Came by for dinner after a day of traveling, the food was delicious. The Chicken Karahi was flavorful, & the Chana was some of the best I have eaten in a while. Two thumbs up!!!

The karahis are juste insane the gravy is perfectly Spiced & the naans are minute made in the tandoor. The server was comprehensive even with mant orders going on at the same time. Honestly mama khan is just grate ppl must be patient a bit bc on a rush time it can't be perfect at 200%. Btw I advice u guys to make a reservation before coming so that your spot is secured & its more easier for the service. Brunch of familles pulling up at the same time without reservation is not the smartest idea

We are two physicians went to this awful Pakistani restaurant. I am from India. She's from Pakistan. She was excited to take me to a Pakistani restaurant. I went with her to this awful restaurant'MAMA KHAN'. We were visiting Montreal. Originally we are from Boston, MA USA.
First & foremost, I'm not sure it is a Pakistani restaurant or it it is run by Afghani people.
The first order was Samosa. It was burnt outside cooked in high heat, so when we opened it one layer of Maida was raw inside. The potato inside was black & had a weird taste. We were hungry so we hate the outside part of the Dough, although burnt.
Second order was lassi- it smelled something awful. I drank one gulp & didn't touch it again.
The third order was chicken haleem but it appeared to me the chef forgot to put the chicken- it tasted like dal & wheat. Although it was not that bad. I ate it as if I'm eating dal.
The third order was lamb charsi Karahi. I could not eat even one piece. It was not cooked at all.
I packed the lamb as by now I had lost faith & didn't want to leave the entire untouched dish. I thought these guys may serve my left on table dish to someone else. We took the left over food & put it in a trash.
The Nan was not bad except one fourth of the naan was not properly cooked, so we discarded that portion & ate the rest of the naan with the'DAL HALEEM'🤣
Service- the kid was from Afghanistan & was decent. He was polite.

Samosa was not cooked, haleem was awful & lamb in lamb karahi was hard like rock. Never going back ever.
Edit after owner reply. Thanks alot for reminding me of Nan too. I forgot to mention that Nan was raw. Btw lassi was also awful smelling so bad that my husband almot had vomiting after taking a sip.
We packed away all the food because we couldn't eat & was thinking to give to some homeless but I throw away as I decided not to give that hard rock lamb to even any homeless.

Disappointing drop in quality today - standard was completely missed - I am a regular at Mama Khan, but today's experience was highly disappointing. We ordered the chappali kebab, which is usually a beautiful dark brown & packed with flavor. Today, it completely missed the mark.
The first plate they brought out was hard & burned. After we sent it back, the second attempt came out a dull, unappetizing brown (see photo). When I pointed this out to our server & showed them a picture of the chappali kebab we typically get here, I was simply told that they had run out of a specific spice, but that'it would improve next time.'
Frankly, if a critical ingredient is missing, management should just tell customers the dish is unavailable rather than serving an inferior version. The server really didn't seem to care. On a positive note, the chicken karahi was nice, but this is far from the food & service I typically expect from Mama Khan.
