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.
This place is a gem. The cozy vibe & top-tier ingredients made for a wonderful meal. Everything we ordered was executed flawlessly. The staff provided excellent care without being intrusive. From start to finish, it was a masterpiece of a meal. Truly an unforgettable night out.
Visited this place last Saturday with friends & had a fantastic experience. We ordered idly, puri, & dosa, & everything was impressive.
The puri was perfectly fluffy & soft, paired with two flavorful curries that complemented it really well. The dosa was crisp & delicious, just as it should be.
But the real highlight was the idly - easily the best I've had in Montreal. It was incredibly soft, fresh, & literally melted in the mouth like butter. The sambar & chutneys were rich in flavor & perfectly balanced.
Overall, an outstanding experience. If you're craving authentic South Indian food in Montreal, this place is definitely a must-visit!
I recently placed a bulk order (50+ idlis) for an office event on very short notice, & the experience exceeded expectations.
When I called late in the evening, they didn't just accept the order-they took the time to guide me on the right quantities for sambar & coconut chutney based on the number of people. That kind of practical advice is rare.
What stood out even more was their honesty. When I mentioned I planned to pick it up at night & reheat it the next morning, they advised against it because it would affect the taste. Instead, they offered to prepare the order fresh the next morning-& actually opened outside their regular hours just to accommodate this.
The idlis were warm, soft, & incredibly fluffy. For many people at the office, it was their first time trying idlis, & the feedback was consistently positive-everyone loved it.
Great food is one thing, but this level of service & thoughtfulness is what makes a place stand out. Highly recommended.
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.

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.
The best doses in town! Coming from south India, I have found a place which serves the most authentic & tasty doses, vadas & idly that satisfies all my cravings away from home!
They also have the classic indo Chinese street style food that will leave you wanting for more. A family & freinds favorite restaurant, friendly service & awesome food! A must try restaurant in montreal for all dose lovers!
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!
