Overall, diners describe Cuisine Arya as an authentic South Indian dining experience with flavorful, well presented dishes and generous portions. Dosas, idli, vada, sambar and chutney are highlighted for authenticity and balance, with many meals praised for fresh ingredients and bold spices. The menu ranges from classic dosas to thalis and curry dishes, including specialties like lamb or shrimp curries, and the results are consistently described as delicious and satisfying. Service is repeatedly noted as attentive, friendly, and accommodating, contributing to a welcoming, efficient atmosphere that pairs well with reasonable prices. While a few notes mention the dosa being slightly overcooked or a dish tasting a touch artificial, the overall consensus is that this spot offers high quality, authentic South Indian fare and good value, making it a standout option in Montreal's dining scene.
Excellent food & service. Exceptional South Indian restaurant in downtown Montreal. Excellent service provided by Vicky & the team taking care of each customer's individual requirements & needs. Have been going back regularly. The food brings the flavors of home right here to Montreal. Excellent delicious food unparalleled in Montreal not to mention the excellent service with emphasis on meeting the customer's needs
A must visit restaurant in Montreal.
We visited Aarya's Kitchen today for the Tamil New Year celebration, & it was an amazing experience. The authentic Tamilian meal served on a banana leaf was truly special. Every item had its own distinct flavour, & the variety was impressive. You could feel the effort & tradition in every bite. A wonderful festive meal - highly recommended.
Extremely disappointing. I ordered 5 chicken kothu rotis & one mutton one, also asked for it to be very spicy (repeated this 3 times & it was the worst kothu roti ever. It literally tasted like boiled dough & meat. It was even missing salt!!! Though I asked for it to be spicy 3 times, I don't think I saw a single green chili in there. It was the palest kothu roti I've ever seen. We also got the chicken rolls which were mostly potatoes with a dash of chicken & obviously overpriced. Would never order again, literally the worst (also expensive). Could find wayyy better for a fraction of the price
I went there on march 5. I spent almost 21 dollars & ended up taking a few bites & throwing the rest once I got home. I ordered the chicken 65. It tasted very bad.
The guy working there doesn't speak good english so it is hard for him to give details about the menu. I wanted chicken biryani, it was not available.
Also, some creepy man came up behind me. I dont know if he wanted to harass me or steal something from me but I felt someone behind me & the worker was just watching & did not care or say anything. I got scared. I did not feel safe.
Had a wonderful dining experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The service was attentive & friendly, & the ambiance made it even more enjoyable. Definitely coming back!

Had an amazing experience at Cuisine Arya (Authentic South Indian) in Montreal. The food was absolutely delicious & truly authentic South Indian-full of flavor & made just right. You can really tell the quality & care that goes into each dish. The owner was incredibly helpful, kind, & provided extraordinary service, which made the experience even more special. Overall, a great place for authentic South Indian food, & I'd highly recommend it.
Hidden gem between mcgill & peel metro.
The dosa & vada are delectable along with savory samabhar.
The service is professional, Laxmu & Yogeswari are polite & attentive.
The prices, ambiance & food resonate well with each other.
