Tula propose un menu spécialisé centré sur des ingrédients 100% végétaux conçus pour les personnes soucieuses de leur santé et en quête d’une alimentation dense en nutriments. La cuisine privilégie des préparations végétaliennes créatives qui mettent en valeur les produits frais et les saveurs naturelles plutôt que des alternatives transformées. Les clients découvrent une sélection de bols, de salades et de compositions mettant en avant les légumes, priorisant la texture et l’équilibre nutritionnel dans chaque assiette. L’aménagement intérieur reflète cette mission végétale grâce à une esthétique minimaliste qui soutient l’accent mis sur des habitudes alimentaires saines et durables. Chaque article subit une préparation minutieuse afin de garantir que les phytonutriments restent préservés durant la cuisson. Cet établissement maintient un engagement envers la préservation environnementale en utilisant exclusivement des ingrédients issus de chaînes d’approvisionnement éthiques.
Tula est largement salué comme un véritable bijou culinaire végétalien, proposant une approche unique et authentique de la cuisine fusion indienne qui impressionne autant les végétaliens que les omnivores. Les clients soulignent constamment la grande qualité et la fraîcheur des ingrédients, notant que des plats comme le lassi à la mangue, le biryani et les divers currys sont savoureux, sains et préparés avec un soin évident. L'atmosphère est fréquemment décrite comme paisible, zen et accueillante, créant une ambiance chaleureuse qui favorise la détente. Au-delà de la nourriture, le service est un point fort incontournable, le propriétaire et le personnel recevant des éloges pour leur bienveillance, leur passion et leur attention personnelle, incluant des explications détaillées sur le menu et parfois des prestations spontanées qui enrichissent l'expérience. Bien que l'attente puisse parfois être longue en raison de sa popularité, le consensus général est que l'hospitalité attentionnée, la présentation soignée et les saveurs nourrissantes font de ce restaurant une destination mémorable où les visiteurs reviennent avec plaisir.
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!
Was at Montreal during the weekend & went to Tula. It felt like home cooked food. Abhishek takes time to talk to his clients & explain the dishes. Each one is better than the other & you want to try all of them. From the biryani, Butter chicken to the Thali there is something for everyone. I had the brunch Thali & went next day for the biryani. Was simply amazing & I will go back for sure. There are few restaurants that cater to gluten free & this one has most options. I still have the taste of the delicious food

The most delicious vegan Indian restaurant I have tried. The biryani is delectable & the Thali a feast for the senses. I am so pleased they have gluten free chapati! I'm looking forward to trying their brunch soon.
The brunch platter was EXCELLENT. So nice to have an option for brunch that's healthy but also full of variety & inspiring flavours. The lentil crepe served weigh it was especially good.
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!
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.
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.
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 😊
This was an amazing experience from the customer service to the delicious, flavorful food! We opted for the brunch platter, which Jasleen suggested & it was perfect. Jasleen was very helpful & passionate about the food. We will absolutely return!
