Reviews consistently praise Dosa Pointe for authentic South Indian flavors, with dosas that are crispy, generously filled and served with chutneys and sambar that feel like home. Portions are large and prices affordable, offering strong value for money. The menu covers classics like idli, vada and Mysore masala dosa, along with specialties such as Chettinad lamb keema dosa and even Indo Chinese dishes like chilli garlic noodles. Dosa Pointe is frequently highlighted as a standout for the dosa experience, while the sambar and chutneys are often described as well balanced and flavorful. The atmosphere is lively and busy, with crowds and long lines on weekends but service is described as friendly and attentive when possible. Some reviews note drawbacks such as noise, crowds, occasional service lapses, and parking challenges. Overall, the place is regarded as a top destination for dosa lovers in Montreal, with many calling it the best dosa in the city or country and appreciating the strong Indo Chinese options as a welcome bonus.
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**
Staff is very friendly & listens carefully

It was my first time going to Dosa Point after seeing many good reviews. One day before this visit I passed by & there was a huge line - people were even standing outside. The owner was there, so we jokingly asked if there was any discount. He said,'We don't need to give discounts. Our quality brings people here.' That made me curious to try it.
About a month later I went back with my friend, especially because of what he had said. It was extremely cold inside. Our table was right next to the door & customers were constantly coming in & out, so it literally felt like we were sitting on ice.
I ordered masala paneer, lacha paratha, & masala chai - my favorite Indian foods. The paneer was okay, decent. But the chai was terrible - no real tea taste & no masala flavor at all. The biggest disappointment was the paratha. I expected it to be freshly made, but it clearly tasted frozen. If you serve frozen food, you should inform customers.
Overall, a very disappointing & uncomfortable experience. I won't be going back again.
Un lieu familial parfait pour découvrir une spécialité du sud de l'Inde : le dosa.
Vous trouverez aussi des idli, des vada & des Uttapam.
Chaque dosa vient avec 4 sauces/soupes épicées dont le sambar (vraiment bon).
Je vous conseille donc de : prendre un dosa végé, un chai, de la musique tamil style «dappankuthu» dans vos oreilles & de manger avec votre main droite (toujours la droite!) haha
Bon appétit & bon voyage dans le Tamil Nadu.
À chaque fois que j'y vais, chaque tablée est remplie de famille, on entend le son des bébés & des familles heureuse de se retrouver. J'aime cet endroit pour ça ! Je ne connais pas beaucoup d'endroits à Montréal ou des familles peuvent venir se payer des restaurants dans de bonnes conditions. Donc merci de garder ce lieu authentique & de permettre à tous d'y aller.
.
PS : la fin de semaine, prévoir 20 minutes d'attente. Il y a aussi des chaises hautes pour les bébés.
Dosa Pointe on Jean-Talon is a solid spot when you're craving bold, comforting flavors. The menu delivers generous portions at a very good price, making it excellent value for money. The real standout for us was the spicy garlic noodles-fragrant, punchy, & perfectly cooked with just the right heat. Overall, it's a great place for flavorful, affordable food, & we definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.
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!

They serve over 30 different types of dosa. We tried the Chettinad lamb keema dosa, served with authentic South Indian sambar & chutney. Their fried rice & chicken Manchurian were equally good.
Best Indo Chinese food that I enjoyed after long time. Super yummy will definitely come again to enjoy it. Brought back India memories.
13 yrs in Canada , & I also get 😞 with the Indian Chinese options in Montreal. Good job dosa pointe.
