Pretty much any and every Indian dish you can think of is seriously delicious: samosas, naan bread, paneer - it's all super tasty. And in Montreal, we're really lucky to be surrounded by some of the most awesome Indian restaurants. Although they're all great in their own way, a select few stand out.

This trendy and seriously fun Indian restaurant is situated in Montreal's Griffintown. Not only is it the perfect place to go if you're looking for someplace super fun, but the food here also happens to be on its own level of awesome.

Situated in the West Island, Sahib has some of the tastiest butter chicken and samosas I've ever tried. On weekends, they even have a buffet, so you can get your fix of their delicious butter chicken - and then some.
7. India Beau Village

Honestly, I love this place. Located on Jarry, India Beau Village serves up some of the creamiest butter chicken and softest naan bread around... Bonus points for their incredibly friendly service and spacious location, too.
8. Thali

Thali, located right near Concordia University, is known for being two things: incredibly inexpensive, and incredibly delicious. Make sure to get there early, as this spot understandably gets full around supper time.
9. Thanjai

Ever tried Southern Indian cuisine? If you haven't, then you seriously don't know what you're missing out on. And if you've never tried South Indian cuisine from this Cote-Des-Neiges spot, then trust me, you're missing out big time. Protip: try their dosa... it's literally (yes, literally) mind blowing.
10. Bombay Choupati

This Indian spot is situated in the West Island; but even if you're nowhere near the West, you need to get yourself there, ASAP, just to try the delicacies here. Great food with a great vibe... legit, what could be better?
