Sandhu

Très bonne surprise. On a commandé un peu sur un coup de tête à 22h, les plats étaient tous très bons et vraiment copieux, surtout le combo végétarien. Tout est arrivé chaud et le livreur a été poli. Le seul bémol, la commande a mis une heure à arriver… mais ça né nous empêchera pas de recommander (en nous y prenant un peu en avance)!

Good food. We (used to) order for delivery weekly. The first time we ordered the $ 15 Butter Chicken dish we received a large bowl of sauce with 6 or 7 small cubes of chicken. Disappointing! We gave Sandhu the benefit of the doubt and a few months later, with guests for dinner, ordered the Butter Chicken again and got the same bowl of sauce with hardly any chicken. Hey Sandhu, I can buy an entire BBQ chicken for less than $ 10.
Before turning to Unilocal to whine about my first world problems, I wrote a polite email to Sandhu about this issue but have received no reply.
Recap: Really good food, very stingy quantities of Butter Chicken. I’m tempted to give only 2 stars for their lack of response to my email but I’m correcting for my overall grumpiness this morning.

I’ve ordered from here twice on
and had good experiences both times. The spaghetti with meat sauce is great and so was the chicken parmesan. The Caesar salad wasn’t good and when I had ordered «regular spaghetti» it came with meat sauce (I didn’t mind, it was good, it just wasn’t what I ordered). The delivery arrived fast and hot both times and they were generous with the extra grated cheese on the side that I asked for.

I placed an order online, paid in full including 15% tips only to be completely disappointed. The order was never delivered. I waited more than an hour and 16 mins at which time I gave up and called to cancel. It was my first time but now after this bad experience, I have decided to take my business elsewhere.

Super bouffe indienne qu’on a commandé un samedi soir à 23h30… On avait une fringale de bonne bouffe goûteuse. Nous avons pris le poulet madras et poulet au cari et d’emblée chaque assiette (le poulet dans sa sauce) vient avec une bonne portion de riz, succulent. Aussi, un sac de 4 Naan délicieux était inclu.
Bref, délicieuse cuisine indienne si vous vivez sur le plateau, gênez-​vous pas d’y commander! 35,72 $ pour tout ça.

Very nice restaurant, food is tasty, tried: chicken butter, chicken massala and chicken madras, they are all delicious. Food is delivered very quickly. If you like indian food and not expensive (40 $) for two persons.

Petit resto situé juste en face de chez moi; j’étais avec un ami et on avait envie de pâte, ça semblait être le bon moment pour essayer le Sandhu. Pour commencer, les plats sont plus abordables que ce que l’on pensait (ça commence à 11 $ pour une énorme portion!), avec un menu de restaurant italien classique, sauf pour ce qui est de la partie «indienne» du menu, ça j’ai toujours pas compris. On s’est partagé des pennes sauce rosée et une pizza aux saucisses italiennes, les plats étaient très bons mais rien d’exceptionnel qui me ferait choisir ce resto au lieu d’un autre. La serveuse était gentille mais n’avait pas l’air d’avoir trop d’expérience; on nous a demandé 2 fois durant le souper si on avait terminé nos assiettes, alors qu’on né faisait que prendre notre temps et jaser entre nos bouchées (!), et elle a renversé du vin sur notre table (!!). Aussi, dans la toilettes des filles, il y a une porte coulissante qui mèné à la cuisine (j’ai pas plus d’explications, mais ça m’a troublé haha!). L’espace de salle à manger est joli, belle petite ambiance. J’y retournerais si j’avais une fringale de pâtes ou de pizzas mais que je suis trop paresseuse pour marcher jusqu’à un des nombreux autres restos italiens établis 2 minutes plus loin sur Mont-​Royal.

Sandhu is situated on Papineau and Mont-​Royal just to the right of La Tulipe. This neighborhood has a very busy nightlife with restaurants, bars, cabarets and nightclubs scattered all around the place. Sandhu is not expensive at all (surely if you compare it to other Italian restaurants in general and other restaurants in Plateau-​Mont Royal area in particular). It is the BEST value for money restaurant in the whole Plateau-​Mont Royal neighborhood. It isn’t a BYOB restaurant but we didn’t order wine and ended up paying around $ 50 for two persons (entrée, main dish and dessert for one with two spoons :-) tips and taxes included)
The front façade of this restaurant is all glass so I’d recommend getting a table near it. It’s basically if you were eating on a side-​walk but were isolated from all the noise, dust and exhaust emissions. Their dining-​hall is pretty big and you don’t get the crampy feeling that you get in most of these Plateau restaurants (real-​estate is at a premium in this area).
Our waitress was very nice and cheerful and the service in general was very efficient. I chose a soup as entrée while my friend went for their hot garlic bread with cheese. For the main course I went for stuffed veal escalope with sauteed vegetables while my friend ordered a 4-​fromaggi pizza. Both of these items were very delicious. The pizza was of a very good size and my veal portion was huge. With all our soup and garlic bread entrée already inside us, we weren’t able to finish the main course.
For dessert, there was Tiramisu which was excellent and then espresso to finish the dinner.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the bill which was below my expectations for what we had ordered (this resulted in a hefty tip for the waitress hehe). A very good experience. If you’re in the neighborhood give this restaurant a try, you won’t be disappointed (don’t forget to make a reservation though).
