Nous somme venu manger même après avoir lu certain review car le menu semblais abordable ! Ont etais un peu effrayer du aux nombreux commentaires négatif parlant de nourriture crue , pain dure comme du béton etc ! Nous somme entrée dans un restaurant vide un vendredi soir vers 7h alors que tout les autre restaurant sur la rue etais plein ce qui nous a pas rassurer des le départ ! Finalement les repas etaient copieux & très abordable ! Les 4 recettes que nous avons goûter étaient tous vraiment délicieux ! La propreté certe pourrait être améliorer mais pour ce qui est de la nourriture rien à dire ! Le naan etais super frais contrairement à beaucoup de commentaire lut ! Ce n'est pas du haut de gamme comme certains restaurants indien à Québec mais loin d'être un endroit à fuire , ont va y retourner avec plaisir !
We visited here with a hope to taste the Indian food in Quebec. We ordered Chicken Tikka, Chicken Biryani (as they call it) & garlic naan with green chilli chicken Curry. Every item was packed with a surprise 😳 for me.
Surprise No.1 : Chicken Tikka - we ordered thinking it's an appetiser. Instead it was served with Rice (Adhi dha Surprise😅)….
Surprise No.2: I ordered chicken Biryani but what I got looks more like Chicken Pulao that's not the Surprise part….Surprise part is no Raita with Biryani (Hyderabadi's knows its importance). For that we need to pay.
One more surprising part is that we found a broccoli 🥦 in the biryani…. I don't know if chef was trying to make a healthier version of Biryani….
Surprise No.4: green chilli chicken gravy style…. I thought it would be served as a gravy style of chilli chicken…. But instead it is green chilli in a normal chicken gravy.
Overall I'm not satisfied with the food….& suggestion to the restaurants'Pls don't call pulavs a Biryani'. If you are serving just the pulav, pls mention chicken Pulao. We will keep our expectations low.
My wife & I are avid East Indian diners. This was a great food experience. The chicken biryani was spicy & flavourful. The lamb tikka masala was also delightful & flavorful. Our naan was hot, fresh & light. The staff were quick & very attentive. Great portions & value for the price. A recommend.

We tried a mix of dishes-butter chicken, dal makhani, paneer tikka, & garlic naan-& honestly, everything was full of rich, traditional flavors. The butter chicken was creamy & perfectly spiced, & the naan was soft, fresh, & loaded with garlic-just how we like it. Portions were generous, & everything came out hot & fresh.
The service was great too. The staff was super friendly, quick, & even adjusted the spice levels just the way we wanted. The vibe of the place was cozy & welcoming, with soft Bollywood music playing in the background, which added a nice touch.
We ended the meal with mango lassi & gulab jamun, & both were absolutely delicious.
Whether you're familiar with Indian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a total gem. Can't wait to go back!
Ce n'était pas mauvais en soit mais très déçu des plats .. je me faisais une joie de manger un bon poulet au beurre & un biryani mais ce sont les moins bons de toute ma vie. Même les naan, pas extras. .Je ne recommande pas, dommage
I had a late lunch/early dinner at this restaurant yesterday. I love curry & where I live in the US, there are no Indian restaurants nearby. So, what a treat to find one while exploring Quebec. First, the restaurant is located in a desirable section of Quebec where the street is a pedestrian-only street that is lined with many cafes, restaurants, bars, & small shops. A must see! Spices of India is located down basement steps in an historic building. So there are no windows in the restaurant which means the ambiance is a tad dark. Not a problem for me. Because it was mid-day, the place was empty except for one other table. I ordered two dishes & some naan. While I was waiting for my meal to arrive, the other table, a party of six, complained that the food did not taste authentic. The waiter explained that's how they cook it in Quebec. The table & the waiter exchanged some more words about the food, they paid, & left. My food arrived. It looked so yummy. But at first bite, I could see what the other table was complaining about. Both dishes were very bland. Not one hint of curry spice in either dish. I was disappointed. I stole a salt shaker from a nearby table to help bring out some flavors. The salt made it more palatable. I was super hungry when I arrived, so I ate both dishes. & I told the waiter the food was good. But in reality, I think the chef missed the mark. Or perhaps the locals prefer bland foods. IDK. The naan was yummy, however. The service was good. But the food could use more spices to make it more flavorful. I am not talking about adding spices to make it hot to the taste, just enough to taste like a real authentic curry dish. Lastly, if you hope to order a stiff drink with dinner here, as an FYI, this restaurant is a carry-in-your-own-booze place.
Repas à emporter
Poulet madras & le plat végétarien aux aubergines (censé être le plus proche du Bagan bharta )
Ce fut un désastre total - on ne goûte que le chili - -aucune subtilité d'épices indiennes & délicatesse de goût habituelle dans les mets indiens même forts - plat D'aubergine baignant dans l'huile -
Même le naan était un désastre - pas cuit & pâteux ! Seul point positif le riz ! & je fait que ce ne soit
Pas trop salé -
Une expérience à ne pas répéter pour moi !
