Lal Kella Tandoori in Châteauguay

Be careful, the website is still up. I sent an email to make a reservation and I have not received a response or a message indicating that the address is closed. I tried to call and there was no answer, we showed up anyway and the place was for rent..

First and last time. 55 minutes before receiving an entry. 1h30 to receive our main dishes. The food was buff and tasteless. The nan bread was nicely toasted but after paying extra for the garlic butter I would have liked to be able to smell it.

If you like Indian, you will like it!!! excellent butter chicken!!!

I like food

so good

First time going. The food was out standing definitely going back soon

Best Indian restaurant ever!!! Incredible family, intimacy, service, welcome, meals, simply great place!!!!!!

Amazing food and amazing service! 5 stars without hesitation!

Great food, great price

Great food. Extremely expensive for a family of four. Can only afford to go here for special occasions. But its very good, especially the naan.

Good Good service Some items on the menu were not available during our visit.

The combos are totally worth it. Their meal for 2 is 50$ (25$ per person) and it comes with 4 different plates + an entrée, rice and naan. Getting individual plates is less interesting though, most plates with meat are around 20$ and they are the same size as the individual plates that come in the combos. Went with my wife and daughter (12y), had a combo for my wife and I and my daughter had a Tandoori chicken plate. She was still hungry after she finished her plate (remember its 20$ while our combo is 25$ each) and we gave her some of our combo to fill her. So Im giving 4 stars instead of 5 for the fact that I find the individual plates a rip-off compared to the combos. Next time Ill take a combo for 2 for my daughter too and just bring the left overs home... Vegetarian options: Pretty much all the curries are available as vegetarian too . Parking: Big parking lot plenty of space Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating when you show up with children,last time they sat the family with kids a bit apart from the rest of the people so they could have space to move.

Very nice restaurant, quiet, and its really delicious! Great value for money!

Exceptional restaurant for many years. The KORMA chicken is to die for!!! One of the best restaurants in Châteauguay without hesitation!

Worst ever experience, real chef is on vacation (feb1, 2024) and we ordered take away, absolutely tasteless watered down Vindaloo and the worst butter chicken possible, no spices, just chicken in coconut milk and water. Called to ask what changed and was told to cook my own food if we are a half Indian family. Do not recommend, actually went to return the food and was met with a dumbfounded one of the brothers who couldn t offer a simple fix or refund. $45 on inedible food and now I m getting take away somewhere else because my 5 yr old is too afraid that she will sick from the bad chicken.

Very nice experience

Meal service a little too long

The people are very courteous and welcoming but the waiting time to receive your dish was more than 1h30

Very small portions for the high price we paid. VERY rude and inappropriate service from the waitress and waiters. Waited 1 hour for Chana Masala, very mediocre, oily liquid sauce. Very disappointed to have spent money on this place.

First time Ive heard of this place, and I wonder why I havent found out about it before. I was pleasantly surprised by the dish that was recommended to me, and the bread was very good. It was a first but wont be the last.

Wheelchair accessibility: Très accessible Food

Delicious food, generous portions, reasonable price, excellent service. Plus, we can bring our own drink! In short, we really liked this restaurant and we will definitely return.

Superb discovery! Everything was EXCELLENT. My daughters tasted Indian cuisine for the first time and they loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant. Parking: Plenty of parking spaces available.

Excellent food and impeccable service. Thank you for your welcome.

Super good Indian restaurant..affordable price. $60 for 2 (2022) for a shared meal...we taste several dishes...excellent

Wonderful place, the food is okay. I tried only one time. The waitresses are polite. Losing two stars because of the boss of Lal Kella Tandoor (red banana oven). He is very uncooperative person. I was there with my two months old son. He could understand my circumstance.

Very average fare. Lacks flavor the naan, the samosas a little overdone, bitter chicken chicken lacks that grilled chicken flavor and lacks flavor in general. Their green sauce isnt spicy as it is supposed to be and a bit watery. As well as the microwave goes off way too often for my liking meaning theres more reheating going on that cooking. Otherwise nice atmosphere, not many people dining in.

