Located on Paré Street, Pushap is the oldest Indian sweet shop and restaurant in Montreal with over a dozen varieties of scrumptious Indian sweets, it also serves affordable vegetarian Indian food that is sure to please many palates.
Pushap is a beloved, budget-friendly vegetarian Indian spot noted for generous portions, fresh flavors, and great value on dishes like samosas, thali, palak paneer, bhatura, naan, and chaat. Reviewers praise a warm, welcoming vibe and fast, attentive service, though cash-only payments and occasional longer waits are mentioned. The owner and staff are repeatedly described as kind, contributing to a homely, family-like atmosphere. Overall, it is seen as a go-to for affordable, delicious vegetarian Indian cuisine that feels like home, appealing to regulars and visitors alike.
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.

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 ❤?
Pushap is a Montreal must. Delicious delicious food at an affordable price. The staff is attentive & kind. The owner is an absolute sweetheart. I cannot recommend it enough

Love it, love it, love it.
Last place in town with great food for a price you can afford, & staff & owners are pleasant & warm hearted. ***Vegetarian Paradise*** & that is coming from a carnivore.
Amazing vegetarian Indian restaurant. So good & such great prices. Usually take Saag Paneer, Basmati rice, Naan bread, Samosas & Pekoras. Great service. Highly recommended!
