Dosa Pointe is described as a bustling, family friendly spot where consistent bold, authentic South Indian flavors come through in crispy dosas, fluffy idli, and flavorful sambar and chutneys. The menu spans a wide range from classic dosas such as masala dosa and Mysore dosa to Chettinad lamb keema dosa and popular Indo Chinese options like chilli garlic noodles and hakka noodles, all offered in generous portions and good value. Reviewers praise friendly, attentive service and a lively atmosphere, though crowds can mean waits and a crowded room, especially on weekends. While some notes mention occasional oiliness or sambhar that could be spicier, the overall consensus is that the authenticity and quality make Dosa Pointe a top choice for South Indian and Indo Chinese cravings in Montreal. Overall, it is seen as a must visit for dosa lovers and a place that many feel delivers home style flavors and memorable meals.
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.
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!
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**
What an incredible experience at Dosa Pointe! Every dish was bursting with authentic South Indian flavors. The idli plate was absolutely amazing: soft, fluffy, & perfectly paired with delicious chutneys & sambar. The chicken biryani was great, fragrant, flavorful, & cooked just right. The chilli garlic chicken was spicy but completely out of this world: bold, fiery, & incredibly tasty. & the Mysore masala dosa was beyond amazing : crispy, perfectly spiced, & truly unforgettable.
The flavors & aromas genuinely transported me back to India, reminding me of authentic home-style food. If you're craving real Indian taste in Montreal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended!
My dad is a big dosa lover so it made sense to bring my parents to Dosa Pointe. Although it was hard to find parking, we managed to find a spot & just walked to the resto. They had so many varieties of dosa, so we decided to go with Karam Podi chicken dosa, Hara Bhara Lamb dosa, Gongura egg dosa & Mysore masala dosa. The dosa was tasty - you get what you pay for. We also ended up getting some ras malai & I initially thought it could be like the pre-packaged ones BUT it was actually perfectly sweet & softer. Staff were quite friendly & the place is quite busy. (Unfortunately they don't take reservations so make sure u guys go early)
P.S def not a spot to have a convo after having paid the bill. It's only fair to leave so, that others can be seated & there will be no space-hogging
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
I went with my my wife, son & dad. We were seated immediately & given menus & cups/water. We tried their dosas & vadai, both were fresh & tasty! The restaurant is pretty busy, with a mix of ethnicities enjoying their food with a Main Street (Jean talon) in-front so even though their isn't much of a view their is a lot of traffic passing by, both cars & people to see . To the waitress who came to our table right before we left who quickly played with my baby & gave a candy, 2 thumbs up. (service is pretty lousy these days in many places with people who just want their pay.)
Affordable & pocket friendly family joint for super tasty south indian meals. Good variety & lots of options to choose from. Courteous staff & decent atmosphere. Might have waiting during rush hours.

I recently visited Dosa Pointe, & I must say, it was an incredible dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, from their crispy, flavorful dosas to the noodles & other amazing dishes we tried. Each item on the menu was prepared with great attention to taste & presentation. The desserts were also a perfect way to end the meal, with just the right amount of sweetness. What made the experience even better was the hospitality & service. The staff were extremely polite, attentive, & made sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. It's clear they care about their customers, & it added a warm, personal touch to our dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Dosa Pointe to anyone looking for tasty food & top-notch service. Will definitely be coming back!
Great food. We tried paper ghee masala dosa, veg manchurian & veg hakka noodles. Food was tasty. Happy to find a great place serving indo chinese & hakka. Usually places with south indian do not have great hakka food but this place did a great job with both. Decent pricing, tasty food & good service.
We are from GTA & have been in many places in Canada & tasted indian food. We can unequivocally vouch this restaurant serves best tasting south indian food. Even all chutneys that they serve on side are of highest quality & taste that one will never find anywhere in North America. We ordered Dosa, Idli (super soft & tasty), Chilli garlic chicken noodles (awesome taste) , coffee (delicious), mango lassi, gulab jamun (yum). Everything we ordered had the genuine taste of flavours that the food deserves. The servers are well mannered & we loved them. The owner is so genuine & down to earth that we felt humbled to talk to him. We strongly recommend everyone who visit Montreal to dine in here at least once & rest assured you will leave with a happy tummy & smile. Thanks to everyone at this restaurant. Chef, we love you!
"I had the most delicious dosa recently & I must say, it was truly exceptional! The staff were incredibly welcoming & attentive, making sure I felt right at home. But what really stole the show was the dosa itself - it was crispy, flavorful, & served hot. The filling was generous & tasty, & the chutneys on the side added an extra layer of flavor. The staff took great care to attend to every need, refilling & checking in on throughout meal. I was thoroughly impressed with the service & the food quality. If you're a dosa lover like me, this place is a must-visit! Five stars & can't wait to go back!"
