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.
This is a must try! The best dosadosa spot in & around Montreal. We came all the way from Brossard to give it a try & it did not disappoint! The service & staff were great as well. Will be back;
I had 3 idlis, 2 vadas, & this amazing Ghee Podi Dosa. Every bite was pure bliss! The chutneys were top-notch especially the coconut & tomato full of flavor, perfect texture, & quantity.
Service super fast & friendly.Hygiene Clean & well-maintained place.
Felt just like homecooked food, like something made with love by mom. ❤?
Perfect taste, quality, quantity everything was spot on 😍👌
The dosa here is simply amazing-crispy, flavorful, & served fresh every time🫶🏻. The idli is soft & fluffy, & everything tastes so authentic & delicious. It truly feels like a taste of South India. The service is warm, & the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. If you love dosa & idli like I do, this is definitely the place to go!❤?❤?
We stumbled upon Dosa Express by chance while searching for a place open on Labour Day-& what a lucky find it turned out to be! Not only were they open, but they also graciously accommodated our group of eight without any hassle.
The dosas were absolutely outstanding. We tried the Masala, Podi, Mysore Masala, & Karam dosas-each one packed with flavor & perfectly crisped. We also ordered three plates of idlis, which were soft, fluffy, & steamed to perfection. The sambar was flavorful, & not overly spicy, making it a great complement to the meal.
Beyond the delicious food, the service was truly exceptional. A special shout-out to Venki & his team for their warm hospitality & attentiveness throughout our visit.
We left happy & full-& we'll definitely be coming back for more!
Oh my gosh. I'm visiting from the U.S. (Washington state). My family took us out to the new location of Dosa Express. It was phenomenal. Our group tried 9 different dosas (masala, karam, mysore masala, plain, etc.). Each & every dosa was delicious... got their podi too. Their idlis were amazing! The service was also fantastic... owner Venkie was gracious & very accommodating. This place is a must visit.
Dropped into the new location on sources
They are still setting up but we were able have a quick lunch Dosa was amazing
This is truly comfort food
Highly recommend

By far the best dosa I've ever had, with the best service! I got the cheese dosa & a rose milk. The dosa was perfectly crispy on the outside & softer on the inside, delicious!! A must try 😋
Absolutely delightful! The taste of the dosas at Dosa Express in DDO was simply outstanding-crispy on the outside, soft & flavorful on the inside, with the perfect balance of spices. The menu offered a fantastic variety, from the classic Masala Dosa to creative fusion options, each one bursting with authentic South Indian flavors.
The sambar & chutneys were freshly made, aromatic, & complemented the dosas beautifully. The presentation was also impressive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Every bite felt like a true culinary journey to the heart of South India.
I highly recommend Dosa Express to anyone craving authentic, high-quality dosas served with warmth & efficiency. This place has definitely set the bar high for dosa spots worldwide! Went to eat two consecutive days & will be coming back for sure.
Yesterday, my family & I were traveling from Quebec to Toronto when we stumbled upon this incredible restaurant along the way. We decided to try a few South Indian dishes & ordered masala dosa, idli vada, & chicken pakoda. Every dish exceeded our expectations - fresh, flavorful, & perfectly prepared.
I usually don't write reviews unless the experience is either exceptionally bad or someone specifically asks me to. But this time, I felt to share my experience because of the outstanding quality of food & service we received. The staff was courteous, & the overall atmosphere was warm & welcoming.
Highly recommended for anyone passing through & craving authentic, delicious Indian food. A true gem.

Definitely the go to spot for dosa's - kids loved them which was a big plus & the guys working there are extremely nice. Definitely going back to try their other options.
Delicious dosas, chutneys, dhal & samosas! Good selection for the size of the shopfront. Heard they're moving to a standalone location, if it's sit-down I bet it will be 🔥. Will definitely be back!
I visited this dosa place & absolutely loved it! The dosas were crisp, perfectly golden, & filled with flavorful masala. The chutneys & sambar were fresh & authentic-just like homemade! The staff was polite & quick with service .If you're craving South Indian food, this is definitely a must-try spot. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves South Indian food!
I shop at Marché de l'Ouest regularly, but somehow I always overlooked this gem of a dosa spot & I deeply regret not trying it sooner. Hands down, this is the BEST dosa I've had in Montreal. Since my first visit, I've been coming back every week. The flavor, the freshness, the crispiness… it's all unmatched. Their prices are also incredibly reasonable, making it an easy favorite. I can't recommend this place enough!
