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.

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!

The south indian platter was fresh & delicious. My husband ate chicken biryani which also was pretty good. The owner was very welcome & suggested local places we can explore.

Excellent food & service. Exceptional South Indian restaurant in downtown Montreal. Excellent service provided by Vicky & the team taking care of each customer's individual requirements & needs. Have been going back regularly. The food brings the flavors of home right here to Montreal. Excellent delicious food unparalleled in Montreal not to mention the excellent service with emphasis on meeting the customer's needs
A must visit restaurant in Montreal. Had a memorable Mother's Day feast befitting a Maharani. Delicious mouth watering dishes with superb service by Vicky. I eagerly await my next meal at Arya's. Kudos to the entire team at Arya's for an excellent job. Keep up the mouth watering dishes & excellent service

As a first time trying indian food.. I liked it & it was tasty but too spicy for someone who can't eat spicy food.

Had an amazing experience at Cuisine Arya (Authentic South Indian) in Montreal. The food was absolutely delicious & truly authentic South Indian-full of flavor & made just right. You can really tell the quality & care that goes into each dish. The owner was incredibly helpful, kind, & provided extraordinary service, which made the experience even more special. Overall, a great place for authentic South Indian food, & I'd highly recommend it.

You can get good dosa anywhere in Montreal, but only here will you find the Best South Indian Sambar 😋

Very good restaurant for quick dine in & take away. We were on our way back from Quebec city to Toronto by VIA rail when we had to break in Montreal for 2 hrs when we wanted to taste south indian food. This place did not disappoint with their variety of dosas & parottas with curries. Quick & quality food. Parotta could have been little softer but nothing to complain.
