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.
We visited this place during our trip to Montreal. I will say this is just amazing restaurant that will give you authentic South Indian taste. Podi masala was out of this world. Every chutney served with dosa was great & Sambhar, i just lack words to describe how good it was. I have not had this good food since very long time. This is a must visit. Worth driving long hrs just for food.
Worth visiting to enjoy excellent South Indian food. The restaurant offers no-nonsense Authentic South Indian gastronomic experience. The servings are good size & filling served hot with appropriate mix of spices & the chutney are amazing addition. Reasonable prices menu.

Dosa Pointe is an excellent place to eat incredible dosas. After having spent weeks in South India, this place remains the best Dosa I've had!
Staff is kind & quick, the crunchyness of the dosa is perfect, the size is huge, the fillings, the chutneys, the sambar were excellent!
Can't recommend it enough. For non Indians, look up how to eat a dosa with your right hand to not feel uneasy when arriving there & receiving your big dosa on your table 😂

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.
