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.

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.
I lived in South India for a year & this restaurant immediately brought me back to that wonderful place. The staff are kind & accommodating, the minimal decor is warm & inviting, & the food is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious, nutritious, & truly exotic dining experience. 5 stars all the way!

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!
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..🩷🩷🩷✨✨✨
Came here for the first time yesterday evening with my parents. We ordered two different kinds of dosa + idly, vada & chicken biryani.
Everything tasted delicious & portions are generous. The waiter who served us was kind & welcoming. He took the time to explain each dish to us.
The interior could be improved though & the bathroom hallway was quite cold. But overall I highly recommend this spot in the west island if you're craving some good dosa. 🤤
Today November 29th went to their new location second time in less than a week of my last visit at 4884 Blvd. De Sources in DDO. Delicious food & very courteous service. My daughter & son in law loved their food. I can recommend them very highly. I will give them 5 stars

We stopped by Dosa Express on our way back from Montreal to Toronto, & it truly made our trip memorable! The service was outstanding - the staff were friendly, welcoming, & made us feel right at home.
The food was even better - crispy dosas, flavorful chicken curry, & the Bagara rice were absolutely delicious! The spices were perfectly balanced, & every dish tasted authentic & freshly made.
If you're craving real South Indian flavors or want a comforting meal while traveling, Dosa Express is a must-visit. Highly recommend this place for both the food & the hospitality.

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.
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!
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..
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!!!
