J'y suis allée avec ma famille & j'ai adoré la nourriture vraiment faites maison & cela paraissait dans la qualité, on nous a bien conseillé & le service était bon.
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..
Le service était vraiment étrange, le serveur ne connaissait pas son menu & était socialement malhabile, en plus de nous avoir assigné à une table sur laquelle il y avait de la vaisselle sale des clients précédents.
La nourriture avait un goût correct, par contre, j'ai eu un empoisonnement alimentaire qui m'a clouée au lit pendant 24h.
Je comparerais l'ambiance du restaurant à celle d'une quincaillerie.
If I was local, I would support this restaurant because of the good they do in the community. &, especially since they were victims of a dine-&-dash group on Christmas Eve. If you're in the neighbourhood, & are able to make up for their loss, it would be a very kind gesture on your part.
Disappointing delivery experience, though dine-in may be better.
The food quality is acceptable when dining in, but I strongly recommend avoiding delivery orders from this restaurant. After two separate attempts with UberEats, I encountered significant issues both times: the first order arrived with undercooked meat, & no napkins/utensils even though I had requested them, & the second was incomplete with missing items. Based on these experiences, this establishment doesn't appear to have reliable delivery operations.
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.
