It's almost 1 year since then I am coming to Dosa Pointe to have best dosa experience. & I would like to say that the chef never disappoints me with the taste, it is always perfectly comforting & tasty. On the other hand the servers are literally unprofessional & a huge language barrier is seen. Being in Montreal, you should know french & if not at least English should be learnt before entering in a job profile where customer interaction is highly demanded. Even on mentioning clearly that I need Masala Dosa & keep Mysore Masala Dosa on hold but still they brought both of them & when I asked them to not to serve me Mysore Masala Dosa right now because I already had my starter on my plate but they were excusing & the lady literally standing over my head with that huge plate. & this whole experience made my dining so upsetting & feels unprofessional. I would request the owners to check the communication skills before hiring them.
Went with a couple of friends for dinner on a Friday. The place was full the entire time we were there & there was a short line outside. However, service is really fast & efficient, it's nice to see a restaurant actually have the amount of people it needs to run smoothly.
The food was phenomenal!!!! We got the masala dosa, minced lamb dosa, chicken noodles, & Manchurian. Everything tasted so authentic, it reminded me of home. The sambhar was actually one of the best I have had in my life. 10/10 will definitely go back! I am actually upset this was my first time visiting despite living in Montreal for many years.

RAISE YOUR PRICE IF YOU WANT MORE PROFIT BUT AT LEAST KEEP THE PORTION DECENT.
My family & I have been regular customers at Dosa Point for quite some time & usually visit every second week because we genuinely love the food. Unfortunately, today's experience was disappointing. The portions seemed noticeably smaller, & it was 1/5 mysore masala in dosa. When we brought this to the waiter's attention, the response was simply that the chef was the same, which did not address our concern.I told them'Raise your price but keep the portion decent.'
I left extra $10 on top of my bill, not as a TIP but as a gesture that customers can pay extra if food taste good but Please don't try dirty tactics.
We have always enjoyed the restaurant & hope this was just an isolated incident, but today's service felt poor & ungenerous compared to what we've come to expect.
Awesome food & authenticity.
We ordered masala dosa, noodle , manchurian, paneer 65 & poori kurma … not even songle spoon left in the plates.. so good, even never tasted this in brampton.
I always went there for their masala dosa. No doubt the food is good but the customer service is soo bad. After serving the food, they never come to the table & ask if we need anything else. They should come atleast once after serving food. They are always standing there but never come & ask.
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

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 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.
