Very beautiful, very clean, service was excellent & friendly. Great food.
Edit: I came again, tried the butter chicken & it was the best butter chicken I had in my life!! A must try. I also tried the biryani rice with jack fruits in it & it was 10/10 👍👍
Service: The server always pays attention to his customers & is always making sure everything is good. 10/10 for service
This Indian restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm & inviting atmosphere sets the perfect tone for an amazing dining experience. The portions are generous, the flavors are rich, & every dish is cooked to perfection. The appetizers were a fantastic start-bursting with flavor & beautifully presented. But the real stars of the show? The biryani, tikka masala, & butter plant-based chicken. Each bite was packed with bold, aromatic spices that made it impossible to put my fork down. On top of the incredible food, the service was outstanding-friendly, attentive, & always ready with great recommendations. If you're craving authentic, delicious Indian cuisine, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

We ate at Tula on Christmas Day for dinner & it was wonderful! Our host was so friendly & explained with enthusiasm the entire menu. We had the Koshimbir salad( so fresh!), Biryani with chicken (amazing!) & Grandma's curry (warm & yummy). Would highly recommend & we will be back again :)
Tula in Montreal is a must-try fusion restaurant, especially for its jackfruit biryani. This dish is best enjoyed after an hour, allowing the rice to absorb all the flavors, enhancing its taste. The owner, Abhishek Arun, is incredibly friendly & passionate about his food, making every visit special. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, perfect for enjoying their unique vegan offerings. Tula is truly a gem where everyone should experience the delightful blend of flavors & exceptional service
I recently dined at Tula restaurant, & it was an exceptional experience! This place boasts an outstanding menu with a wide variety of dishes. The Tikka masala & Biryani were standout choices, bursting with incredible flavors. & when it came to dessert, the payasam was a delightful treat. However, the Biryani was the highlight of my meal - an absolute must-try. I was so impressed with Tula that I couldn't resist returning for a second visit during my 3-day trip. This restaurant is a gem, & I'll definitely be back again. Highly recommended!
This vegan restaurant is a true standout, offering a wide range of flavorful options that are sure to impress. Abhishek, the owner, was very kind & took the time to thoroughly explain the menu to us. We decided to try the plant-based chicken tikka masala & vegetable biryani, & both dishes exceeded our expectations. The flavors were bold & authentic, with the perfect balance of spices. The food was so well-prepared, it was hard to believe it was entirely vegan. The warm atmosphere & attentive service made the experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back for more.

Vegan chicken biryani - 5/5 Vegan panna cotta - 5/5 Service- 20/5 ...it was the owner or manager but wow service was memorable on top of memorable delicious food All around - Just go, like now
I loved the food & the service here! While I was visiting the area I decided to try this place out for dinner with a bunch of my partners relatives who were not vegan.. not only were they impressed, but I was so impressed I went back for more that weekend. The owner & I had a lovely conversation & it is rare that you get that one on one connection with the people that are running a restaurant. It was really heartwarming to see a lot of dishes inspired by their moms & grandma's cooking on the menu, which seemed very sentimental to the owner. The vegan mango Lassi & crepe are a must on the brunch menu & the Biryani & salad selection on the dinner menu are fabulous. I also loved the mushroom gravy. Owner was such a sweetheart & gave me free dessert after our lovely chat.
Exceptional Vegan Indian Restaurant in Montreal both food, atmosphere & customer service. I made reservations at this restaurant in advance from Toronto to Dine here for dinner with friends from Italy & Toronto. We were here on holidays for the weekend & this is the best restaurant in Montreal!!! Such a hidden jem & very welcoming friendly staff. The owner & chef is incredible!!!! I wish I had an extra day to try there brunch or lunch. The meals are reasonably priced, great quality & excellent presentation. The spices are well balanced & very healthy Indian cuisine. I highly recommend making reservations & sharing some if the salads & appetizers to start. Also make the best Mango Lassi!!! I was in Indian last year for 6 months & this is by far the best Mango Lasi & best Jackfruit Biryani I have ever tasted!! I can't wait to come back on my next trip to Montreal
Coup de coeur pour ce restaurant indien végane en plein coeur du quartier mile-end ! Une très belle expérience dans un cadre accueuillant ou la belle musicalité zen des lieux s'harmonise parfaitement à la cuisine raffinée & ainsi qu'au décor charmant. De plus, le propriétaire est fort sympa & il prend le temps de nous expliquer avec passion le menu en entier. Bref, tout est juste savoureux & Tula (qui signifie équilibré en sanscrit) ! À essayer au menu : Boisson à la mangue - Lassi Curry noix de coco Tikka Massila Biryani Dessert - Gulkand Panna cota

