J'ai bien aimer mon expérience ... J'ai pris une commande pour apportez ... Prix très ressonable ... Très bonne portion ... Le seul problème de cette entreprise es que tu doit avoir l'argent cash sur toi .. pas dinteract ou de carte de crédit ... Mais aussi non si tu as de l'argent liquide sur toi l'arrêt en vos la peine
Exceptional food at incredibly reasonable prices a rare find in today's economy. I've been coming here since childhood, & what truly sets Pushap apart is their consistency; the recipes haven't changed, & every bite still brings that same comfort & nostalgia.
The samosas are simply the best, the puri is perfectly light & fluffy, & the chana masala is always spot-on with its balance of spice & seasoning. Even writing about it makes my mouth water.
This place is just the best, the food is so good I've been coming here for 10 years & never had a bad meal. I used to live in the neighborhood, now I live an hour away & still travel here because I crave it consistently. The prices are also incredibly low for what you get, & the ambiance here is 10/10 for me. It's in kind of a weird location but you must make your way there to try it!
Always fast. & covid conscious - no longer putting jugs of water on the table; each customer is given a fresh plastic bottle of water.
But prices like everywhere else, have gone up. But I find the pricing a little high for mainly lentils & rice.
The food was very good. The restaurant's owner uncle was very nice & served with great love. I remembered my home after eating the food. The food was very good. Thank you
Friendly service & wonderful flavourful yummy food that fills the tummy for great value. Our family needed good food quickly after travelling, & found Pushap close to our hotel. The combo we ordered, eggplant dish, mango lassis & chai were exactly what we needed. At the end, we were offered some sweets too. Not sure when we will come back to Montreal & Pushap again, but thank you for providing us a great meal & dining experience.

I've been coming here with my family since around 2002 - hard to believe how quickly the years have passed. Back then, there were very few desi spots, & almost none that offered sweets. This place has always stood out, & it'll always hold a special place in my heart for the incredible treats.
This is where the OGs come for authentic food made with love.
We ordered aloo paratha, bhatura, naan, palak paneer, & papri chaat, everything was insanely tasty & surprisingly affordable. (Just a bit oily though)Like… way better than you'd expect for the price.
But honestly, what made it even more special was the owner. I was short $3 in cash & he was so kind about it, just said it was okay. So generous!!!
Service was super fast, everything came out fresh, & the vibe was just warm & welcoming.
Please make sure to bring cash when you go, & definitely tip if you can,they truly deserve it. Such a genuine place with amazing food ❤?
