⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! We ordered the lacha paratha with butter paneer, & it was absolutely delicious. The paratha was flaky & perfectly layered, & the butter paneer was rich, creamy, & full of flavor - just the right amount of spice & sweetness.
We also tried their noodles, & they were a pleasant surprise! Perfectly cooked, nicely seasoned, & had that classic Indo-Chinese kick we love. It's great to find a place that excels in both North Indian & Indo-Chinese dishes.
The staff was friendly & attentive, & the overall atmosphere was clean & welcoming. A must-visit if you're craving comforting Indian food with a side of flavorful Chinese dishes. Highly recommend!

An absolute gem for both South Indian & Indo-Chinese cuisine! The dosas here are some of the best I've ever had - perfectly crispy, generously filled, & served with flavorful chutneys & piping hot sambar. We tried the masala dosa & Mysore dosa, & both were outstanding.
What really surprised us was how good their Chinese food was too! The chilli paneer & hakka noodles were bursting with flavor - just the right amount of spice & perfectly cooked. It's rare to find a place that does both cuisines so well.
The service was friendly, the portions generous, & the restaurant was clean & comfortable. Whether you're in the mood for traditional South Indian or spicy Indo-Chinese, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

The food was amazing. However, my friends & I had a poor dining experience. The restaurant is super busy during weekends, & there are long lines before you're being seated. Once we were seated, the waiters were very impatient & kept asking us to place the order immediately. The moment we finished our food, we were kind of kicked out. The manager approached us & said'can you please empty your table as we have more people outside', which is understandable but we hadn't even finished our food & they were ready to take away the dishes. They were extremely rude in the way they asked us to leave.
Additionally, the prices are very high for no reason. I have been to better indian restaurants in downtown (for example, Bawarchi) that have more reasonable pricing.
Excellent spot for South Indian food in Montreal. They have a variety of options & are quite busy. However, we were refused to serve filter coffee as they ran out of it, which was a slight disappointment.
Had a very good experience when we were there. We were in a bit of a hurry but everyone there was extremely accommodating & fast. The ambience was nice & the food was simply excellent. Best south indian food I've had in a while. Strongly recommend this place.
Found this place through reviews & can't say with confidence this place met it's expectations! Amazing food, good quality fresh & great service! Would highly recommend for South Indian food. Authentic & tasty!
Had a nice afternoon snack over the weekend at this restaurant. It was our first time here though we come often to Parc-Ex for Indian fare. We were a group of non-Indians who had a generally enjoyable experience (the recommended non-spicy Dosas were very tasty & not fire-y, just spicy)!
There was however some shyness on behalf of some employees to take our order-but that's not a problem, just bringing it up so that future clients reading this review persist & try the food here nonetheless. We had the Masala Dosa, Egg Dosa & finally the Paneer Masala Dosa. All were perfect light meal after a day of shopping at Jean-Talon Market.
The place is among the cleaner ones in the area-it helps that the location opened around 2023 & was renovated then.
I'll definitely be coming back to try the Dosa Achari (tasty pickling mix) or the Mysore.
Bon appétit
Today i dined in there for the first time with my friends. We tried their butter masala dosa & hara bhara chilli paneer dosa & mango lassi. Guess what it was so so delicious. We loved it. I was craving for dosa since a week so we finally drove to mtl for 1 hour just to eat there. Trust me they didn disappoint at all. Service is amazing. Their staff is so attentive & welcoming. Which is rare to see at Indian restaurants. But hey … this restaurant is definitely an exception. I'd for sure come back. The food the chef & the staff kudos to you guyz. I hope the owner is aware of their staff being great at their job.
Got the chicken dosa - very little meat. We ordered to-go so they very nicely pack the potatoes inside the Masala dosa separately so the dosa don't get soggy. It's inexpensive but at the same time the portion wasn't filling enough for us. They do take credit card. I still prefer the other Indian restaurant we went previously.
The masala dosa was delightful & flavorful. Although there was a slight rush, the staff managed the situation effectively. It is worth noting that, in comparison to other Indian restaurants in Montreal, they maintain a high standard of cleanliness, including the restrooms. I was pleasantly surprised by the complimentary gift of porotta & chicken manchurian.

During our visit to the vibrant city of Montreal, we discovered this incredible South Indian restaurant, & it became a highlight of our trip! If you're looking for authentic flavors that transport you straight to South India, this place is a must-visit. We started with their **Idli Sambhar** - the idlis were soft & melt-in-your-mouth perfection, paired with sambhar that was rich, flavorful, & comforting. The variety of chutneys served alongside added a burst of flavors. The **Vada** was another standout, with a perfect balance of crispy exteriors & fluffy interiors - truly addictive! The **Mysore Masala Dosa** was the star of our meal. It was delightfully crispy, filled with a spicy & tangy potato masala, & served with aromatic sambhar & chutneys that made every bite a heavenly experience. The ambiance was cozy & inviting, & the staff was warm & attentive, making us feel right at home. If you're a local or a tourist in Montreal, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic South Indian cuisine. It's a culinary journey you won't forget! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended - we'll definitely be back on our next trip!
Food was good & spice levels lived upto the mark as mentioned. Straight to the point restaurant with quick service. Quality & quantity was also good. Located in a location with many asian options but if you're craving good south indian & hakka food , do give this place a shot
The authentic south Indian cuisine taste avails here in their dosa, chutney & idlis. The service is good & quick. You can have many vegetarian options there. We have been more than twice there & would prefer going back to have the food. Must recommended.
