Délicieux & frais. Première fois ici & pas la dernière.

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!
Good taste & crispy dosas with fresh chutneys & sambar. Quick service, clean place, & friendly staff. Enjoyable experience overall
Will come back with my friends ❤?
Excellent plats du sud de l'Inde avec un service chaleureux & souriant. Les dosas sont croustillants & bien garnis & le sambar est réconfortant & délicieux. A+
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
