This dosa spot is such a little gem. The dosas come out perfectly crisp on the outside & soft inside, with fillings that are full of flavor & comfort. Every bite feels warm & satisfying, especially with the chutneys & sambar on the side.
I enjoyed the masala cheese dosa. Give it a try.
The idli & vada come with chutneys as well.
Enjoyed my time here.
Absolutely loved my experience at Dosa Express! The dosa was perfectly crispy, fresh, & bursting with authentic flavor. The service was warm & attentive, & the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. It was truly an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Definitely one of the best places for authentic dosas-I highly recommend it.

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!
This place didn't just serve food-it served memories. The authentic South Indian taste took me straight back home. Truly special experience. I've been missing the taste of real South Indian food, & this restaurant brought it all back. Every bite felt like home-authentic, flavorful, & comforting. Highly recommend!❤?
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!
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.
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!
