We went as a huge group of 15 people & the staff was very accommodative. They made some customers move to accomodate us. Food was exellent & well cooked. Portions size is good & pricing is appropriate. Chai (tea) is served in unique earthen pots called (kullad). Will be going there soon enough for another round of Halva Paratha & Chole deal.

I felt ripped off. We paid almost $40 just for two chai, two aalo paratha & two lacha paratha with anda piyaz (eggs) while ate chicken meal combos for way less price at other restaurants in the neighbourhood.

I visited this place due to hype on social media but will go elsewhere for breakfast on my next visit.

Paratha was good but can have a lil bit of salt in it. Chai on other hand was amazing. Just need to provide complimentaries already with the dish like Pickle. Other wise it was amazing. Would definitely go again.

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Chai Paratha for some authentic chai & paratha-& wow, my taste buds were in heaven! The chai was brewed to perfection-rich, aromatic, & so comforting. & the paratha? Flaky, buttery, & absolutely delicious. It genuinely felt like a warm taste of home. The vibe was cozy & welcoming, & the staff were friendly & attentive. If you're craving real Pakistani flavors made with love, Chai Paratha is the place to be. I'll definitely be back!

There was no butter with paratha ( parathas with no butter - are you for real)??
The paratha could be better (had too much sukha dhaniya & the chicken paratha was worse) & the self service just put off my mood !! While you are eating, u have to get up & get food!!
There was no sugar on my table for tea & yet again I had to get up to ask sugar!!
When asked for butter , she said we dont have butter!!! I mean I was shocked!! & then i asked for pickle, thats when she gave pickle to me!!
I mean give accompaniments with paratha only!!!
Everything we had to ask for!!
Its too pricey for the food & service!!!
I wouldnt recommend this place for indian people definitely!!!
Go to Punjab canteen instead :)

A small place in downtown Montreal that serves some of the best desi parathas. Their chai is also very tasty & feels like the tea you'd get at home. Highly recommend coming here for some parathas & chai (Ginger Chai)
