Sahib Indian Restaurant - POINTE-CLAIRE: Dine-in, Take-Out & Delivery

I ate twice in this restaurant and every time the food is delicious and the service is great..We go there for their buffet..it is very well organized and on point, all types of popular indian dishes are availables

Decided to stop while going back to toronto from Montreal. It was almost 4 PM and we had nothing from Morning so we were literally hungry. Had samosa chat that tasted okay. Sahi paneer was worst thin gravy with chewy panner cubes with no taste. It was totally bland. Naan was still fine. My friends had chicken karahi with literally 4 pieces of chicken and same thin gravy. They literally seems so upset from the first bite. We were literally so hungry that we still Decided to eat it. However my friend Decided to bring up the issue to a staff member. And all we hear was "90 percent of our customers like bland food". "You should have told us earlier, let me gave you complimentary dessert" I am not dying for your dessert. Top of it they messed up our order at time of paying. Gave my friend a $10 discount. Appreciated but still the Worst food i ever had in name of Indian Cuisine.

I haven't ordered from here in awhile,it's been my go to since living in the area for the past 5 yrs. So I was very surprised today and so disappointed with my order. 2 Butter chicken, 2 rice,2 roti,onion baji and 2 papadom. The price hike is excessive now costing around 100.00. The butter chicken was like eating chicken in tomato soup. Smell and taste and watery. The onion baji was flavorless and just not right. I don't know if the place is under new management or the chefs was having a day or what but I am sadly disappointed and probably won't be a returning customer.sigh

We went there for a quick late lunch. Ordered lamb biriyani, chicken vindaloo, naan and gulab jamun. The biriyani was very good in both taste and presentation wise. I would have liked the chicken vindaloo to be more spicy as traditionally this is a spicy dish. It tasted more tangy rather than spicy. The nan was ok but small compared to naans at any other restaurant. The papadums were cold and didn't meet the expectations at all. The highlight was the gulab jamuns. They were hot, soft and fluffy. They were the best gulab jamuns I had recently. The service was excellent. Definitely recommended if you are craving for some delicious desi food.

The food is delicious and Aman is very cool guy. I recommend this place. Come with your family the buffet is amazing...

Amazing food and their service was super nice, felt very welcomed by the staff there. The guy name Hashim served us and he was always around us, if we needed anything else.. Will definitely go there again soon. Whatever we ordered was so delicious.

It is a cozy and warm restaurant. The staff was welcoming, but we saw only one person for give service to all customers so she was slightly busy to take care of inside and outside orders. The quality of their food is really good, tasty, spicy and greatly flavoured but i believe a little bit expensive. I suggest them to give more promotions or special plates for weekend days. I recommend to try here at least one time. Don't forget to order butter chicken, there.

Have been here a few times recently. Food is excellent. Menu is varied. Very good service. And very reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Buffet was quite good. Butter chicken was bland aimed at the novice. The beef curry was delish. There are appetizers, salads, naan, and three veggie options. Super friendly staff. Not cheap though. Enjoy

Consistently excellent food and service. I have been going to this restaurant before, during and after the pandemic and its quality has never wavered. Delicious buffet and à-la-carte dishes.

Sahib was exceptional food quality when I went with two friends that live in the area. I'm reviewing the Dorval location which I didn't see listed on Yelp at the time of this writing. The restaurant is so lovely with a nice bar area. Service is a bit slow. Food portions were right where they should be, if not more and the prices were just right, especially for the combo platters. There was quite a bit of kitchen noise here for some reason. The owner makes sure that you are happy and corrects problems when he seems them. There is no buffet option at this location. My friend said that her butter chicken was impressive. The julab jamun (I hope I spelled that right) was incredible. One thing that I found that should change is that the food is served at a rather spicy level, it would be a good idea to ask the customer how spicy they prefer it. Naan bread was super fluff and the papaum was crispy and a pure joy. I would go back each time I go to Montreal. It's that good.

I love Sahib! The service is always super friendly. The food is always excellent, and abundant! This time we tried something new for us, sashi paneer, and it blew us away! They also have some good Indian beers. This is a must every time I visit the West Island.

