I ordered the Peshawari chicken & absolutely loved it-it was packed with flavor. Huge respect as well for the public service they do by feeding people in need every Friday, which is truly incredible. I'll definitely be back to try the Charsi chicken karahi next!❤?
Very good food. The naan's are their highlight. Tandoori chicken is well prepared too. Although the butter chicken was slightly too sweet. Overall a great restaurant. Would recommend again!
Friendly Multilingual service. Background music at a nice low level. AMAZING food. We were a couple with 4 kids between the ages of 10-15, we had Saag Paneer , Naan, Butter chicken & daal, perefect amount tasty food everyone agreed even the pick eaters. Thanks for an wonderful dinner!
We were visiting Montreal & searching for halal food & based on Google reviews we ordered food from them. The serving size was too small, although it mentioned 2 person serving on the website but it wasn't even enough for 1. Tandoori chicken was so burnt that it was black in color. Same was with chicken kababs. Karahi was tasteless not even close to Pakistani food. Also, on the website free soup was offered & I added it to my order but I didn't receive it. I won't recommend this restaurant.
The service was mad good but the food was even better. They thought we ordered too much & then food was so good & we ordered more. Karahi, kheer, tandoori chicken, haleem 🔥 must try if you're in Montreal
We had the butter chicken, lamb kharayi (sp?) & beef chapali kebab with rice biryani & chapati.
They curated the spice expertly. I said we were debutants but spice curious & they delivered a palate challenge that gives me confidence to push further next time.
will definitely be back for what looks like a metre long naan..

Mama Khan, located in Montreal's Plateau, offers authentic Halal Pakistani cuisine with rich, traditional Peshawari flavors.
Mama khan gave the generous portions & high quality of the food. The Chicken Karahi stands out for its rich, indulgent flavor, often noted to be prepared with butter (or makhni style), making it creamy & satisfying. Although dishes such as Biryani are rich in flavor, the spice level may be mild, so it's advisable to request extra spice for those who enjoy a spicier taste.
The must-try Kebabs & enormous, fresh chapati bread perfectly complement the hearty main courses. The service is friendly, Mama gave us a free chai, completing a warm, family-like dining experience.
Had an amazing experience at Mama Khan! The food was absolutely delicious especially the Butter Chicken Karahi, which was rich, flavorful, & perfectly spiced. The service was just as wonderful. Our waiter was super friendly, attentive, & made us feel so welcome. Loved the atmosphere & authentic taste. Can't wait to come back!
Absolutely delicious food! We ordered Chicken Karahi, Chapli Kebab, roti, paratha, & gol gappay , everything was bursting with authentic flavors & tasted just like homemade. The Chicken Karahi was rich & perfectly spiced, the Chapli Kebabs were juicy & flavorful, & the fresh rotis & parathas complemented the meal beautifully. The gol gappay were crisp & refreshing, adding the perfect touch to the experience. Overall, it felt like enjoying a hearty, home-cooked meal ,we'll definitely be coming back!
Nous avons mangé à plusieurs reprises & cetait toujours excellent, mention spéciale pour le butter chicken! Le prix est vraiment très raisonnable
Les serveurs sont super sympa & attentifs, on recommande !!

Finding true Pakistani taste is difficult when you are touring in a foreign city but we were lucky to find Mama Khan. The food was tasty & service was a-one. We ordered pishawari karhai, chicken biryani & Chaplin kebab. All were good. Parking is difficult to find though. There is a paid parking about 10 mins away.
Mama Khan Restaurant in Montreal offers a flavorful taste of Pakistani cuisine. The chicken karahi was absolutely amazing-rich, tender, & full of authentic spices. The chicken biryani was delicious with perfectly cooked rice & well-seasoned chicken. A special highlight was the fresh garlic naan, soft & fragrant, the perfect complement to the meal. Highly recommended for anyone craving traditional & satisfying Pakistani food in the city.
Nice find in MTL while traveling with family. Ordered Butt karahis (chicken was better than lamb) which were very similar to those found in Mississauga ie passed our Karahi bar :). Also had their Chapli Kababs which were really good! All that goes with nice naans. Def a must recommend
Chana samosa is very delicious (It is only mentioned in the pickup grab n go menu). We tried their butter chicken. They say the dishes are for 2, but the portion was a bit small to us. So if you're really hungry & usually enjoy a big meal to yourself, i would suggest to take all the portion & order another dish too ☺?

loved the food but would like to highlight the amazing service as well!! the staff was so nice & attentive. def recommend the butter chicken & the garlic naan
One of the best spots in montreal. I had an appetizing lunch with my family. Having their amazing chicken Karahi so flavourful & delicious also their kebab chapli was well made adding amazing texture & topping along side with their Naan which was HUGE. I wish i can say more but im having hardtime writing of how full I got coming out of Mama Khan. Amazing!
I got iftar deal it was amazing. Chapli kebab chicken etc amazing really good deal for 2 person for iftar. a1 5 out of 5. I have tried them before also the food was really good keep the good work guys thanks
L'une des meilleures places sur Saint-Denis. La nourriture est excellente bien épicée & équilibrée. Leur butter chicken est l'un des meilleurs que j'ai mangé. Le service est excellent aussi.
This is place is an absolute must , as a Pakistani man this place taste as authentic as it gets . Like others have said the chupli kabobs are absolute must . Chicken kari is best in the city hands down . & when I came they ran out of samosa chat but if they ran out it must be off the charts . The service was remarkable super friendly & fast .
