A long-standing institution that continues to welcome & serve its community with its flavorful, affordable & nutritious vegetarian dishes
The aroma of hundreds of fresh samosas fill the airs of dining room & a window display covered in desserts greet you once stepped through the doors of the restaurant. The food is unpretentious & embodies all that is comfort.
Even after ten years, the food remains just as good & heartwarming as the first time I remember having the pleasure to eat it. The palak paneer is deliciously aromatic & earthy. The baingan bharta is lightly spiced & deeply sweet from the slow-cooked onions. The chapati is crispy on the outside, & wonderfully fluffy & chewy on the inside.
Regardless of what you order, I assure you will be well taken care of. Just be mindful that Pushap accepts cash only.View more

As someone who has reviewed some of the best & expensive Indian restos in MTL, Pushap gets my seal of approval. They have the best samosas on the island imo. They only cost like 8$ for a dozen, totally great price. Everyone knows this place for their samosas. They also have sweets & you can sit at the restaurant & try some indian cuisine. Their food is also really good for the price you pay, which is very cheap for all the food you get. Totally worth eating here, their Thali's & everything is really good. Only downside is the resto size, they need to expand their restaurant, they barely have space for a semi big line. It is not good. Heads up only accept debit &/or cash but if you do on Uber Eats you can pay by credit card too.View more

When it comes to vegetarian Indian pushap is the place to go to. I've been going to since it open , same owner same & 90s place with somewhat of an upgrade. But the food is alway good. One of the best places in Montreal to get samosas & sweets still.View more

Mr.
I've been coming here for samosas for over a decade & that means something, you can get a dozen at a great price. I recommend going earlier because they run out. The restaurant also offers a variety of delicious dishes & sweets. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, but parking outside is limited.View more

There's a user here who said that the Samosas are from Walmart but I've been coming here for 20 years & they are definitely not the Samosas in Walmart are new & this restaurant has been there for over 33 years.. That person must be new here. I love the sweets & the pakoras! The people are friendly tooView more

We love their chana bhatura thali! Always served fresh & tasty 😋 Service is bit slow provably because it's very crowded most of the time. Prices are extremely reasonable 👏🏻 Their mithai/sweets are good & fresh too. Love the barfi 🍬View more

This is a place for Affordable food options Worked at a place near this restraunt. Ususal orders in my office from this place were Samosas, tea, mango lassi, sweets like gulab jamun, chat papdi, or a lunch meal like lentils with rice. No complaintsView more

It finally happened. What you ask? I tried Pushap after hearing good things about them for years. However, it would be a true test of their service, quality & patience on a long weekend evening. To begin with the counter person was kind in answering a few questions while ordering. Despite servers running to a fro from the kitchen with customer orders navigating through the line growing as the dinner rush steadily amplified. I ended up taking out a Thali tray with lentils (my choice between them & what I was told was the spicier chick pea option). I also opted for the fried Chapati based on another recommendation by the counter person. We also discussed their selection of sweet treats & I got one I'd never tried before - which turned out to be a fragrant & textural bite. The wait wasn't too long despite the afore mentioned tumultuous scene of people in the know about good Indian food forming. The platter consisted of cumin rice, a lightly vinegar tasting cabbage salad, slight spicy Matar Paneer with Al dente peas & soft white cheese. The lentils which were more like a soup - but that's not a bad thing. Also a chunk-style potato & green pepper stew which I believe is called aloo shimla mirch which was very satiating & flavourful. The Chapati was nice & stretchy & served as a second spoon for scooping up the curries. The quality, taste & portion was just right for an enjoyable dinner. Another non-edible delight was their prices being very fair - kudos for that! Happily they passed with flying marks & the hype was not just hype. Good work to all the staff.View more

