Malhi Sweets Restaurant et Sucreries

I am not sure what happen after trying this place before. Came back and I am utterly disappointed. 3 take out containers, aloo parata, and Nan bread.... 72$... and the food was very off. I had to add namuk (salt) and even the butter chicken was not even tasting like butter chicken, more pepper than anything else. Consistency is key and maybe the cook was away.

Very authentic indian cuisine (I went with indian friends), very tasty, good prices, good amount of food, diverse dishes in the menu, overall I recommend this restaurant. (amazingly, there is no nuts in their dishes/for those who have allergies).

I recently visited this indian restaurant, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The food was absolutely outstanding, bursting with authentic flavors. The owner was incredibly welcoming, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend this spot to all Indian cuisine lovers—it’s a must-try !

The food was extremely flavourful. All the food was made fresh and super authentic. The ambiance and vibe was homely. The service was exceptional. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Came to montreal from brampton and tried this place . The food was amazing and customer service is great. Really like this place. Will definetely back if ever come to montreal. Loved it !

I think I had better indian food but this is good too, love that there are pictures of celebrities all around hehe and didnt quite like my mango lassi

Loved this place ! Went there for the first time and felt the Recipes are rich and flavourful! Everything we had was tasty and couldn’t have asked for more . Now, their wine is really subpar but I was not going there for this . Good quality/price ratio!

There are many indian restaurants in parc ex but there is only one Malhi. Very good and professional service. My no 1 Indian restaurant. Try the spinach lamb, the naan bread and the lamb curry and let me know. Many stars and politicians also went to Malhi. Certainly for a reason! Take out is also available and much needed for certain occasion.

The host needs to learn to smile and not stare at people like a creep. The host/waiter needs to learn how to serve. He brings water, glasses, plates, utensils and food, and he leaves at the edge of the table, so we are kind of serving ourselves. When we ordered the food, wow it quickly arrived. Food Appetizers: Fish Pakora C- (fish was undercooked), Vegetables Pakora C- (super dry inside) and Malhi's special rolls made with potatoes, mixed vegetables, vermicelli and spices B+ Main dishes: Plain Naan bread and Garlic Naan Bread A+, Goat curry B- (felt a miss in the taste), non veg Thali with chicken curry A, lentil makhni B- (consistency was more liquid than thick, but perfectly blended with spices), shrimp biryani and chicken biryani D+(more liquid feel than a fried or baked rice, but spices were tasteful) Desert: Masala Chai A- This Indian restaurant is either hit or miss... is it an amazing place? No, but the amount of food we had, the price was beautiful. Still I am glad to try this place. Will I come back? Not willingly, but through invites... maybe.

amazing authentic Indian cuisine with friendly staff. would highly recommend if you love delicious Indian food.

Best Butter Chicken in the world!!!!!!! Naan is very rotini, moist, not dry. A friend recommended this place for butter Chicken. The seatings are a little tight, like not much privscy. They play Indian songs on the TV screens. 2 PM is dead. Busy hours are evenings and weekends. Butter chicken is recommended and it cost $14 with the naan Alcohol is served as well:)

This is a small family Indian restaurant near Acadie/Jarry. I've been here for so many years now. Parking is not too difficult within a 5 minutes walk from the restaurant. I am always greeted by the same man, which I believe is the owner of the restaurant. Their food, for the quality/price ratio is quite good! It's a very simple decorated restaurant, with Bollywood music in the background (on TVs). I've brought a few friends here and everyone liked it ! Please note that they take Visa, but not Mastercard.

On passe une commande pour 8 personnes, nous commandons régulièrement la-bas et une 1 fois sur 2 il manque des articles. On rappelle pour leur dire qu'il manque quelques choses et on se fait mettre sur attente. Très mauvais service client. Je me recommande pas. We place an order for 8 people, we regularly order there and one time out of two there are items missing. We call back to tell them that a few things are missing and we are put on hold. Very poor customer service. I don't recommend.

I visited this place for my Parantha cravings. I was told that they have all types of stuffed paranthas. However, to my disappointment there were only potato-stuffed ones. They were well done but overly priced. I am able to get much better priced and tasty ones right in downtown. I also ordered raita and chai. Chai was tasty, however, a tiny-tiny cup of chai costs 3$! I would atleast expect a decent sized cup for tea. Hence, for paranthas and chai I will not go back to this place. The service is good, the place is clean. However, the decor is a little cold. I do plan to go back for trying other things.