At this menu price, won t sustain at all. Butter chicken for 20$? Else where it is just 12-14$. Who keeps these menu prices. Geez

The food in and out is so tasty! Naan bread is so soft, the lamb korma is sweet but not too sweet. The other plates that i tried too do not fail to impress. If flavor is what your looking for, look no further, because this is it!

Good food

Great food, great service, great experience. The music and the decoration is great to get in the mood for the food. Every dish I tried was good, well made and well seasoned. My only problem with the food is that sometimes you get pieces of meat that are more fat than meat.

Nice food and decent sized portions. The curries were a bit bland and did lack a bit of flavour and spice, but overall they were pleasant to eat. The staff were all very friendly and I d definitely go back again

Tasty food. I tried lamb biriyani and tried Naan bread with a sweet mint sauce. Either dish was not too greasy, as Ive experienced elsewhere. Friendly service. Would be a repeat customer.

The food is excellent and the service always impeccable! A little brushing or washing the walls wouldnt do any harm.

Best Indian food, never had such craving for Indian food after eating there.

This place is getting creepy, dust , just try to sit on their banket , mlao. Food is really not wat it was , Go elsewhere if you know what is good indish food you will be in pain

Today was our first visit based on a recommendation of a friend. Definitely not disappointed. Lamb Rogan Josh and Chana Masala is amazing. The butterfly shrimp is incredible. Our server, Michaela is one of the best servers you will ever have. Very informative and amicable. Thank you for a pleasant evening.

Really good restaurant. Excellent food and very good service. One of the best Indians on the south shore. Excellent value for money. We will come back for sure.

Am really not understanding this restaurants rating. If you have ever eaten good Indian food, you would know this place is a 1 star. The service is good but that s it. The place is also not very clean and the prices are very high, certainly much too high for the quality of the food. You can get much much better elsewhere.

Even if you order the biriyani and kebab, a tasty vegetable dish comes with it. I really liked it because you cannot possibly have an unhealthy all meat and carb diet even if your budget forced you to order it. The additional orders also came to the table within a very reasonable time. Castle-like place, huge parking space, efficient staffs.

Delicious food, unique flavors you dont get in many restraunts, with competitive prices. The decor is beautiful with.comfortable seating and the staff are very friendly with a very welcoming attitude. My only negative comment is that theyre not open enough lol

Love this restaurant!

Good food but I already had better dishes when they first opened. The big problem in my opinion is the cleanliness and the toilets that no door closes due to the lack of a handle. The benches are rubbish, a wooden wall covered between me and the other table. If someone has the trunk sit up straight, you feel it move and it doesnt hold. The food is good but I find that for $50 for 1 person its starting to get expensive. There is no extra coffee. I couldnt believe how dirty the place was, I was afraid that my guests would want to leave when we arrived.

Excellent food. A must!

The food tastes very bland and theres so much sugar added into salty foods such as Shahi Paneer. The palak paneer is not even blended. Its just leaves with onions sautéed.

Great food friendly staff and reasonable delivery times. Amazing chicken korma.

Our favorite restaurant.

It was really good! Great experience!

Best Indian food ever!

I loved my experience at Lal Kelly Tandoori! The service is excellent and the food is excellent. The portions are generous and the flavors are there. The atmosphere and decor are pleasant. I will return there very soon.

Wow Superb Indian restaurant we celebrated my partners birthday as a couple and we loved it..and what can I say about the service, it was incredibly courteous!!!

My favorite Indian cuisine restaurant! Before, we went to Montreal to a famous restaurant (we tried many others too, elsewhere in Quebec and even in Nova Scotia), but now, we see no reason to hit the bridge. Lal Kella offers excellent cuisine, well prepared and well presented. The staff is courteous and very attentive. The atmosphere is pleasant. I feel very lucky that he is in my area.

Excellent experience at this restaurant. Weve eaten there several times and were never disappointed. Excellent price and the dishes are as spicy as possible.

Very good Indian restaurant!!!!

Excellent meal Fast service Reasonable price/ Great food Fast service Good price

The food isnt great but the customer service is impeccable, keep going guys

Our favorite Indian restaurant! Always on top.

