About

Cuisine Arya serves traditional South Indian dishes characterized by deep, authentic spices and careful preparation. The kitchen creates crispy dosas and light, fluffy idli alongside savory vadas and aromatic biryani that capture the essence of home-style cooking. Every plate relies on fresh ingredients to build complex layers of flavor throughout the menu. The preparations prioritize genuine, traditional textures and tastes, maintaining a focus on simple and honest food profiles. While the current recipes deliver a distinct and bold profile, there is an ongoing movement toward minimizing artificial coloring to let the natural colors of the spices shine through. This establishment provides a straightforward and reliable connection to the heart of South Indian heritage through its diverse, well-spiced, and aromatic offerings.

We stopped by at Cuisine Arya at the Mont Royal Shopping Centre for lunch. They actually operate as a fastfood restaurant serving Indian cuisine which we didn't know. We ordered two combo meals. The person at the counter said it will be too much food for the two of us. Then we changed it to one combo meal & one serving of noodle. The combo meal was served shortly after- we realized that we won't be able to finish even this one combo meal. They gladly cancelled the noodle order although they probably started preparing it. We appreciate their sincerity & willingness for helping customers.

Taste of various items in the combo meal were very much similar to what you would expect at a typical sit-down restaurant. If you are in a hurry & looking for Indian foods, this is the place to consider. There is a sitting area next to it where you can enjoy the food. We will definitely stop by again next time we are around the area.

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.

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.
