Service is repeatedly highlighted as fast and attentive, with the staff and owner described as friendly and accommodating. The menu also features specialties such as lamb kothu parotta and shrimp curry that many find aromatic and well balanced, reinforcing the sense of genuine Indian home style cooking. The atmosphere is consistently described as welcoming and convenient for quick lunches or take away, and the restaurant is regarded as a downtown gem with high quality and value.

Took the combo of masala dosa with idli,
Chutney & sambhar were nice, idli was soft (not fresh)
The dosa was slightly overcooked, & very thin.

Yummy flavored food & well made Masala tea. Efficient & attentive service, varieties of fresh choices. Our service person was Raz, very friendly & professional. Indian students come here often to book a long term combo, we believe it's a reliable Indian foodie place.

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.

Very good South Indian place. We had the masala dosas & idlis & the food quality & service was pretty good. It's on the lower level inside a mall so might be a little tricky to find.

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.
