sweet and a little flustered. We had no problem ordering and getting water and our bill and stuff but we saw some other tables around us having trouble. It's a joyful chaos in my opinion and you need to be in a laid back good mood to enjoy it. Skip it if you're not feeling that. The food is high quality and delicious. Sometimes Indian food destroys me, which I don't blame on the food but on my crazy-person insides. But I had no issue at all here. There's tons of spice, the flavours are layered and delicate, the breads gorgeous and fresh. All in all, I'm super thankful to Yelpers for directing us here when we searched for vegetarian Indian! We've both tried a ton of different spots making great food in this area and our hopes were high and we were delighted.

A decent Indian restaurant in the midst of busy streets. Stopped by for early dinner and was surprised to see how all the tables were occupied. Luckily we got a place quickly. Orders took quite sometime coz of the busy hours I guess. I got a non vegetarian thail. My husband got a vegetarian thail. Yes, thali served for dinners too here. The veg thali had two vegetarian curries, one black lentils curry plus roti n plain white rice. On the other hand the non veg thali had one starter (tandoori leg) one veggie curry (black lentils) and one chicken curry plus rice n roti. The quality was good and the quantity was sufficient for one person. The price is quite reasonable. It's crowded during lunch and dinner time, make sure you stop by early so that you avoid waiting. One down point is that the place is filled with tables you have to swish in between to sit down.

I adore their fresh and yummy dishes. My staple is butter chicken, korma and onion badji. But they have amazing mango lassi also. Keep it up

I love their Indian thaali. Indian food is one of my fav cuisine and they did a good job. I love their samosas- so crunchy and the Indian street dishes too. They have a good service too. It's not too bad for the prices as well.

Amazing absolutely delicious Indian food. Very authentic The Chicken Tikka Masala was so good. Couldn't stop eating!

I've had cravings for Indian food so after a bit of research and recommendation from a friend, I had to try this place. I've been twice in the past week now and can definitely see myself as a regular. Tasty, affordable, lots of choices in a low key setting, although it does get loud and cramped. Maison Indian Curry is very popular, people stroll in for take out and meals by the minute it seems. I've tried their chicken saag, butter chicken, kabab naan rolls, shrimp biryani, dal makhni (lentils in a creamy sauce) and vegetable samosas which were all delicious. I love that their currys aren't watered down, sauces are always rich and great for dipping. The mango lassi is a must, especially for someone like me who doesn't tolerate spicy food very well, this thick yogourt drink helps cool me down instantly. My only concern was that service can be a little slow and the prices advertised aren't always what you end up paying as servers are prone to making mistakes. All their orders are written on paper and then they add up the final price manually on a calculator, there were some disparities. Samosas are listed as 2$ on menu, I paid 1.50$ no complaint there, and they even forgot to charge me for another order of it, but then the kabab roll cost me a dollar extra. Everything is pretty cheap but if you're ordering a multitude of things, be careful of inaccurate orders! Note, this place takes debit and cash only. And it is NOT a BYOW restaurant. We saw a couple people show up with bottles, probably confusing Indian Curry with another Indian competitor from across the street.

ATMOSPHERE: Nice little restaurant at the corner of a street. Might be hard to spot due to all the establishments surrounding it. The interior is nice and has hints of Indian decor. FOOD: The food was very tasty! Especially the butter chicken. I had their chicken Thali and it came with rice, naan and a rice pudding-like dessert. I loved everything however, the only thing I really didn't like was that the butter chicken only came with about 3-4 pieces of meat. Next time, I'm just gonna get the normal curry dishes with rice on the side. PRICE: The thali was 12$. I wish the portions were slightly bigger for the price I paid but it wasn't bad at all. SERVICE: The staff is nice and accommodating. They have no problem explaining the menu to you if you have any questions.