Great food! Ordered around 7 chicken biryanis for a NYE party and guests loved the food! Will definitely visit the restaurant for a sit down dinner soon. They have a see through kitchen and everything seemed clean and freshly prepared!

I came here with a group of fellow food lovers. The place was fairly full on a Thursday evening, but a table for 8 was available. We decided to each order a different dish, and try a bit of everything. The chicken tikka was great - the chicken was tender and flavourful and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. The saag paneer, a spinach dish with paneer cheese, was delicious - fresh pieces of ginger gave it a nice bite. We also had the goat curry. The goat was tender and moist. We mopped up the delicious sauces with fresh buttery naan bread or let it soak into the well cooked basmati rice. Service was friendly and efficient, and the staff has a good sense of humour.

Birdie Num Num We went a few months ago with the Yelp gang for a tasting of pretty much everything on the menu. The Food was well prepared with a very 'home made', authentic feel and not too spicy(I've eaten vindaloo that made me see through time). Service was prompt, polite and the beer was cheap; They stuck the landing. It's an experience, like eating in a Bollywood movie...but I've yet to have better Indian on the Island. waka waka

Great tasting food, a bit expensive for what you get, but overall a good experience with on time service

Ordered aloo paratha. Got plain paratha. The host will not even accept that it's normal paratha. Horrible service!! Stay away!

Small and quaint restaurant! Seems like a family runned which Im a big fan of! A sign that we're gonna get a great home cooked style feast... Had the butter chicken and friend had marsala... seasoning and flavors were on point. All that at a great $.

pretty bland. Thalis do not include rice. But it gets much worse. After eating dinner here, I woke up at 430am and began vomiting. Disgusting.

It's a little walk from any subway station but who doesn't enjoy an evening stroll in the freezing Montreal cold!? Small inside, you might have to wait a bit before being seated and this even on a week night (prooving that I am not the only one enjoying an evening walk!). We opted for the thalis, vegetarian and lamb (tip: rice is not included so you will need to order it as well and pay it above the thalis price). The food was bland, lacking in quality and clearly reheated (if heated at all) and the host was just looking annoyed to be there and almost throwing our food on the table. Fortunately, the other staffs were more pleasant and attentive. Overall, it's more pricey and less good than other options in the area so next time I will take my evening stroll in another direction...

Incredible restaurant! My partner and I just arrived into town from Toronto and were craving some Indian flavours. We went for a long walk to get here and it was well worth it! The vegetable samosas were the perfect texture and so fresh! We also had a vegetable biriyani and chicken jalfrezi both complemented each other nicely! The tandoori naan was so soft and chewy. Such wonderful flavours! We took four samosas to go for a late night snack! Highly recommend, will come again!

First off, who cares Catherine Deneuve and Leelee Sobieski came here? Well I guess the owners still do. I'm pretty sure restaurants power to attract new diners is based on their food and not their past glory days... I have come here 3 times now and twice my girlfriend has come home vomiting her food, not because of a disease but because (I guess) how bad the food is? Only place she's ever reacted to so badly, and she has no problem with Pushap! or even KFC! I've read a lot of reviews on here and agree that the host is too present and mute (?), staring at me while we eat or watching the 2 (!!) TVs that try to pass as atmosphere with Bollywood movies playing...very distracting. I came out feeling like I had spent 40$ for an indian variation on a Subway restaurant, from the chairs, tables, the TVs, and the impossibility of finding a warm corner to sit away from the winter cold from the front door, to the back door where cooks kept carrying out buckets full of their prepared food, down to a basement? Who knows? All I kept thinking was that this is another example of a "Kitchen Nightmare" where a quick look at their kitchen and refrigerators would make you throw up like my girlfriend. Atmosphere is a 1/10 Food is a 3/10 Price is a 4/10 Past glory days pictures are a 6/10 (for laughs)

