Devi Indian Restaurant and Lounge on Crescent

Our waitress called it:  “Crescent Streets Best kept secret” and she probably is right. I accidentally went in this Indian restaurant for dinner on Saturday and although I am still suffering from the consequences of the  spices, this place was amazing. I have been to some typical “ghetto” Indian couple of times but this restaurant is nothing like that. The attention to detail in this joint is surprising, both from a menu and decor perspectives. The ambiance is borderline mystical, with colors, lanterns, wooden beams and great loungey “BuddhaBar” style music. The food was pretty much your typical Indian meal but the presentation was very interesting, with modern versions of the metal plates and cups you would typically see in India or any hardcore Indian restaurant in Montreal. Overall the experience was great and so was the service, however if you are just hungry and are craving Indian food, there are lots of alternatives in the city that offer the same food for the fraction of the price but if you are looking for a different dining experience, Devi is definitely worth a shot.

My bill:  about 130$, tip and a bottle of wine included.
