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.
Where to begin Ambience - it's as close to you can get to an Indian setting breaking all stereotypes about cleanliness as well as the overall tone of the place. It's spick & span with a lovely & soothing vibe. Service - we were a group of 4 people & we ordered a variety of items ranging from dosas to noodles & lassi & what not & each & every one of them was delivered under an impressive time & the restaurant staff , infact 5 of them were available to cater to our needs throughout our stay there. Food - it's one of the best if not the best restaurant out there when it comes to authenticity & the taste. Whatever we ordered, each dish was prepared up to such a perfection that it felt like being teleported back home just for a quick bite. We had a mutton dosa , vada , masala dosa , chilli cheese dosa , lassi , gulab jamun, tea & we had a lengthy & mind you it was an intense discussion among us regarding which one should be declared as the highlight of the evening (spoiler alert - everyone declared what they ordered as the best one) Here comes the actual highlight, we were visiting Montreal & are originally from Kingston & our esteemed driver Friend didn't want to drive during the night because of visibility issues & also because he is a nutcase. But yeah so we ordered some takeout for when we reach Kingston but we were in such a hurry to leave that carelessly enough we forgot to actually take it out with us & midway through our return journey the realization hit , soon enough a call was made to the restaurant & they confirmed that we did leave the parcel there. We asked for all the possible options & if at all a refund was on the cards , the staff on the other end just asked for a minute to consult with the manager & within two hours a refund for an amount of 40 CAD was processed via interac. So, thank you for the lovely food & the amazing service as well as the care, rest assured whenever we would be in Montreal we are bound to make a trip to dosa pointe.
Nice place, much authentic Indian cuisine & nicely maintained by the owners. Not much happy with the staff a female with tattoos around her hands, very irrespective & rudely asked us to wait outside their door without any courtesy.

Food: It's a fantastic place with a wide range of options. We ordered Mysore Masala dosa, Chilli garlic cheese dosa, lamb dosa, & the idli vada combo. Every dish was incredibly delicious. Their gulab jamun was to die for. Service: Their service & hospitality are just as impressive as their food. We come from a different city & had taken some food to-go. Halfway through our journey, we realized we forgot to pick up our order. After speaking with the staff & manager, they kindly refunded our money, even though the mistake was on our side. That's top-notch customer service. Highly recommend the place!
The Dosa's were so yummy & authentic. I can visit again & again. The service was really fast & they even refunded the money for our order which we forgot there even though it was our fault.
Authentic south indian good! Would go back over & over again whenever im in Montreal 🤤🤤 i forgot our parcel on the way back hime but they were kind enough to refund it although it was my fault. Grateful for the service, appreciate it. ❤️
The food was excellent, service was decent, but you simply can't tolerate the noise of people chattering. Avoid going during peak hours unless you can withstand 50 people chatting continuously.
If you're craving a delightful mix of South Indian & Indo-Chinese cuisine, Dosa Pointe is the place to be. Their idlis are soft & fluffy, served with an array of chutneys that perfectly complement each bite. The dosas are crisp & golden, generously filled with your choice of savoury fillings. On the Hakka side, their noodles & fried rice are a treat, striking the right balance of flavours & spices. The ambiance is warm, & the service is prompt & friendly. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a diverse & satisfying meal!

Easily my favorite place to eat in Montreal. The best dosas I've ever had. I just can't get enough. Try everything. Had the Hara Bhara Masala Paneer dosa the last time I went & have been dreaming about it ever since. You'll love it (unless you have wimpy taste buds, in which case, your loss).
The food was absolutely amazing. Genuinely spicy & traditional by Indian standards. It's by no means watered down i.e. it is proper spicy. In Montreal, this tends to be a problem as the food is less spicy in order to cater to a medium level spicyness. Not here. Dosa Pointe is perfect. I loved the Chicken 65, the Chicken Dosa & the Chicken Hakka Noodles. The Idli was a good appetizer as well (nowhere near the previous 3). This is definitely a good place to eat out if you enjoy spicy Indian food.
