Krishna Sweet Inc — Local services in Montreal

I was so lucky to find Krishna Sweets. I was regularly shopping at the big Indian grocery store in the West Island of Montreal on sorts of boulevard North and they carried these great samosas and I was hooked once I tasted them. I kept going back every couple of weeks and eventually they said they weren't carrying them anymore and I went back in a couple of times until I ran into the Young business savvy and very kind-hearted manager and he gave me the name and phone number of Krishna sweets because they weren't going to carry the samosas. I tried a restaurant and samosa manufacturer from across the street and good grief, not even close! I tried the Costco one dozen 6 + 6 pack in the freezer and it was pretty fair in fact. Also a buddy told me that Walmart bakery section sells a nice samosa. But there's no way that they could come close to the Krishna suites excellent samosa product. I googled the location and I went in and I met the charming warm friendly and intelligent fellow behind the counter and I imagine it's family business I'm guessing the lady answering the phone to give me locations inside of that building a big huge tons of hallway and doorways kind of building that was in very good condition and modern looking, but my back goes out and I can't walk distances so I called to find out which way to go. I found it she told me where to turn I found it and I went in and there it was a hard-working place probably more kitchen in the back I'm cooking areas then in the front where they displayed some of their wares. A fella was there before me and he had a big hand truck with giant wheels and three or four large cartons. I asked him hey so it looks like you like this stuff here what did you get? He said they're all samosas. Talk about a good size order. I told the nice young man the boss guy where I'd found them and what experience I had and we shared some information and it turns out that he supplies all the Indian restaurants and grocery stores that I've gone to over the years and I asked them about one restaurant whose name I forgot a certain location that used to be very good like 15 years ago and he says yep it's still there different owner they still buy my samosas. And he knew all the places. A true professional of his industry and making a really great product. While I waited for him to come out I I'd the see-through glass counters that had sweets. I've seen tons of Indian sweets before but I've never seen many of the design styles and colorings that he has. Next time I go back to stock up on a couple of dozen samosas at once, I'll probably fill up a box full of sweets as well. Maybe a dozen for me and a dozen as a gift if I'm doing a supper with some friends. I was very pleased to meet him and it turns out when I was in the West Island but he's still there and in a very nice area by the way. With good family values and I think that's exactly the type of fine person he is and the hard work that they're putting into their product creation, and the distribution they're doing, is very impressive. . Thank you Krishna Sweets for being there and having those amazing samosas and I'll definitely try the sweets the next time I come...

Finishing dance class,I noticed a stream of people largely of Indian origin coming out of the same building while on my cell phone in the adjacent parking lot Naturally I was interested in the activity and their yellow shopping bags. Within minutes I was amidst a mob of people. Empty ornate boxes and a required plastic glove,I was offered a sample box (very thoughtful) and then ushered into this huge room filled with Indian pastries and finger foods . It was overwhelming. Little did I know that this was Krishna Sweets Annual Diwali Sale and a holiday of celebration and prayer for the freedom of kings and a possible explanation for the enormous diversity of choice. There are no meats and vegetables in their product. Nuts ,grains and milk are the primary ingredients While writing this review ,I have tried three selections,the names of which I don't know and all were delicious with an emphasis on pastries that are not too sweet. Names and selection help are available in their store next door

As are most family ethnic businesses,their history is of interest. The owners came to Canada,worked 9-5 jobs and then returned to India looking for an investment where a love of pastries became their mantra. Krishna Sweets has been in business for 15 years on Bates Rd. near the Julep but the location on Mazurette represents a big expansion. It was an eye opening experience and the pastries I fully recommend . As per the Indian culture, you fill your box or boxes with product and pay by the weight of your choice it's reasonable, family are super nice...

Normally very good at Diwali not in 2024.. Kalakand pieces.. people picking up and putting back stuff especially young kids..the sweeper ( does he have no common sense) in the way all the time..one bite of samosa and dripping in oil....at $$$$$$. Please supervise when leaving the sweets and savories out in the open..I think maybe too much demand this year caused your standards to drop...I'll be back based on past experience...please watch the hygiene at Diwali time..just giving a glove at the entrance and trusting people is not good enough..

------update

You missed the point..your standards were not maintained.

Young kids touching the sweets parent telling them to put it back.

Fresh batches coming out every 15 mins...maybe not giving it the same attention....samosas drained in oil..

Many sweets crushed the whole kalaksnd tray...that should have failed the quality check.

Watch the hygiene Watch the quality Ensure the sweeper respects customer space and wait for convenient time to sweep.

If you had staff available they should call out customers and kids touching sweets and abandoning sweet boxes.

Your price is high ..so highest...