Bland dishes and few pieces!!!

Super good! Plus it s a BYOB! The Chicken Korma is to die for. We also really like taking out. Good value for money.

Great food. Good portions.

Best indian food ive ever had

This beautifully decorated restaurant was one of the most beautiful culinary discoveries of my life. I have never been tempted to try a new dish...but all the dishes I have tried have been most delicious. I recommend the dish for 2 people (which easily makes 4 plates of a little bit of everything) to taste and then the beef bhona or butter chicken which are just as excellent. Enjoy!!!

Love this place. I lived in the UK for many years and have had some wonderful Indian food. We try to get back to Lal Kella every time we re in town. Beef josh is my go-to menu item, and nan is always super fresh. Bring your own wine/beer

Four of us went for dinner Friday evening at 6 p.m. to celebrate the birthday of our friend, who loved this restaurant. The welcome given was pleasant. However, we were unfortunately disappointed afterwards because of the slowness of the service (perhaps due to the lack of staff), but also because of the absence of the lentil chips usually offered as a starter with the trio of small sauces, which were forgotten and not served. After the soup and quite a long time, our dishes were finally served to us around 7:30 p.m. But there was no stove placed on the table below the dishes like before. The dishes, which were still good, were lukewarm, except for the tandori chicken served on a heated grill in the oven. Our already disappointing experience was spoiled when the waitress made the unnecessary and unpleasant comment saying that coffee is not free at Tim Hortons, when my friend had kindly asked her, to inquire, if coffee was included with our dessert included menu. Then, after waiting a long time for the bill which obviously did not arrive at our table, I went to pay at the cash register. The waitress gave me a bill for almost $200 which absolutely did not match what we ate. I had to ask him to check the invoice. I then told him of our disappointment, and especially that of our friend at his 75th birthday dinner which was ruined by his inappropriate comment for a simple coffee requested by his partner, who felt insulted and hurt. This one coffee was ultimately not charged......but at what price???

The bomb!

For a second time at this restaurant! Still as good :) The food is quality And great service :) I will return there in exception

Food is great, service is great. Ive been going here for years and have never been disappointed. Prices are quite reasonable. Theyre is no hesitation for me to go back or to refer other people to go. Definitely worth the detour for authentic Indian cuisine! 5 stars every time!

Very good restaurant. Fast service and the food is tasty. Best restaurant in Châteauguay. Authentic cuisine and affordable prices.

Very good Indian cuisine restaurant. Such an authentic restaurant would be all the rage on the Mont Royal plateau. We are lucky to have such a (little-known) restaurant in Châteauguay. Must try!

Fantastic service : everyone is nice, food is served in a timely manner, but the taste of my butter chicken was not good at all !

Super

Very good and excellent service!

We just moved to the neighborhood and this place is about to become a staple for us!

Best Indian restaurant in the region

Very good value for money the food is very fresh

Nice greeter. Good service. Peas pulao rice oily. Undercooked. Bergen bharta not very attractive or tasty. My friend said dal was great. Mango lassi she also really liked. Quite expensive for what I got. . Realy nice decor.

Gone multiple times. Love it.

Tasty, delicious and good ambiance we will definitively be back

We were delighted with our dinner at this restaurant, excellent food and service. We will come back for sure and whats more, they deliver!

This is the second time I went there and it was the same as the first time, that is to say extraordinary culinary point of view. The family staff who work there are on top of their business and give us good advice for an Indian culinary experience at its best. The only downside was that the Quebecois staff who worked there that evening didnt smile much and seemed to be in a hurry to see us leave. The waitress asked us if we wanted to take our dessert home!! However, the owner family makes up for this little inconvenience. I recommend this place and cant wait to return.

This evening we , five of us , had a memorable dinner ! The dishes were cooked with extraordinary care and were genuine blend of finest Indian cuisine . Among us was Shahid Hamid who is one of the most renowned hoteliers of Bangladesh who is in hotel management for last forty-four years .Shahid is at present PATA Bangladesh chapter Chairman. I thank the owner and the management of the Lal Kella Restaurant for running the business in this splendid fashion .I wish them all the best .

