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 celebrated for authentic Indian vegetarian dishes offered at affordable prices, with the thali, samosas, breads and sweets described as comforting and generous in portion. Reviews repeatedly call it a neighborhood gem with a welcoming family owned vibe and friendly service, even as a few notes are raised about service at the counter and limited seating. The food is described as fresh and not overly oily or salty, tasting like home and satisfying hungry diners, with many declaring Pushap the best Indian in town and a go to for value. Payment is sometimes cash only, though some orders via Uber Eats allow card payments and there is mention of limited parking nearby. For those seeking vegetarian Indian cuisine with consistent quality and low prices, Pushap remains a long standing staple that keeps patrons coming back for samosas, sweets and hearty meals.
We visited here in 2016. Now we are back in Montreal in 2025, & came here again. Best quality Indian food that tastes like home, & feels light after leaving. The food isn't artificially oily or salty. Feels healthy & fresh!
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.

Visited this place on our trip to Montreal. The service was amazing, staff were so polite!
The food was delicious, felt like home.
10/10 recommend for wonderful ambience, competitive prices & delicious food
Tried out the restaurant yesterday with a friend & was pleasantly surprised. Everything we ordered tasted amazing. The food was flavorful & the mango lassi was refreshing! Service was impeccable, the man serving us was really helpful. We ordered 2 dishes that had the same sauce base without knowing & he modified one of them slightly so we're not eating the same thing. Will definitely be going back!
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.
