Been to every restaurant in the city & this place has really impressed me food quality & quality & the service was excellent, we had the chapli kebab & it' was amazing authentic taste from peshawar's local , the karahi were amazing we had three types of karahi & just enjoyed it , Naan i've never had this type of naan in montreal or toronto , thin crisp hot buttery naan light weight flying naan , i suggest everyone to come here if they visit montreal , i'm definitely coming here as a regular my first time & will be back , Mama khan is a top chef ,
We visit Montreal once a year from Toronto & hit a hidden gem during our recent trip when we came across Mama Khan. We were pleased to know that the business is run by family members from Peshawar, Pakistan. We only ordered chapli kebobs & chicken karahi but wish we could try more. The food was just amazing. Nothing had the commercial label on it from the looks or taste of food. We enjoyed the naans as much as the actual meal. Raza brought our food fresh & in no time. Service was impeccable. We'll be sure to return at our next trip & will definitely recommend to others.
I highly recommend this restaurant to all those looking for authentic Pakistani flavours! Ordered the Chapli kabob, chicken Karahi, lamb Karahi, regular naan, tandoori Biryani, & mango Lassi. Everything was cooked perfect & amazing flavours! Special shoutout for the Chapli kabob & naan! The mango lassi was the perfect temperature & flavour!! I would only say the washroom & dining area be updated & expanded **Regular spice level was perfect for non Pakistani family!

The best food & best value we found on a 5 day trip to Montreal. The server working was very kind & welcoming & helped us with a tip about how to best enjoy an unfamiliar dish. The food was great. ~$27 usd/person with a party of 4 - drinks, 2 garlic naan, 2 sides & 4 entrees.
Amazing food all around. My favorite was the karahi (asked for spicy, with naan), then chapli kebab, then pani puri. The karahi is very flavourful & the meat was very tender. The chapli kebab was excellent & would be really good in a wrap too, as others already mentioned. The pani puri are of excellent quality, with no leakage of the pani at all (but not as spicy as I usually have it).
Amazing Pakistani Cuisine in the heart of Montreal! Great flavours & the terrace outside was a delightful experience. We tried their butter chicken, garlic naan, chana samosa & chapli kebab(which the owner said they follow a family special recipe) . Amazing service, definitely worth a visit!

Maybe this is more of a dine in restaurant. We got a take out on a particularly snowy day. Food was okay, expected more out of the chicken karahi. Naan didn't seem freshly made. Hope to try it again in a better season & eat at the restaurant.
I heard so much praise about this restaurant so I went in today for dinner. Pathetic chapli kababs & tandori chicken. Everything tasted so mild even when I had asked for spicy. After spending so many years in Peshawar, I know what a chapli kebab is & what should it taste like. Sorry but the kababs & chicken were really disappointing. Biryani & Naans were good. Chatni was also top notch.
The fluffiest naan I've ever had. Instantly became a Montreal staple for me.
More of a quick service dining experience, but the food was superb. They were out of a lot of the chicken options, but got the Tandoori Chicken & it hit the spot, the real shining star was the naan bread. Good portion size for the price.
