Amazing food. Aalo kheema was great. Music was a bit too loud, that's the only negative.

I came to Mama Khan from Ottawa to especially share this meal with a friend on my birthday. This was my second time at the restaurant and the last time I came was a decent experience and the food was good. Last night, my friend and I went to the restaurant. The food was still quite decent. Here is some constructive feedback for the restaurant. The server needs to be trained on how to serve properly. We had to remind him of napkins, water, straw individually. He was polite but not very competent. The restaurant had no cold drinks. When I asked the server for drink options, he said there was nothing except tap water. Later he shared that there were some options for soda. He gave us some lukewarm sodas with terribly straws that did not work. The bathroom (toilet) was incredibly dirty. We went to wash our hands and came out feeling dirtier. Overall, while the food was decent, our experience was not good. I am from Pakistan and understand dhaba style dining and can tolerate a lot more than my fellow Canadians who don't understand if the service is part of "authentic" experience or not. As a proud Pakistani Canadian, I would love Mama Khan to invest in some basics for their restaurant. The food is good, experience needs to be so much better. I shared my feedback with the server as well because the things I pointed out can be fixed with some effort. Bottled water, cold drinks, clean bathrooms, better straws (even from dollar store) - some minor changes that can make this a much better experience for all who want to support the business.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for coming from Ottawa to dine with us, especially on your birthday. We appreciate the support and the honesty. We’re glad you enjoyed the food. At the same time, we want to be clear that service and cleanliness are not part of any “authentic” experience, and we take those standards seriously. The server you encountered is new and currently in training, but we agree that the level of attentiveness you described is not where it should be. That has been addressed with our team. We do carry cold drinks and a full selection of sodas, and we’re reviewing what went wrong in that interaction to ensure better communication moving forward. Regarding the straws, Montreal regulations prohibit single-use plastic straws, so we provide compliant alternatives, even though they may not always offer the same experience. We’ve also taken note of your comments regarding cleanliness, as this is something we do not take lightly and are reinforcing immediately. We appreciate you bringing these points to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better overall experience next time.

Just okay. Too expensive for what it is—$40 for rice and chicken isn’t worth it.

Hey Eman thank you for the review. What was your order? Our rice is 7$ and our most expensive chicken dish is 20$. If it was just rice and chicken I wanted to know how it added up to more than 40$. There’s also a thali special we offer for 19$. Two portions of either meat or vegetarian dishes includes rice and naan.

Authentic halal Peshawari kebab!! Super flavourful and spice levels can be adjusted if you inform the staff. Must try this if you are visiting the area.

Enjoyed the minced meat kebab and paratha. The bright pink rosewater drink wasn't really for me. Wish they had a lamb option that didn't take 30 minutes to prepare. Pleasant and accommodating service for our large group on a weekday.

The portions are small and the prices are high. The food also lacked flavor. Overall, not good value for money.

Extremely overpriced for very mediocre food. The quality does not justify the prices at all. I would not recommend this place.

Very good food. The naan’s are their highlight. Tandoori chicken is well prepared too. Although the butter chicken was slightly too sweet. Overall a great restaurant. Would recommend again!

We were visiting Montreal and searching for halal food and based on Google reviews we ordered food from them. The serving size was too small, although it mentioned 2 person serving on the website but it wasn't even enough for 1. Tandoori chicken was so burnt that it was black in color. Same was with chicken kababs. Karahi was tasteless not even close to Pakistani food. Also, on the website free soup was offered and I added it to my order but I didn't receive it. I won't recommend this restaurant.

We had the butter chicken, lamb kharayi (sp?) and beef chapali kebab with rice biryani and chapati. They curated the spice expertly. I said we were debutants but spice curious and they delivered a palate challenge that gives me confidence to push further next time. will definitely be back for what looks like a metre long naan..
