We called the restaurant & asked for noodles & they said they don't have it currently, then why is it on your menu. Ok then we decided to order chicken biryani as a take out, since it's our first time & thought of ordering only one thing so we know about the taste & you know what it was one day f the worst dish I ever had. I would not call it a biryani only, it was just flavoured boiled rice with almost boiled chicken in it. It was so pathetic that my children's absolutely didn't want to have even a bite, they gave a real small portion of salan & yogurt with it which were pathetic too. Absolutely not going there or recommending it to anyone.
One of the best places for dosa in Montreal! The staff are always kind, welcoming, & greet customers with a smile. Besides their amazing dosas, their idli, vada, noodles, bhatura, & many other dishes are equally delicious. I've been coming here since 2018, back when the restaurant was located on the other side of Jean-Talon. It's great to see how they've grown while continuing to serve excellent food & provide outstanding service. Highly recommended!
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.
The place is very hyped, but the food didn't live up to the expectations. The dosa I ordered was just average; honestly, I can make a better dosa at home. The garlic chili chicken noodles were disappointing as well-they were overly oily & loaded with sauce. Overall, the food quality did not justify the hype.
We tried so many items from the menu just the dosa was nice.
Chicken biryani , chicken fried rice was mediocre.
Vada sambhar was good.
Now the main dish chilli garlic noodles , it was more of chiili & red chilli powder & no garlic taste in the noodles.
The costumer service is pathetic , the manager at billing is not even ready to listen the problem & feedback of the costumer.
People know what authentic taste is, not just the restaurant owners.
Try to take feedback from the costumer & may be you can do better.
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.
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**
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.
