I want to preface this by stating that I am a rare steak kind of girl. I am in no way vegan. I was going out with friends, two of which were vegan, but I love good food, & adore Indian cuisine so I was totally down to try this place. Did not regret it. It was our first time there, & the owner came over to our table & explained the entire menu to us, detailing every kind of dish (the Biryani is great, try it). The cocktails were delish & so many of the items were made in house. It was honestly amazing. These people have such a passion for their food, I did not miss the meat & would not hesitate to go back. This is honestly a gem of a place. Give it a try you will not regret it. Thank you for the lovely experience. I would post pictures but we were too busy eating.
Tula is without a doubt my favorite restaurant in Montreal. I was in town for three months, & after my first time eating here, Tula became a weekly stop. It's not just the best vegan food I have ever eaten, but the best Indian food as well. Grandma's curry, the biryani, & any one of the three exceptionally creative desserts are especially worth tasting. The variety of flavors & the uniqueness of the dishes even make this a great place to take a non-vegan. The atmosphere is very pleasant & calming, & the service is outstanding: special shout-out to Abhi & Alina for their warm hospitality during my repeated visits. This is a must-stop destination for anyone coming to Montreal, & well worth going out of your way to experience.

Beautiful place, server was a sweetheart! Super balanced decoration & peaceful vibe. I took a hot drink & it was sooo soothing. The biryani tasted fabulous, the tikka masala was so good, & the chicken portion was very generous. Everything was super flavourful & spicy the way i liked it. Would definitely come back for the lunch thali. Also the desserts look divine!!
I honestly wasnt impressed by the flavors. We ordered the biryani & the grandma curry but I feel like there was no balance in the flavours. For anyone who's going there mainly for the platter, keep in mind that its available only for brunch. Service was good & fast though
I went there last Friday evening with one of my friends. Let me just start off by saying, before & after being a vegan...hands down the best Indian food I have ever had. When the owner asked how the food was I was with my mouth full but my face of "oh God this is amazing" was full on. The owner is extremely calm & friendly, explains everything to you, very nice man & the place is small but cozy, warm & calming as well. I was telling my friend that whoever is cooking in the back, I will marry them for the food. We had the butter "chicken" poutine, butter "chicken" with chapati & the biryani. Yes, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs but we were more than happy to take leftovers home. The spices used for everything were perfect, not too spicy, a perfect blend, a bit of sweetness to it. Definitely look forward to returning & trying their brunch menu! I wish we took pictures but we jumped right into the food!
What a cute gem of a restaurant with owners that care about their food, your health & sharing their traditions. The dishes were very flavourful & the kitchen was happy to accommodate for a higher spice tolerance. I recommend the biryani! Will be back for the desserts!

The food is so delicious. I had the biryani which was a generous portion & very tasty. My friends ordered the tikka masala & the grandma's curry. Both were delicious. The mango lassi is amazing. I highly recommend this place & I'm definitely going back 😋
Première fois que je commande chez Tula ce soir & c'était vraiment délicieux. Les Dahl sont bonnes & biryani également. Tout est délicieux je recommande fortement & les employés sont super sympa
Tula is a must-try restaurant for Indian food with a serene ambience! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with calming spa-like music in a dining room filled with artistic decor & soft lighting. We were served by Abhi who welcomed us with such hospitality that we would go back just to hear more about the restaurant! We ordered the Jackfruit Biryani & the Vegan Butter Chicken Curry - both of which had incredible flavours. 10/10 would definitely visit again!
We were in Montreal for three days didn't get proper vegan/ vegetarian food until we found Tula restaurant. Food is very delicious. Vegetarian biryani is must try. Also Thali is also amazing. There were so many great options that we couldn't choose a few. Ended up eating lot of things. We traveled from Boston. This restaurant is must to try. Restaurant owner was also friendly & informed us about what is best way to navigate in Montreal

Amazing ! Best Biryani in town ! Food is delicious, we loved every dish we ordered. The owners are wonderful, they are the crème de la crème. Highly recommand
Exceptional flavors, authentic test.This vegan Indian gem delivers an explosion of taste in every bite. From savory curries to aromatic biryani each dish celebrates the richness of Indian cuisine with maharatrian flavour without compromising on ethics. A must-visit for vegans & food enthusiasts alike!"
Tula has the best Indian & Asian vegan food in North America. Just the right amount of spice, not at all greasy & flavors so tempting all in one. The service is very attentive & the owner is very informed, knowledgeable & passionate, his positive energy rubs on to you. The menu is very carefully curated & l have been to TULA several times, for their monthly special THALI, evening Biryanis & Currys & weekend brunch, this is by far the best vegan restaurant in Canada! Their butter chicken & poutine too is mind blowing. The price is very reasonable compared to what you pay for junk food or bland & boring poke bowls full of emulsified oil sauces (which looks healthy but is it really once you pour those sugary or emulsified oil beautiful sauces on it?). LONG LIVE TULA! We must support & encourage this lovely local gem & pride of Montreal!

Commande pour emporter; accueil plus que chaleureux, rapide d'exécution en cuisine; ma commande de 2 plats était prête en moins de 15 min malgré une salle à manger comble. Bouffe : savoureuse, épicée, vraiment une bonne bouffe réconfortante! J'ai pris une salade & le biryani au mockchickn; délicieux, & riz croustillant assaisonné à la perfection ❤️ bravo, je reviendrai c'est certain
Greetings! We dined today, & I savored the most delectable cuisine. Our selection included elaneer payasam, vegan chicken with veggies , & vegan chicken biryani. Much appreciation-the flavors are truly exceptional!
Fabulous meal, wonderful dining experience. Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Biryani, Grandmas's curry, Indian panna cotta & sukka kaafi all excellent. Owner extremely warm, friendly & passionate about his food. Will be back there soon.
Good & filling vegan Indian food. The owner was very helpful & enthusiastic about the food, & had really good recommendations! They had a special Diwali menu with delicious Biryani
We enjoyed biryani with jack fruit & tikka massala & chapati. The food was tasty & the owners passion & knowledge for his cuisine added to the experience. We highly recommand this place if you're looking for a cozy vegan restaurant at a reasonable price & tasty dishes!
