A prime Montreal go-to for succulent Greek gyro meats served on platters or in pitas. The subs and Greek-leaning pizzas are serviceable, too, though not the main draw.

Despite its name, Malhi Sweets focuses on the savoury side of dining — expect staples like biryani, korma, and vindaloo. It’s also known for its famous clientele (French actress Catherine Deneuve and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are both featured on its Facebook).

This family-run Greek restaurant hasn’t changed much over almost three decades, and that’s a large part of the appeal. Dig into giant platters of souvlaki and plenty of Greek wine will wash it all down.

This Greek institution has been a mainstay in the community since 1976, where on typical evenings, it would draw crowds out the door. Nowadays, takeout keeps flowing, and so does delivery with UberEats, for which calamari, souvlaki, and other iterations of grilled meat are packed to go.

Boasting three locations across town, including this one in Parc-Ex, Rotisserie Panama has all the trappings needed for a weekend (or weeknight) takeout splurge. When in doubt, one can’t go wrong with the mixed grill platter (to feed a few) and some fried calamari to start, with its selection of dips — tirokafteri (red pepper and feta), skordalia (potato garlic), and of course, tzatziki — making worthy add-ons.

Chand Palace and the following two options on this list are within mere steps of each other, and the queues they each generate for their North Indian curries tend to be equally matched. They deliver for those within a 5 km radius — call them.

As the name suggests, Indian curries are the house specialty here, and their reasonably priced thali plates go for around $10. They also offer a selection of dosa, thin, rice flour pancakes served with chutney and other condiments.

This Jean-Talon favourite prepares staples from bhaji to butter chicken and everything in between. Go for the lunch specials, most of which fall under $10 for plates of curry, tikka, and kebab.
