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.
Great Indian restaurant. Authentic & NO FRILLS. Menu is filled with options for vegetarians & meat eaters alike. Chana masala, red bean curry, potato curry were all delicious. The samosa was delicious as well. They served us bottled water as waters. CASH ONLY ESTABLISHMENT. they are accommodating to tourists & accepted USD & gave me change in CAD. The service is as good as authentic places can get. No parking lot. Has to park at nearby street. Don't expect 5 star service, but expect 5 star food with great cheap prices.
If you love simple & delicious pure vegetarian food. This is the place to go. I don't even know how many time I've been to this restaurant in the last 5 years. We drive from Ottawa to Montreal sometimes just to have a simple meal at this restaurant. They have a very simple menu which is great. The food is really good. As simple as it can get in a restaurant. It's always fresh. Very simple & with right amount of spices. Their samosas are good too but I really love their thali options. Some people may not find the ambiance that great but I wouldn't complain about it. Finding a parking is a pain in that area though.

Best indiam restaurant in montreal. Mild spicy food with authentic taste Quality & quantity are awesome. Price is unbeatable. This is my regular spot from today.
I visited this place & had lunch last Saturday. Had ordered samosa, Chana masala, chapatis, Veg pulav, regular lassi & raj-mah, alu sabji as parcel for dinner. First of all I really didn't understand if this place charges taxes coz they only accept cash so I assumed there won't be any taxes however that was not the case. They asked me to pay CA$ 31.90 against the bill of 29.25 CA$ (assuming 1.00 CA$ for water bottle) else as per their menu I had ordered foods worth 28.25 CA$. Now, let's move to my reviews as below 1. Samosas (CA$ 2.00) - biggest disappointment, you can't sell anything by just calling it samosa, it was full of oil & there was no filling like samosa in it so a big no no for me. 2. Chana Masala - very simple test & medium quantity however worth the price of CA$ 4.00 3. Chapatis - CA$ 1.00 so worth it. 4. Veg. Pulav - we can't call it pulav, it was just ordinary rice with some peas & tomatoes & masala in very small quantities however you can't expect anything more at a price of CA$ 4.00 5. Alu Sabji - again very simple boiled alu Sabji in medium quantity so justifies its cost of CA$ 4.75 6. Raj-mah - Couldn't taste it coz I had taken it as a parcel & wanted to have it in my dinner but it got stale so I had to threw it. 7. Regular lassi (Sweet)- looking at the quantity, I feel its worth CA$ 3.00 So overall, Ok Ok kind of experience but I kept feeling heaviness in stomach till late night after having the lunch so not sure Abt the quality of ingredients they use to prepare the food however looking at the crowd I assume all good. Conclusion: As per Indian standards you can call it a "Vojnalaya" where we get a reasonable food at very reasonable price coz you won't get the feelings of a restaurant food here. Special thanks to guys(Waiters) here for their polite behavior & fast service. PS: The guy with beards at the billing counter tries to pretend like a Britisher with fake accents & behavior makes you feel uncomfortable instead of adding any value to this place.

Great food at some of the best prices I've seen for an Indian restaurant. Value was excellent & I couldn't even finish my $12 meal. Service was very fast & friendly, the owner himself served us & chatted with us. There's also a great selection of Indian desserts. Very eager to visit again. Just be aware that they only take cash.
Always a pleasure to see the owner. He & the staff are always nice & helpful. Love the food there even if the menu is vegetarian, the flavor is amazing.

Amazing Indian vegetarian delights. Their curries, dals, aloo Gobi, Channa masala with rice & naan is so flavourful, glorious & delicious. Usually I get some vegetable pakora & samosas to go. All their Indian sweets- desserts are sweet & tasty also. My fave are the coconut dusted gulab Jamun, barfi & Kalakand. A simple establishment. They take cash only. If Indian spices are to your liking you shan't be disappointed.
