Les délices d'Ariana — Restaurant in Quebec

I enjoyed my experience at the restaurant Ariana. This was my first visit. I started with a cup of tea and a baklava. The menu was very versatile especially the vegetarian options. Even though I am not vegetarian I appreciate having the options for choosing the source of protein for my meal. I chose bademjon beryani which was super tasty. I appreciate the spice. The next dish was the chicken buttermilk, it was different than other chicken buttermilk I have had before in Indian restaurant. I enjoyed the sweetness of the buttermilk it may not be everyone's cup of tea. The bread was light and fresh! The portion was perfect 👌 and I had some leftover. I later had the leftover and they preserved very well and tasted great! The atmosphere was nice and decoration makes you feel sitting in a city in middle east now I know how restaurants are in Afghanistan and I would like to visit...

Although the food we had was pretty good, there very little for the money we paid. But - and this is where this restaurant becomes interesting - the service was atrocious. It took one hour and a half to get our food, we ate without utensils, had to go downstairs to get our drinks, FOUND A GODDAMN PLASTIC ARROW IN THE CHICKEN, we almost got kicked out at the end (not because of bad behaviour, but because «Well, it's getting late (10pm) we want to go home», the waiter left dirty dishes on our table while we were eating, brought the bread with his hands and gave it to us. When we finally got the utensils (at the end of the diner), the waiter just threw a bunch of them on the table and said «Serve yourself». That was by far the worse restaurant experience I had, (though we had much fun laughing on how ridicoulus the situation was). Anyway, I don't recommend this...

Date : Nov. 2, 2019 Place looks great from the inside. If you would like to pay to sit in a nicely decorated restaurant- by all means go for it. But the food was not edible. I ordered two meals for the wife and I to share and here are our thoughts:

1- butter chicken: it was a skewer of chicken simply placed in a bowl of warm condensed milk... not making this up, it was chicken dipped in WARM MILK!!!!! 2- Lamb Beryani: it was tomato rice with lamb, it was not Beryani, and didnt taste like Beryani.

Over all- we were really disappointed, barely made a dent in the plates and ended up leaving it and going to another restaurant.

To the chef / cook : please re-assess your plates, or get real feedback from people that care for the restaurant...
