Review Summary

Jolee is frequently praised for its authentic and flavorful Sri Lankan cuisine, with many patrons highlighting generous portion sizes, reasonable pricing, and consistently friendly service. While the majority of visitors describe the dishes as delicious and well-prepared, opinions on quality remain varied, with some long-term customers noting inconsistencies in certain items over time. The restaurant is widely recognized as a welcoming community staple, often celebrated for its accommodating catering services and clean, accessible dining environment. Although some diners suggest improvements to the atmosphere and layout, it remains a popular choice for those seeking spicy, hearty meals that offer excellent value for the money.

One & only truly Sri Lankan cuisine. Jolee brings you very closer to the authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. At least the style popular among Sri Lankan Tamils. You have a plenty of choices from the spiciest Chicken curry to non spicy Egg Dosa. The rice & curry which is the most common meal in Sri Lanka is sold as'' Thaali''. That you can have either vegetarian or with fish, meat, prawns etc. Many Sri Lankan specialities such as koththu Roti is available. You can dine in or simply take away. The restaurant is quite clean but the washrooms needed a little upgrade. Some staff are extremely friendly & some do their job well. Food is served hot & relatively fast. The price you pay for a full meal is quite cheap compared to many restaurants in Montreal. I have seen many families who come for lunches & the expats flock to the place with nostalgia. Check the place out if you have a spicy tongue.

I am Sri Lankan, so I know the true cuisine & authenticity of Sri Lankan food. This restaurant started off pretty good,I used to be a regular here. However, over time, the quality has gone downhill. The side dishes at the entrance are often cold & lacking flavor. Dining in was an alright experience overall, but not what it used to be.

If you come here, I would recommend sticking to the vegetarian options. The famous chicken & mutton kottu often have a burnt taste, almost as if they are constantly reheated on the grill, & they lack the rich flavor you would expect. I would also suggest avoiding the Indian dishes like butter chicken, biryani, or similar items, as they are disappointing as well.

Sri Lankan food is known for its unique spices & the authenticity in every bite, which is why this experience was quite disappointing for me

I have ordered vegetarian thali & onion masala dosa. Both items were perfectly delicious. No extra doing on any food item. Taste was authentic & feels like homely food. Their quantity is also more than any other place.

Yoga & Jolee have surpassed themselves again. The new handcrafted salads are truly delicious! The potato salad had a pleasant crunch of fresh peppers in addition to the classic comfort food taste. All very fresh & nutritious. I love the Waldorf Salad & Tabbouleh too. Best to call first because they go fast!

The South Indian/Sri Lankan dishes are still mouthwatering, exciting, authentic & very affordably priced. Service is excellent. Feel free to customize a dish to suit your tastes.

Very authentic srilankan cuisine. Good for dine in & take out, but take out is preferable. I have tried their thali options, nice. Always prefer to grab their vadai, samosas, pananga paniyaram & parottas for very affordable prices.
