During my 3-day trip to Montreal from Oshawa, I visited Desi Tadka Restaurant twice for breakfast because the food was simply outstanding!

We tried the Halwa Puri, Naan Chanay, Nihari, Anda Paratha, & Lassi, & every single dish was fresh, authentic, & full of amazing flavor. It truly felt like homemade Pakistani breakfast.

The service was just as impressive, friendly, welcoming, & attentive. The staff made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in.

I highly recommend Desi Tadka to anyone looking for delicious, authentic desi food in Montreal. I will definitely be coming back every time I visit Montreal. Keep up the excellent work!

Very good choice of desi delights that brings back memories of homeland. Sesame naan were awesome. Wouldn't recommend getting their parathas though. Spice levels just appropriate. Would definitely like to visit again.

C'est très bon! Mais avec le poulet frit, j'ai reçu une sauce vinaigrette au lieu d'une sauce BBQ comme sur la photo du menu.
Ma cousine a pris le naan kebab au poulet & elle a trouvé ça délicieux. Ne soyez pas trop pressé, le service est un peu lent.
