Masala Palace Restaurant on queen Mary in Montreal

If you like good Indian cuisine then the Masala Palace is one of Montreal's best kept secrets. I stumbled across this restaurant while I was taking one of my evening walks through the neighborhood walking along Queen Mary Road heading west from Decarie Boulevard. The big sign outside the restaurant read "MASALA PALACE". It had a nice storefront with a couple of written newspaper articles about this restaurant. I was intrigued and pleasantly surprised by the very postive reviews of the restaurant particularly by The Montreal Gazette daily newspaper here in town. I grabbed a take-out/delivery menu from the restaurant and decided to give this one a try one day. Well, since about 2 months ago I've ordered out from there 3 times, and have taken my British-born friend to the Masala Palace for a dine-in experience. The service was superb. You can easily tell that this place is "family run",and the personnel really took care of you making sure at each opportunity that you were totally satisfied with not only the service but the food as well. The waiter even explained in detail what the dishes were comprised of and how they were cooked. We tried the butter chicken, the Bhoona Gosht Lamb, and a chicken Korma along with Basmati rice and nan bread. All I can say is that this place gets my "2 thumbs up". Please try this place. You will not regret it. It's also very reasonably priced since it's not located in the downtown core of the city where Indian restaurants are priced much higher. Expect to spend about $30.00 per person for a well balanced and tasty Indian food experience.Lunch specials will run about $20.00 . The website address is : www.masala-palace.com
Telephone number for take-out or delivery is: 514-731-5277
