What brought us back here the second time? The food - & the service!
We visited Les Épices Grillées twice during our stay in Québec, & both experiences were amazing. On our first visit, we absolutely loved the generous portion of the mutton biryani, chicken fried rice with tandoori chicken, & chicken kebab - everything was flavorful, fresh, & very satisfying.
We returned again & tried the garlic naan, lamb jalfrezi, & chicken Madras - & once again, the food did not disappoint. Rich flavors, great spice levels, & truly comforting food.
A special mention to the person who took our order both times (we unfortunately forgot to ask his name!) - he really understood our taste preferences & guided us so well with recommendations. The service was warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming.
Amazing food, very good service, & definitely one of the highlights of our Québec trip. Highly recommend!

We ate here for two consecutive days & tried different vegetarian dishes each time-everything was amazing. The Dal Bhuna, Paneer Tikka, & Veg Biryani were especially delicious. The naan was freshly baked, soft, & perfectly cooked. Customer service was also excellent, & Sumon gave us the best recommendations. Highly recommended for vegetarian food lovers.
My family & I ordered the butter chicken, lamb biryani, tikka masala, & garlic naan. If we're being very nitpicky, my sister says the garlic naan could've been a bit more garlicky, but other than that, all the food was so good & flavourful. Reasonably priced & great service. Would 100% come back again.
The food here was absolutely amazing! I loved the lamb biryani & the butter chicken !! both were full of flavor & cooked perfectly. The owners were very friendly & welcoming, which made the experience even better.
It would be even nicer if the vibe & interior design had a mix of Indian & Bangladeshi style. (Since they were Bangladeshi) I'd definitely go back again & if they added some Bangladeshi dishes to the menu, it would make it perfect for trying food from both countries! :)
The food had good flavours but the chicken was overcooked. We had the chicken jalfreezi. The jalfrezi flavour was spot on & tasty, the chicken itself was slightly overdone. The naan that came with it probably lacked salt in the dough.
The food took a while to get ready which had my hopes up (thought they were slow cooking). Unfortunately the product didn't match the expectation.
The food was absolutely amazing, very authentic & full of flavour. Every dish we tried was a standout. The lamb biryani was rich, aromatic, & perfectly cooked. The lamb jalfrezi had a wonderful depth of flavour with just the right amount of heat. The chicken tikka masala was creamy, flavourful, & satisfying, & the garlic naan was soft, fresh, & perfect for scooping up every last bit.
We finished with gulab jamun, which was melt-in-your-mouth soft & perfectly balanced, not overly sweet like at many other places.
Service was friendly & attentive, the ambience was warm & inviting, & the prices were very reasonable. We were simply impressed. Highly recommended!
