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.
There almost always a free table to sit down, & you're served within a few minutes at most if they're busy, or pretty much instantly otherwise. Service is courteous & friendly, & the food is really good. The thali dish on its own is plentiful enough for a good meal, & for less than $15 it's quite the bargain.
You can also pick up samosas for cheap on your way out, so really worth it.
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!
