Desi Tadka earns praise for authentic Desi flavors, with many calling it the best Desi food in town and noting generous portions of dishes like butter chicken, naan, halwa puri, and paye. The dining experience is described as warm and welcoming, with friendly staff and a homey vibe, though the interior can feel small and cramped. Takeout and dine in experiences are solid, with fresh ingredients and good value, and favorites include biryani, kebabs, chicken tikka rolls, gol gappey, and nihari, even though some kebabs and certain biryani varieties are decent rather than mind blowing. Overall the place is seen as an underrated gem offering flavorful meals at fair prices and a welcoming atmosphere, making Desi Tadka a go to spot for authentic Pakistani flavors in Montreal.
The garlic naan is soooo good. Ate that naan with butter chicken & definitely hit the spot. What i love about this place is the amount drinks they have. They have so many options its hard to choose.
One of the best service that l had, the owner was friendly & l was so impressed with the tasty food by a great chef, l would recommend new clients to visit & experience their delicious cuisine, don't hesitate to go, a must!!!
Went in looking for the 6.00 Naan Roll takeout only Monday to Friday as advertised in the front. He asked my what type to chose from. Chicken, chicken Tikka or beef. I chose chicken Tikka. Turned out it was 8 dollars & when I questioned it, he said I gave you the choice & that's what you picked & it cost extra. So the chicken Tikka one is 2 dollars extra just because of some seasonings? Beef understandably might cost more. dishonest advertising!

Picture yourself at the roadside dhaba in Lahore Pakistan with amazing chefs & the hosts, who will replicate the experience similar to if you traveled there ! I got the chicken Thali . It was amazing . The taste of the food is similar to if I go abroad.. I promise you that. If you are in Montreal you are doing a disservice to yourself by not stopping here ! Thanks a lot guys. Keep the quality high as always. There menu has many varieties. The lamb Thali is next for me on my next trip !
This reviewer probably does not know what real Lahori food tastes like. The Aloo gosht and the Haleem as as authentic as can be. Have not tried anything else. There is no better Lahori food in Montreal except may be Shahi Palace in the west island.
This place is awesome every time I visit. We usually get the tandoor grill mix & fish pakoras, which are always fantastic. Whenever we try other things like desserts or chai, they're also delicious. The food is fresh & top-notch quality. The owner is really nice, attentive, & open to feedback. The atmosphere is great, & the service is amazing. I highly recommend this place, 5 out of 5 stars!
