Chand Palace

I went there a couple of time. Also ordered take out many times. Its not my favorite indian in montreal. I do prefer the one accross the street. Seems like the cooks put too much salt in everything. Servicr is good. But nobody speak french.

Food is absolutely great and so are the prices; if it was only that, I would have rated the place 5*. Unfortunately the place is cramped and we felt we were hushed-​out quickly when done (they even told clients a table would be ready soon, pointing at us, when we were still there and eating. I would possibly go back if I was in the neighborhood, but wouldn’t make a detour to go there as we did. Definitely more of a take-​out place.

Every time I go back I am blown away by how consistently good Chand Palace is. I have tried various menu items now, and each one has been as tasty as the last. Highly recommended for satiating that Indian craving.

This cosy family restaurant, located on Jean Talon conveniently near l’Acadie is my favourite Indian place. Family run, the service is professional and efficient. They didn’t mind making food specially to my taste preference as I am sensitive to spicy food. Every time I’ve gone to Chand Palace I’ve been greeted by the same quality of delicious food and affordable prices. They even do takeout! Although they do not have an alcohol license, it is BYOB making an even more affordable option.

Let me start by saying that Indian is my favorite cuisine, and I have eaten at probably 10 different Indian restaurants in Montréal alone. That being said, this one is by far my favorite. The food is super cheap, with lamb dishes coming to just 8.99. That means that two people can eat there with rice and naan and even two drinks for under $ 30. Without drinks it can be under $ 25 depending on the dishes you choose. Other than being cheap, the food is very good. The sauces are well seasoned and the ones that are listed as being spicy are actually spicy. The staff seems to all be part of an extended family, which is probably one of the reasons that everyone is so nice. The place is pretty small, so when it fills up it can be a bit loud, but if you are in the mood for Indian and you are on a budget this is absolutely the place to go.
PS: This place is BYOB, and there are plenty of depanneurs in the area

Bön, propre, gentille serveuse,… Et vraiment abordable !!! Malgré que c’est trop bruyant je laisse 5 étoiles car c’est une bonne place à connaître pour les gens qui aime manger indien dans un endroit propre !

I’m not a fan of Indian, but this place rocks…
Cheap, bring your own wine, butter chicken is a bit on the sweet side but it kills. The naan is so good soft and melts in your mouth.
The onion badjis were crispy and tender so good. Must go back so many dishes I gotta try :)

I absolutely adore this Indian greasy spoon. It’s definitely a hole in the wall so not the fanciest restaurant. However, what Chand lacks in fanciness, it makes up in their delicious food. The naan is cooked to perfection, and the butter chicken is to die for. Whatever you order, you really can’t go wrong! If it wouldn’t for the nasty health effects of such delicious food, I would frequent this place more often.

This is by far my favourite Indian restaurant in park ex. It’s BYOB and the food is always tasty and consistent. I almost always get the veggie thali. The mains vary so the thali is always a little different from the last. Everything else I’ve tried on the menu is great too (butter chicken, lamb curry, biriani, samosas). Service is fast and courteous. It’s a small restaurant so expect it to be to packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Not the best looking one in terms of looks but I really don’t mind as the food makes up for it!

I absolutely adore this place. The staff are quick and kind, the food is consistently delicious, you can get a full meal for under 10 $ AND it’s BYOB.
What else could a girl ask for?

Looking for indian food and following my trusted Unilocal fellows, we decided to try Chand Palace.
Even though we got there rather early (a little bit after 6pm — yes I did forget that people eat early around here!), the place was already busy.
We managed to get a little table near the kitchen and near everyone else (expect to eat sitting very very close to people you don’t know — good if you want to meet strangers, bad if you’re on the asocial side like me!).
Being cold, we started with soups, a dhal and a Malcatani, both were quite good. We then followed with a veggie thali and a lamb one. Again, both were quite good. The naan was delicious, the rice maybe a little dry but overall quite good.
The reason I am not giving it a higher star-​rating is that, thanks to the expeditive service, we were in and out of there in under 25 minutes. So, if you’re looking for a place to take your time to enjoy the food and company, this might not be the place.

While craving Indian food in Montréal, we first went to Darbar, which seemed like you had to have a reservation to get in. Then, we wanted to try Maison, but there was also a huge line. We saw Chand Palace across the street from Maison, walked in, and though it was busy, got a table right away. Our server was very polite, (even though we made ordering food a complicated ordeal). The food came out fast, hot, and delicious. I especially loved the creamy sauce of the butter chicken and the soft naan. The prices? About $ 70 for 5 people, including apps and beverages. Not bad, I say, I’d definite

This is one good authentic Indian BYOB in Parc-​Ex that consistently delivers. They have the best naan in the neighborhood in my opinion: crisp outside, hot and chewy inside. The spinach-​based dishes like Palak Paneer and Lamb Saag have an amazing creamy texture, spiced but not spicy. The Goat Curry had fall-​off-​the-​bone meat. Chicken Tikka Masala was a great one as well. The Chicken Jalfraizie and Thali special were less impressive in comparison. None of the food was overly salty.
Service at Chand Palace is miles apart from the other Indian places in the neighborhood. It’s consistently friendly and fast. One can afford to order again after finishing the first serving, and trust me, for such quality at the prices they charge, it will be hard to resist. I would not hesitate to bring a friend/​date/​my second stomach to Chand Palace. Debit or cash.