Two words: Catherine Deneuve. What other Montreal restaurant (of any stripe?) can boast a photograph of Catherine Deneuve (and Leelee Sobieski [?]) on premises, and positively glowing after what was obviously another amazing Malhi Sweets meal?* Malhi Sweets has been my go-to Indian restaurant for well over 10 years now (even before Ms. Deneuve paid her fateful visit). It's just wickedly, consistently good, and I've always loved the friendly, no-frills ambience and the grace and charm of the moustachioed owner. Funny thing is, I was a vegetarian when I started going to Malhi Sweets, and I still tend to order vegetarian every time I go. Standards include the pakoras, the dal makhni (with 35% cream), the baigan bharta, the channa, the vegetable korma, and the garlic nan. If only they would bring back the malai kofta, which was my very favorite Malhi Sweets dish of all-time, the one that literally drove me crazy (I literally couldn't rest until every last morsel, every last drop, had been devoured). Hot tip: if you ever see a plate of chili pakoras on the front counter, order some! They're awesome, and I've never seen them anywhere else in Montreal. * What I want to know is: who's the genius who insisted that Catherine Deneuve visit Malhi Sweets? I wish it had been me...

First and foremost: Ignore the exterior of this place. It looks like a dump from outside and immediately conjures images of a low-rent, dirty interior that is the opposite of the truth. Inside the place is remarkably pretty, well-lit and thoroughly enjoyable. The food is traditional northern Indian fare for the most part and done well. The sauces are slightly less complex than the best I've had (thus the lack of one star) but for the Montreal Indian scene, this is near the top of the class. Service isn't what you'd call friendly but it's competent and quick and there is clearly a serious commitment to quality at every step of the food creation process. We had: Incredibly fresh, fantastic samosas, shahai paneer (medium), butter chicken (death spicy by request), mango lassi and fantastic garlic naan. Will return.

We love this place, been sporadically coming for at least 7 years, and always wonder why I'm not here more often. Samosas: best I had in Mtl. Naan bread: yup! We shall be back for this alone. Butter chicken: top 5 in Montreal Madras Beef Curry: 8.9/10 tender beef. Just the right amount of coriander and cumin. Delight. Shrimps + rice: very good taste, however never liked the small shrimps. Abort. 3.5/10. Give us the tiger shrimps and this dish is a 9/10 Beers: Taj Mahal and Cobra. Dish presentation: 8.5/10 We shall be back, soon! The place is clean as well, or at least looks like it.

I would normaly put 4 stars, but i put the extra star to increase what it really is. In my opinion, we don't rate an Indian rate like you rate a French or Italian restaurant and the reason is that service is almost really really shitty. To make sure they won't have to learn the language (to some extension) they'll simply put numbers on their menu to facilitate the way the order is done. I've seen some indian-fusion (with French cuisine) restaurant being quite good at service but it's only because of the French effectiveness background). This place gives you a real Pundjab (sorry about the spelling) cuisine experience. Family business this place is always packed with locals and indians foreigner which kind of give you a tip: If indian people wants indian food from this restaurant, it must be good!). So last time i went there, I was with my Friend and meeting his friend, wife and kid. We really had a good time, the service was really quick even if it did felt cold, I didn't take it for granted that I was suppose to feel welcome in a friendly restaurant. It's a family business, which mean, they probably work 6-7 days a week with a crappy salary. So I didn't take it for granted. It's not a huge place but it's really alive. There's a selection of IPA (made from a local brewery) and it is really good. I don't know the names of the stuff I've had there, since my friend knew what was good, he ordered (with his other buddy) for everybody. The apetizer that looks like a chip with a spicy but sweet sauce is awesome, If it would have been a bar, i'd have that with some pint of IPA all night long! One other thing I think it's important to mention: Damn it's cheap! There's no place in Montreal where i'll have 2 pints of beer, 2 apetizer and 3-4 main plates and a small desert for 25-30$ Fun fact: when you get in, you see the wall is covered with some local celebrity and some international too that came there. If a restaurant can survive more than 30 years, you can bitch about it as much as you want, but it shows that this place works and people eat there.

Came here on a particularly icy, cold night to meet up with some fellow Yelpers to get our collective Indian on. Despite the somewhat tacky interior and warbling Bollywood on the tv, the place was fairly full and as soon as I opened the door, all I could think of was getting some saag paneer and beer into my gob. Each one of our 8 people ordered something differed: 2 types of paneer, a yummy cauliflower dish, tikka chicken, some goat and enough naan to feed a small country. The service was fast and friendly, the beer was cheap and the total bill was ridiculously cheap. I would definitely come back here and I only wish that it was closer to my house. Question though, does he show the Catherine Deneuve photo to everyone that dines here? ha ha

The tightly packed and gloomy setting of the rather pricey Golden Restaurant on rue St. Laurent was my favorite Indian restaurant until I was told about Sweet Malhi. My taste buds were immediately overwhelmed with flavor and aroma of their delicious entrees and main dishes, their Naan bread was most excellent! Don't let the attitude of the waiter bother you, he probably works for a low salary. Bright atmosphere and the Taj Mahal beer on tap...yummmm! This is the real deal for amazing and inexpensive Indian food in Montreal.

