Perfect spot for a group meal. We were 10 people & they accommodated us beautifully. If you're in Montreal & want authentic, homemade parathas in a warm environment, this is it.

My friend recommended this place & I'm so glad they did. It's exactly the kind of restaurant you hear about through word of mouth because people actually care enough to share it. The parathas are made fresh, the chai is perfect, & the hospitality is the real highlight. These are the places that deserve your support. Loved it.

Chai Paratha is the real deal. Went with 9 other family members including my grandparents & cousins who are 11 & 13, & every single person left happy. The parathas are fresh, the chai is exceptional, & the owners genuinely make you feel like family.

They remembered us from our previous visit which meant a lot. My grandparents absolutely loved the chai & parathas, & the kids went crazy for the Nutella paratha.

We've been thrice now & the experience is consistently amazing. Whether you're ordering sweet parathas or the classic savoury ones, you can't go wrong.

This is a family-run spot that actually cares about their customers. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Montreal.

We decided very last minute for food at their restaurant & they were closing but they did not turn us away! Instead they welcomed us inside & served us & waited till we finished. We went with kids so you can imagine the speed we had...regarding food, i felt like im eating at home, so authentic, flavorful & delicious. We tried Nehari, Sarso ka saag, alu paratha, cheese paratha, gobi paratha. Everything was soo yummy!

Wow.

So i went with my family & we ordered halwa puri plate, lacha pratha & chai, & alu paratha. We absolutely loved it. Chai was the best of it all because while everyone serves the instant packet chai, they make it fresh for customers. We are very happy we found this place. A nice small gem. I can easily say that this is real home made parathas & puri.

I absolutely recommend.

The location is small but the food was amazing. I had the butter chicken, nihari, & the aloo paratha & I truly enjoyed everything. The parantha was not overly greasy or heavy. Definitely recommend checking it out.
