I had a great experience here! The dosa was huge, perfectly crispy, & packed with delicious flavor. The sambar & chutneys were fresh, tasty, & complemented the meal perfectly. The portion size was excellent, & everything was served hot. The restaurant was clean, the staff were friendly & welcoming, & the service was quick. If you're looking for authentic South Indian food, this is definitely a place worth visiting. Highly recommended-I'll definitely be coming back!
I had an amazing experience at Dosa Point! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, & full of authentic flavors. The dosa was perfectly crispy on the outside & soft inside, with generous & tasty fillings. The chutneys & sambar were fresh & complemented the meal perfectly & you will get several different types of dosa here like with different authentic spices, chillies & chicken also according to your level of spice less, mild & most. The staff were friendly, welcoming, & provided excellent service. The restaurant was clean, & the overall atmosphere was warm & inviting. I highly recommend Dosa Point to anyone looking for authentic South Indian food & i also tried their indo Chinese that was also so good & have soo many options. I'll definitely be coming back!
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.

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.
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!
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!