Butter chicken is excellent! Haven't tried others as I get the same. Good for takeout. New location opened in Dorval on lakeshore.

the food was great. i was stranded at the montreal airport and outdated takeout. (actually delivery). it came much quicker than expected, and everything was delicious. on complaint is that they neglected to include utensils. i improvised.

Really good food! My wife and I ordered the vegetarian meal for 2. Great service but our waiter was a bit slow. It's trivial of me to point that out but it's the truth. The restaurant is pretty big on the inside and I wouldn't have guessed that when pulling up to the building from the parking lot. We loved the food and most definitely recommend giving them a try if your looking for high quality fresh Indian cuisine.

All what can you expect from your local Indian cuisine restaurant with a lot of room for improvement. Don't get me wrong it was reasonably priced and the food was good but it could have been more delicious or well maintained if you went with buffet option. All said, it's a good chance to try something different and spicy:)

Tried takeout for the 1st time. Excellent service. Ready in 20 minutes as promised. Food was delicious as always. Good-sized portions with portions for the main course large enough to satisfy even a healthy appetite. Prices remain reasonable. The Vegetable Pakoras were crispy and very tasty, the Butter Chicken was creamy with loads of chicken and enough sauce, the Naan bread was fluffy and buttery, and the Gulab Jamoon was a sweet finish for dessert. Also recommend the Mango Lassi.

Food was great and waiters were great. The owner is another story. Was there for a Christmas gathering and our boss was paying for it. As I'm leaving the restaurant with a female coworker the owner comes out and says "Excuse me sir, did you enjoy your food?" I say yes. Then he says "Are you going to pay for it?" Caught me off guard and I say no. Wanted to say something else but my colleague says "Our boss is paying for it." I understand that it is a busy time and that mistakes happen. If he addressed both of us instead of just me, asked a direct question, and was polite about it without this sour, angry look would understand. But this was clearly discriminatory. This is not the first time I heard this owner being rude.

Bland. Very very bland. And greasy. Went for the lunch buffet, and arrived just as they were opening, so the food was "just put out". But some of the sauces already had that top layer of "fat?", so must have been sitting there long. My mom called ahead to ask if everything was fresh, and they said yes, absolutely. Something is suspicious here. They had a nice variation of food, and I tried almost everything. It was pretty much all tasteless, except for the separate 6 sauce area that's supose to be an add on to anything. Those were the only things with flavor, but what's the point in relying on only that for taste? The dishes themselves are supose to be the main event. This was like cafeteria quality. The naan bread was good, as well as the thin crispy bread. At least they have that going for them. All the meat dishes were very dry and had a tough texture, even the "lamb". But the butter chicken was very tender, just the sauce was super bland, unfortunately. They had a big thing of white bazmatti rice, with pieces of carmelized onion, as a base for the entres, but the rice was very greasy, and tasteless as well, and the saucy entree dishes didn't give it any taste either. The rice pudding had a very odd texture to it. The fruit cocktail was obviously canned, and not good. The fried sweet balls of dough were oversaturated with some sort of greasy like syrop pool, and gave an awkward texture. I've had plenty of different home cooked indian dishes before, which is why I love indian food. As a restaurant, they should be better than home cooking, or else what's the point in coming? This is a good place for old people to eat, since flavor can overwhelm the pallet, so bland helps. Also good for drunk people, since grease helps alchohol move along. They had a cool looking bar. After eating, we sat for a good 30 min, waiting for a waiter to make eye contact with us, which oddly they kept avoiding, might be because the place was getting more people. They were really polite and nice otherwise. When I finally caught one's attention, they explained that we had to go to the front desk at the bar to pay. ok... and when i personally handed the waiter a 5$ bill as tip, he didn't keep it, he put it in the cash register. Maybe it was because the owner was behind me and they're not allowed to keep tips? Very strange. When my mom called earlier, to also ask about the pricing and if anything extra needed to be paid (I dunno why), they said no tip is required since it's a buffet, but if we wanted to tip that's ok. I guess I won't be tipping next time since it seem like the waiters don't get to keep the tips anyway... The food sucked, the restaurant doesn't deserve my tip money, that was supose to go to the waiter for tending my table. Not sure if I'll come back. I asked a friend who ordered from their take out menu, and they said eventhough it was different dishes from their buffet selection, the quality was the same. So I guess this is not authentic indian cuisine, like they point out on their adv. It's more like white-man dimmed down versions of their national dishes. So sad. What a waste of calories :(

