Chand Palace — Restaurant in Montreal

We were staying a couple minutes outside of downtown Montreal, and wanted some reliably good eats. So we walked to a particularly South Asian dining area, and stopped at Chand Palace.

As you step into the restaurant you quickly realize that you're going to be enjoying a close quarters meal. Space is a luxury in here.

For my meal, I chose the lamb curry. I've always been a fan of the texture of well cooked lamb served along side a distinct flavour sauce or gravy, and I wasn't disappointedd at Chand. The curry was well seasoned, appropriately spicy, and just overall comforting. I definitely would have appreciated a bigger serving.

We enjoyed it enough to come back later in the week, at which time I got my hands on their Thali Non-Vegi with Chicken, which is a platter that comes with chicken, chicken curry, a potato veggie dish, naan, rice, and so-so salad. Though there was nothing wrong with this dish, I would not jump to order it again, and would instead opt for that banging curry. And by the way, this place is BYOB, so feel free to bring whatever you feel.

I think this place is swell, and I'm sure you would...

We usually go to Dee's for our eyebrows threading. It's lunchtime, plus it's raining hard. So we took shelter at this restaurant. The restaurant was empty, we were the first customers, then slowly it the filled up for lunch.

Being an Indian, I know the food well, therefore I am sadly disappointed with most the food. My mango lassi was perfect. Pani Puri was a let down; not enough vegetables and the sauce was bland, not enough spices. Samosas another letdown, the filling was ok, so I just ate that but the pastry was absorbed by the oil so much. Paneer Pakora, I have no complaints. Parantas (plain))were over cooked and the taste was bitter. Aloo (potato) parantas tasted more ginger than the potato.

In the other hand, the service was good and super quick.

Honestly, I don't really recommend this place. If you want to go to a small authentic Indian restaurant; I recommend Pushap and Thali...

I used to absolutely adore this restaurant. It was my favourite Indian restaurant. But in the last year or so, everytime I go.. I never get the dish I order. When I ask them if they can make it mild for me, they say yes and bring me a completely different tasting dish than what I ordered and that was actually way more spicy than it was initially. This has happened to me on several occasions. My partner couldn't believe they brought me back a completely different dish that was actually spicier. I didn't want to make a fuss so I tried my best to eat it, but just couldn't continue. I really want to love this place because it used to be amazing. But now I never know what I'll actually get...
