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.
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
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.
