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.

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.
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...
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.
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.

Merci beaucoup c'était une superbe expérience, je reviendrais très certainement & le recommande chaudement !
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!
Last night, I was treated to an incredible meal here.
Our servers Abhi were exceptional, & we were very well cared for. Every detail of our menu was explained in detail so we always had a clear sense of what we were enjoying.
The food was outstanding! So many delectable bites of contrasting & complementary flavours with amuse-bouches & mignardises on top of the menu. My compliments to the chef & kitchen staff for creating an incredible menu. Their Vegan Mango Lassi is.to die for.
You won't be disappointed by such a gracious & welcoming staff & meal!

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.

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.
Lovely place! The staff were incredibly friendly & made the experience all the more enjoyable. Great service & recommendations when we were struggling to choose from all the options. Food was delicious & rich & filling. Love to support fully vegan businesses! This place is worth checking out :)
If you're vegan & gluten-free, this restaurant is a wonderland. You can eat every single thing on the menu except for the French fries. I & my companions had the tasting menu, which included eight small tastes, each better than the last. Mine came with gluten-free chapati, which was delicious. The dishes included a tofu curry, a raita-inspired stew, a black-eyed pea dish, salad, mixed vegetables, pappadam, & the most luscious sweet potato cardamom dessert. I loved every bite. My non-vegan, gluten-eating companions also adored it. The service was gracious, helpful, & warm. We're definitely going back!
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.
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.
