Les avis sur Tula s’accordent à décrire une expérience indienne entièrement vegan qui surprend par son équilibre et sa créativité: des plats riches en saveurs mais légers, des mélanges régionaux authentiques et des revisites audacieuses comme un biryani de jackfruit ou un tikka masala vegan, accompagnés de desserts délicats et de mango lassi ou chai épicé; la carte met aussi en avant des options sans gluten et des plats à partager, ce qui permet de goûter à de nombreuses préparations sans lourdeur. Le service est fréquemment salué pour son accueil chaleureux, ses explications et son souci du détail, et l’équipe crée une atmosphère calme et conviviale qui ressemble à un dîner entre amis. Le cadre intérieur apaisant et soigné contribue à une expérience globalement très positive et mémorable, faisant de ce restaurant une adresse à tester absolument pour les amateurs de cuisine indienne saine, inventive et généreuse et invitant à revenir pour brunch, déjeuner ou dîner.
In Montreal, Tula brings out the best in Indian Vegan food. Each item on the menu speaks quality & appeal to the senses, while the food tastes scrumptious. I enjoy going there for a satisfying meal. Their masala chai is a must.
A tad slow but absolutely worth it. Delicious, original Indian fare obviously prepared with care & pride. Warm friendly atmosphere. Delightful. Our go to Indian restaurant from now on
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! This Indian vegan restaurant is a true hidden gem. You can taste the love & intention in every bite from the perfectly balanced spices to the freshness of the ingredients. Every dish feels like it was made with care, not just cooked.
What really sets this place apart is the owner has such a warm, genuine person who goes out of their way to connect with every table. It's rare to find someone who's not only passionate about the food but also about the people enjoying it. You can tell this isn't just a business; it's a labor of love & community! 10/10 recommend, especially if you're vegan &/or gluten free :)
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...
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.

In a city with no shortage of Indian cuisine, Tula stands in a class of its own. Abhi's menu is a thoughtful exploration of India's rich vegetarian heritage, artfully crafted to showcase the nuance & complexity of regional flavors. This is a departure from the familiar, offering a genuine taste of'satvik' tradition-food that is pure, balanced, & incredibly flavorful without being heavy. For those seeking an authentic & elevated Indian dining experience, I cannot recommend Tula highly enough.
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!
Highly recommended for vegan Indian cuisine! 🌱 The food is absolutely delicious & authentic, bursting with rich flavors. Manager Abi radiates positive energy. He takes the time to explain the menu carefully & ensures you find exactly what you'll love. The atmosphere is both relaxing & welcoming, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Amazing experience trying indian food. The atmosphere is lovely & decorated nicely. The food is well balanced. You can ordered the menu that come with small dishes so you can try many things. The Tigga masala is super good. Love it. Thank you for Abi for taking a good care of every customer & giving the time to explain the food. We were absolutely enjoy the 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.
Great place with lots of gluten free options! The owner came to talk to us personally about the menu. Had no issues as a celiac. As a bonus the food is not doused in heavy oils like other Indian places.
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.
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!
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!
