Everything was great 💖
I went last week with a friend & the moment we sat down we were served with ice cold water, which was amazing as it was 30 degrees that day
The waiter was very attentive & gave us another bottle 2 seconds after we finished the first one, it was the first time I didn't have to look around for staff & ask them for a refill
After we ordered it wasnt a long wait to get our food & the server insisted we let him know if anything was missing & was always easy to reach
Service 10/10
The vibe of the restaurant was so nostalgic, I can't pinpoint exactly what it was but i think it was a mix of the decor, the music, & the families eating together. The music was not loud & we were able to talk comfortably for an hour, after eating we stayed awhile because it was so comfortable
As for the food it was very affordable, I paid the same amount for homemade food & a cozy seat that I would pay for a sandwich at a random takeout spot
The pani puri itself made me give a 5 star, I will be going back & getting 2 orders of it, super crunchy, super fresh, it was my favorite
Then we ordered 2 dishes ; chicken haleem & palak paneer with garlic naans
We had half of each & were full, so not only did we have a great experience at a restaurant , we had leftovers to take home
To top it off Mama Khan has been very vocal on their tiktok account regarding social issues & spends time giving back to the community which makes me want to support the business even more 🌸
This place was amazing, the atmosphere felt luxurious & cozy at the same time, the food was insane, we got the chicken karahi & it was amazing! The butter naan was fluffy & soft. The waiter was very nice & the wait was not long at all, I would definitely come here again.
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.
Updating the review for more context, & to respond to the owner's sarcastic comment. Yes, we were upset that the waiter told us right after serving the food that you were closing in 15 mins, not 20 mins, & the entire experience was terrible. The Tikka Chicken was the most tasteless I've ever had, the place in general was not clean, the service was terrible & what eventually made the drop from 3 stars to 1 star is the butter chicken that we eventually took home to eat was soggy, the chicken quality was extremely & visibly low with dark spots all over. So, to summarize, it was easily one of the worst dining experiences we'ever had anywhere in the world.
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.
Very disappointing food for a 4.6 rated restaurant.
Ordered the saag paneer, chana & a shredded chicken curry. Would only touch the chana again. Hard to find any chicken & the dish developed a skin.
Restaurant was empty with overly loud music to mask the kitchen noise.
Service was poor, not much engagement from our waiter.
Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes but from what we got I wouldn't want to try any others. Waste of a meal when other options available across Montreal.
What a shame.
Came by for dinner after a day of traveling, the food was delicious. The Chicken Karahi was flavorful, & the Chana was some of the best I have eaten in a while. Two thumbs up!!!
We are two physicians went to this awful Pakistani restaurant. I am from India. She's from Pakistan. She was excited to take me to a Pakistani restaurant. I went with her to this awful restaurant'MAMA KHAN'. We were visiting Montreal. Originally we are from Boston, MA USA.
First & foremost, I'm not sure it is a Pakistani restaurant or it it is run by Afghani people.
The first order was Samosa. It was burnt outside cooked in high heat, so when we opened it one layer of Maida was raw inside. The potato inside was black & had a weird taste. We were hungry so we hate the outside part of the Dough, although burnt.
Second order was lassi- it smelled something awful. I drank one gulp & didn't touch it again.
The third order was chicken haleem but it appeared to me the chef forgot to put the chicken- it tasted like dal & wheat. Although it was not that bad. I ate it as if I'm eating dal.
The third order was lamb charsi Karahi. I could not eat even one piece. It was not cooked at all.
I packed the lamb as by now I had lost faith & didn't want to leave the entire untouched dish. I thought these guys may serve my left on table dish to someone else. We took the left over food & put it in a trash.
The Nan was not bad except one fourth of the naan was not properly cooked, so we discarded that portion & ate the rest of the naan with the'DAL HALEEM'🤣
Service- the kid was from Afghanistan & was decent. He was polite.
