I was looking for something to eat Sunday afternoon & decided to try Kalabok. Amazing food & very friendly staff! ?t's amazing to finally have Uzbek/ Tajik food in Montreal which is not only delicious but also very affordable & available. I had Plov & Somsa, & there are several other items on the menu to try, including Ukrainian dishes.
I will definitely be going back whenever I am in the area!
Rahmati kalon!

One of rare places where you can taste autentic dishes from former USSR countries. I tried almost all of it & can confirm that it has taste from my childhood. Great variety, welcoming owners & modest prices. Must-visit place!

Very beautiful experience! This Russian style family restaurant in Montreal is really something special. We were four person & we shared many different dishes & desserts. Everything was fresh, warm, & so tasty, like homemade food from family kitchen. Portions are good & the flavors are rich & comforting.

Staff was very nice & friendly, always smiling & checking on us, but not pushing. They explained the menu with patience & made us feel welcome from first minute. The place is small & cozy with a family feeling. You sit & relax like at home, enjoying tea & dessert.

I highly recommend this restaurant for family & friends, epecially ones looking for halal food. We will come back for sure!
