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!

Guy at the counter was super nice, he even gave us a complimentary treat! Food was fantastic (I had a paneer masala dosa) & portions were large.

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

A Hidden Gem of South Indian Flavors in Montreal

If you're craving authentic South Indian cuisine in Montreal, look no further than Arya.
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.