I always go to Chand Palace across the street, but my friends recommended this place, so i gave it a shot. We were seated very quickly, but as it got later, the restaurant became more and more crowded. The plates/cups/utensils/tables are a lot nicer than Chand Palace. The entire restaurant has a fancier vibe. The food is a little more expensive here. I had a samosa craving, so I ordered 4 samosas (2 for 2,50$). It's a bit more expensive since their neighbour sells 3 for the same price. In my opinion, these samosas did not taste as good. They seemed more oily and the outside was too thick. On a plus side, they give two full bottles of sauce, so no risk of running out! I tasted my friends dishes and we also ordered some veggie pakoras. Everything was good, but the common thread seems to be how oily everything was! The naan was actually glowing, because of the amount of oil that covered it! The service was nice. Nothing exceptionally remarkable about it (very average). All in all, I'm glad I tried it, but next time, I'm sticking to Chand Palace!

Visited this place few weeks back, lucky for them it was a tiring long day so we were like four hungry bears who could gobble up anything that resembled food. Maison Indian curry still exceptionally managed to ruin our palates. It started with the dirty tables, then the Indian staff who despite working around Indians day in and day out- managed to have an accent that switched between British and American every few seconds and lastly the sad excuse for Indian food. The food service was quick, but that's cause they didn't put any effort into it. It was bland, the chicken tasted like it was made long back and just dunked into gravy. The paneer was the only thing everyone ended up having. The breads were good and soft. I'd never return there and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The service was below average and it was too cramped (claustrophobic people take note)

I was wandering and spotted that restaurant, I quickly checked Yelp reviews and decided to try it myself. When I arrived I was seated promptly it wasn't very crowdy for a Saturday afternoon. The service was very quick, I ordered a mango lassi (I just love that drink) which happened to be one of the best I've recently tasted as well as the butter chicken menu. Hum... The main dish was good maybe it would have been better if I had more than two lonely pieces of chicken fighting for survival in the sauce. Overall it was a nice experience for the amount paid 7$/main dish and 3$/lassi. I would recommend this place for the rapidity of service and for it's affordable food.

Never ever go there. Chicken masala is a dried chicken bone with rice. This place is robbery.

Great Indian restaurant! The chicken dishes are 100% pure white meat - which is a bonus. The Chicken Tikka in particular was a real treat and is served on a sizzling cast iron plate piled high with onions and other veggies. The Taj Mahal & Corba beer on tap are perfect for pairing with the spicy & sweet dishes.... and are a bargain at $5 a pint! Spent $75 for 2 people including beers and had a full meal for 1 leftover to take home.

Fantastic food and a wide selection of Indian dishes from the north and south. Wonderfully spicy--both complex and very picanté. Prices are really good--around $10ish and the servings are portioned just right! Serving staff was pleasant--and hats off to these amazing restauranteurs who speak French, English AND their home country language. Impressive.

Very good food at reasonable pricing. I let my friend do the ordering but all the dishes we good were very good. Expect to leave this place with a curry smell so if you plan to go out after dinner, I wouldn't recommend you going there. The place is renovated so it looks pretty clean compared ro other Indian restaurant in the neighborhood.

Their chenna bhature is delicious and their veg thali is my favourite! Paneer tikka masala is my another favourite ;) ! I won't recommend their dosa ( their sides for dosa is not the best!)

Food Good quality food. A little on the spicy side. But very authentic flavours and the ingredients seemed to be fresh. The meat, vegetables, bread, rice, and desserts all seemed to taste good. Service Prompt. We had a little wait but when they started everything was quick. Decor The place is focused on food and not the decor or environment. Be prepared to eat a a simple no frills place. It looked clean. Price Very affordable. Misc Loved the samosas. Reminded me of the genuine North Indian samosas (with potatoes) that I had eaten years ago in North India. Very tasty and great flavors. Also loved their mango kulfi - served on a stick and a little hard but good flavor and taste.

