    This is a wonderful place with fantastic food!  Be prepared to take your time to enjoy every mouthful. It's an expensive place for dinner but worth it. Try the lunch special for a real treat. The staff is very friendly too.

    Don't expect to get in and out quick. Just sit back and enjoy.

    I would have given this one four stars if it wasn't expensive. But then again I am a student on a budget.

    A bunch of my friends were visiting Montreal over a long weekend and we decided to try this one out. The decor was well done, the staff was friendly and the service was good.

    The food was tastier compared to most of the other Indian Restaurants in Montreal but I have had better. However they do have a really good variety of starters and appetizers and their dishes will leave your taste palate well satisfied.

    Only decent Indian restaurant I've been to so far. It's expensive but the dishes are full of flavor when you take a first bite. I recommend ordering the manchurian cauliflower (appetizer), butter chicken, and any of the usual curries like lamb/chicken etc.  It's vegetarian friendly and service is friendly. They also have weird spices at the door that look like potpourri, I think it's to freshen your breath.

    Randomly walked in because we saw it from across the street. Was really good and looking forward to trying the place in the city. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I don't remember what we got not but it was all vegetarian and delicious. I even took a card, in case I came back to Montreal! Ha.

    Craving an Indian snack, we stumbled across Devi on a particularly hot day in Montreal. Located on the shady side of very busy and popular Crescent street, we were concerned that we'd be the only people on the small patio and therefore felt we were taking our chances, but were determined to have Indian over pub food.

    Having had some terrible service while visiting Montreal, I wasn't holding out for exceptional service here either. I was pleasantly surprised. The wait staff was very attentive and the appetizers we had were incredible and fresh. We ordered the samosas, vegetable skewers, the potato patties and spicy chicken mikka. All were very satisfying. The only disappointment was their lack of variety for Indian beer...the only available ones being on draught. We chose Heineken to compliment our afternoon snack.

    Looking forward to trying a full dinner here next time we are in Montreal.

    Extraordinary customer service shows they know what business they're in (Hospitality). Will return to explore more of this menu. The chef really knows sauces. So tasty and so subtle. This is a place to explore Indian cuisine. No wonder Devi is recommended by the major Montreal hotels. Devi features familiar Indian dishes but also diverges into regional fare. A good place to explore food and wine pairing. Our friends from India armed us with suggested dishes to try and we were delighted.

    This restaurant was horrible. We ordered the special murg tikka and the chicken tasted as though they threw a frozen chicken packet into the oven, sprinkled some salt and pepper and served it to us. We also ordered the paneer makhani and it was sub standard.
    The naan was tasty, so if you're up for some naan and pickles.. go for it. Otherwise i'd steer clear of this place.

    Hard sell from the wait staff wasn't appreciated. The service was horribly slow, and we had to beg for our bill. I ultimately had to approach the apologetic bartender to close out our bill since it had been over a half hour since we first wanted our bill.

    The food was ok, nothing special. A little overpriced for what you get too, but ultimately satisfying. The seasonings aren't exactly authentic either. The dal makhani basically tasted like Mexican chili but with lentils.

    We won't go back.