Excellent quality Punjabi-style Indian food near Montreal. It's an easy drive from the main city center and worth it! The Vegetable Korma and Channa Masala were perfectly spicy and the naans were soft and delicious. Get the salty lassi (yogurt drink) to calm your mouth if it's on fire. Well worth the time, money, and calories!

Some people said the staff weren't friendly. I found them very nice and fast. All appetizers were very good. The goat curry is a must! I love butter chicken but this one was just ok. Many reviews mention that the chicken is dry and it's very true. They need to switch from breast to dark meat. Basmati rice & nan bread were excellent. While eating cuisine, try the Indian beer it's quite good. I will return but skip the butter chicken. As for my favorite Indian restaurant, I'm still searching...

Simply put, this place is excellent. The food is super tasty, service great, and the restaurant is consistent. Every time I go, I expect my meal to be as good as the last time, and they never disappoint. Highly recommended for Indian food lovers.

This place has really gone down hill. Malhi used to be my go-to Indian restaurant in Montreal. Over the last year or so I found the quality has slipped and the portions are not as big. Tonight I had a terrible experience at Malhi Sweets and will never go back. I ordered my usual veggie thali and it was completely lacklustre. The cauliflower was swimming in oil, very over cooked and flavourless. It was so disappointing. It was difficult to get the servers attention since he seemed to be the only one waiting tables in a busy restaurant. I called who I believe was the owner himself over and told him politely that the cauliflower was not good. His reaction was completely rude and unacceptable. He took my plate from me, took my fork, and proceeded to eat the cauliflower off my plate while standing over me. He became very agitated. He kept saying that he made it himself that morning and there was nothing wrong with it. I couldn't believe how rude and unprofessional he was being. He said he wouldn't charge us for it. And complained that I had eaten some of the other food on the plate. I told him yes, I was hungry! We couldn't get the servers attention for some time. His attitude was unbelievable. He offered begrudgingly to replace it and I asked for my favourite dish. He said "no! I can't make that!" By this point he was raising his voice and standing over my table. So rude. He offered to give me chickpeas instead... like the ones on my plate he just ate off of. No thank you. I will never go back again. Such a shame after being a regular customer for years. There is a much better place up the street.

My family and I eat here one or two times a month,my two boys who are 13 and 11 love there food, we always start off with there Samosas cut up and some cream is added,delicious,and we always have there lentil soup,butter chicken,mixed vegetables and white rice and the nan bread,delicious! There Cheeta beer is pretty good. There food never disappoints us,always so tasty. Someone who loves Italian,this is my second best restaurant I just adore.

This is pretty much the only establishment I will visit for Indian food in Montreal. Conveniently located 5 seconds away from my house, I have been eating at Malhi for about 6 years and everything has been consistently near-perfect. Personally, it is impossible to find authentic Indian cuisine in Montreal. Most places on the southern side of Parc-Ex have a different style of Indian food, in which their dishes tend to have a sweet taste. This, for me, is not my idea of good or authentic Indian. Unless you have an Indian friend whose mother cooks (and I do), Malhi is as close as it gets! Be sure to start off with their vegetable pakoras (sold in either 1/2 pound or 1 pound formats) and their potato-filled samosas (2/1$, I believe). These are always made fresh to order and are out of this world. Never too oily, despite the fact that they are deep friend, they are served with a somewhat sweet and sour, tomato-like sauce and a yogurt coriander sauce, which do nothing less than intensify the various flavors that you'll experience upon your first bite. Good mains include: chicken tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, chicken jalfrezi, traditional thali (vegetarian and non-vegetarian), as well as several equally-delicious vegetarian options (shahi paneer, which is homemade cheese soaked in a flavorful creamy sauce -- be sure to order this spicy; another notable option is their channa samosa. This consists of a crushed samosa, covered with their chick peas + masala and some yogurt on top -- unique flavors and aromas coming to life). One thing I would avoid at Malhi, and which makes me really sad, is their chicken biryani. I have had great biryani in the past but, unfortunately for Malhi, their biryani is way too saucy. As a result, you are unable to taste the great springiness of their rice. Order a plain rice (mixed with some cumin seeds, a bit of lemon, and coriander leaves) and naan to complete your dish. A great Indian beer will help you perfectly mesh in the flavors and reduce the spiciness in your meal, should you ask for it this way (which I definitely recommend!) My weekly visits will not be stopping anytime soon. Visit this place if you know what's good for you! Side note: VISA, DEBIT, CASH (no MasterCard).

