What a fantastic place to enjoy parathas! We had the best brunch here ordered gobi, aloo, & chicken parathas, along with halwa puri. Everything was absolutely amazing & delicious. Highly recommend this place. Kudos to the chef & the wonderful staff
Yaar yesterday I ordered this it was good I have been very sick for a week or two & this was only food I was gonna eat all day I ordered the sugar paratha & their is no sugar inside of it so it was just normal paratha & I had no raita at home to eat it with so it was so bad I didint like this experience I wanted what I paid for, ridiculous
We visited this place on a Saturday for breakfast with a group of 15 family members including kids & the first thing we noticed was this establishment was packed with customers & not enough seats were available for us but to make our experience excellent, the owner(behind cash counter) requested other customers & made some seat movements so our family could have a cozy corner table with heated sofa. The WOW breakfast experience started right from the moment we entered this establishment & then came our food (Halwa Puris, butter chicken, aloo parathas, Nutella parathas, karak chai, puris) every single order was exceptionally tasty & delicious. What a gem of a restaurant right in heart of downtown Montreal. This place is a must visit not only for their delicious food but warm & welcoming customer service which was top notch & second to none.
Visited this place for the first & definitely last time. Ordered an Aloo Paratha, Halwa Puri, & the Anda Pyaz deal. The food itself was nothing special, barely average & absolutely not worth the hype or the price.
The real disaster was the wait time: over one full hour just to receive the first Halwa Puri, followed by another 20 minutes for the rest of the order. Completely unacceptable.
On top of that, the place is tiny, cramped, & extremely congested. There's barely any space to stand, let alone sit comfortably. If you have kids, don't even think about it, it's chaotic & uncomfortable.
Overall, poor service, long waits, average food, & a terrible dining environment. Plenty of better options elsewhere. Save yourself the frustration & skip this place entirely.
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
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)!
