Overall, Dosa Express earns high marks for crispy, flavorful dosas in a wide range of styles from Mysore masala and ghee dosa to paneer masala and podi varieties, with idli, vada, uttapam, and generous sides of fresh chutneys and comforting sambar. Dishes are repeatedly praised for authentic South Indian flavors, large portions, and good value for money, with the dosas described as perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside. The coconut chutney and tomato chutney, along with the sambar, are frequently highlighted as standout accompaniments. Service is consistently friendly, fast, and attentive, with staff described as gracious and welcoming, contributing to a warm, homey atmosphere. The ambiance is noted as clean and bright overall, though a few reviews suggest room for atmosphere improvements. Many diners travel from across Montreal and beyond, calling it a must-visit for genuine South Indian food, and plan to return with family and friends.
Today I had paneer masala dosa, & it was one of the best I've ever tasted in Montreal. The service was great, & it was very clean. I'm definitely visiting again.

I recently tried the dosa & uttapam at hoping for authentic South Indian flavors, but it was a huge letdown. The dosa & uttapam arrived completely soggy, with the potato filling tasting off & under seasoned barely edible.
The sambar was the biggest disappointment: cold, watery, & lacking any real flavor. Even the sweet we ordered to end on a high note fell flat.
At these prices, I expect better quality & attention to detail. I won't be recommending this place or returning save your money & try elsewhere.
Tried , vada & idli with sambhar . Idli thick & sambhar is tasteless . Another dish was onion uttapam which was absolutely uncooked, thick & tasteless.
Service was lousy taking 25 minutes to serve , repeatedly asking to serve water , they have no time to listen .
I felt I wasted my $19 & time.
We've been getting food from Dosa Express since they first opened in Marché de l'Ouest, & their food has only gotten better at their new location. Their dosa is delicious, fresh & reasonably priced, & the owners are a pleasure!

I lived in South India for a year & this restaurant immediately brought me back to that wonderful place. The staff are kind & accommodating, the minimal decor is warm & inviting, & the food is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious, nutritious, & truly exotic dining experience. 5 stars all the way!
