Accueil très chaleureux, nous avons commandé le platter à partager.
C'était délicieux, très varié & tout était très bon. Le menu comprenait également un naan, un lassi mangue & un dessert.

Their service is extraordinary. This mom & son duo have been creating waves in helping the people in & around Montreal. Their generosity knows no bound. Their food is top notch! You are missing out.
A unique mix of cuisine from the North West Frontier Province & altruism. Inspired by a CBC radio feature on Mama Khan's philanthropic efforts during Ramadan, (&, year-round, as we subsequently learned) we sought out this cosy establishment located in le Plateau. The culinary experience exceeded our expectations - the dishes were reminiscent of homemade delights, evoking memories of my own mother's cooking. The attentive service & generous portions, advertised for two, but sufficient for four, only added to the charm. Our long-standing quest for restaurants serving authentic, home-style Pathan meals found corporeal & spiritual delight at Mama Khan's.
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.

Very, very slow service. Friendly staff but complacent. No offers to compensate for slowness. Our last dish took over half an hour to be prepared & arrived after we were done eating.
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 .
Updating based on restaurants response*: *The chapli kebab's were to be honest not bad, what I meant was that we have had better ones in Mississauga as well as in Calgary, that resonated more with the authentic chapli style but that said your chapli kababs were good. The Bryani I still do not know, my wife is from Sindh & I have spent reasonable portion of my life in Sindh, including Hyderabad, Karachi & interior Sindh parts, but have never come across a tandoori bryani of this type. I strongly feel it should be called rice with BBQ'd chicken but I will respect what you have in there"*. The service & professionalism were outstanding. We ordered the tandoori biryani, chapli kebab, & Peshawari lamb karahi. The karahi was absolutely incredible, hands down, one of the best I've ever had. However, the biryani was disappointing. It felt more like blended rice with BBQ'd chicken than anything resembling traditional tandoori biryani. This dish would be better off renamed, as it doesn't resemble the true tandoori biryani you'd expect, whether in KPK or anywhere else. The chapli kababs were decent but nothing special. That said, the staff was incredibly friendly & made the experience more enjoyable.
