Restaurant Bombay Choupati Enr

Their thali are pretty good. All the non-​vegetarian curries are good. And we like their chat too.
Food is very flavourful and they can adjust the spice level to your liking.
We are not a big fan of their Vegetarian dishes or the dosa.
The service is always warm and friendly.
It’s a small family run restaurant which has been around for many years.
And they have been consistently serving great Indian food all those years.

Really delicious!!! We got the Chicken Tikka and Butter Chicken dishes. Really amazing. Perfect amount of spices and flavor!

Packed every night for good reason. Be prepared to wait — but it’s so worth it. Such amazing food, kind service. Great butter chicken, naan, delicious vegan options

Excellent food and very friendly staff. The chicken tandoori is consistently delicious.

Butter chicken is worth the detour. Everything else tried is solid. Perfect for takeout

I am writing this for myself rather than as a review of the restaurant, simply because I want to remember the names of the wonderful dishes we had. And yes, it is worth the drive out to the West Island. This place doesn’t take reservations, and by 6:30 on Friday it was full. We started off with papadums and chaat (crispy snack with yogurt and tamarind sauce), followed by bhindi masala (okra), butter chicken and shrimp curry accompanied by rice and naans. We also each had a sweet milk lassi that was very light and not too sweet. The price is very reasonable and the food is great. There isn’t too much ambiance, but with good friends and good food, who cares about ambiance?

We were 5 girls at Bombay Choupati last night and everyone enjoyed the food. Especially the masala dosa (with a spicy coconut sauce which was so good with it), butter chicken, goat madras, gulab jamun and kulfi. The service was very friendly. Our waiter, Jay, was amused by our interesting conversations and chatted with us for a bit. Thanks for an awesome meal!

Had a really nice Dosa here for dinner tonight and when it came time to pay for the meal I was sure she had made a mistake. The Dosa was delicious, the service friendly and welcoming. I’d recommend this without hesitation, and hope to get back soon.

Hands down the best butter chicken in Montréal. The long drive to that end of the city is worth it!
I’ve tried the Butter Chicken, Lamb Curry, and Masala Dosa — and I rate them in that order.
My Friends tried the Chicken Tikka and Tandoori chicken and gave «delicious» as their verdict.
Appetizers are good but nothing worth mentioning.
Service is prompt and Friendly.
Accepts Credit Cards.
P. s.: if you end up there, don’t leave without getting that butter chicken! Trust me, you won’t regret.

Best indian food EVER!!! I’ve been coming here for years as well as everyone else in my family and we don’t even live in the West Island anymore. I love indian food and I’ve tried just about every place in Park Ex and nothing compares. Being a south indian restaurant means that they serve goat yummm and have some other interesting things on the menu that arent served everywhere. They’re all worth trying! The only issue I have ever had with this place is that sometimes there can be a line up and there have been times where they have been closed without notice. Its not fun when you’re coming from far, just to specially eat there but I’ve learned my lesson and now I always call first.

The place is small however wins on tastes. We had regular vegetarian combos. The taste is homely. If you are looking for a quick homely lunch, don’t miss out. However no fancy or lavish dishes.

I’ve come here 4 times now, and it’s still the same: terrible. I’ve read a lot of the reviews on here and the one I think got it right is someone that gave this place 3 stars.
First off, my lamb madras (thali) was FULL of bones, which makes it impossible to enjoy. The portions are very small… they put the (thin and burnt) nan bread in the biggest compartment (where most put the rice and bread and salad!) Than the rice is in the middle (bigger) of the 3 other compartments, and the boney lamb madras and boring potatoes in the last 2 compartments.
Oh yeah, I had to ask the waiter for a menu?!
Their water needs to be filtered…
The music is good but kept stopping and had to ask to put it back on.
I got there for lunch and was very hungry.
The meal left me hungry.
Portions are way too small.
The oils that they use are not easily digestible.
9 hours after I ate there, I still don’t feel right.
I guess people like this place cause it’s cheap?
When I parked I noticed garbage ALL OVER the parking lot, even an empty 40 oz. bottle of vodka.
This whole area and restaurant have no standards.
This is not representative of tasty, lovely indian food I’ve experienced at restaurants on Jean-​Talon or Darbar on St-​Laurent.
After 4 times I will never be going back.
This was not an off day.
This is just not a great place.