Very good and excellent service

Amazing your food like spicy lamb curry and garlic naan

It was really good! The best Indian restaurant on the South Shore!

Big portions, delicious food, always accommodates the meals i like for my vegetarian diet. Super friendly people!

The eggplant was simply the best! The tandoori chicken too. My shrimp was slightly chewy. The staff is very friendly and you can BYOW.

Excellent food, beautiful varied menu, beautiful dining room but above all excellent service. Our server gave us very good advice. He was friendly, funny and knew his menu. Were definitely going back!!!

Good food and great service

Friendly staff and good service. The food is always delicious. The Chicken Korma is heaven.

One of the best restaurants in Montreal

Very good from start to finish of the meal

Flavor on point! Delicious and good service!

Very good service, good portion, excellent

Great good and pleasant server

Very friendly and welcoming staff

Its a restaurant where we go with pleasure, as a family. The dishes are full of flavors and the service is very pleasant! We are regulars!

Good restaurant

We like to go there for lunch with colleagues. Quality products and courteous service.

Very good authentic and delicious dishes!

We ordered and had it delivered to the house. The service was quick and efficient. The delivery man was very friendly. The food was hot and excellent. The portions are generous and the combo for 2 is very diverse. It was the first time I ordered from this restaurant and I will do it again. I highly recommend it. THANKS.

I read good comments, unfortunately it was not a great experience with this delivery :( The Vegetable Samosas and Pakoras were really cold, and after reheating them, were bland with no taste. The Lamb Korma, the coconut was WAY too present, we had to throw the dish away... the impression of coconut cake in the mouth, it was unfortunately not edible. The butter chicken wasnt bad... except... we didnt order that at all! Maybe a mistake with the naan bread that we didnt receive. The ordered Saag Paneer became a Saag Aloo. Pretty good though. I didnt give 1 star because the delivery man was friendly despite waiting 1 hour and 40 minutes. Mistakes happen, but for us there were too many when we couldnt wait to eat their cuisine. A big $80 badly invested.

One of the best Indian cuisine restaurants in Montreal-South Shore!

Awesome restaurant, awesome staff , fair prices and fantastic food. Totally recommended

One of the best restaurants around. The food is amazing and the service and atmosphere is perfect. Now during COVID times, the take out is just as amazing.

Delicious Indian cuisine (especially the chicken korma!) and consistent quality for several years. Restaurant run by an adorable and authentic family. My favorite restaurant in Châteauguay definitely!

Still excellent!!! Best Indian restaurant in the area, I recommend it to everyone :)

Our first visit and it certainly wont be our last! We ordered the Meal For 4 for take-out. A tremendous variety of dishes served in large containers. Delicious! Looking forward to todays left-overs! Less than $25 per person. :)

Best Indian restaurant without a doubt! Everything is so tasty. My family and I tried several dishes and we all loved them! In addition, the service is impeccable!

Always excellent!!!!

Best vindaloo ever

Excellent food! Always well received!

Excellent Indian restaurant the meal for 2 is excellent and I appreciated that they changed a dish that I liked less on the second order I highly recommend you would not be disappointed very welcoming staff reasonable price and generous portion we love it! !!

The good and very good service plus its taking your wine

Love this place! Best luxury - hot plates to keep meals warm

Its one of my favorite restaurants I even went for my 50th birthday

Simply delicious, and great service. Authentic Indian Specialty .

After trying a few, this is the best restaurant of its kind in the greater Montreal area! Key elements: the freshness of the food, the friendly and courteous service and the ambient music (!)

Amazing supper and Amazing supper

Very good food and good service

Best Indian restaurant ever!!!

Went with a large group. Service was very good and we were not felt rushed at all. The food is delicious and prepared well. We will be back soon.

Went there several times and never got disappointed. Nice location with lot of private parking. Staff is very friendly. Neat and clean place with soft classic Indian music in the background. Like always this time as well, food is amazingly delicious. Ordered Lamb Rogan josh and it was cooked perfectly. Naan-breads were pretty freshly baked and roasted well. Rice looks and taste amazing. Always love to have mango lassi as a drink. Must visit place.