Above average Indian restaurant for West Island. Lunch buffet has great selections. The service is not bad, just not consistent. Sometimes they are attentive, sometimes you feel ignored or they give you the annoyed look when you ask for service. Also, watch out for the butter chicken. It's not tandoori chicken, but simply dry white chicken meat. The sauce taste good but it is quite tomatoey and not so buttery. Good selection of dessert on the a la carte menu.

I have only good things to say about Sahib's all you can eat lunchtime or Sunday night buffet. The choices of meats are all saucy (except for the Tandoori chicken, of course not saucy), hot and delicious, their nan bread is (dangerously) good, their fried foods are also (dangerously) good. The restaurant itself is a classy looking English pub style which is quite unusual (for me at least). I like to sit at the bar and listen to the staff argue and stress out then become very friendly when customers come to pay. Always a flow of people coming for take out. I don't remember if they play Indian music (if not, they should!) . There is even TV screens where you can watch a cricket game or a polo match! I've never tried their "À la carte" menu but it's probably even better than their buffet (it always is). Great place to bring the gang, bang for the buck is good. I expected the place to be much smaller from the way it looks outside. The only negative thing is the washrooms are in the basement at the end of a Harvey Weinsteinish creepy and cold corridor. Otherwise good place.

Excellent service, beautiful atmosphere, real family feel. Food was amazing. Staff were so attentive and engaged. Highly recommend.

ATMOSPHERE: Its a very calm spot. The decor has a more pub style with subtle hints of Indian decor. There's a soothing music in the background that isn't overwhelming at all. Just beware of the bathroom, it's a little bit creepy. FOOD: Always delicious. Every time I come here, everything is always packed with flavor and never disappoints. Their basmati rice has bits of onions in it that give it that subtle kick of flavor and their naan is soft and delicious. All of their vegetarian plates are amazing and saucy (perfect for the rice) and their meats are tender. And of course, their butter chicken is to die for! I highly recommend this place, honestly my favorite place! PRICE: I usually go for the all-you-can-eat at lunch time so it's very affordable. Especially for a buffet! It's my go-to spot for Indian food. SERVICE: Service is okay.

Really great food and you get a lot for the lunch buffet! Their naan bread is to die for. But it can be really pricey if you go for dinner which is why I'm only giving 4 stars:/

The food at Sahib is wonderful. An extensive menu of items to choose from and they prepare many favorites. I prefer vindaloo and the chicken and lamb vindaloo are always tasty and very spicy. Prices are very reasonable and the portion size makes 2 meals for me. The delivery drivers are always friendly and confirm my order with me as I pay. Highly recommend!

I personally have only ever come here for lunch for the buffet and I've always really enjoyed it there. The food tastes great, the staff is nice, the price is great and the restaurant has a great ambiance. However, I do think that as a buffet, it lacks in options since its only a little corner of the restaurant from where you can get food. But apart from that, all the options that you can choose from all taste great and has great flavor. Sometimes the meat can be a little dry but hey, its a buffet and the food's always out. I definitely recommend coming here for lunch if you love Indian food and have a big appetite!

Good, but Different tastes for Indian cuisine... But a little $ for 2 mains, rice, naan & a small beer @ $55

The food is A-OK. Nothing to rave about. The naan bread is good, and so are the starters. But the curries are just okay. The Biryani isn't great either. And the food lacks consistency. The dishes taste different every time you order. The food is pricey and not a good value at all. The decor is very good and the location as well. Being on the corner of St Jean and Hymus it attracts the office crowd with their lunch buffet. The service is dull. They have Indian beer on tap, which are good if you like strong beer. (which is good) But most of the clientele is non-Indian and probably that's why the taste is not very authentic.