Superb — you must all visit! Very friendly and above all — authentic — great beer too :-)

This place is a hidden gem close to the Montréal airport. I would give the place five stars if the kitchen door of the restaurant did not open into the restaurant. Besides that one remark all I have to say is good things about this place.
I ordered paani puri and my husband ordered sev bataka puri for appetizers — both the things were absolutely yummy. We followed up with palak paneer, tandoori roti, veg pulao and raita — again all the things were so tasty and palatable that they ended up reminding me of home … true home style cooking. Very fresh!
Definitely check this place out in case you are in Montréal, QC!!!

Excellent lunch today. Ordered the butter chicken (because I’m a wuss) and it came back with just enough spice to not set my tongue on fire. Really tasty. (small con: would have loved a bit more.)
The rice was fine and the side potato whatever-​that-​was was delicious. Naan bread was slightly too burnt on one side for my liking.
Mango lassi was also excellent, and this glowing review was set in stone before I was served an extra small glass of the lassi after complimenting it. Nice touch.
Despite all tables being used, we were not rushed out of the restaurant. Very appreciated.
All in all, this is 4.5 stars. I am giving 4 despite only tiny negatives (small portion sizes and slightly burnt naan) but I could just as easily give this meal 5 stars. Ah well, room to improve.
Thanks for lunch!

It should have been 5 stars but the one hour wait for our food cost them a star.
You can tell this is a family business. Very small and feel at home type of place.
Found it thx to Unilocal.
The food was excellent and since we are spice seekers we asked everything spicy and boy was it ever. Even the Tandoori was spicy. My poor kids!!! But we polished everything including the 5 nan.
I could see them looking at us threw the kitchen to see if we can handle the spice. And trust me WE CAN!!! If anyone is looking for hot stuff these people have it.
We plan to go back and probably next time it will be 5 stars.

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in Montréal, and I’ve been to my fair share!
Great food, great service.
I love the fact that their food *isn’t* drenched in oil, like most other Indian restos. Big peeve. But the folks at BChoupati have everything down pat.

I came here for the wonderful Unilocal reviews, and frankly I was disappointed.
The food was much pricier for Indian cuisine, comparing to what I had elsewhere, and the quality is not really that marvellous. The curry was slightly watery, the portions were small, and the naan I got was 70% burnt on one side. The appetizer that was recommended by the waiter was really mediocre, and it was too sour (probably too much vinegar).
I had the Lamb Curry Thali and I enjoyed the spiciness of the curry and the vegetarian dishes, that extra kick really boosted the flavour of the whole plate a lot better. The Tandoori Chicken was dry and burnt, although it tasted nicely.
The service was great, the waiter was very polite and helpful. Food came out fast but the quality was subpar.
Final verdict: it is definitely not the «best Indian restaurant in the whole Montréal,» as claimed by some reviewers, seriously there are way better places on the northeastern part of the island. Maybe I went there on an off-​night, but it was really not what I expected.

Have eaten here 5 to 6 times a year for the last 10 or 12 years and I have never been disappointed. This is some of the best Indian food in Montréal. Rarely is Indian food prepared with such a fine touch… not heavy, over seasoned but rather light and fragrant. This small family run restaurant is all about the food and making you feel welcome.
Expect to wait… but if you are in a rush, go to one of the many crappy buffets littered about town. The service is what one expects in a resto such as this… friendly and ordered.
The kids love the mango lassy and I am found of the British and or Indian beer they have on tap. No samosas (thankfully) but a nan that is heavenly… try the pain puri or some of the other specialities… just ask.
The vegetarian thali is excellent… and I am a huge carnivore! This has become a family favourite. One word of caution… they close a couple of times a year to go to India, usually around Christmas so it is worth calling ahead.

Un resto indien vraiment excellent à Montréal! Le service est aussi bon que la bouffe, avec un staff très souriant et chaleureux qui accueil avec amour.
Le décor est modeste mais on né manqué pour rien dans ce lieu très intime. Les mets sont très authentiques et préparés avec soin. Le menu offre de très bon combo avec bon rapport qualité/​prix et le menu végé est très varié.
Je suggère fortement les entrées qui sortent un peu des habitués de la bouffe indienne; Bombay Bhel et Pani Puri sont mes préférés.
Je suggère fortement!

This restaurant has among the friendliest and hardest working staff we have ever encountered. My glass of water was always filled quickly! Often before I could finish it.
The food was fantastic. Hot and fresh from the kitchen. The portions were great. A little more than enough person, but not quite enough for two, but obviously, that depends on your appetite.
The tables and cutlery were clean. I did not check the restroom. They accept Visa & MasterCard, but no American Express. There was plenty if parking in the lot outside.
Overall, a wonderful experience. It was highly recommended by friends, and we’ll recommend it ourselves now.
