The service is widely regarded as exceptional, with the owner and staff frequently highlighted for their genuine passion, attention to detail, and personalized approach to explaining the menu. While a few visitors noted long wait times or specific service inconsistencies, the overwhelming majority of guests express deep appreciation for the complex flavors, the unique, Ayurvedic-inspired menu, and the inclusive, hospitable environment that keeps them returning time and again.
We loved this restaurant so much. Every single item on the menu from mango lassi to vegan chicken to thali was flavorful & fresh. I couldn't believe everything was vegan & tasted so good (as most of the vegan places I've been to in the past have only had a few good items). The masala chai just sealed the deal after I devoured that yummy Thali. My 14 month old also went'mmmhhh' with every bite of the roti & tofu curry. I wish Abhishek (the owner) loads of good luck & success in expansion of his business & remain hopeful that he will consider bringing some of his vegan wisdom over the border to greater Boston area (we were visiting Montreal from here).
He is a very good host & paid attention to each & every one of his customers individually even though the restaurant is busy! He shared stories from his own life & listened to ours & made this experience so memorable that my son wouldn't want to leave his side lol.
Already looking forward to visiting Tula again when we do back to Montreal
Good food full of flavor. Tried the brunch menu as well as the lunch thali which was good but overpriced in my opinion. I will repeat occasionally but I am not vegan & tofu is an acquired taste. I personally don't like the taste of tofu at all. In fact even though majority Indians eat vegetarian food on a daily basis, Indians are not vegan. Dairy consumption in India is very high & eaten with almost every meal in some form. It would have been nice if the owner also had dairy based vegetarian options like paneer at least. Overall I would say good food but overpriced & the vegan menu is a limitation for Indians who do consume dairy (vegetarian restaurant would have been better) but I understand the restaurant is differentiating itself by being a vegan restaurant

This place is absolutely amazing! Their food was exquisite, decor so relaxing & zen, & the owner was so friendly! Can't wait to try their thali ( weekdays only) & brunch thali on weekends…. Soooooo goooood The desserts ( adorned with edible flowers) are so pretty, colourful, & oh so good! The mango lassis were creamy, light , so flavourful, just perfect! Everything has its own special flavour, really must try!
What a nice surprise to find Tula. Such kind people. A beautiful serene ambiance, lovely warm greeting & a brunch thali plate that was absolutely delicious - it was so incredibly flavourful that, as my partner put it, it made our "palates dance" Thank you! All the stars!
What a delight it was to have stumbled upon this vegan restaurant for lunch. The owner takes great pride in serving the food he grew up with from Mumbai. We both had the Thali & everything was absolutely delectable, so flavourful. The restaurant is cozy with a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely return to Tula on our next visit to Montreal.
Amazing Vegan Indian Food at Tula! I had the pleasure of dining at Tula, & it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The chef's passion for creating flavorful, plant-based Indian dishes truly shines through in every bite. I tried the thali, which was an amazing combination of different flavors & textures, all perfectly balanced. The achaari tofu was especially mouth-watering, with a delicious tangy marinade that was perfectly spiced. Even the salad, with its fresh ingredients & flavorful dressing, was a standout. But the real showstopper was the sweet potato pudding - it was out of this world! A must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant. I can't recommend Tula enough for anyone looking for delicious vegan Indian food. Will definitely be back!
I had the pleasure of dining at Tula with my wife twice during our stay in Montreal, & I must say, it exceeded our expectations both times. Tula offers a variety of healthy & flavorful vegan dishes that truly stand out. Their thali, in particular, is a must-try. It showcases an array of flavors from different regions of India, offering a rich & diverse culinary experience. Abhishek, took the time to explain each item included in the thali, which added a personal touch to our meal. What impressed us the most was how well-prepared the food was, with minimal oil, yet packed with flavor. It had a comforting, home-cooked feel, reminding us of traditional meals we've had back home. We also appreciated the ambiance & service, both of which made our visits even more enjoyable. Whether you're vegan or not, Tula is a great place to experience wholesome, satisfying food.
Tula is the ONLY restaurant in the city I would recommend for a great Indian food experience - even if you aren't vegan. Unlike most Indian restaurants that offer the predictable line-up of naans & paneer dishes, Tula's menu captures the diverse flavour profile of Indian cuisine - from North to South India. Clearly, a great deal of thought & effort have gone into crafting each dish. The original taste & texture are preserved (if not enhanced!) even with use of vegan substitutes . I highly recommend trying the thali on your first visit.
Delicious vegan food. This restaurant is the proof that we can eat healthy & very well. The owner is very nice & it feels like he's an old friend. We come here every month with my friends to taste the thalis, they're awesome & you can taste a bit of everything :-) They change every month. I highly encourage you to come here & support this wonderful business.
