I really recommend Tula, they have one of the best mango lassis i've ever had! We ordered vegan butter chicken & grandma's curry, & both meals were amazing. The stuff is also incredibly nice, & they are all bilingual.
Brittany
Wonderful restaurant. The food is flavorful, delicious, & healthy. I had the lunch thali, which was a great way to try lots of different things. The mango coconut lassi was also amazing. Very friendly service as well.

The food was amazing! I recommend the tikki burger. The food was so light & flavourful. The portion sizes were just enough & it tasted very authentic. & this was just the brunch menu! The service was so amazing as well! The service was also perfectly bilingual. I highly recommend for authentic & fresh food. Drinks were super good. The mango lassi, made with coconut yogurt, was one of the best I've had!

We have tried a lot of vegan restaurants in Canada inspired by Indian culture & this place seems a bit overrated in terms of an overall experience - food, service, price.
Mango lassi was average, the biryani in the thali was dry
Alexandra
Amazing experience always! The owner is extremely nice & explains the menu well. Mango lassi is to die for! You won't regret it

We celebrated my wife's birthday at Tula, & what an experience it was! Every vegan dish was bursting with authentic Indian flavors, from the vibrant Snacks to the comforting Brunch Thali's. The mango lassi was creamy & refreshing, while the masala chai warmed the soul. But the real highlight was Abhishek-the most gracious host, whose warmth & world-class hospitality made us feel at home & turned a simple dinner into a celebration we'll never forget. A true hidden gem!

Last night, I was treated to an incredible meal here.
Our servers Abhi were exceptional, & we were very well cared for. Every detail of our menu was explained in detail so we always had a clear sense of what we were enjoying.
The food was outstanding! So many delectable bites of contrasting & complementary flavours with amuse-bouches & mignardises on top of the menu. My compliments to the chef & kitchen staff for creating an incredible menu. Their Vegan Mango Lassi is.to die for.
You won't be disappointed by such a gracious & welcoming staff & meal!

TULA translates to'Balanced' & that's exactly what this restaurant is all about. An extraordinary culinary experience - five stars all the way!! Such homely preparation, felt light yet tasty. Highly recommended for wholesome & scrumptious food lovers!
Food:
This isn't your typical Indian restaurant serving the usual paneer, butter naan & Jira rice. If that's what you're after, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you're seeking something truly unique, this place delivers in every way. The menu is thoughtfully curated, reflecting genuine passion & care in every dish. We liked it so much that we ate there 3 times during our 3 day stay in Montreal. Here are the things we tried & absolutely loved. I normally like to rank dishes but all dishes came #1.
- Koshimbir - a refreshing salad
- Grandma's Special Curry - reminded me of a version of avial
- Chapati - very home made feel
- Ragda Patties - yummy chat
- Tomato Soup - so good, my daughter loved it
- Gulkand Panna Cotta
- lunch thali - comes with 4 curries, 1 salad, rice, roti & dessert.
- jackfruit biriyani - this was out of the world.
- Burger - crispy & delicious
- Bombay sandwich - we made this to go & ate it after about 8 hours & it was scrumptious
- Weekend Brunch Thali - pongal, sambhar, chutney, desset. I dont know how he gets such diverse food SO right
- Lentil idlis - they had shredded carrots & green beans. So thoughtful about making healthy food.
- Ragi dosa - this is not in the menu but the owner surprised us with it. SO good.
- Mango lassi - tasted even better than the dairy mango lassi. This was made with coconut milk yogurt that they make it themselves. I mean talk about the incredible amount of detail & care poured into creating it.
- Hibiscus & ginger drink -
- Chai - this came with the cutest sugar container on the side (see picture). Owner said he got them Bali when he was travelling.
Host, Service & Place:
Exceptional service & hospitality! We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, yet were welcomed with genuine kindness. There was no rush - we were encouraged to take our time exploring the menu. The host, Abhishek, patiently walked us through each item, clearly passionate about the food & the experience he offers. What stood out most was - he even recommended other restaurants in town that he personally likes. How often do you see a restaurant owner do that? It was clear he is not running the business just for the money. Once we placed our order, the food arrived promptly & was absolutely delightful. It is a beautiful, boutique restaurant. The interior is beautifully designed with tasteful decor that creates a calming & inviting ambiance.
Overall, a great experience.

Really great experience at this vegan restaurant. The food is so balanced, fresh & digestible! Lots of flavour without being overly spiced or greasy & truly lives up to the restaurant's slogan! Service is super friendly. Atmosphere is so calming & welcoming. I recommend the mango lassi & the coconut curry.

TULA is 100% authentic & sublime. Made for us by us. This is truly one of the best vegan restaurants & the absolute best Indian restaurant in the city serving honest, innovative & exciting dishes that are healthful & true to the sophisticated compendium of ancient recipes. For those of you who know… you just know. For many thousands of years Tamil culinary customs & ancient traditions have scientifically researched, tested, & prescribed the healthiest food combinations of ingredients & perfected recipes. The idli is a must try. The idli may be one of the best I've ever tasted & I've had idli in Tamil Nadu & Rishikesh; it is fermented properly & steamed to perfection & served with a sumptuous sambar & chutney. It truly is the breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner of champions. The lunch thali is divine; the palak paneer is delicious, the salad is a bright & fresh delight, the dal is perfect, the rice is steamed to perfection with jeera, the aloo is amazing, & the payasam is absolutely luscious & lightly sweetened allowing the natural flavours to shine. The kulhad masala chai (specially requested with jaggery) is so delicious that I ordered a second one! The mango lassi is also amazing. TULA is such a welcomed & warm addition to the vegan & Indian selection of restaurants in the city. Without a doubt TULA is one of the best vegan & Indian restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of visiting anywhere in the entire world. This is world class & sophisticated cuisine whilst also being down-to-earth healthy home-cooking. Enjoy your meal! Peace & love & thanks to the folks at TULA for an amazing meal. I've been craving another visit ever since so I'm looking forward to their dinner menu next.

