Overall, reviews portray Jay Bhavani Vadapav as a casual, family friendly spot that captures the authentic Indian street food vibe with vadapav, misal pav, dabeli, sev puri, and a variety of chaat and Jain options; many diners praise bold Indian flavors, fresh tasting pav bhaji, and a welcoming, efficient service, with highlights on butter vadapav and satisfying, spicy Indo Chinese pairings; the atmosphere is described as warm and vibrant, and the menu is noted for value, quick service, and a reliable selection of vegetarian options; a few critiques mention inconsistent portion sizes and freshness, occasional slow or inattentive service, and in some cases pricing or value perceptions that could be improved, as well as a few menu items that do not meet expectations, but the overall impression remains that the place delivers flavorful, comforting street food that tastes like home and invites return visits in Montreal.
The location is great - it's a few minutes walk from two different metro stations (orange & green line) so it is really easy to get to. Since it is located downtown parking can be tough so coming by metro is perfect. There is lots of indoor seating & also a few seats outside. Orders take a bit of time to be served but everything comes out hot & fresh so it's worth waiting. Their special masala chai is the BEST & I always order a cup whenever I'm nearby. It's sweet but you can feel that they really let the spices brew for a long time & therefore it tastes super good. They have lots of "street food" snacks & you can ask them for recommendations if you are not sure what to order - I did that & the staff was super nice & thanks to them I got to try some new dishes & flavours that I was not familiar with before then. I would love if they could include some special menu such as "special Indian breakfast/brunch" during the weekend. I feel like I have so many options for brunch downtown on weekends but not indian ones, where I can order like a plate with a mix of several items with friends or even a big breakfast with a kettle of tea for the table which feels like eating back home at a reasonable price.
Must try place!!! We had cheese Vadapav, Dabeli & Manchurian. I must say this was most authentic test I had in Canada. Would recommend everyone to give it a try & I am sure no one will regret it.

Street style Indian food is really good here. I tried pani puri, veg sandwich, french fries & vada pav & I really liked all of them barring pani puri.I would definitely recommend this place for street style food.
