One of the best vegan restaurants in Montreal! Most of their dishes are gluten-free as well. The thali served on the weekends is a must-try! The owner is also very friendly & will go to great lengths to explain the menu & ensure a great culinary experience.
Recommended by the waiter, I ordered the Thali. It consist of salad, vegetable dishes, Indian bread, rice & dessert. The simmered dishes are very flavorful & fragrant. The Lassi relieve the palate from the spicy dish. A bit pricey for lunch but tasty.

Tula, from concept to execution, is flawless & unlike anything I've ever experienced before. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, the service is impeccable, & the food is nothing short of extraordinary. Their Goan jackfruit curry is one of the best dishes I've ever tasted. The mango lassi, pindi cholle & fried rice were equally phenomenal. Even for a non-vegan like myself, Tula's creativity & exceptional quality of food make it a must-try. It is undoubtedly one of the most unique restaurants I've ever been to. Highly recommended!
Incredible food & wonderful service! I rarely review restaurants on Google but I could not skip this one as I think it's a place is a must visit! Being vegan for 7 years now I've tried my fair share of vegan spots & dishes & I cannot believe it was my first time at Tula. This restaurant is a gem! The food is just delightful. Packed with flavours, nutritious, & really satisfying! The owner is a gem too. As many of the reviews stated, he explains the whole menu to each table & gave specific recommendations based on our preferences (not too spicy). I will definitely be back in the future & cannot wait to try their lunch special!
The best Indian food I've ever had! Our table ordered a variety of dishes - each one was unique, flavourful, & beautifully presented. The ambiance has a great vibe. The service is friendly & hospitable. The owner, Abhi, made the experience even better by taking his time to explain the menu & making you feel welcome. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Tula for their delicious plant based gluten free flavorful dishes. The service was friendly & welcoming. I took my sister to Tula's to celebrate her birthday, we were impressed by all the great tasting dishes. We had the Koshimbir salad which was beautifully displayed! Grandma's Special coconut curry, Tofu Lasooni Dhaniya, a side of chapati & extra basmati rice, we also had a cup of turmeric latte. We will definitely go back to savor the other rich & flavorful dishes. I high recommend this restaurant.

I am a bit hesitant when it comes to vegan food, but everything I tried was so flavourful that I am definitely going back to try other dishes. Plus, the staff were so friendly & the atmosphere is cozy, that it kind of feels like dinner at a friend's. This place is very much worth trying.
What a wonderful experience. All plant based, cruelty free & zero compromise! Service was wonderful. We had several dishes & everything was so flavourful & authentic. You can taste the quality & attention that was put into every dish.

After living in Montreal for many years & tasting the same, boring, spicy, oily generic Indian food here, I think we have found what we are looking for in Tula. It is a really cute, intimate, peaceful restaurant on St. Laurent. The service was impeccable, with the owner himself going around to each table & took the time to explain each & every dish on the menu with a smile on his face! You can really sense the passion that he has for the restaurant & vegan/healthy food in general & that is greatly appreciated! The food itself was just what we wanted, very simple, no nonsense food that felt like we were dining at someone's home. We ordered the Asian Style Salad, Grandmother's Special Curry & Lasooni Palak Tofu & the Elaneer Payasam for dessert. The Grandmother's Special Curry with "chicken" & vegetables, is a must try & completely outshone the other dishes (the others were very tasty too!) It had amazing flavour with just the right amount of spice & not oily at all. The Elaneer Payasam was quite interesting, nothing quite like what we've had before. As a tamilian myself, I wouldn't say that it is a typical south indian payasam but nevertheless it was quite tasty! Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by how great the food is here & will definitely be back soon! We look forward to trying the family restaurants in Toronto as well!
Amazing food & it gives you a soothing & relaxing vibes. It is the best vegan Indian food that I have tasted in Montreal. There are so many dishes that I wanted to try to but can only stick to some. Tried their lunch combo(thali), vegan keema pav (vegan meat with vegan bread) & Grandma's curry with vegan chicken. It was all delicious & made feel of homemade cooked food the flavour & spices were all intact. Will definitely have to visit again to try other dishes.
Anhi, our server, was amazing. The atmosphere relaxing & the music beautiful. The food was beyond words. So delicious that my brain shutdown & I woke up having devoured all the food. We got the Yellow Dal, Chk'n Tikka, Grandma's Special Curry with vegetables & Chana Masala...along with the turmeric latte & mango lassi. The chapati is so delicious & great for eating the dishes. I prefer this to eating rice. We are definitely coming back again & again. Next I want to get the byrani & four other things I haven't had :)
The best vegan Indian restaurant my partner & I have ever been to! We came for brunch on the weekend & got the tasting menu & the idli. We were blown away by all of the dishes - balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, very home style cooking. The next day we came back for lunch & tried the lunch thali & goan shrimp curry. Once again, we left full & happy! Make sure to try the mango lassi & the masala chai! Cannot recommend this place enough. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