I have ordered from them many times. The only thing that impressed me were their parathas. They were big and really soft. I loved the aloo paratha. I wouldn't go to eat there because it is very small. It's a place I would NOT take my friends!

I have been going to Mahli since 2006 and for the life of me, I do not know why it took me so long to write up a review on this delicious restaurant. Mahli Sweets is not your "wanna be Indian Restaurant" it is THE benchmark of Indian cuisine. And by this I have taken the liberty to say, without having seen other kitchen's, that this one is the most varied, complex and cleanest, that I know of, within this price range. My typical order consists of 1/2 lb of Pakoras (you can also get 1 lb if you want to), with Lamb Curry and white rice. If I want to spice things up a bit, literally, I ask for the Byrianni rice. So much flavor in such a "simple looking" dish. But do not be fooled, there is nothing simple about Indian cuisine. If anything, it is probably the most labor intensive cuisine out there and the people who make tasty dishes should earn much more for their skills. The decor, which was very rustic and "typical" to many Indian restaurants has had 2 facelifts in the past year or so. The owner has managed to keep the prices low and food quality very good, yet he also did some significant upgrades with the last 6 months to give it a more "sophisticated" look. One cannot also ignore the Bollywood films playing on the big screen TV's that are located at the front and back of the restaurant. The good thing about that is that it's not in your face nor is it loud. If you want to "Watch" you can, but it is not invasive by any means and you can carry on with a normal pitch conversation. I have taken many of my friends to this restaurant and all of them left with their stomachs full of good food and have been repeat customers. A word of advice, if you want to have a good spot for more than 4 people, arrive early or even better, place an order. These guys are quick to get your food out and the best part is that the food is fresh.

it is the best in montreal (to my taste).. been going there for at least 15 years , and Mahli was always up to par...i really like the butter chicken , as it does not taste only like tomatoes.. the eggplant are my spouse favorites, channa samosa plate is so tasty...

where i'm from, there's a big population of indians and great indian restaurants. the indian food at malhi is ok compared to the fantastic indian food from sf bay area. maybe for montreal, it's "the best" because there isn't a lot of competition around. so onwards with the food review: - naan (was one of the best naan i've had. definitely giving credit here) - chili chicken (mediocre- tasted like pre-made fried chicken doused with indian spices) - butter chicken (love the sauce, but the chicken breast was really dry) overall, a mediocre 3 star indian cuisine, but i'd give them a 3.5 just for their really good naan. we didn't have to wait long for the food to come out - a plus.

Last night I was waiting in the car for my husband to grab our take-out order from Malhi Sweets when I suddenly realized that I had yet to leave a review for our favorite Indian restaurant. Yesterday we attended a holiday party and then a baby shower immediately following. As we left the second party at around 5:30 PM yesterday evening and not having the energy to make dinner, I turned to my husband and gently suggested, "let's grab Indian on our way home for dinner, honey, what do you say?" He nodded, smiled and without skipping a beat he said, "oh yeah... I could really go for some good Indian. What a great idea!" A few years ago after deciding to go out to eat Indian food we would have then discussed which of the many Indian restaurants on Jean-Talon or rue Jarry should we try; but now when we say "Indian" we are both referring to Malhi Sweets. Once we discovered Mahli Sweets we came to the conclusion that it was not worth wasting our time and money trying other restaurants when we know that Malhi is wonderful. Now the only discussion is whether we should eat at the restaurant or get our food to go. The naan is so delicious it simply melts in your mouth. The saag paneer is fabulous and we almost always order the butter chicken because it is full of flavor but not too spicy (our 4 year-old is not a fan of overly spicy food). Best of all, it is not expensive. We leave with enough food for 4 adults for about $45, including tax and tip. Incidentally, we are hosting a party next month and we have asked Mahli Sweets to make 50 samosas for our party. They are going to be a hit with our friends! Mahli Sweets' samosas are some of the best we have ever had anywhere!

