Cuisine Arya in Montreal receives praise for authentic South Indian cooking, with a wide range of dosas, fluffy idli, and savory vada accompanied by flavorful chutneys and sambar, while portions are noted as generous and prices affordable. 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. Some comments mention occasional inconsistencies such as a dosa being slightly overcooked or chutney amounts, or the space feeling a bit small, but these are outweighed by overall satisfaction with flavor, authenticity, and reliable service. Overall, Cuisine Arya is highly recommended for anyone seeking true South Indian cuisine in Montreal, delivering flavorful dishes, generous portions, and dependable, friendly service.

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.

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!

I ordered breakfast combos from here with has dosa, idli, & vada. Food is affordable & tasty. Chutney was a bit salty & very less in quantity. Overall I am satisfied with the taste & the price for the breakfast combos here.

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.
