Great food, great price only issue is sometimes the food isn't warm and I'll have to heat it up at home

Would I go back? 100% yes I would. The gol gappay were the most authentic I’ve had in Canada or US.. and the "paani" was exactly how it should be… spicy and flavorful. The paan was the best I tried in Montreal after checking a few other spots. Kadak chai was also very good. The place is tucked away and not the easiest to find but definitely worth it… so make sure you look hard.

We were warmly greeted by the very friendly owner, Mr. Mubashir, whose welcoming smile set the tone for a wonderful experience. We ordered Pani Puri, Dahi Puri, and Dahi Bhallay — each dish was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely authentic. It truly felt like time travel, taking us back to the nostalgic street food experiences we used to enjoy years ago in Sialkot. The prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous and satisfying. Whoever is visiting Montreal, just like us, must try Chahat Paani Puri and Paan — an authentic taste of home and hospitality!

Crawing satisfied. The most chapati dahi pani puri i had in canada. There is only 1 lady at the counter so waiting time is bit long but it's worth the wait. Not very clean or esthetic looking place but it serves what it's name claims.

This golgappe place is honestly one of the best I’ve tried. The golgappes are perfectly crispy, the pani is full of flavor and balanced just right—not too spicy, not too bland. Everything tastes fresh and well prepared. What really makes this place stand out is the excellent customer service. The owner is friendly, welcoming, and clearly cares about giving customers a great experience. He takes his time, listens to preferences, and serves with a smile. Great taste, great service, and a great vibe overall. Definitely a must-try if you love golgappes!
