Review Summary

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.

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.

You genuinely make good food it tastes great. But the sad part is, you add so much artificial color to everything, & for what? Has any customer ever said the look is more important than the taste?Please stop adding unnecessary color. Stay authentic the real flavor is already there, this is specifically South Indian food must not have color. We have the best tastiest food.

Authentic South Indian food in Montréal. One of the best Medu Vada & Sambar I have had so far in restaurants outside India. All the vegetarian dishes we ordered were yummy. A must try if you crave for South Indian food in Montréal.

Absolutely impressed with this spot! The dosa, idly, & vada are seriously next-level, authentic flavors that totally transport you. The staff? Super attentive, even hooking us up with extra chutney when our plates were running low (major bonus points!). Sure, the vibe in the dining area could be a bit more pleasant, but honestly, the food is so incredible, you won't even care. A must-try for any food lover craving true South Indian eats in Montreal!

A Hidden Gem of South Indian Flavors in Montreal

If you're craving authentic South Indian cuisine in Montreal, look no further than Arya.
Arya's menu is a delightful journey through South Indian staples, executed with precision & passion. The masala dosa is perfectly crisp, served with a generous portion of potato filling, coconut chutney, & sambar that's both hearty & flavorful.

Today, I ordered a breakfast combo from this restaurant. The dosa was good as every restaurant in Montreal. It came with two idlis, medu vada, chutney, & sambar. I found a hair on the idli. Additionally, the medu vada was too oily & stale. The sambar was also not tasty & didn't taste authentic, unlike what is served in South India.

Such an Amazing Food.. Especially Dosas..They have more than 50+ Varieties of Dosas..Most Unique Aspect of the Restaurant is they Open very Early around 8:30AM..I tried Parotta with Chettinad Chicken Curry which is top to the Core..I suggest this restaurant if anyone really need to go for Authentic Food..They Opened One more new Branch in Laval with Fine Dine-In..For sure will be visiting the Laval Branch also Soon..

Was visiting here from Halifax, Nova Scotia & was looking from some lite breakfast but ended up having a meal. Ordered Chilli Paneer Masala Dosa, loved it!!! It was light & loved the crispy dosa, reminded me of India. Recommend 110% to eat here. Taste is authentic, not too spicy , not to bland & customer service is very good. Moreover, I did not wait too long for my order. Please visit them.
