My partner was hugging the toilet the next day from the CHANAS! Not related to spice at all. The chicken karahi was decent. Bear in mind, there are NO veggies in the vegetable Biryani. Just start calling it plain Biryani rice, because that's what it is.
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.

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..
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.
Well tiktok really hyped it. Terrible seating. Idk looks like somebody's apartment, biryani was tasteless. I had high hopes but. Alas! Pani puri was ok, chapli kebab was ok, idk everything seemed tasteless. 🙂
Finding true Pakistani taste is difficult when you are touring in a foreign city but we were lucky to find Mama Khan. The food was tasty & service was a-one. We ordered pishawari karhai, chicken biryani & Chaplin kebab. All were good. Parking is difficult to find though. There is a paid parking about 10 mins away.
Nous avons testé Mama Khan & avons passé un excellent moment. Nous avions commandé un veg biryani, mais le serveur Thanver nous a expliqué qu'il s'agissait plutôt d'un riz biryani sans légumes - utile à savoir pour les personnes qui mangent vegan.
En revanche, ses recommandations étaient parfaites : un grand butter naan avec une sauce aux haricots rouges absolument savoureuse, & un aloo paratha bien gourmand. Tout était vraiment délicieux & le service attentionné a rendu l'expérience encore meilleure. Une adresse que je recommande vivement ! 🌟
Mama Khan Restaurant in Montreal offers a flavorful taste of Pakistani cuisine. The chicken karahi was absolutely amazing-rich, tender, & full of authentic spices. The chicken biryani was delicious with perfectly cooked rice & well-seasoned chicken. A special highlight was the fresh garlic naan, soft & fragrant, the perfect complement to the meal. Highly recommended for anyone craving traditional & satisfying Pakistani food in the city.
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.
