Overall, Dosa Pointe is celebrated for authentic South Indian dosas, fresh chutneys and sambar, and generous portions at good value, with many praising the variety from classic dosas to Mysore masala, idli and vada, as well as Indo Chinese options like chilli garlic noodles and hakka noodles. The vibe is lively and welcoming, with friendly staff and a family friendly atmosphere, though some reviews mention crowded spaces, weekend waits, and occasional service lapses. The flavors transport diners back home for many, and staff attention to allergies is noted as a plus, while some guests suggest that consistency and pacing could improve during peak hours. All in all, Dosa Pointe stands out as a top destination for South Indian and Indo Chinese cuisine in Montreal, offering authentic taste, value, and a memorable, bustling dining experience.
Visited again on 3 Feb, & had a plate of Vada … this time sambhar was really tasty & chutney were nice. Vada was not fresh, but decent.
Chilli garlic noodles was spicy & tasted nice, but it was a little more oily.
Their Indo-Chinese dishes are a must try.

Old review
Trio fried rice with manchurian was really very tasty, i did request for spicy & it was to the mark… awesome & i will try their other Indo-Chinese dishes.
As for the mysore masala dosa, it lacked the authentic taste, just had the podi chutney :( i didn't like the sambhar either, chutney were fine. For this price, this would be 1.5-2**
I recently tried Dosa Pointe & honestly, I really enjoyed the food. The paper dosa was huge, super crispy, & just perfect-one of the best I've had in a while. It came with chutneys & sambar that tasted fresh & went really well with it.
The rava dosa was also really good-nice & crispy with that light, lacy texture. You can tell it was made fresh, & the flavor was spot on.
I also had the idli, which was soft, fluffy, & comforting. It paired perfectly with the chutneys & sambar.
The karam podi dosa was my favorite though-it had a nice spicy kick & was full of flavor without being too overpowering.
Overall, the food felt authentic & satisfying. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving good South Indian food.
Very good south Indian food serviced with delicious taste.
Chutneys are well made with authentic Indian taste.
The best restaurant for south Indian food in Montreal.
The food was absolutely delicious & well worth the visit. While the kitchen was a bit slow, the waitstaff provided excellent service & handled the delay professionally; we understand that kitchen timing is often out of their control. However, our experience at the front counter was disappointing. The professionalism at the register did not match the high quality of the food or the floor service, & we hope to see more courteous interactions in the future.
One of our favourite restaurants ever. Dosa is perfect. Veg noodles, chicken 65, Gobi Manchurian are all delicious options too. Idli & vada are absolutely the best at dosa point--chutneys & sambar are so tasty. The staff are very very friendly & warm. I love you dosa Pointe.
I have visited Dosa Pointe multiple times, & unfortunately, this experience was disappointing again.I had to leave a review
We ordered one achari masala dosa, one veg noodles, & two rose lassis. The lassi arrived first, followed by the dosa-but the veg noodles never came at all. We were two people dining together, & only one of us got their meal while the other kept waiting.
We didn't follow up immediately because this has happened 3-4 times before, & we've always tried to be understanding since restaurants can get busy. However, this time it wasn't even crowded, & still there was no check-in from the staff or acknowledgment of the missing order.
One thing I've consistently noticed is that this issue seems to happen whenever we order Indo-Chinese items. If that section of the menu cannot be managed properly, it might be better not to take those orders instead of leaving customers waiting indefinitely.
The food we did receive was good, but the service really needs improvement. I hope this feedback is taken seriously.

Wow had been here yesterday with my family. Never had this good Andhra chicken curry & parotta even when I worked in Andhra. Hakka cuisine is to die for. Starters to noodles to Veg Manchurian everything is top notch. Will sure make this restaurant my family's go to place
Best in town in terms of quality, freshness, price, quantity & customer service. A crowd favorite for more than a decade, this gem is an absolute treat to all connoisseurs of delectable food. Highly recommend!

I recently visited this restaurant in Montreal & unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The food quality was extremely poor & did not taste fresh at all. It was far below the basic standards I expected. I was really surprised because I chose this place hoping to have a good meal, but instead it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences I've had.
What made the situation even worse was the response from the owner. When I politely informed him about the issue with the food, he showed no concern & didn't even try to address the problem. A simple apology or effort to fix the situation would have made a difference, but there was none. Because of both the poor food & the lack of customer service, I would not recommend this place to anyone.
I had a very bad experience. The customer service was extremely poor. I shared our concerns with the owner, but he did not seem to care at all. They really need to improve their attitude & how they treat customers.
One of the best restaurant with very friendly staff & of course excellent food, starters & drinks. I had their special starters with my friends. Highly recommend this place for all visitors.
The food was okay, but the customer service was very poor. I noticed the owner sitting at the front, & when I shared my feedback, he seemed completely uninterested & didn't care about what I had to say.
We were a group of 11 people, yet we were given only one glass of water, when at least three would have been reasonable for a table of that size. It felt like the staff did not value their customers.
Overall, the food was very below average, & the service made the experience even worse. I would not recommend this place to anyone around me.