Buffet is good if you have a huge appetite. Food is not bad. Some customer at the buffet licked his fingers before taking more food.

It's been a long time searching for an indian cuisine resto in the west Island that could make our favorite NDG establishment. We placed an order a few days ago and already i was craving it again. The butter chicken is a little on the tomato side, but that's the thing about this dish, it varies, just like mom and grandma's spaghetti sauce. The onion bahji is more of a round ball than a flat patty, but this doesn't make them any less delicious. You will find that the sweet sauce has a more heat than most places, but it's very tolerable is you are going for an "i am all that is man/woman," kind of night. I highly recommend ordering additional Naan, it's just to darn delicious to share. We'll be order again soon, if I have any say in the matter.

Went to Sahib today after managing to avoid it for four years and I was not disappointed, they confirmed my suspicions, it was mediocre at best. It is a basic Indian joint, a bit too dark, probably to hide the food that you are eating. I ordered the Tandoori meat platter just to sample a bit of everything and my wife the thali. Flavoring was okay but nothing to write home about. The vegetables they served were the frozen kind...yuck, but that is standard Indian restaurant fare so I can't complain. (My fault for giving in and trying this place). Food service was sporadic, waiter apologized several times for slow service from the kitchen., even said "its not my fault". My plate was served in several parts as they forgot a portion of it. My wife's thali arrived 5-8 minutes after my plate. The nan bread arrived ten minutes after the meal. The last piece of chicken was brought to me after the nan. I guess Rajiv was not in the building. Overall not for me ever again, but certainly to please the pallet of the West Islanders judging by the reviews. Enjoy folks.

I arrived with at 6:59 ready to order food for take-out and have a drink while I waited. I asked if I just made the happy hour drink special. By the time he checked his computer, it was 7:00 so the owner refused. Pissed off I ordered a round for my gf and I. The beer was piss flat. When the food finally arrived I rushed out of there. It's only when I got home that I realized they didn't take 10% off the bill since it was a pick up. It's weird, I've never heard of a cheap Indian... The meal was mediocre at best. The naan tasted like it was reheated from the night before and the lamb curry was probably stewing since that morning since it was practically mush. It was my gf's first time trying Indian and I'm upset we wasted her first impression on Sahib. She promised me another chance so I'm taking her to Tandoori Bellevue, where I know the staff are more professional and the food is better.

I always look forward to indulging at Sahib from time to time. If I could give 3.5 stars I would. I can go on and on about how great the food is! I have two slight knocks about the restaurant. First is the consistency of the food. What I mean by that is, I will order the same dish a few weeks apart and they will taste completely different. The second is the attention to detail or lack thereof the staff tends to take from time to time, especially when confirming the contents of a pick up order.

Some of the best Indian food you'll find in the West Island. Reasonable prices and good service

Came here on a Friday, had made reservations for lunch for 11:30 when they opened. I recommend that you make reservations too - even if you are 2 people. It is a buffet during lunch (not sure how it is in the evenings or weekend). This is an ok Indian restaurant for Montreal, but a good Indian resto for the West Island. There are only a few food options served during the buffet, but don't worry, they are the common ones i.e. nan, butter chicken, samosas, beef curry... At Indian buffets, I typically go for the butter chicken, but, I didn't like the taste of it here ... it really tasted like it was just tomato sauce. My lunch companion said it didn't taste tomato sauce-like at all and that it was actually his fave butter chicken. I think maybe it's because I've only known the sauce to be creamy-like. The samosas was kinda bland. I tried it with the tamarind sauce, but the sauce seemed, and tasted water down....again, maybe it's because I am used to something thicker. The service was good; my water was always re-filled, and the plates were always cleared. I'd come back if my companion needed a Sahib fix. By the way, when we were leaving at 12, the line up to the buffet was long.... this may be because the buffet area is small.

The ambience is very nice. Though it is a bit small and often crowded, the dining room is very clean and has a cozy feeling to it. The lunch buffet doesn't have that many options, but everything there tasted amazing and seemed to be of good quality. The price is also very cheap, only 18$ per person taxes and tips included. The only downside is that service isn't outstanding (the staff don't smile a lot nor do they make small talk with you) but it isn't bad either. I will definitely be back! Weird thing to note, but their bathrooms are very clean. Sometimes you go to a restaurant that serves good food but has dirty bathrooms, which is a huge turn off, but that isn't the case at Sahib!

