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.
Hi! I recently visited Dosa Express, & it was an amazing experience! The food is absolutely delicious with an authentic taste that truly stands out. Every bite felt fresh & full of flavor.
The staff are incredibly kind & friendly, making the atmosphere warm & welcoming. The owner is also very polite & attentive, which adds a personal touch to the whole experience.
If you really want to enjoy authentic dosa, this is definitely a place you should visit at least once. The prices are very reasonable for the quality & portion you get.
Tried dosa, idli, & vada here recently. Everything tasted really authentic & had a unique flavor you don't usually find everywhere. The chutneys were fresh & well-made, which made the whole experience even better.
Definitely worth trying if you enjoy good South Indian food!

The dosa was perfectly crispy with flavorful filling & the chutneys & sambar tasted incredibly fresh. Definitely a must-visit if you're craving authentic South Indian flavors in Montreal!
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.

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!
Finally found the best dosa in Montreal! This was my first time at Dosa Express in DDO, & as a huge dosa lover, I was blown away. The highlight for me is that they offer a ghee option, so you can enjoy your meal without refined oils, total game changer.
I ordered the Ghee Mysore Masala Dosa & the Ghee Plain Dosa. The Mysore masala was incredibly flavorful, & the portions are massive ( one os enough for two people to share). The sambar was soothing & perfectly consistent, no oily film on top, & the chutneys tasted fresh & simple. Highly recommend if you want an authentic, high quality meal!
