Dosa Pointe is widely celebrated as a premier destination for authentic South Indian and Indo-Chinese cuisine in Montreal, earning praise for its crispy, generously filled dosas, fluffy idlis, and flavorful chutneys that many diners compare favorably to meals found in India. While the majority of visitors highlight the consistent quality, generous portion sizes, and excellent value for money, experiences with service and atmosphere can vary. The restaurant often experiences high demand, resulting in busy, noisy environments and occasional wait times, which some guests find off-putting despite the high culinary standards. Although most reviews commend the friendly and efficient staff, others have noted occasional inconsistencies in service speed or attentiveness during peak hours. Ultimately, the restaurant remains a highly recommended favorite for those seeking an authentic and comforting dining experience, provided guests are prepared for a lively and sometimes crowded setting.
I had an amazing experience at Dosa Point! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, & full of authentic flavors. The dosa was perfectly crispy on the outside & soft inside, with generous & tasty fillings. The chutneys & sambar were fresh & complemented the meal perfectly & you will get several different types of dosa here like with different authentic spices, chillies & chicken also according to your level of spice less, mild & most. The staff were friendly, welcoming, & provided excellent service. The restaurant was clean, & the overall atmosphere was warm & inviting. I highly recommend Dosa Point to anyone looking for authentic South Indian food & i also tried their indo Chinese that was also so good & have soo many options. I'll definitely be coming back!
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.
Overall ***.5

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**
Staff is very friendly & listens carefully

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!
Absolutely the best South Indian food in Montreal - stacks up to some dosas I've had in India. Also great Indian Chinese. Also, I'm a regular here & have an allergy & the servers remember it better than I do.
Best Indo Chinese food that I enjoyed after long time. Super yummy will definitely come again to enjoy it. Brought back India memories.
13 yrs in Canada , & I also get 😞 with the Indian Chinese options in Montreal. Good job dosa pointe.
