Incredible food all around, reminded us of home & mom's cooking. Perfect for whenever you're feeling homesick or want a taste of authentic Pakistani food. Will return whenever I'm in Montreal next.
Stopped by for lunch & was pleasantly surprised. The food was fresh, flavorful, & arrived quickly. I ordered the pakora, chicken Peshawari karahi with naan, & the tandoori biryani. Everything was delicious & full of authentic flavor. The portions were generous for the price, & the staff were friendly & attentive without being over the top. If you're looking for tasty Pakistani food, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Mama Khan, Montreal - A Memorable Taste of Authentic Pakistani Food
We visited Mama Khan in Montreal in 2023
& had an enjoyable experience, particularly because of the Chapli Kababs & lamb Karahi.
The Chapli Kababs were the highlight of our meal. We were told they were prepared using the owner's mother's recipe, & the homemade touch was clearly reflected in the taste. They were incredibly juicy, tender & packed with flavour, with a wonderful balance of spices. It had been a long time since we had eaten Chapli Kababs this good. They tasted authentic & were cooked perfectly without being dry or overly greasy. 4/5
The Lamb Karahi was also excellent. It was rich, aromatic & very flavourful, with tender, soft pieces of lamb. The spices & masala complemented the meat nicely, making it a comforting & satisfying dish. It paired really well with naan & was definitely worth ordering. 4/5
The Chicken Biryani was decent, but compared with the Chapli Kababs & Karahi, it did not stand out as much. It was okay in terms of flavour & portion, but it could have benefited from a stronger aroma & more depth in the masala. 3/5
The ambience was fairly simple & just okay, so the restaurant is more about enjoying the food than having a premium dining experience. Parking can also be difficult to find in the surrounding area, so it is better to allow some extra time.
Overall, Mama Khan offered us a satisfying Pakistani meal, with the juicy Chapli Kababs being the clear winner. I would definitely recommend visiting for the Chapli Kababs & Karahi, especially for anyone looking for authentic, homemade-style flavours in Montreal.
I came to Mama Khan from Ottawa to especially share this meal with a friend on my birthday. This was my second time at the restaurant & the last time I came was a decent experience & the food was good.
Last night, my friend & I went to the restaurant. The food was still quite decent. Here is some constructive feedback for the restaurant.
The server needs to be trained on how to serve properly. We had to remind him of napkins, water, straw individually. He was polite but not very competent.
The restaurant had no cold drinks. When I asked the server for drink options, he said there was nothing except tap water. Later he shared that there were some options for soda. He gave us some lukewarm sodas with terribly straws that did not work.
The bathroom (toilet) was incredibly dirty. We went to wash our hands & came out feeling dirtier.
Overall, while the food was decent, our experience was not good. I am from Pakistan & understand dhaba style dining & can tolerate a lot more than my fellow Canadians who don't understand if the service is part of'authentic' experience or not.
As a proud Pakistani Canadian, I would love Mama Khan to invest in some basics for their restaurant. The food is good, experience needs to be so much better. I shared my feedback with the server as well because the things I pointed out can be fixed with some effort.
Bottled water, cold drinks, clean bathrooms, better straws (even from dollar store) - some minor changes that can make this a much better experience for all who want to support the business.
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.
