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.
One of the most terrible & humiliating dining experience we ever had. I dined in with my wife & had already ordered Chapli kebab over the phone while I was sorting out parking. When we arrived, we confirmed the order again. When we were asked about naans, I clearly refused in the first place & stated that we had brought my own.
After the food was served & the owner noticed the naans & immediately became aggressive, saying:'Why did you bring your own naans?' He then kept arguing & pressuring us to order naan despite knowing the fact we brought in our own naans everytime. We told clearly that we did not want any & that we already had enough.
Mind you, we do not like your naans because you lack expertise in making them (check the comments by Heena M & Abdul Qadir in particular stating the same & many more).
The most unacceptable part was despite the food already being served, we were aggressively told to'pick up your food & you can leave'. Who has given you this right to treat customers this way, especially regular customers? We travel twice a week from a nearby city to visit Mama Khan & have been recurring visitors, yet this is the disrespect we received. The owner chose hostility & we ended up eating cold food outside in -12°C because of this humiliating behavior.
Shame on you.
Absolutely delicious food! We ordered Chicken Karahi, Chapli Kebab, roti, paratha, & gol gappay , everything was bursting with authentic flavors & tasted just like homemade. The Chicken Karahi was rich & perfectly spiced, the Chapli Kebabs were juicy & flavorful, & the fresh rotis & parathas complemented the meal beautifully. The gol gappay were crisp & refreshing, adding the perfect touch to the experience. Overall, it felt like enjoying a hearty, home-cooked meal ,we'll definitely be coming back!
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.
Would 100% go again & again ! The food is amazing, good quality & good price for what it is. I ate chapli kebab, garlic naan, beans & a mango lassi. (Maybe the mango lassi was a tad too small for the price of 7$)
This restaurant is great for two, & probably only for 2 or above. It seems like the dishes were made to be shared for the most part, as the servings are really big & you have to buy the rice separately & anything else for that matter. Nothing comes in a bundle.
The service was amazing, the waiter was really nice, explained the dishes & concept really well. He gave us a good introduction to the meal served & good suggestions.