IMPORTANT: Cash Only Place Once I did not have cash so I did a UBER Pickup but as we all know prices on the UBER menu are always more than actuals. No place in Montreal can beat their Samosa price! Though some people wrote about bad service in the reviews, but for some unknown reason I was always served very nicely here. I tried many dishes here as I live nearby & I am sure you will find Aloo-Gobhi(Potato- Cauliflower), Baigan Bharta(Egg Plant dish) & Daal Maharani(Lentils) as some of the good menu items here. Food items are less spicy so kids can also enjoy. For dessert you should try the "Gajar Ka Halwa"(Carrot Dessert) & the "Laddu"(Flour Dessert) as the best recommendations though all of their desserts & entire Indian Sweets section is just really really good. This place is very busy on weekends so try on weekdays!View more

This was a very impressive spot! I had a rough time finding parking, but worth the headache for sure! Samosa's & Pakoras are Oh! so good & on the very very VERY cheap side! The food is just plain great! Good flavors, rich spice mix & a small amount of heat! Chick Pea Dhal was my favorite by far & the Aloo Gobi was spicy & tasty!!!! The sweets are soo good! Ty for the advice on the chickpeas sweet squares!!!! A great indian experience!View more

I visited this place & had lunch last Saturday. Had ordered samosa, Chana masala, chapatis, Veg pulav, regular lassi & raj-mah, alu sabji as parcel for dinner. First of all I really didn't understand if this place charges taxes coz they only accept cash so I assumed there won't be any taxes however that was not the case. They asked me to pay CA$ 31.90 against the bill of 29.25 CA$ (assuming 1.00 CA$ for water bottle) else as per their menu I had ordered foods worth 28.25 CA$. Now, let's move to my reviews as below 1. Samosas (CA$ 2.00) - biggest disappointment, you can't sell anything by just calling it samosa, it was full of oil & there was no filling like samosa in it so a big no no for me. 2. Chana Masala - very simple test & medium quantity however worth the price of CA$ 4.00 3. Chapatis - CA$ 1.00 so worth it. 4. Veg. Pulav - we can't call it pulav, it was just ordinary rice with some peas & tomatoes & masala in very small quantities however you can't expect anything more at a price of CA$ 4.00 5. Alu Sabji - again very simple boiled alu Sabji in medium quantity so justifies its cost of CA$ 4.75 6. Raj-mah - Couldn't taste it coz I had taken it as a parcel & wanted to have it in my dinner but it got stale so I had to threw it. 7. Regular lassi (Sweet)- looking at the quantity, I feel its worth CA$ 3.00 So overall, Ok Ok kind of experience but I kept feeling heaviness in stomach till late night after having the lunch so not sure Abt the quality of ingredients they use to prepare the food however looking at the crowd I assume all good. Conclusion: As per Indian standards you can call it a "Vojnalaya" where we get a reasonable food at very reasonable price coz you won't get the feelings of a restaurant food here. Special thanks to guys(Waiters) here for their polite behavior & fast service. PS: The guy with beards at the billing counter tries to pretend like a Britisher with fake accents & behavior makes you feel uncomfortable instead of adding any value to this place.View more

Amazing Indian vegetarian delights. Their curries, dals, aloo Gobi, Channa masala with rice & naan is so flavourful, glorious & delicious. Usually I get some vegetable pakora & samosas to go. All their Indian sweets- desserts are sweet & tasty also. My fave are the coconut dusted gulab Jamun, barfi & Kalakand. A simple establishment. They take cash only. If Indian spices are to your liking you shan't be disappointed.View more

Haven't tried anything other than their samosas & sweets. Which is a reasonable pricing for the quantity. I used to pay 6$ for at least 12 samosas. & it tastes amazing! Definitely a city gem!View more

The snacks & sweets are good.
The curries in Thali were bland.
Small place, felt like it's pretty crammed because the tables were close & tight room to pass by.
Service was good.
Prices were very economical but that's why it's a
Cash only place.
I'll return for the samosa.View more

Been going there for 20 years. Delicious vegetarian food, reasonable prices, & good service. Best samosas on the island. Worth the detour even if you just get samosas & sweets.View more
