Overall, reviewers praise Lala Masala for warm, attentive service and a friendly atmosphere, with dishes that are flavorful, well spiced, and freshly prepared. Vegetarian options are highlighted, authentic Indian street food flavors stand out, and the setting with indoor and outdoor seating and calm music adds to the experience, with drinks and juices noted as refreshing and good value. The restaurant is seen as a promising Montreal newcomer, birthdays and other requests are accommodated, and many say it's worth visiting again for a range of dishes like chaat papdi, vada pav, pav bhaji, veg cheese cutlet and Bombay sandwich, along with a touch like shaadi wali coffee and other small details that enhance the meal.
We visited this place for two days straight. Food was awesome. Ordered Paneer Paratha, Aloo Paratha, Paneer Pakoda & Tea.. Everything was upto the mark. I highly recommend this restaurant for pure vegetarian too!

We were a group of 4 adults & 1 kid. The server was friendly & professional.. for kid they made sure parantha without any spices. We loved Pani puri & chole bhature.
The owners are lovely & very nice.
I had a fantastic chat papdi! The atmosphere was warm & inviting, the service was in credible .My choice of papdi chat & Masala Tea.. dish was bursting with fresh flavors. A special mention to the staff, Sami, Ahmad, Mohamed & others who went out of their way to make me feel welcome. I will absolutely be returning soon!
Excellent food & amazing service! The flavors were authentic, fresh & full of taste.
Best Indian vegetarian restaurant in ddo.
If you haven't visited Lala Masala yet, you're truly missing the taste your soul deserves.
Very kind & generous staff. I was offered several things to taste, & even a free dessert by Sami. Really lovely staff & warm atmosphere. They were giving out free roses to every mom who walked in on mother's day.
I ordered a Thali.
All the menu is vegetarian.
The portions are decent, the price is reasonable, & the quality is quite good. I would definitely return.
My husband & I have been coming here for their thali plates for lunch takeaway & tonight we finally tried it for dinner.
The service was fantastic (our server gave great recommendations & was super kind), the food was amazing (see pic lol), & we had leftovers for breakfast the next day!
I would recommend to anyone looking for Indian in the area. Their desserts are really delicious as well. The sweet lentils & the little donut ball thing are delicious.
We ended up making an order for pickup the following day for my vegan sister in law & that also went perfectly. The food was ready exactly when they said it would be. This is a real find for any vegans in the west
This food is so delicious, you don't miss the meat. They take such care to ensure your taste is satisfied. They make great suggestions of foods to try. Loved our experience.

This was our first visit to Lala Masala, & we came out very happy, satisfied & with the plans of our next visit.
This is a must visit restaurant & the only place where you will find the taste of mother's cooking. Yummy.
Went there a few times. Very warm service & Amazing food. Love their chaap, Malai Kofta, Pakoras & Honey Chilli Potato, Daal Makhani, Jalebi. Thali is pretty good too with lot of filling choices & comes with Moong Daal Halwa
Ordered the Thali platter. Not impressed. Only one of the curry was any good. One was too salty & the other tasteless. Rice was dry, golub jaman was not edible & the up-charged onion naan was hard & stale. So disappointed as I was looking to try this place. Won't be back. Wasted my hard earned money.
Im not even vegetarian & wow!! I've had the best dining experience & super happy to have this North Indian culinary experience in the West Island.
I shared with a friend the following plates
& I recommend you do too
Appetizers Papri Chaat - it's like crispy bread on the bottom with sweet yogurt & chutney an amazing blend & not too spicy ! Mild. Price $10
Honey chilli fries $10 are excellent with the Chaap tandoori ( soy seasoned tandoori spices comes Smokey hot with peppers $12
Samosas $2.50 so fresh
Dessert: rabri galaby crispy donut swirls with a crème fresh like topping with chai.. SO AMAZING
I haven't tried the curries but apparently it's a must so next time :) MUST TRY you will not be disappointed & Alvaro service was awesome! Super helpful fast & informative :)
