We visited for the first time, & it was a wonderful experience! We started with the **vada**, which came with **three freshly made, hot, crispy vadas** served alongside delicious **sambar, coconut chutney, & tomato chutney**. Everything tasted fresh, & the vada was absolutely perfect.
We also ordered a **filter coffee**, which was excellent & complemented the meal really well.
For the main course, we had **three ghee masala dosas**. They were crispy, generously filled, great in quantity, & incredibly tasty. Every dish was flavorful & freshly prepared.
The restaurant has **plenty of parking** & a spacious dining area, making it comfortable even for families. The **customer service was also very good** the staff were friendly & attentive.
Our child absolutely loved the **vada & dosa**, which made the visit even more enjoyable.
The only suggestion I have is to ensure the **wash basin & restrooms are cleaned regularly during busy rush hours**. When we first arrived, there were only a couple of customers, but within a short time, the restaurant became almost completely full.
Overall, the food was outstanding, & we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!
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.

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.