C'est sérieusement le meilleur restaurant Indien de l'île de Montréal. Le fait qu'il est végan n'est qu'un plus. J'y suis allée pour fêter les 36 ans de mon mari & je n'ai aucun regret. Nous avons pris la salade Sasav, elle était plein de saveurs. Mon mari a pris le Biryani au poulet vegan & il était épicé comme il le doit sans que la saveur ne soit étouffée par la chaleur. J'ai pris le Ghassi & j'ai eu une explosion d'épice & de Umami. J'ai eu l'impression de manger le ragoût autour d'un boeuf Bourguignon mais avec un petit kick réconfortant. Le Panna Cotta était divin. Il goûtait la vraie eau de rose, pas celui artificiel plein de sucre de la majorité des desserts en contenant. Nous recommandons 11/10
Folks, the ratings given to this restaurant by the 1100+ reviewers before me are not an exaggeration. This is the spot. I've ordered & been to TULA quite a few times now, & it has become my favourite restaurant in the city. Montreal has so much amazing food, & TULA tops them all. Not only is the food some of the tastiest food you'll eat, but it's also super healthy. When you tell people you're vegan, the assumption is that you eat relatively healthy. But not so much when you eat out. Vegan does not equal healthy. TULA is delicious, vegan, healthy & totally unique. The owner, Abhishek, is also the nicest, most humble chef & host. He is very passionate about what he does & it shows in his food. He's also a strong supporter of other vegan chefs in the city, & his appreciation for those who directly provide for the vegan community was really sweet & refreshing. Rather than see each other as competition, I love that there's support between those chefs. Regarding the food, I've eaten at TULA for dinner mostly, but recently discovered they also served brunch, & both are delicious. For brunch, my partner & I tried the Bombay Sandwich & the Brunch Platter. The sandwich had multiple layers of greatness & texture. The platter had a few items from the brunch menu, all of which are interesting & different. Sambar, black chickpea salad, chutneys but best of all: the sweet potato porridge. I could have eaten buckets of that porridge. As for dinner food, so far I've tried the: - Koshimbir (isn't it so great when a salad isn't treated as an afterthought & menu-filler?) - Grandma's Special Coconut Curry (good lord, amazing, had it with the assorted veggies & vegan chicken) - Dal Tadka (love the flavor) - Jeera Matar Aloo (maybe I love cumin, this was delicious too) - Biryani with jackfruit (the vegan mint raita is glorious) - Tofu Bhurjee (awesome with the chapati) Food from TULA actually has a lot of real estate on my mind, & I absolutely will keep on returning to try food I've yet to have the chance to eat.
Are you kidding me? One of the best restaurants I've been to for fresh flavor. The tikka masala veg chicken is a must. I also had the chicken biryani & the pineapple salad was fresh & blended just right with greens, flowers, & tasty dressing. Whenever we are in Montreal, we will go here.
The meal here was delicious. They serve some unusual Indian delicacies not found in other Indian restaurants. The flavour, spice & the serving portion has the right balance. The hospitality is welcoming & warm. I recommend their Jackfruit Biryani.

This place is a gem! All vegan & all gluten-free (except chapati had gluten & gluten-free version). The owner is super sweet. The venue is nice, would be cool if there was a terasse. The food was delicious. We had the vegan butter chicken, jackfruit biryani, & panna cotta. Very impressed by the texture of the faux chicken & the gluten-free chapati. The value for your money is great as the portion sizes are big. I will definitely be back.
Enjoyed a cozy dinner with friends & family at this charming spot AGAIN!! This place is cozy & has a vibe, & the food is always delicious with traditional elegance & authenticity. Poulet Au Beurre Vegetalien & Biryanis Au Jacquier are exceptional!! The owner, Abhishek, personally ensured our experience was top notch, checking in with us multiple times & serving us with care, which is important right from the start. This place was clean & beautifully decorated, so was the ambiance. DEFINITELY A PLACE TO GO!!
This restaurant is an absolute gem! My partner & I are Vegan chefs, so it is rare to love every item we order. I can say with confidence that everything was absolutely delicious! We had Grandma's Special Coconut Curry with was very comforting & flavorful, Jackfruit Biryani which was amazing paired with the green sauce & all other curries, the Goan Jackfruit Curry which had the best sauce in my opinion, & lastly the Special Mushroom Poutine. This poutine is the best vegan poutine in the city, we've tried them all! The fries are perfectly crispy outside & soft inside with lots of flavor. The sauce was served on the side so you can decide to to dip & keep your fries crispy, or pour overtop for a classic poutine. That sauce was fantastic, too! The 2 Mango Lassi were perfect, too. The service here was amazing. The owner is extremely kind & passionate about his restaurant & answered all questions with kindness. Brenda was also very kind & helpful. I don't think we could have had a better experience, the full staff went above & beyond even clearing a table by the window so we can have better seats for when the food would come. 10/10 recommend.
We are family of four from Toronto & frequently travelling across the country. We know some of the best restaurants in the North but rarely post any review. On the way from our last road trip we found this gem in Montreal & we decided to give it a try. TBH food was super delicious with a surprise twist & that made me to write this honest review. Must Must try - 1. Koshimbir 2. Stir fry veggies with house special ginger sauce 3. Vegan Butter Chicken 4. Vegan Chicken Biryani 5. Spicy/hot veggies Biryani 6. Chapati There are some rare gem of the dishes on the menu as well & we are going to try on our next visit. Thank you team "TULA" & you are doing great, keep going!! Conclusion - Highly recommended restaurant. Super friendly & knowledgeable
