The chai was a little milky but the paratha & Chappell kabob were amazing! It's real authentic Pakistani food!

Visited Chai Paratha over last weekend after hearing about food taste here from a couple of friend so i literally drove from CT-USA to Montreal to take stop for food & it was surely worth it.
Ordered anda paratha, aaloo paratha & saag. If you are from Pakistan & know the authenticity of taste of Punjab (lahore), you will surely enjoy the food. Food taste was nostalgic.
Above all the owner (aunty) was super nice. Had a quick talk to her & she was super nice & sweet & even helped me find Pakistani mangoes in Montreal since I was visiting only for a few hours & wanted to quickly buy mangoes.
If i ever end up going to montreal, this is surely going to be my place to stop by for food.

We were craving authentic Pakistani food & this place fulfilled our cravings perfectly. It was all fresh & homemade, amazing attention to detail. I felt warm after leaving this place. Warm inside with the amazing food, out of this world paratha/puri & chai. Even the decoration inside was visually pleasing & all the small trinkets to the umbrellas in the ceiling show a lot of love was put into creating this place.
Lahore beef nihari 10/10
Puris & parathas 10/10
Service, kindness & homie feeling 10/10

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting this remarkable place for a late breakfast & lunch. The chai was rich, perfectly brewed, & carried the authentic Pakistani karak flavour, with just the right balance of sweetness. The chicken paratha was fresh, delicately flaky, & generously filled with tender, well seasoned chicken that complemented the tea beautifully. Together, they evoked the warm, homely essence of a traditional Pakistani breakfast. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking an authentic & satisfying desi culinary experience.
