No complain for food. But service is too slow i gave an order and i have been waiting untill more than 40 min for just 3 items. And the guy at the front desk is so rude. He is not accepting his mistake and teaching me that this how it takes time. Really, this is how you treat your customers. After 40 min the guys is coming from Inside and telling me that they dont have noodles . Seriously man If you guys cant tackle the customers than why you are taking orders. Just say no to them.

Hi Saif, we’re sorry to hear that you had a frustrating experience. We understand that waiting for your order for that long can be disappointing, and we sincerely apologize for the delay. However, we would like to clarify that your order consisted of approximately 6 or more items, not 3 items, as mentioned in the review. We also understand your frustration regarding the noodles and agree that if an item is unavailable, this should be communicated to the customer as soon as possible. We take your comments about the service seriously and will use this as an opportunity to improve our communication and service during busy periods. We appreciate you mentioning that you enjoyed the food, and we hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide you with the experience we aim to give every customer.

Really enjoyed my experience at Desi Tadka in Montreal! I ordered the chicken thali, halwa puri, and chai, and everything was delicious. The chicken thali was flavorful and satisfying, and the halwa puri was especially good, it had that authentic South Asian taste I was looking for. The chai was also a perfect way to finish the meal. If you’re looking for authentic Indian and Pakistani food in Montreal, Desi Tadka is definitely worth trying. Great option for anyone craving a hearty thali, halwa puri, and traditional chai!

Open early in the morning, this spot was perfect for the four of us looking for breakfast in Montreal. We ordered Nihari, Daal Masoor, Lamb Paya, and Haleem with plain naan. The food was superb! Huge appreciation to the chef behind the scenes for making such a great meal.
