Chai Paratha is viewed as a warm, small eatery that serves authentic Pakistani and Lahori style parathas, chai, and breakfast favorites. Reviewers praise flaky parathas such as aloo paratha, chicken paratha, and lacha paratha, the halwa puri combo, and the kadak or karak chai that tastes homemade. The atmosphere and service are repeatedly described as friendly and homely, with many noting a welcoming, family run vibe. A few criticisms touch on price for portions, occasional oiliness in items like samosas, limited seating, and some inconsistent service experiences. Overall the consensus is that Chai Paratha delivers authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, and a comforting brunch or breakfast that makes customers want to return.
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.

One of the best stuffed parathas I've eaten outside home, & easily the best in Montreal!! I had heard rave reviews about it from friends for about two years now & finally had the opportunity to visit.
Not only is the food is fresh & served piping hot, it's also well-priced. Service was wonderful as well. I ordered the aloo paratha combo -thinking I would eat one paratha & pack the second one so I can sip on my chai. I ended up eating both parathas & leaving with a full heart.
I'm hoping to go back soon with friends & family (multiple trips)!
Came here to try out the karak chai & uncle ji blessed us with some sweet paratha also. Very rare to find some good desi chai &/or desi snack type spots in montreal. Overall I must say it's a great business with a very good menu. Uncle Bajwa is amazing, will definitely return to try all the other great things on their menu.
I had such a great experience at Chai Paratha Montreal! The ambiance instantly gave me full desi café vibes - the colourful décor, the hanging plants, the wooden crates, & those traditional kulhad cups made it feel so authentic & cozy.
We ordered their Alloo & paneer parathas, & honestly… SO good! Fresh, flavourful, crispy, & served with butter that just melts perfectly - pura ghar-wala taste 😍.
The place is super aesthetic too, perfect for pictures with the neon sign & warm lighting. Staff was friendly, service was good, & the vibes were immaculate.

This food in this place is stunning; I had the butter chicken & the cauliflower-stuffed paratha & both were so delicious that I vowed to return the very next day & that is where I'm planning on eating lunch later today. The butter chicken was served with the most incredible silky & spiced sauce & the cauliflower stuffed paratha was so DELICIOUS & spicy. If I lived near this place, I would want to eat there several times a week.
I ordered Chicken Paratha, Aloo Paratha, Gobhi Paratha, Kadak Chai, Kashmiri Chai, & Gajar Halwa - & everything was just awesome! The food was fresh, flavorful, & perfectly made. The parathas were stuffed generously, the chai was aromatic, & the gajar halwa was the perfect sweet ending. On top of that, the owner was extremely humble & spoke so nicely, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!

✨ Today we visited chai prantha during our 4-day trip to Montreal, & honestly, this was the best part of our trip! The parathas were absolutely delicious, & the kadak chai was just perfect - I have no words! The vibe was amazing, & the owners, Uncle Asim & Aunty Sabiha, were so warm & polite. They made us feel completely at home. Such a heartwarming experience! ❤?Highly recommend this place.
Aloo Paratha was made fresh to order & deliciously flavourful.... & spicy. While I absolutely love chai, I don't believe I've had Karak chai before & found this style more on the bitter side.
The restaurant is small & can maybe fit about 20-25 people in total.
The only turn off about this visit was that you could hear all the noises coming from the bathroom & the owner decided to do some drilling work during business hours & while diners were enjoying their dinner. A little unprofessional in my opinion. The repairs didn't appear urgent
We ordered two combos - Aloo (potato) paratha & Gobi (cauliflower) paratha - each served with yogurt & Karak Chai. The service was courteous & quick, & the food was absolutely delicious with an authentic Lahori taste & flavor. Every bite reminded us of traditional home-style cooking.
A must-visit spot in Downtown Montreal for anyone craving genuine Lahori-style parathas & chai. Highly recommended!

We ordered Alu paratha & paneer parantha combo with ginger chai, parathas & chai both were very tasty. But quantity of raita with paratha was not enough also had to order pickle & butter on side. I also ask for warm water which they refuse to warm for us & instead offer me water bottle which was obviously not warm at all.
I visited Chai paratha on a Montreal trip last month. This place was a must try on my to do list & I must say, it didn't disappoint! I loved the beautiful, cultural interiors & the food was finger licking good. As others mentioned in their reviews, we felt at home there as the owners who are a sweet couple chatted with us & gave us recommendations from the menu. The chai was amazing, the aloo parathas was flavirful & soft & the best part is, everything was so reasonable. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Montreal & who would wanted to have an authentic & delicious brunch!
I just visited chai paratha restaurant, the food over there is always Fresh & yummy. The owner is very polite & elegant. Very good place & people. Allah pak bless them more.Ameen.
