I try to eat here every time I'm in town! I don't know what all is in the lentil soup, but I'm totally addicted to it. I find it equally satisfying in January or July. And the momos--we usually get an assorted platter--are superb. The atmosphere at Shambala is lovely--I'm always looking at the art and admiring the fabrics. While I do find the service slow, I could say that about nearly every Montreal restaurant I've been to--so it's probably a visiting New Yorker's impatience, at least in part. It can be very busy--visit at off-peak times for a better experience. Regardless, this is a great place to warm yourself up this winter. Come here with friends, or a sweetheart, for a well-priced, low-key comfort dinner. Try the momos.
