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.
Hands down the best dosa place in Montreal. Every single detail is on point. The idly & vada were soft, not dry at all. The chutneys & sambar were perfectly seasoned, & the portions were generous. As for the dosa, I had the paneer masala one, & the filling was life-changing. I also liked that the dosa was crispy on the outside & soft on the inside. They make a great mango lassi as well. The whole for a super reasonable price!
Délicieux & frais. Première fois ici & pas la dernière.
Dose ghee Mysore & magnifique, avec un chutney coconut, & un epicé. Meilleur sambar que je au gouté.
On y va pour la bouffe, pas le décors.

The ambiance here is truly amazing-warm, inviting, & perfect for a relaxed evening. There's also a great variety of dosas to choose from, which makes the experience even better. The idlis are incredibly soft & spongy, just the way they should be, & the sambar is rich, flavourful, & absolutely satisfying. Everything about the food feels comforting & homely. It's a fantastic spot for a night out with family & friends. Highly recommended!
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!
