It says star of India but the place is run by a bangladeshis and the only thing Indian about this place is India in the restaurant’s name. The food was terrible. I am from India and have had Indian food in Montréal but this place sucks to the core. We ordered stuffed parathas n garlic naan. they were horrendous. The only thing i liked here wass the raita. the samosas and tandoori chicken were awful too. the worst part was the bill. Had to tip them 10% despite the terrible food. i would recommend devi at crescent street. and also janani at plamandon.

Food was horrible. Totally not worth the price. Nothing was good apart from the pakoras.

The staff was good, but the food was horrible. Had butter chicken but it was sugary, the naan doesnt seem like its made in house, and the samosas were nothing exciting. Ive had indian food at all sorts of places in Montréal, Toronto, England, and even India. Go somewhere else if you are craving butter chicken.

Food poisoning on Valentine’s Day. This place cost me $ 20 for tasteless food and then an extra $ 180 night at a hotel. Yes, throwing up violently and spending an extra day in a city I’m visiting bedridden is exactly my idea of a super fun time. I would recommend you never go here, ever, unless you find Russian roulette enjoyable!

This place is pretty good, and their service is great. I’ve been here a few times, and I feel that the quality of the naan has dropped a bit, but the food is actually quite good, and very flavorful. The can really increase the spice level if you request it! The quality is not too bad either, however, their meat portions aren’t very hearty, however their service is amazing! The servers are very attentive. It can get a bit pricey, even for a modest outing though(about $ 20 – 35 per person), but good place to check out.

«Words cannot describe the amount of anguish and sorrow that this company has caused me in a short yet long period of time. FIRSTLY, upon ordering, we were told that they did not accept debit, a bold faced lie as as soon as we told them we did not have cash, they quickly said that they accept debit(DONOTFALLFORTHISTRAP!!!). SECONDLY, we were promised that the order would take about 30 minutes, another bold faced lie. The order took about an hour and a half to deliver. In this hour and a half we were called THREETIMES by a man who most certainly had just awoken from a 30 year coma and could not find a simple house. 0⁄10.» — Daniel … «Food was good. 4⁄5.» — Josh «Infinity/5. So good. I ate till my belly became distended, then ruptured, sending packets of curry everywhere, didn’t care, ate that slop off the floor, still very good.» — Drake «Nice. 4⁄5.» — Rachel

Mon restaurent préféré par excellence! Tout y est tout simplement savoureux. Le Naan est fait avec des graines de carvi, ce qui le rend encore plus goûteux et le riz avec des fleurs de safran. Pas besoin d’aller à Parc-Ex pour se faire un bon repas indien

I don’t eat Indian food that often so I don’t really know what is good ‘good’. I ordered the beef curry and buttered chicken and it was okay but not memorable. Rice or naan not included! :(The kebab appetizer wasn’t that great(dry and expensive) overall soso.

I found Star of India to be alright. Nothing overly wrong with this restaurant from what I experienced. When I came in, I got served immediately and the waiters were pretty quick to take my orders and check up on me which I like. The butter chicken on their menu tastes and same with the chapati bread. I found the prices here to be somewhat reasonable and the décor of this place was kinda East Indian like, which is expected. Overall, I found this restaurant to be good and could be worth a second visit but then again, I’m not the biggest fan of Indian fan, just occasionally. FINALGRADE: B

The service was really good but the food was quite tasteless. We ordered a few different curries and they were all very similar tasting which was a bit of a shame. The food isn’t awful but nothing spectacular and I wouldn’t go back.

This restaurant is good, i haven’t tried all the indian restaurants in Montréal but the food was good and the service excellent. I taste the curry fish and it was very good, all my friends like their meals. You should try it ! Ce restaurant est pas mal bon, je n’ai pas essayé tous les resto indiens à Montréal mais j’ai bien aimé mon poisson curry juste assez épicé. Tous mes amis ont bien aimés leurs repas. Vous devriez l’essayer !

This place looks like it has had numerous health-code violations and the food is extremely overpriced, meals do not include rice or naan and the dish I had was extremely bland and possibly older than it should’ve been. Not to mention the service was rather on the pompous side.

So after stopping here for dinner while vacationing in Montréal, I was really surprised it had such a low star rating on Unilocal.I think that some of the older reviews are out of date — b/c this place was really good! The staff was super nice, and the food was delicious! I had a vegetarian sampler plate, which was a ton of food for an awesome price. The chef’s fruit sauce that came with the samosas was so good! I wish he bottled that stuff for sale. The garlic naan was also great, and my boyfriend said the lamb curry was amazing. They gave us both a dessert at the end of dinner, which I can only describe as something similar to a donut hole soaked in a delicious sugar syrup — yum. I would definitely recommend this place!

Not sure what was going when the Montréal Mirror wrote that review of Star of India but something must have changed. Their food was marginal… and that’s talking about the best dish I had. I think what really took the cake was when I had an order of chapati(for $ 1.50) and only 1 came. What’s with that?! It’s like buying a bag of chips only to find out that there are only a few in the entire bag… It’s like an electronic toy given without the batteries on Christmas… I mean if this chapati had been made with golden, mythical, Elysian wheat then maybe the price would have been justified… Ok i’m done. Star of India, like your name implies, only 1 star for you.

One star(no pun intended) just to be polite. The worst expensive Indian food I have ever had. Had the chicken korma, it was bland and on the cold side. Would not go back.

I have to agree with the first reviewer, very disappointing. If you want better Indian food at an amazing price, I would have to recommend Thali on the corner of St-Marc and St-Catherine a block away.

One of the first Indian restaurants I have ever eaten at. Actually I think it might of been the first. I don’t know if that disqualifies me from being a half decent critic. But I have eaten tonnes of Indian food since, and this place just didn’t cut it. The food was bland, uninspired, and presented in a sloppy fashion. Granted it is Indian food, but I believe that Indian unfairly gets a bad rap for being mishmash food. I think this place gets away with serving sub par Indian food, I do not recommend it.
