Best paranthas in Montreal. I came all the way from Halifax to visit Montreal. This is the best food i had so far. Everything was so good. Paneer butter masala, gobi parantha, aloo parantha & chaaaaa. Speacial thanks to chef parminder & Rajwinder.
I had the most delicious paranthas at this restaurant! The paranthas were perfectly crispy on the outside & soft inside, stuffed, spicy on request generously with flavorful fillings. They reminded me of authentic homemade paranthas from India. Served hot with fresh yogurt, tangy pickles, & butter melting on top-absolutely comforting & satisfying. The taste, portion size, & presentation were excellent. Definitely a must-try for anyone craving real Indian comfort food! Best chefs in town Parminder & Rajwinder.

My dining experience at this Punjabi restaurant was absolutely fantastic! The honey gobi was a knockout-perfectly crispy cauliflower coated in a sweet & tangy glaze that was incredibly addictive. It was the ideal balance of flavors & texture. To wash it all down, I had the mango lassi, & it was one of the best I've ever tasted. Rich, creamy, & bursting with the fresh, sweet flavor of ripe mango.
Everything, from the delicious food to the warm & inviting atmosphere, made for a truly memorable meal. I can't wait to go back & try more of their authentic dishes. Five stars!
