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.
J'ai déjà hâte à ma prochaine visite. Nous étions une famille de 5 & chacun de nos plats étaient absolument d-é-l-i-c-i-e-u-x. Des portions généreuses, un service amical, un très bel espace. Je vais recommander ce resto à tous mes ami-e-s.
Le meilleur repas végan que j'ai mangé depuis longtemps! Ambiance relax. Service absolument merveilleux. Le serveur nous à conseillé des plats dans chaque catégorie selon nos goûts & ils étaient tous absolument délicieux. Les breuvages égalements. Je recommande sans hésitation. Déjà hâte d'y retourner pour essayer le reste du menu. Encore Merci pour le bon service, tellement gentil & attentionné. & la nourriture était absolument délicieuse.
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.
Simply the best Indian restaurant in Montreal! Upon entry, the staff makes you feel very welcome & at home. Food ticks all the boxes (healthy, fresh, tasty & so yummy 😋)
2 years later & I'm still coming back, highly recommend!
Meilleur restaurant Indien à Montréal. Plusieurs options sans gluten. Le service est exceptionnel & la nourriture est délicieuse. Je recommande fortement. 100% végétalien.
Wonderful rich delicious Southern Indian vegan fare. Wonderful service! Abhi is a lovely person full of warmth & joy. I couldn't recommend it more highly. I loved the music in there.

We had an incredible dining experience that brought back so many memories of home. The jackfruit biryani was absolutely mind-blowing-easily the best biryani we've had in Montreal! The coconut curry was bursting with flavor & warmth-it tasted just like something made in a home kitchen, full of love & nostalgia.
A special shout-out to Abhishek, who was an exceptional host. Despite us arriving just 30 minutes before closing, he welcomed us with a big smile & made sure we felt right at home. He suggested the best dishes that could still be freshly prepared, & everything exceeded our expectations.
Highly recommended for anyone craving truly authentic Indian flavors. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
The food was perfectly balanced with flavour & substances without being overly spicy. The staff is very friendly & accommodating for both French & English service. Cannot recommend this place enough. My non-Vegan husband simply couldn't wait to go back again the second day. Ahbi is super friendly & give you a warm welcome that makes you feel right at home.
Unfortunately I lost the pictures but that just means I have to go back & take some more
The food was absolutely delicious - every bite was full of flavor & clearly made with care. On top of that, the owner was incredibly well-spoken & welcoming, which added a personal touch to the whole experience. Overall, a great spot with excellent food & warm hospitality. Highly recommend!

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.
Superbe nourriture remplis de belles vibrations. Nous sommes allés entre amis & nous avons été super bien accueillis avec beaucoup d'amour. Tous étaient super, du service à la nourriture à l'ambiance à l'environnement. Je recommande!
Food was excellent!!! Food was freshly made which made it take a long time.. But worth it in my opinion. I wish the layout was a bit less crowded but decor & service was great. So if you're looking for great vegan food & have the time to sit & relax I'd totally recommend.
By far the best restaurant in Montreal, service is 10/10 & the food is to die for. Vegan too! Can't recommend this place enough, will definitely be back :)
I don't usually write long reviews, but this one definitely deserves it. Being from India- right from the capital, Delhi - I know what authentic Indian food tastes like. After living abroad for so many years, I've rarely come across Indian restaurants that truly hit the mark. I never walk in with high hopes anymore.
But TULA has cracked it. The authenticity, the creativity, the balance of flavors- everything was just on point. What blew me away even more? It's fully vegan, yet better than most traditional Indian food I've had at other places. The quality was top-notch.
We tried the Achari Tofu Masala, Biryani, & two desserts - & all I can say is: Incredible & soulful food.
I highly, highly recommend giving their food a try. This place is something special ❤?