I ordered chicken vindaloo with a na’an, a fried bread, and a garlic na’an.
Chicken vindaloo:
Good flavors but the hotness and the saltiness were a bit overwhelming. I had a hard time tasting the other flavours (spices) in a distinguishable manner.
Na’an:
Very nice, partly because it was baked with oil. Makes me wanna come back just for this.
Fried bread: no, never again. Greasy and bland, tasted like fried dough.
Garlic Na’an: Covered with finely chopped garlic but not much flavor coming out from them. Not as good as the simple na’an at 1.25 $, cheapest item on the menu.
I usually don’t talk about service, but I feel like I should say something about the lack of waiters in this place. The water was never filled, and the waiters never came to us unless we waved.

I loved the food and the price, the only problem you may have is with parking. The restaurant itself is a bit of a tight fit, but if you’re there at a less busy time it’s worth it.
If you’re on a budget — and who isn’t at this time of year — then one of the thali plates is a must-​have. I got the butter chicken thali which came with a veggie curry, rice, a naan bread, and a few salad vegetables (possibly something else…) and a mango lassi. The lassi was sweet and thick, perfect for cutting the spice, although I didn’t have a problem with the heat level. For less than 13 $ (including tax and tip) I was stuffed and left with a smile on my face.

Deuxième visite à ce resto. Dernière fois, j’ai été quand il allait fermé donc je n’ai pris que 2 plats… Bref, cette fois-​ci j’ai pu savouver comme il faut. J’ai pris trois entrées différentes, Samosas, oignons frit et les crevettes Pakora. Toutes les trois délicieuse. J’ai pris un Thali comme plat pricipal. Si vous voulez goûter à un peu de tout je vous le conseille. 7 $ pour un Thali en souper et cela inclut le pain Naan, du riz blanc, un morceau de poulet Tandori, des legumes cuits et un morceau de tomate et concombre et un super bon poulet au beurre. Super repas pour moins de 15 $ chacun :) (Nous étions 2) Je suis habitué à aller au Punjab Palace, mais je crois que je vais allet plus souvent là. Il y a beaucoup moins de monde (dans le sens que c’est intime), c’est un peu moins cher et c’est délicieux et surtout le service est meilleur :)
Ah oui! ET SURTOUT C’EST UN APPORTEZ VOTRE VIN :)
Bonne visite!

3 etoiles c’est peu, je sais! La raison c’est que d’une fois a l’autre ca peut-​etre bon ou ben ordinaire voir decevant. A l’ouverture c’etait tres bon et a ma derniere fois j’ai regretté de l’avoir choisis.
Ca reste que ca peut etre bon, que le service est excellent pour pour un resto indien, c’est propre et les portions sont bonnes.
+++Pas cher du tout, tres abordable!

Testé lors d’un Lunch Break Unilocal,j’ai vraiment adoré.
Vu de l’extérieur et même à l’intérieur ça né paie pas de mine, mais il né faut pas se fier aux apparences.
La nourriture est excellente, j’adore l’indien et j’ai été gâté, ça goûté vraiment la cuisine traditionnel comme si c’était la grand-​mère qui cuisinait pour nous. L’assiette est énorme il y a vraiment de quoi manger, et surtout ce n’est pas très cher.
Donc zéro hésitation il faut tester.

Je suis allée au Chand Palace grâce à la gang de BYO Monday. Arrivée la dernière, je me suis assise alors que tout le monde était en train de discuter «on partage» versus «chacun pour soi» avec un consensus pour le partage. Puisque j’aime pas mal tout, et qu’en terme de cuisine indienne je n’ai jamais mangé quelque chose que je n’ai pas aimé, mais aux pires des endroits, j’ai laissé le reste de la table décidé. Et c’était bon! Il y avait un peu de tout et même quelques plats nouveau pour moi: des crevettes aux beurre… mmm… j’en rêve encore!
En plus c’est un apportez votre vin et la majorité des tables semblaient en profiter. Ça n’est pas l, endroit le plus luxueux (c’est presque style cantine), mais l’éclairage et l’ambiance en général rend l’endroit quand même intime et chaleureux. J’en suis sortie le ventre plein ayant eu la chance de goûté à tous les plats et ça coûté seulement 15 $ taxes et un généreux pourboire inclus.
La rumeur veut aussi qu’ils ont des superbes assiettes végétarienne pour l’heure du lunch pour environ 5 – 6 $ qui sont tellement généreuses que vous aurez des restants, garanti! Donc, je risqué fort bien de ré-​essayer le Chand Palace!