Great service, they delivered to my hotel when no one else would. The delivery man was very friendly and pleasant as was the lady from whom I ordered on the phone. That's where the praise stops. I ordered chicken tikka masala and it was honestly the worst I've ever had. I'm no expert but I've probably eaten the dish at least twenty times at different restaurants and this was disgusting. The chicken was a very strange shape and texture. The sauce had gigantic chunks of bell peppers and onions and the sauce was soupy and flavourless. Not the creamy and smooth dish I'm used to. The garlic naan was yummy, which is lucky cuz I threw the rest out. Very displeased.

Clean and nice place! Service during evening is awesome! Food is good and good quantity as well. We also went for lunch buffet, the line is long and the restaurant is always busy. However, their lunch buffet choice is ok, at least we could eat to our full. Price is, however, very high. Not sure if it has to do anything with the location, but be ready to dole out at least 30 bucks/head for dinner; 20/head for lunch.

Sahib is my go to Indian in the West Island. The food is always good and I feel it's very consistent in terms of spices. Not too hot, not too mild, just enough. Love the chaana masala and the lamb vindaloo, delicious. It's been open for a while and if you go eat there at night you'll see it's a popular spot. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic service. Fantastic ambience. Fantastic food. An absolute pleasure dining in! It was busy for a Monday too. At first you walk in and are unsure what to expect. The small little restaurant bar opens up to a comfortable sized area to dine. The smells captivate your nose and set your taste buds up for an equally wonderful experience. Thank you for making the night! 5/5 for me!

This is the place for an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet! Mid-week lunch - mostly full - but not over the top. good dining atmosphere. good selection on everything. I ate too much :) but still had to get desserts! Would come again!

Some of the worst indian food I've ever had. Samosas taste frozen, chicken was overcooked in two of our dishes. We've given this place 2 tries now in case of an off night and it was just awful both times when we did take out. I can't recommend this place at all, we threw out most of the food last time. Because we were ordering with our daughter and trying to get her to try different foods, we ordered the easy dishes that are typically hits anywhere. We tried the chana masala (chick peas were undercooked), butter chicken (overcooked chicken that was dry paste in the mouth), chicken korma (this was almost passable), rice & peas (the caramalized onions tasted like they had freezer burn), naan which was ok. There are better places in the west island, in fact you'd do better with bottled sauces at home than eating this.

One of the worst restaurants to dine in Montreal. You will totally regret your decision in case you are looking forward to a decent meal. They serve you stale and cold food. The preparation lacks flavour. The worst is when you try and leave a feedback you are told that "how can you complain once you'v had the food". I give them one star only because yelp does not allow me to post a review until a rating is selected.

Food and services very good and The ambiance was good and positive. For sure I will recommend it for all my friends

I wish I could repeat what I had, but a co-worker ordered for me since I know very little about Indian food. I had chicken that was not spicy, but the sauce/marinade was excellent. Rice was cooked great, and I can't complain. Would have been 5-stars had the staff been friendlier.

so call for a take out tonight...pick it up in 30 minutes they say.... ...45 minutes still waiting... ....order comes out but its wrong, as they doubled on one dish....customer behind me they forgot 2 rices (PS. check your food before leaving) ....they correct my bill and I gladly pay by credit card so get get home.... ....as they bring my order, so i can leave, the front head chief lady, very rudely states that they made an error (ie. on their correction of their error) on my bill and I owe them $1.41 and WANTS my credit card back..... ....you kidding me, I say.....no she says, in all seriousness & rudeness..... .....okay I say....but last time you see me again..... .....all this time waiting, took time noticing how not clean & un-organized this establishment is, imo....

We place orders for delivery from this restaurant all the time. Food is always amazing. Love the combos

The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. Guri,our waiter, was very pleasant and patient with us novice eaters. The food is spicy by default so if you don't like spicy make sure to let them know and they will accommodate. A great experience and I will definitely be back to try more items on their extensive menu - or maybe try Thai lunch buffet. Yum!

