Review Summary

Reviewers consistently praise Dosa Express for authentic South Indian flavors, with dosas that are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and generously filled, accompanied by fresh chutneys and a comforting sambar. The menu features a wide range of dosas including Mysore masala, ghee podi dosa, paneer masala dosa, onion and cheese variants, with portions large enough to share. The ghee option and use of high quality ingredients are frequently highlighted as game changers and the sambar and chutneys are often described as fresh and flavorful. Service is repeatedly noted as fast, friendly, and attentive, with staff welcoming and helpful. The atmosphere is described as warm, homely, and inviting, though a few reviews mention room for improvement in ambiance. Location remarks point to the Marche de l'Ouest setting and the newer Des Sources site as convenient for locals and travelers alike, often saving a return visit for the next trip. Overall, Dosa Express is seen as a standout for authentic, high quality dosa and South Indian staples at reasonable prices, with strong praise for idli, vada, chutneys, and the hospitality.

We ordered:
Mysore masala ghee dosa & a combo of idli vada: outstanding
The size of the idli was humongous & fresh. 👌

Felt the Sambhar more like a dal this time, need some improvement.
We also ordered Lassi: 3/5

Otherwise Super yummy preparation, must visit.
Service was really fast.
Highly recommended!!✨👌

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.

Me & my husband are regular customers here. We usually come here from all the way from Cornwall just for Dosa & idli. It's been a year now & we love this place so much & their food is so authentic & good. I would really recommend everyone if you come to Montreal you should try this place..🩷🩷🩷✨✨✨

Dosa Express, recently relocated to Des Sources from Marché De L'Ouest, is an absolute delight. My first mouthful of idli set temple bells ringing, followed by the distant recitation of shlokas - I must have died & gone to heaven. I don't have enough superlatives to praise this eatery. It's a brilliant find, worth every morsel.
Gautam stepped out of the kitchen mid-meal, gauging whether he should get started on our next course. The food arrived piping hot, served adroitly & with a warm smile by Jasleen. The vadas were to die for. The uttapam groaned under the weight of its generous accompaniments - sambhar, chutney, & podi with ghee - an unexpected treat that had us licking our plates clean.
& the dosas! Hot, crisp, & perfect - this time the sambhar came studded with tender fingers of drumsticks. Yum!
We've found a home away from home. It's fair to say we loved every bite & will be returning, kit & caboodle. Oh, & did I mention? The price of the meal was a song.

Tried Dosa Express recently & absolutely loved it! 😋 We ordered Mysore Masala Dosa, Ghee Karam Masala Dosa, Onion Masala Dosa, Uttappam, & Idli-Vada - everything was crispy, flavorful, & tasted authentic South Indian style. 💛

The prices were decent, & the staff & chefs were super friendly. They even offered a few dishes to sample & happily took feedback, which shows how much they care about their customers. 🙌

If you're craving real South Indian flavors, this place is a must-try in town! 🌶?🍛✨

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.

A Hidden Gem on the Road to Toronto!

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.

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!
