Pendant de longues années (entre 2001 & 2005, pour être précis), j'étais un client assidu de Pushap. J'y allais chaque semaine. Souvent, plus d'une fois. Puis, j'ai changé de boulot, d'environnement & j'ai cessé de fréquenter l'établissement. J'y suis retourné la semaine dernière... & je me suis régalé! J'avais presque oublié à quel point la bouffe était tout à fait délectable ici. Comme tout les restos depuis le confinement, les prix ont augmenté, mais en tout & partout, ça demeure fort raisonnable le midi. & de manière générale, les prix sont plus qu'adéquats pour la qualité de la nourriture offerte. Rapport qualité/prix imbattable. Si vous aviez oublié ce sympathique petit resto, je vous suggère de vous raviser & d'aller faire un petit tour à nouveau. Vous ne serez pas déçu(e)s!
J'y vais depuis plus de 15 ans & je n'ai jamais été déçus. La cuisine est excellente (vous devez essayer les dessert roses ou ceux qui ressemble à des mini hot-dog !) & c'est le meilleur rapport qualité prix que vous allez trouver à Montréal. Le service est efficace & toujours fait avec le sourire. On peut autant appeler pour commander & venir le chercher ou manger sur place, j'ai testé les deux options & c'est impeccable. Ps: Je vous recommande de demander un extra riz & d'acheter des samosas pour des repas facile durant la semaine.
Edit: 2024 I asked someone that was flying in to Montreal to please buy & Freeze their Samosas & sauce for their flight home. Lol It was so delicious!!! 2022. I moved from Montreal to Calgary three years ago & the one thing I miss so badly is Pushaps Samosas & Sauce. They have been around for at least 20 years I would think. I have heavily dreams about it & if I have a chance to go back l would buy 100 of them because they are so good. I wish Pushaps would freeze them & ship across Canada they are so good.
Food was amazing. A bit spicy for us but still!! We were full when we left & we didn't pay a fortune. The prices are very reasonable. Samosas are soooooo delicious. The crust is one of the bests. Also pakora is my favorite! The onion bread was also very tasty. You dont need anything else to eat it with. It's just so good. The staff were very friendly & they offered us free desserts to try. The place is clean & the service is very fast. Thanks for the great food & hospitality!
A legendary spot. Actually tastes like home cooking! & with a level of warmth that few Indian restaurants in the city can manage without challenging your heat levels. & it seems the prices haven't gone up in thirty years, that's also a treat. All in all, perfect.
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!
VEG restaurant with good seating. Restaurant accepts only CASH. Prices are very reasonable. Food is good. Tried their samosa & pakora combo 2$ & their thali was very filling at 8.50$. Masala chai was not that great. Gulab jamun was not bad for one piece at a dollar.
Amazing Indian food at probably best prices. Cash Only. I have tried it many times & it is always satisfying my tummy when I crave authentic Indian food.