I love this place. My significant other and I try Indian food everywhere we go and we've tried several in Montreal, but we always find out way back here. The food is very affordable, the taste is exquisite, and the service is great. This time we tried the chicken saag (excellent), the aubergine (good but needs a little more flavor and it would taste better without the peas), the cauliflower and potato dish (also excellent), the channa samosa (we order this every time because it's an excellent alternative to regular samosas and it tastes amazing), and the pulao rice (also great). Their mango lassie is probably one of the best I've had as well. Will definitely be coming back!

Been going here for years. I find the authenticity of the food has definitely changed over the years but it's still a staple in the city for Indian food. It's definitely been adjusted to the non Indian crowd but at least it's palatable. I would give it a 3.5 stars because it's clean, staff is prompt and food is okay.

My favourite Indian restaurant in the city. Just because of the convenient location and the great tasting food, the place feels like home. The Chana bathura is beyond amazing. The non-vege thali is pretty decent, however they increased the price recently. The butter chicken and lamb curries are super delicious and I prefer their naan a lot more than their chicken biriyani. The chicken biriyani includes the same chicken from the butter chicken, rather than legs making it less tasty. The naans are very fresh and fantastic to eat with the curries.

Good food, reasonable prices. Restaurant looks clean inside. Details: Food was mediocre, nothing to be thrilled about but at the same time it was not bad. If I lived in the area I would maybe go there from time to time because of the price though, not the food specifically. However, I live 50 minutes away from the place and I went there because a friend of mine suggested it to me. Because it was not anything extraordinary I will probably not go there again in the near future. FOOD I ordered Chicken Korma with naan and I have tried it many times in different restaurants around the world and the korma I know is usually nicely sweet, sometimes even with raisins. This Korma, sadly, was salty and a little bit bitter. There were a lot of kardamom seeds in it which made it probably so bitter. For me it was dissapointing. The naan on the other hand was very good. My boyfriend had the Lamb Saag and according to him it was nice and he really liked it. SERVICE The servis was nice. Girls were smiling all the time. I think the place is missing an order because as the place got more and more crowded, the service was struggling a lot. It would be great if they divided the place into "sections" that would be waited by each waiter/ess separately. So they know who already ordered their food and who did not.

Very good and flavourful vegetarian Thali. The portions were quite generous and the naan was nice and warm and buttery. Very good meal at a good price point.

Came to this Indian restaurant on the recommendation of a pal. From the outside, it seems like not much. But on the inside, is a busy and bustling little joint. The menu is robust and very cheap. You've got tons of options for those looking for everything from veg options to chicken to seafood. So if you are visiting with friends who have different dietary needs, you'll be in luck. The veggie pakoras were a little denser than I would have liked, but it didn't ruin the meal. Saag paneer was little some of the best I have ever eaten. The paneer cheese was light, delicate and literally just melted in your mouth. The daal makhani was buttery and smooth and cooked to perfection. Also, the butter chicken curry was out of this world. So rich and wonderful. I split the bill with my friend and for 3 mains and two appetizers and an order of garlic naan and rice, my total came to $26 with tax and tips. Seriously, eat here. It's cheap and probably some of the best Indian food in Montreal.

Pretty good Indian food decent price service was kind of slow but not awful. Was a bit dark inside I took the lamb combo plate that came with some rice I had a little left overs plate was more filling hen I thought even if it didn't look so big

Great discovery! Dishes had distinct flavours. Sizes are on the smaller side but prizes also are on the cheapest end. This allowd to try multiple dishes. Service was pretty good. Restaurant was very clean. Highly recommended!

Good price. Fresh naan bread. Their butter chicken is a must-try! Authentic Indian cuisine!

My husband and I went there today. We ordered panipuri and masala dosa. The pani puru was bot what i has expected at all. We were both dissapointed but then again we ARE bengali, I guess punjabis make it differently. The dosa was, as my husband says 'el perfecto'. The restaurant has a nice ambience and we both loved that they serve water in a very old timey looking brass jug and goblet. The other items were resonably priced. Would go there again.

