I've been a customer along with my sister & my parents for many years now & I have never been disappointed. Service is fast, the price is right, I love the tally there & the desserts are exquisite. I'm just in love with this place. Hope it never closes.
IMPORTANT: Cash Only Place Once I did not have cash so I did a UBER Pickup but as we all know prices on the UBER menu are always more than actuals. No place in Montreal can beat their Samosa price! Though some people wrote about bad service in the reviews, but for some unknown reason I was always served very nicely here. I tried many dishes here as I live nearby & I am sure you will find Aloo-Gobhi(Potato- Cauliflower), Baigan Bharta(Egg Plant dish) & Daal Maharani(Lentils) as some of the good menu items here. Food items are less spicy so kids can also enjoy. For dessert you should try the "Gajar Ka Halwa"(Carrot Dessert) & the "Laddu"(Flour Dessert) as the best recommendations though all of their desserts & entire Indian Sweets section is just really really good. This place is very busy on weekends so try on weekdays!
I ordered samosas, mango lassi, papri chaat, & aloo paratha. The samosas are amazing. The chaat did not come with any toppings or veggies which isn't traditional. I was really disappointed because I was expecting pomegranate or mint or something fresh on top. The mango lassi & aloo paratha are okay but I'd try other items on the menu because it's possible I simply ordered items they're not as strong in.

Bless Pushap! They're decades-long proof that you can serve decent & delicious home style vegetarian food without charging massive markup. Their waitstaff is young & rotates a lot, so if you eat in, so expect the same service you'd get eating in at a bakery, & you'll be fine. Terrific staff & food, love you Pushap!
I've been eating here for a couple of years now, not once have I been disappointed! A dream for vegans & vegetarians!! The samosas & chickpeas with rice are my all-time fav. The atmosphere is comfortable & cozy. It might take a couple minutes for your table to be served expectedly..Servers are nice & welcoming. I would definitely recommend 🤗
one of my favorite places. Discovered it because I walk past it almost everyday. DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN INDIAN FOOD. Everyone is super nice, service always A1 & food A1.
This was a very impressive spot! I had a rough time finding parking, but worth the headache for sure! Samosa's & Pakoras are Oh! so good & on the very very VERY cheap side! The food is just plain great! Good flavors, rich spice mix & a small amount of heat! Chick Pea Dhal was my favorite by far & the Aloo Gobi was spicy & tasty!!!! The sweets are soo good! Ty for the advice on the chickpeas sweet squares!!!! A great indian experience!