The first time I came here I didn't realize they hadn't opened yet & I had to leave soon after but I was greeted warmly by the worker or owner. They were so passionate, humble & kind & encouraged me to come back another time. I haven't had the chance yet but I was craving good & healthy restaurant food while stuck at home & had a feeling they would be an ethical business that doesn't use plastic. I assumed correctly, yay! so I just ordered 5 dishes with chapatis off skip the dishes that came in paper/bagasse packaging. Everything was impressive but the pindi cholle, tikka masala & lasooni dhaniya & chapatis were sooo amazing ! The other two dishes (vegan butter chicken, tofu achari) were great but I would recommend the other ones more. Hope I'll be able to get a taste of the chill & joyful restaurant environment sometime soon while trying more menu items because there are still so many. I'd definitely get delivery again too 🥡
Update: finally ate in resto & it was a vibe. Busy & slow but the owner gave me a chai tea & his kind service to make up for it. I had the vegan chicken tikka masala & the elderberry cucumber pineapple cocktail
I returned on a weekend for the brunch menu & it was divine. The owner puts so much love into the cooking & explaining the dishes. The vibe was peaceful. Here's what's on the plate : Porridge = millets & lentils & eaten with fresh coconut sauce (yellow), lentil stew with lots of veggies, Tofu scramble, Black chickpea salad, Potatoes boiled & seasoned, Sweet potato porridge, Crepes made with lentil flour, spinach & herbs & you eat that with tamarind sauce 🤍❤?
The plant based chicken veggie ginger stir fry is sooo delicious
Mango lassi too. Helped with the spice of the chili chicken which is really spicy beware!
I came back on a weekday to try the vegan chicken wrap. They give the option of mild or spicy & if you choose mild they use butter chicken. It was wrapped well so you could take it to go if you want & comes with sauces. The chapati used for the wrap was soft & went well with it.

Amazing experience - the host, the food & the ambience. Best host I have ever experienced made our experience worthwhile.Must visit for a unique experience. Loved Coconut Curd Mango Lassi - best I have ever had. Vegan food is another level. Biryanis, Pan Asian menu, Masala chai & Desserts - Sweet Potato Kheer & Panna Cota are to go for. Presentation was beautiful. Portions are good for the price. Everything on the menu is great. Will visit again for brunch & lunch 😊

Wow, énorme coup de coeur pour ce restaurant. De la nourriture indienne/ayurvédique saine, délicieuse & vibrante. Vraiment à découvrir. Mention spéciale au propriétaire, Abhi, dont l'amour pour ses clients se ressent dans chaque détail. Son attention, sa générosité & sa passion transparaissent jusque dans les assiettes! 🙏🏼 ❤?
Valérie
Wow. Je n'ai pas de mots pour décrire l'expérience inoubliable que j'ai vécu à Tula. Tout était parfait, la nourriture, le service & que dire du proprio, Abhi. Il a vraiment à coeur le bien-être de ses clients & cela transparaît jusque dans ses plats. La nourriture est de qualité supérieure, vegan, saine & exquise. Le « poulet » au beurre ainsi que le lassi sont définitivement à essayer.
Je recommande à 2000% ce restaurant, si vous hésitez à y allez, qu'attendez-vous ? C'est l'endroit que vous cherchez si vous voulez les meilleurs plats indiens/ayurvédiques.
Merci encore Abhi 🌈🙏☀?

Everything here is great, ambience is good, service amazing, food is top-notch. Love the energy the owner of the place carried. He is a true business man, warm & welcoming. He greeted every guest with same energy. I guess they have creatively curated the menu. Felt like trying everything on the menu. We didn't order many items as we already had food elsewhere but couldn't resist visiting the place. We ordered mango lassi , tofu kohliwada, gulkhand panacota. Our favorite is non-alcohol mango lassi, this is the first time I had lassi in my life & felt in love with it in my first sip. It had many hidden flavors & felt very refreshing. Tofu kohliwada was good, not greasy but felt it wasn't cooked well from inside. Dessert was good but felt the portion size could have been bigger for the price.
I would want to revisit the place again to try different items on the menu.
Best vegan Indian food. I've tried so far in Montreal.
Andrea
Love that the food is Indian & Vegan. I was impressed by the flavor & presentation of the Biryani. It's the best I have ever tried. It was colorful, & delicious. All the food was served hot & fresh. The mango lassi & the papadams were excellent. The homemade tamarind chutney is absolutely delicious & so fresh. It was the best we ever had. The owner was a pleasure to talk to & is passionate & enthusiastic about veganism. He was very generous & didn't even charge us for the extra things we asked for. If we lived in Montreal, we would definitely come here more.
Abigail
Amazing restaurant, & perfect for vegans & celiacs! Beautiful ambiance, lovely owners, & the best meal of my life! Everything is homemade & vegan & 99% of the menu is gluten free, & many of the recipes come from Abhi's grandmother. Absolutely delicious. They even have perfect gluten free chapati. Abhi (one of the owners) eschews gluten so it's very safe & the GF substitutes are beautiful. We had the potato & chickpea appetizer, the vegan chicken tikka masala, the black chickpea & black eyed pea ghassi (based on his grandmother's recipe!), jeera rice, gluten free chapati, & the rose panna cotta, which was like fairy food. Also had kombucha & tried the mango lassi with alcohol. Cannot recommend this place enough!