Very decent curry thali. With a suprise piece of tandoori chicken. Good nan. Etc, for only $9.00. Lunch menu. Including weekends. Efficient service, ok ambiance.

amazing foods, amazing value. I would say It's the best in the town! better go to the restaurant earlier and try that real indian samosa. it's pretty loud and busy at dinner.

I would update my review only to say that while some things inevitably slip through the cracks, upon our last order we got some soups. My dad scooped up what looked like a metal thread from one of those steel-wool pot scrubbers or something similar. I'm sure it was an over-sight but we're lucky that he saw it and didn't ingest it or choke on it. Otherwise the taste is still great.

I don't know how this place can have no reviews yet. It was packed and pretty good. I went here because we were looking for south Indian food. They have north Indian food as well for those that are in the mood for that food, but I didn't try it so I can't comment on it. Anyways, we ordered channa samosa, veg samosa, paneer dosa and masala dosa. All of the food was good and we definitely ordered too much for just two people. The masala and paneer dosas are very rich and very filling. The paneer dosa was a hit with me. I was absolutely delicious. It might become a new staple with me. I highly recommend it. The servers were friendly and efficient workers. The price was also right. Basically you can't go wrong. It is a little walk, but not too far and definitely worth it, from Park Station.

My favourite Indian restaurant in montreal esp comparing to how affordable it is, everything i tried there so far has been delicious

The flavor is pretty decent, however, the portion size is pretty absurd tho. I ordered two main dishes for around 12 dollars each before tax, and each dish came in a 250ml deli container with nothing else...

I am so glad this place renovated, it looks out of place in Parc Ex. It used to be so cold in the winter here, I would have to put on my jacket while eating. They specialize in south Indian Cuisine, so typically much spicier. That was the only downside, it was not spicy enough. I had the butter chicken thali, I know it's not supposed to be spicy, but it should not be sweet either. The rice was a bit under-cooked and the potato dish was a bit too sour. My friend had the lamb curry thali and he said the same thing. The dosa was really good though, I get it every time I come here, The sambar really warmed me up on a cold day and the potato filling was a delight. Chand Palace was better last time, thali wise. If I go back, i'll explore the menu a bit more and get other stuff, I rarely get thali since it seems to be cooked for people that don't like spicy foods. The service was quick and efficient and the restaurant was full on dec 23, when the whole city seemed dead. The decor is quite nice and the prices are pretty good (they did not really jack up the prices for the renovations)

I ordered the lamb curry vegi-thali, with an order of samosas accompanied by a mango lassi, my dinner partner ordered a similar spread. We were served by two waitresses, one waitress came to take my food away a 1/2 hr after we received our orders, as my fork is still doing it's thing in my hand while I'm still, "quote on quote" dining. Then the other waitress comes back to ask me if they can take away my water, I didn't ask for the clearing of my table while I was obviously still there. Out to Lunch Waiting Staff!!! It's not a cafeteria but the staff treats you like it is. Nice decor and silver water jugs and glasses but I lost my appetite to ever recommend this place to anyone. Foodwise.. Small portions, then not enough sauce for Samosas. a tablespoon in a silver tin is insufficient, and when I asked for more, the waitress gave me a look... when I saw 2$ added to my bill afterwards I'm telling you I would of appreciated the waitress opened her mouth and spelled that out for me, unless she thought her job was to give me a look, then by all means save your sauce, I'm eating elsewhere. As I see a picture of the green sauce in someone else's review below I'm not impressed with the portion they gave me; literally 1/3 the amount of what was given to me; and the second time it was given to me at 2$ for asking it was again a tablespoon per tin. Plus the mango lassi is much better at Salateen Restaurant, food portions are ample and more tasty, added bonus they have free wi-fi and never charge for an adequate amount of accompanying sauce to your orders. They also give you space, come at appropriate times to refill your water and ask you if you need anything, the difference between an enjoyable experience and a sham which Maison Indian Curry is currently being. Charging me for extra sauce when I didn't ask for it in the original order and practically leaving the customer to ask for more just to make the appetizer palatable is not appetizing, it's disgusting wait staff practice! Next time I want to spend 20$ on a meal, I'll surely never have dinner there ever again!