One of the best Indian restaurants I've been to. Their butter chicken is so flavourful. Samosas are amazing: crunchy and spicy. Each of their dishes has that perfect combination of spices, not too overwhelming unlike most other Indian restaurants. Their meat dishes are juicy and tender. The atmosphere is comfortable and the service is very friendly. MUST TRY for authentic, flavourful Indian food!

Having been exposed to Indian cuisine my entire life and on numerous continents I am always on a quest to find that authentic Indian restaurant experience here in Montreal. Recently my search led me to Malhi Sweets. I found the decor to be bright and refreshing as opposed to dim and dingy like a few resto's in the area but that being said, environment was never really at the top of my expectation list. I know that sometimes the best of ethnic foods can be found in establishments that won't win any awards for choice of wallpaper or quality of the chairs. While Indian cuisine is so much more than just "butter chicken"- it is usually the reference point of comparison for the restaurants I try, as I take it to be one of the more popular dishes and a staple to many patrons. This one was disappointing. The sauce was not nearly as rich and flavoursome as one or two others I have tried and worst of all the chicken was extremely dry. I was quite surprised that the Thali did not come with rice so we had to order rice after our Thali's had been placed in front of us, but to their credit it did arrive soon after. Unfortunately the rice was not the light and fluffy aromatic basmati that you usually expect from Indians but was more dense and still slightly "wet"- perhaps a couple of more minutes in the cooker would have done the trick. The service was a bit disjointed and haphazard but good food always compensates for that. When it comes to service, I don't come down hard on "mom and pop" establishments that are reasonably priced. Yes it would be nice to make sure we have knives and forks before the food arrives but as long as I can get your attention within a couple of minutes, we're good. The quest continues and it seems most Montrealers aren't too discerning when it comes to Indian food but for those with a more discriminating and experienced Indian palate Malhi sweets certainly doesn't rank at the top of the list. Lastly, if you're going to charge me GST and PST when I am paying cash, don't try to get away with not putting it through the register. It is one thing to avoid paying income tax to the thieves in Government but it's another to take an extra 15% from the patron with no intention of passing it on to The Man. Demand your receipts. Don't take my word for it- give it a try and tell us what you think!

My favourite restaurant! I've been a regular for the past 7 years and never had anything to complain about. Food is great, prices are good!

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant on Saturday night after having read some excellent reviews. Honestly, I was so disappointed and confused by all the misleading ranting and raving that all I have the urge to say is "What's wrong with you people? Have none of you ever had good Indian food in your lives?" Perhaps my expectations -- shaped by a mind-blowing Indian meal at a childhood friend's house and excellent Indian dining experiences in Kuwait -- are too high. I've been on a quest to match those amazing culinary experiences for years now. Malhi Sweets certainly didn't come ANYWHERE close. Here's what we ordered and my impressions: Channa samosa: Very mediocre. Not as tangy and satisfying as I've had at other restaurants (e.g. at Bombay Mahal on Jean Talon. I've also heard that the channa samosa at India's Oven, also on Jean Talon, is excellent.) Papadam with a dipping sauce: Meh. It was nothing special, though my boyfriend enjoyed the dipping sauce. Butter chicken thali, which was served with daal makhni (black lentils in sauce), channa (chickpeas in sauce), salad and a whole wheat roti (I asked for this instead of naan): I was SO disappointed with the butter chicken; the chicken was dry and flavourless, and the sauce lacked the typical rich, creamy, buttery consistency of a good butter chicken. The daal and channa both tasted the same to me and were both BLAND. The salad and roti were also bland. Lamb thali: My boyfriend ordered this, and I had a little taste of the curry sauce but not the lamb itself. I was not impressed. Basmati rice: My boyfriend was the first to serve himself some rice and his immediate reaction was, "Would you taste the rice and tell me what you think?" A strange first reaction when you're talking about something as straightforward as rice in an Indian restaurant. This is what I thought: it was unusually dense and not particularly flavourful. Left me confused and yearning for some aromatic, fluffy basmati rice instead. That's all I'll say about the food. The service wasn't particularly attentive. And what's with showing patrons their bill total on a calculator? I'd like an itemized bill please. Glancing at the newspaper clippings in the window as we left, I couldn't help but wonder why on earth Catherine Deneuve would choose to celebrate her birthday here of all places. I won't be coming back.

