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.

Tried this place for the first time with a group of 13 on the way of Montreal from Mont Tremblant, & we had a good experience. The staff was welcoming, & despite having a large menu, we got to try several dishes. The signature Mysore masala dosa & Onion Rava masala dosa were delicious. Even we got paneer butter masala for kids & that too was awesome. Everything tasted fresh.
I would say we had authentic south indian dosa & better than Gurulaxmi & everyone felt it. Chef Vijay was amazing. Washrooms were clean too.
Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone who loves South Indian cuisine or wants to try something unique & delicious. I'll definitely be coming back!

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 called up Cuisine Arya at 9:00am yesterday, as soon as they opened, as I needed to urgently place a lunch catering order for my office of 10 people. Emmanuel picked up right away & was so incredibly helpful. He helped me adjust my order to stay within our budget. We ordered biryani, butter chicken, white rice, & a vegetable curry, & the restaurant had the food ready in 1 hour!! It was delicious & fresh. I also highly recommend Cuisine Arya's South Indian specialties like dosa & idli. It's all delicious.