One of the worst Indian restaurants to ever visit. The customer service is deplorable, animals could treat and provide better service. I complained to the manager but was only rudely brushed off. The food was beyond disgusting, I have never ever eaten such horrible food in my life. I could have scooped up dirt from the street and it would taste better. Don't ask for big plastic bags, the counter person has no idea what it is.

Yesterday we were craving some cheap Indian street food and decided to try out this restaurant to check out what they had to offer. We ordered Pani Puri, Vada Sambar, and Masala Dosa. Things went downhill pretty soon. Now being born and raised in India, I am always (consciously or not) searching for a taste of "authenticity" when it comes to Indian dishes. Especially when an Indian restaurant lists regional street food (like Papri Chaat, Paani Puri, Vadas) in their menus, it generates high level of expectations along with great anticipation especially for immigrants to relive memories of their childhood, holidays and decadent street food in their original homeland. Some tastes are not to be messed with, even to try and justify the changes as innovation or "to make it more suitable for North American taste-buds". I shall start with the Vada Sambar first. It was A TRAVESTY to say the least. I have been having Vada Sambar for over 28 years and have tasted it in different parts of India and outside of India too. This was the first time I saw anything like this. The Vadas came soaked in the Sambar, making them soggy and listless. One essential rule of thumb of Indian cuisine is that the bread cannot be soggy and if it loses its crunchiness, its unacceptable for the plate. Hold on,this is not over. As I took a small sample of the Sambar, I was confused. For the uninitiated, sambar is a lentil dish which is made with lots of vegetables (like eggplants and okra) and an essential ingredient in it is tamarind. Sambar is not authentic Sambar if not tempered with tamarind and a specific blend of spices (sambar powder). Here, the sambar they gave us, forget the T of tamarind, did not even have a single V of any vegetables. It was an unrecognizable flavor of a daal mocking to be sambar! The disappointment did not end here. The masala dosa came next. Though it was as spicy as it claimed to be, the sauces/daals it came with again proved to be a blunder. Dosas, nowhere in the dosa world is ever served with pudina (mint) chutney. It is always accompanied by two lentil dishes, yellow sambar and the white coconut sauce. Here maybe because there was a third compartment in the tray and they didnt want it to remain empty, filled it up with pudina (mint) chutney. Guys, pudina and dosas do not go together. And they are not MEANT to be together either. What is meant to be together is Tamarind and Sambar. Please get chefs who are aware of complementing flavours of Indian spices, sauces. It seems they are stuck in generic North Indian onion-ginger-garlic paste flavoured dishes and needs some training in managing other regional food varieties. By this time, my disappointment had reached such a high level that I just wanted to end the experience and leave. I am a puchhka (another regional version of paani-puri) lover at heart and always felt that I am cheating on puchhka if I happened to like a paani-puri. Thanks to this restaurant, my loyalty to pucchka remains steadfast.

Bad food 85% of the time, and last visit we had, the waitress couldn't understand English properly and did not want to go out of her way to verify if a menu item was still available. She simply said no to our request and so we just left!!

I had daal makhani, tandoori chicken, a paneer curry with garlic naan. They were all good. I also had the lamb biryani which wasn't that good.

Maison Indian Curry has a few things going for it. Nice mango shakes, Indian beer and vast quantities of cheap eats dished up on shiny Thalis, in a newly-renovated environment. I went there for a Masalah dosa, having heard that this was the place to go. What I got looked like a dosa, acted like a dosa, and almost tasted like a dosa. The potato filling was good, although not particularly flavorful. The dosa itself was too crispy to use as a scoop for the filling. The flavors in the sambar were muddy and over-cooked. The coconut chutney was bland and utterly nondescript. I have eaten excellent Masalah dosas in other North American cities (Pittsburgh, Chicago, Berkeley) and know how good they can taste. By comparison, this one was disappointingly generic.