This is one of my favorite indian restaurants. The cuisine is authentic and the service really fast. Also, this is pretty cheap! :) (for example: 2 samosas = 1, 50$ = Yeah!!!;) ) The restaurant isn't fancy or anything, so feel free to dress casual! Bon Appétit!!

Just went Once. for take out. two dishes i ordered. Sorry to say but i have never tried that much disgusting food in my life. Food was definitely not fresh. there are other great places to eat indian food in Montreal.

It ain't all that, y'all. First time I found the good rather greasy and westernized. Second time biryani was undercooked and not impressively spiced. The mango lassi and raita were very good tho! No sweets! Misnomer there...

This is my favorite indian restaurent in town, the ambiance is not very nice, but the food is very tasty and cheap!

Malhi Sweets is a few blocks from the north west corner of Jarry Park, seats approx 20 on super clean simple wooden tables and chairs by wide windows. It's not fancy: some Indian art and TV's broadcasting hot Bollywood music videos at a pretty mellow decibel, lots of framed clippings of great reviews and celebrity guests. There's an attentive staff and diverse clientele and everyone is smiling. Today we started with the Aloo Tikki and Malhi Special rolls, both crispy but light and we loaded them with lots of yummy, spicy sauces. I had Aloo ghobi (crazy delicious cauliflower and potatoes) Shahi Paneer (amazing soft homemade cheese in a creamy, tomatoey, Indian spicy sauce) the man had the Goat Curry and declared it his new favourite food. We shared nan - thin, soft, hot, lightly buttery - perfect. We drank frothy sweet lassi's and an Indian beer called Taj Mahal on tap - light refreshing lager that goes great with curry, and they have some other local and Indian mircobrews I'd go back to try. When we could eat no longer we loaded up the to-go tray's, paid our 46$ bill (nice!) and walked off into the sunset.

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in town. It's not a fancy place but the food is outstanding.

The best part of Malhi is it is cheap - a dinner for 2 will cost you CAD30 which is real cheap. But you get what you pay for. The food is not great- I cook better at home. The attitude of the main guy who could be the owner is obnoxious. He yelled at us for keeping on ordering food. They can't handle big groups - we were 12 and our order for 2 came almost after everyone had finished dinner. They outright ask for cash so they will not charge you taxes which is wrong. I will let a Govt official investigate that. They were literally begging for cash (especially USD). Never order the Gulab Jamun- just go to an Indian grocery store - they taste better. I will not be back to the place and will never recommend it. I tasted Chicken Jalfrezi and Lamb Masala - the gravy is the same. If you want quality Indian Food in Montreal please eat at Le Taj - it's way more expensive but you get your money's worth. The only reason Malhi is in business that long is because it is cheap.

Some of the best Indian food in Montreal. I used to eat there all the time when I worked in Parc Extension. The channa samosas are incredible, simply amazing. The sweet tamarind and cool yogurt pair so well with the good level of heat. I still dream of these even years after moving away from Montreal. Alas I don't think these samosas would ship well Fedex overnight. Well done, honest food in a family-run restaurant.

Great spot in park extension. Spot is good and spicy just the way I like. The waiter is very professional and efficient. It is clean, bathroom everything I ve seen. Priced not too high. There are cheaper thalis out there just as good. Recommended.

We had a vegetarian thali and a chicken vindaloo for supper. The overall impression was that the meal was way too salty for our taste buds. There was a total of five 1-inch cubes of chicken and 2 pieces of potates in the vindaloo. The dal and the naan in the thali plate were fantastic, but the chaana and the aloo gobi were excessively salty. Thank goodness I had a sweet lassi to save me (my favorite part of the meal). Even my SO's mango lassi tasted like it was made from a mango syrup. For the price we paid, we've had better Indian meals elsewhere in the city.

they are super consistent every time. My wife and I go there min. 5 times per month and we are always very satisfied with the quality of the food. Mrinal is an amazing waiter and the owner is always around to ensure the highest level of service and satisfaction. He often goes from table to table checking in on his guests. Luv this place!!!