Good surprise! We were very well served.

Such a warm welcome, very good food and a very pleasant place.

A little birthday dinner during the week that surprised me. Menu for 2. Very good. Warm atmosphere with beautiful music.

Really good!!!

Nice restaurant. The employees are very kind, helpful and warm. They explain the menu for those who are not familiar with Indian dishes. The food is excellent. Everything is fresh, hot and tasty. The price is reasonable considering that they are large portions. To try if you like typical Indian dishes, or if you want to try something new.

Exceptional. Best restaurant in Chateauguay and the area. Bring your wine and lots of flavors, the perfect match! Very low price!

food and staff are absolutely amazing. a must.

The food is excellent and very good service..

Tasty!!! Tender!!! We chose a meal for 4 people and there was still some left. My 3 and 4 year old children loved it. Dont forget to bring your wine or beer..

fan-tas-tic!!

Great food, friendly service. We had a party of 8 which became a party of 13 they accommodated us easily. Will go again if Im in town.

We got the 3 person meal and the food was amazing. The service and ambiance was very nice. We loved the place and we will definitely go back for more!

Really very good and different!! Thank you so much !

Love their butter chicken!

Best Indian food ever. I ve tried so many dishes and I love every single one. Service is great. Best restaurant in Chateauguay imo.

Nice food and reasonable prices.

Impressive how the outdoor does not reflect how great is the inside: hight celling, clean place, warm color. And the food is very good! Staff is friendly, and prices too.

Very nice experience!! Beautiful setting, good food and welcoming staff. I will leave without hesitation!

Quality and delicious food.

Very good butter chicken and really inexpensive!

Very friendly restaurant staff. Good value for money for the food. Some benches deserve to be changed. But Im going back

Great food and ambiance but a tad expensive.

Exceptional service, tasty food. Couldnt ask for more!

I must say, this place is a small family run GEM ! We I last went we were 4 and so we took the taste menu for 4 and OMgoodness ! Really good! The quality was their for a family run restaurant, however it was true to its authentic taste and feel. I loved it such, that having just recently operated and more house bound than normal they do take out !!! I have ordered 3 times in so many weeks since I found out they deliver. What else to say, feel, quality, quantity, taste are all more than expected and great !

Fresh and delicious at a good price.

Excellent service, very good taste and plaisen place. The combo for 3 was huge ,the food was delicious with fragrant spices I will come back.

Tasty food, friendly hosts

Probably the best Indian dishes I have ever eaten! I highly recommend!

Good value for money and attentive service.

Food is amazing, restaurant is beautiful, great service, attentive and professional wait staff, and great presentation. Portions sizes are very generous, and for the amount and quality of food the prices are fair. Menu is diverse and varied, cant wait to return and try more of what they have to offer.

You wouldnt suspect that the best Indian restaurant in Quebec is in Chateauguay. A particular favorite for chicken passanda, chicken korma, tika massala and tandoori chicken. But everything is good! P.s the dal soup is to die for.

I loved my experience. This was a first for me and the staff were very patient and attentive to us. Thank you for the beautiful evening!

Great experience. Very kind and very welcoming people.

Great food, great place !!! I would recommend this restaurant to all !!!

Staff was nice and efficient, the food was okay, we had the butter chicken, the naan bread was pretty good as well as the chicken itself, im not sure about the butter chicken sauce though, it tasted a lot like tomato

The worst Indian restaurant I have ever tried. The samosa tasted...absolutely nothing. And both dishes to try (suggested by the waiter) lacked even more taste besides being grainy. When we eat Indian cuisine we want to find taste, and lots of flavors, to awaken our taste buds and amaze them. Seriously, it was TOO expensive to pay for SO little. Plus they charge us for a container when we want a doggy bin. Usually I make the detour to St-Hubert to enjoy a good Indian restaurant and I will obviously make this detour again and insist those around me to do the same.

Delicious food, definitely worth the detour! We shared the table dhôtes with 4, it was delicious!!

Always so good and such nice staff
