This little family owned business is a hidden gem! Such a great vibe that evokes nostalgia. This was a first for us that could take us close to home cuisine. I definitely recommend the weekend specials, Lahori Nehari, Halwa Puri & Chana Masala. The sugar paratha is not to miss.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

We recently visited Chai Paratha in downtown Montreal with our kids, & honestly, it felt more like visiting family than going to a restaurant. ❤?

We ordered aloo paratha, normal paratha, karak chai, & sabz chai - everything was absolutely delicious. The best part for us was that the food had a very mild spice level, which made our kids enjoy every bite without any complaints. Usually spicy food upsets kids, but this time they loved it so much!

The atmosphere was peaceful, clean, & felt very high-end. You can clearly see they have zero tolerance for hygiene issues - everything was neat, organized, & perfectly maintained.

What truly touched our hearts was the kindness & honesty of the staff. My wife accidentally forgot her purse in the restaurant, & when we called them, they were extremely cooperative & respectful. We got the purse back safely, & they handled everything with such care & professionalism.

I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Muhammad Asim Bajwa. Such a humble, hardworking, & kind-hearted person. While talking to him, you could genuinely feel his love & respect for people. He even called my wife his daughter - that level of warmth & care is very rare these days.

This place did not feel like just a restaurant… it truly felt like home.

May God bless him, his family, & his business with more success & happiness.

100% recommended place in Montreal for families, tea lovers, & anyone looking for delicious food with genuine hospitality. 🌟

Sorry, I don't have a picture of my meal. I had Chicken Paratha combo that came with 2 chicken Paratha & a cup of chai I picked Masala chai. First of all, delicious Parathas highly recommend. When the food came out It was piping hot.& the chai OMG I need a bigger cup of that chai it was that good. If I'm in the area & not hungry, I would just walk in there for a cup of chai. I can't wait to go back & try their chicken Biryani & pretty much everything they have on their menu. I hope you keep it up with good service & delicious food out of that kitchen.

I am from Toronto & visiting Montreal over the weekend. The trip was amazing until I decided to eat Halwa Puri at Chai Paratha as it was eventually the closest from where I was living. I placed order over the phone & they said it will take 15 mints. I came after 15 mints the order was not ready. I had to wait 30 more minutes & when I said in Urdu
* I have placed order for halwa puri not Payay.. that you are taking so long*
The woman on counter was extremely rude & said this is restaurant not your home*

I was literally pissed off & she wouldn't say sorry.
When I said I am not gonna eat & I am leaving then just to save her order she apologized.

The waiting time was excessive for simple items.
Even after waiting, the order was incorrect.
Staff didn't handle the mistake professionally.
Atmosphere didn't feel welcoming.
Overall, quite frustrating.

The chai was one of the worst I've had.
It lacked the rich flavor you'd expect.
Paratha was greasy & heavy.
I felt uncomfortable after eating it.
Definitely not going back.
