Une vraie pépite ce restaurant! C est bon, vraiment bon & sain. Quant au patron! Un passionné absolument adorable. Il vous explique ces plats avec tant d amour! J y retournerai avec plaisir!
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
Amazing choices for clean Indian food. I only like home-cooked Indian. But this place beats even home cooked. Not a vegan but still loved the place for it clean & authentic food choices. No extra oil, no added sugar. & still the drinks & desserts tasted delightful. The best part was the enthusiasm of the owner. The way he talks about his food shows the dedication. This actually gave me a hope for good, clean eating outside the house. Great work Abhishek, keep the good work up...
Amazing experience always! The owner is extremely nice & explains the menu well. Mango lassi is to die for! You won't regret it
Tula was an absolute delight. The restaurant opens for dinner at 5pm & we got there between 5:15 & 5:30; we were the first patrons. The restaurant was packed by 6:30 & we also saw many take out orders. We learned later that the owner & chef/menu creator himself follows a gluten free & vegan diet. This made sense as the menu was 100% vegan & 99% gluten free.
We started with masala chai, which hit the spot after a long day. The chai was served in a little matki (clay pot) & was aromatic.
For our appetizer we ordered the ragda patties, a street food. It was served in a small copper skillet. The dish was made very well with authentic flavors throughout. The potato patties were topped with the ragda (chickpea gravy) & garnished with sev (thin fried crispy noodles made from gram flour) & the traditional green/coriander & sweet/tamrind chutneys. Every bite had flavor. It's a big dish & perfect to share.
For our entree we split two dishes. We ordered the tofu tikka masala & jeera aloo mutter with two rotis (1 regular & 1 gluten free). The tofu tikka masala was seriously comforting. The dish tasted like it was homemade, was packed with flavor from simple ingredients & earthy spices. The jeera aloo mutter is a dry dish & mild. For us it worked well to use the gravy from the tofu tikka masala with the jeera aloo mutter. A simple dish, but very comforting. We were thoroughly impressed with the GF roti! The texture & taste were exactly like regular wheat roti…compliments to the chef for nailing it!
& finally for dessert we ordered what Chef Abhishek called a beautiful choice. The gulkand panna cotta. The flavors of this dessert are inspired by paan. Oh my god, this dessert really was insane. It captured the flavors & textures of paan without being overly bearing on either. The shredded coconut atop the panna cotta was'the icing on the cake.'
We chatted with Chef Abhishek to learn more about his inspiration & compliment him on his restaurant & menu. We learned that Tula means Balance in Sanskrit. He took everyone's orders & would take time to talk to all patrons.
This was an absolute gem. Chef Abhishek also shared his thoughts & execution for lunch/brunch. We wish we could have come back the following day to try out the lunch thali, which looks very unique/creative.
Abhi was wonderfully welcoming, & the food was excellent. We enjoyed the discovery dinner & would highly recommend it. The brunch menu also looked fantastic - something to try on our next visit. Thank you, Abhi!
What a gem at the heart of the city!! I'm so grateful my beautiful girlfriend brought me here for lunch! The food was beyond incredible… a perfect combination of exceptional taste & health, knowing that Ayurvedic principles are the foundation to their recipes. Every dish we experienced in the lunch platter was beyond delicious, & I absolutely loved the calm, rejuvenating feeling of TULA's decor. I'd give it a 6th star if I could. DEFINITELY going back next time I'm in town.
Tula is such a gem in Montreal - the food is absolutely delicious & the owner is truly adorable.
