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.
Our first time at this dosa takeout... A friend recommended this place & didn't disappoint.. will be a returning customer.. brought it home to eat & it was still fresh..
If you're in Montreal & craving authentic South Indian flavors, Dosa Express is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality & the aroma of sizzling spices that instantly awakens your appetite. The dosas? Crisped to perfection, generously filled, & bursting with taste. Whether it's the classic masala dosa or the spicy Mysore variety, each bite feels like a culinary celebration.
What truly sets Dosa Express apart is its consistency-every dish is served fresh, flavorful, & beautifully plated. The chutneys & sambar are vibrant & balanced, complementing the dosas in all the right ways. Service is fast & friendly, & the ambiance is cozy yet lively-ideal for casual dinners or weekend indulgence.
This place was amazing!! Some of the best dosas I have ever had. They are huge, well seasoned, light, not greasy, & just delicious! I had the mysore masala dosa, the ghee podi dosa, paneer masala dosa, & a plain. The ghee podi & mysore masala were my favorites. Just so so delicious. The spice in the masala dosas was perfect. I am not Indian, but do like good spice, but not burn my mouth type. This was flavor+heat & it was so delicious. They ran out of sambar, & so the manager or owner or whatever his role was, the man in charge in any case, was so gracious as to come out & offer me anything else to go with. He gave me butter chicken & it was some of the smoothest & most flavorful I have had. & two basil seed soda drinks too! Wonderful service. The shop is a stall in the Marché Ouest, so it's not fancy, but there is seating, although we took ours to go. We liked having to walk in through the plants & flowers to discover the eateries! & the price was sooo reasonable. Each dosa is a meal!

The food was really amazing, & rich in flavours. I would like recommended to everyone who loves South Indian food, & I'm from Toronto travelling by & we really enjoyed the dosa. &, I can say it for sure that every other South Indian places I've been, this one has one of the best food ever. MUST RECOMMEND!!!
I tried the Chicken Kheema Dosa & the Cheese Karam Dosa. Both were delicious & super crispy!
The chicken kheema filling was packed with flavor & had just the right amount of spice.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Cheese Karam Dosa too. I was worried it would just be paneer disguised as cheese but no, it was real melted cheese!
I also tried Podi Idli for the first time, & it was amazing! The ghee flavor really stood out!. All dishes came with sambar & two types of chutney. The store is simply a counter+kitchen inside a shared food court/market area, so don't expect a full-service restaurant. Seating is communal, but the staff bring your order to your table once it's ready.
Definitely eat your dosa on the spot to really enjoy the crispiness of the dosas!
The dosas are yummy, we have ghee karam dosa & Cheese Dosa. The prices are quite affordable. This place can be your go to dosa spot when you are in West Island.

A great addition to the Marche de l'Ouest, Dosa Express offers many different dosa options, as well as other South Indian specialties you typically would not find anywhere else. Service is friendly & welcoming. The quality of the food is outstanding, it is served hot & fresh & portions are very large.
I tried the Masala Dosa & its potato filling was deliciously flavorful, while the dosa was crispy & addictively good-served with homemade sambaar & two sauces on the side, all for only $9.99. The mango lassi was also delicious-a refreshing beverage to go with the meal.
If you are craving delicious, homemade food at an excellent value, I highly recommend Dosa Express. There is also plenty of seating available just a few steps away for a quick & comfortable lunch.
Bestest dosa we ever had. It was really full of taste & flavour of south india. Everyone should try atleast once. We can't get this much mouthwatering dish in whole canada. ❤?❤?