At the recommendation from our hotel driver, a coworker and I went to this restaurant today during their lunch buffet. We were told that the restaurant got "The best Indian restaurant in Montreal award a couple of months ago". It was fabulous and reasonably priced!

Awesome Lunch Buffet!! All you can Indian food for 14$ they have nice selection of dishes. Naan bread, rice, butter chicken, meat, vegetables, samosas,. Just delicious. Nice and friendly and service is good. Great ambiance with music and decor. Must go for lunch during the week.

This is my go to place for take-out when i don't feel like cooking. The portions are huge!!! I always have leftovers. I usually get the butter chicker with nan bread. I think just the nan bread is already worth the trip. The sauce for the butter chicken is not very thick, which goes great on rice too.

I came here for the tandoori sizzlers and the portions were both generous and moreso delicious! I had the vegetables and the tikka and would recommend this restaofor anyone who likes Indian food with authentic flavour.

Sahib is located on the West Island, in a commercial building off of Hymus. The decor is a little old-school for my taste - lots of brown and well, brown. They have a full bar and the dining area is a decent size. They have a wide selection of dishes to choose from, and also offer a lunch buffet during the week. Not having a huge appetite, I kept my order simple: Tandoori Prawn and basmati. The prawn were large and cooked to perfection. They were juicy with a hint of crunch and lots of flavor - quite delicious! That said, I did find them to be salty but overall, I really enjoyed these shrimp. I don't have much to say about the rice - it was good. My friend ordered the Chicken Tikka, which was served in large chunks, and was very tender. To complete the meal, I ordered a cup of Chai - it was quite underwhelming. It was lacking in flavor and I couldn't really taste the spiciness of the Chai. Also, way too much milk. The reason I gave this place a 3 is because the service sucked. First of all, our waiter had ADD - he couldn't keep our orders straight (we were only 3 people) and after taking our main order (and writing it down), he came back twice to confirm what we'd ordered. The same thing happened when we ordered dessert. I found him to be a little brisk and indifferent, and while he didn't check in on us often, when he did, he came off as pushy. As well, I'm pretty sure he forgot about us because after we finished our meal, it took about 25 minutes for him to come over to see if we wanted anything else (i.e. dessert, tea etc.). When we were done, and finally got our bill, there were mistakes on all three. We asked that these be corrected and the rude waiter (different from above) begrudgingly acquiesced. When he came back, our bills were still wrong - but according to him it didn't matter because 'it's only a few dollars so no big deal.' Really? So this establishment thinks it's acceptable to over-charge their clients because it's 'only a few dollars' that THEY pocket? When I told the guy what I thought of his attitude, he blew me off and walked away in a huff. Someone new came to our table - I assume it was the manager or owner - and took us to the bar to pay. While he was very courteous and willing to correct our bills (with no attitude - which was appreciated), I doubt that I'll be going back to Sahib. When I pay for a meal, I expect some degree of courtesy, not to mention an accurate bill. I can go to other Indian restaurants where the service is client-friendly.

I've sat inside to eat a few times. Comfortable and clean with friendly service. Most of the time I order to pick up, which I did tonight. I live about 30 minutes away but make the trip because I've never been disappointed with my order and it's always still hot when I get home. Congratulations chef (s)! Extra delicious tonight! 4 people enjoyed this meal and leftovers for tomorrow

Food is good but service is terrible. Ordered plenty for 4 people and noticed after the driver had left we were missing items in our order. Called up and was told they were busy and would only offer credit for our next order. Guess what, they're won't be a next time.

Came here with a work group. Place was clean and food was pretty tasty. Ordered a spicy chicken dish but it wasn't all that spicy. Ambiance was good but service was a bit slow. Despite this the naan was great and food was good enough that I will return.

The food is really good, especially if you love Indian curry. Unfortunately, this restaurant's flaw is in the speed of the service. While our waiter was very nice and attentive, it took over 2 hrs to get our food from the kitchen. If that can be fixed, I would completely recommend this resturant...but now no. Sad because the food is good.
