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.
Great restaurant with very homely vibe. The food reminds home. Service was great. We ordered Paranthas & Chole Halwa. Chai is the best. I go here every weekend! 💙
Forgot to take the picture of thee biryani cuz it was so yummy but this fresh shakr paratha stole my heart even though I was full I wanted to eat more. It was that delicious!!
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.
Loved their mango lassi, I almost emptied their fridge from this drink. It was perfect. Their samosas were delicious too, but what really impressed me is how exquisite the smell was. Maybe it was the sauce that came with it, it really added to the whole experience. Even the chicken rice was very fragrant & just as delicious. A friend recommended this place & I'm very happy to have discovered it. They even gave us a sweet flat bread at the end of our meal, on the house.
We are here for a visit & came to have our breakfast. Had halwa puri, chai. Aaloo paratha & Kashmiri chai. I would say the food & service was superb & would highly recommend the food. The owner was very nice & friendly. Highly recommended. 10/10

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!
What an amazing small nook. The food is absolutely amazing, it's fresh & served piping hot. Loved the chai & the whole atmosphere. Have to try the aloo(potato) paratha it is absolutely divine.
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)
