Review Summary

Mama Khan is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for authentic, high-quality Pakistani cuisine, with many patrons praising the flavorful chicken karahi, chapli kebabs, and fresh, tandoor-made naan. While the vast majority of diners describe their experiences as delicious and reflective of traditional, homemade meals, a small number of visitors have noted occasional inconsistencies in food quality, service efficiency, and dining room cleanliness. Despite these isolated critiques, the restaurant is frequently lauded for its warm, welcoming hospitality and, perhaps most notably, its commendable commitment to community outreach through regular charitable meal programs, which has earned the establishment significant respect and loyalty from its customers.

Nous avons découvert ce restaurant par hasard, & nous n'avons pas été déçus ! Découverte totale de certaines saveurs. Je recommande une visite ! Le cadre n'est pas extra mais l'objectif est culinaire donc ce n'est pas un soucis.

Incredible food all around, reminded us of home & mom's cooking. Perfect for whenever you're feeling homesick or want a taste of authentic Pakistani food. Will return whenever I'm in Montreal next.

The worst Pakistani food i have ever eaten, was a long day after we arrived to Montreal via flights, dined in hoping for some delicious food, the naan was tougher than a rubber, biriyani was just rice snd meat no flavour at all, the curries were absolutely bombarded with tomato & salt, disappointed at its peak, will never come agajn

Stopped by for lunch & was pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh, flavorful, & arrived quickly. I ordered the pakora, chicken Peshawari karahi with naan, & the tandoori biryani. Everything was delicious & full of authentic flavor. The portions were generous for the price, & the staff were friendly & attentive without being over the top. If you're looking for tasty Pakistani food, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Updating the review for more context, & to respond to the owner's sarcastic comment. Yes, we were upset that the waiter told us right after serving the food that you were closing in 15 mins, not 20 mins, & the entire experience was terrible. The Tikka Chicken was the most tasteless I've ever had, the place in general was not clean, the service was terrible & what eventually made the drop from 3 stars to 1 star is the butter chicken that we eventually took home to eat was soggy, the chicken quality was extremely & visibly low with dark spots all over. So, to summarize, it was easily one of the worst dining experiences we'ever had anywhere in the world.
