Kundah Hôtel propose une expérience de restauration fusion unique qui marie des saveurs d inspiration indienne à des produits locaux, recevant régulièrement des éloges pour son menu dégustation créatif et son service professionnel exemplaire. Bien que de nombreux clients considèrent ce restaurant comme une destination culinaire incontournable à Québec grâce à son atmosphère vivante et ses cocktails exceptionnels, certains visiteurs trouvent le concept clivant, soulignant que l approche fusion peut décevoir ceux qui recherchent une cuisine indienne traditionnelle. Les expériences peuvent parfois varier, avec des remarques sur l inconstance des portions, les temps d attente ou le placement des tables, mais l avis général met en avant un environnement accueillant où le personnel s efforce constamment de répondre aux besoins alimentaires et d offrir un repas de grande qualité.
Can't say the food wasn't good, it was. There was just too little of it. The Indian fusion should have been better explained in either the menu or by the staff. Traditional dishes have the traditional name but what you are served is not traditional. It was also extremely hot in the restaurant. The music was way too loud.
We had a fabulous meal here in late June. There were 4 of us, & we did the chef's menu with 15 dishes served over 3 courses. It was AMAZING- so much variety, so flavourful. The service was also top notch- very friendly people & took the time to explain all the dishes in detail. The ambience is good- fairly casual but well designed, not pretentious at all. Fantastic value- I'm from Vancouver, where we also have great Indian food- but a meal like this would have easily cost us double. Highly recommend!
I went for their superb tasting menu, a feast of fusion Indian cuisine with unique modern touches. All staff work to create a memorable experience, they explain each dish & make sure you are happy at every stage. Yes, a very well deserved Michelin mention! They take the traditional flavors to all audiences. I saw locals, young diners, connoisseurs, & all with a happy face. The price-point is moderate & the tasting menu a jewel on the menu. Try it if you can! I was lucky to get bar seating with no reservation, do reserve & plan the feast.
Kundah presents an ambitious concept, but the reality is a disjointed dining experience. Gatekeeping tables seems to be part of the front-of-house strategy; we were told the dining room was fully booked, only to be seated next to a sea of empty tables that never filled up.
The kitchen's approach to progressive Indian cuisine unfortunately results in a flawed fusion. The menu highlights were missteps: a poorly executed Vada Pav remix, an onion bhaji devoid of its namesake ingredient & containing just fried rice balls. Furthermore, the beverage execution lacked authenticity. Labeling a westernized chai latte as a'Masala Chai'-without a hint of real masala-feels lazy rather than innovative. While the venue aims for a high-end, Michelin-esque status, the lackluster flavors & puzzling hospitality prove they have a long way to go.
Truly stands out to the concept of fusion & serves Indian dishes with a unique flavour & twist. The snack menu we tried were a bit bland & could have some more spice level to complement the Indian-inspired base of the menu.
You may find it costly. Food quality is good but quantity are less. Don't bring your kids. If you are Indian, note this is no normal restaurant, so be prepared for surprises. I would say avoid if you are Indians.
Service & ambience were good, but if you're looking for truly authentic Indian food-or even a decent fusion take-this restaurant isn't a good choice. We tried their version of palak paneer, & it was very disappointing. If you're expecting the authentic taste, I would strongly suggest avoiding it. We also tried their lassi but it had soda in it which was again disappointing. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to an Indian audience.
Google lists this place as an Indian restaurant, & while the menu is Indian-inspired, it is clearly more of a fusion concept rather than authentic Indian cuisine. The waitress did inform us upfront that the food is fusion, which we appreciated.
We didn't have a reservation but were able to get a table for four without much difficulty. The place seems quite popular with locals & feels more like a pub-style restaurant with an Indian twist. The ambience is lovely, with plenty of plants & a warm atmosphere. The service was excellent - attentive & friendly throughout our visit. The only small suggestion would be to keep the music slightly more mellow to enhance the dining experience.
As for the food, we ordered chapathis, dhal, channa curry, & tandoori cauliflower. The chapathis were quite small & not properly baked. The dhal was sweeter than expected, while the channa curry was decent. The tandoori cauliflower was disappointing - it felt more steamed & al dente rather than properly tandoor-roasted, with minimal spices. It did have an interesting combination of blueberries with mint & jeera/ajwain, which was unique, but overall lacked depth of flavor.
The prices are on the higher side for what is offered. The portions are really very small for the price, which was disappointing. Street parking is available but can be difficult to find.
The service was very quick & the staff were friendly.
Overall, it's a good spot for those looking for a fusion-style, low-spice Indian experience in a pleasant pub-like setting, but definitely not ideal if you're expecting authentic Indian flavors & spicy food..
Eloise was awesome! My party of 5 had such a fun time at Kundah! We had the tasting menu & Eloise was able to give us great suggestions despite dealing with several different dietary preferences & allergies.
The food was delicious, the butter duck & dahl were favorites of our party.
Highly recommend this place if you are looking for excellent Indian food in Quebec City.
