Restaurant Jolee, in Côte-des-Neiges, specializes in South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine, cuisine that is less popular than the northern Indian cuisine. For less than $10, diners can taste all sorts of unfamiliar concoctions, for an exciting and healthy eating experience. Restaurant Jolee does also serve recognizable dishes such as tikkas, thalis and samosas but it is best to be adventurous.
Reviews describe Jolee as serving authentic Sri Lankan and South Indian fare with flavorful curries, generous portions and friendly service at reasonable prices. Many diners praise dishes such as the vegetarian thali and the curries, though spice levels can be intense and there can be long waits during peak times. Takeout and catering experiences are commonly rated highly for freshness, value and reliability, with staff noted as helpful and accommodating. Some comments mention inconsistency in quality depending on the chef, a busy buffet layout and the impression that certain items are pre made or overpriced, but overall Jolee is seen as a strong go to for authentic flavors and a range of items like beef roll, mutton curry, dals, egg hopper and dosas. Regulars report returning often and recommending calling ahead to secure a ready order or to dine in.
One of the "must go" places whenever we visit Montreal. Mutton biryani is my favorite. Other short eats are also delicious. It would be perfect if they give some gravy for kottu. However, it's really hard to find parking there.
Visited Jolee after a long time. They serve Vegetarian South Indian meal on Friday afternoon. The meal was delicious & big enough for a person. The brinjal (egg plant) curry was awesome. The service gentle man was so nice.
very tasty, & not toosalty, we were served fast, good quantity, happy with the meal. Im used to punjabi cuisine so I did not know what to expect, & i loved the Masala dosa, my husband liked very much his thali. We will definetely come back. Thank you

While on trip to Montreal, my husband convinced to try something different , he took to me the Jolee, i tried over there Samosa , puri masala & veg kothu roti, everything is so yum & worthy to visit, definitely i found it affordable & plus in terms of quatity , good portion. Really appreciate . Fully satisfied
Too spicy mutton rolls & fish patties. Takes a long time to get ordered food. They do not take online orders although they have setup payment that way. Good for people who can tolerate extremely spicy food.

Meat rolls & kothu மதிய உணவு அருமையாக இருந்தது இருந்த போதும் அதில் சேர்க்கப்பட்ட மட்டன் சிக்கன் போதுமானதாக இல்லை Lunch was good but the added mutton chicken was not good enough
Its really disappointed. When we get food for $70 & ask about the paper plates they ask us to pay $0.25 per plate they closedbrge dining. Also they rush thenoders when we call over the phone to Oder. Yes I can understand they are busy so they can put more employees.
My mom kept talking about this restaurant & I'm so happy I came along this time. The portions are big, the prices are very affordable & the waitress was so nice & gave me good recommendations. I really enjoyed my lamb kothu roti
Amazing fish cutlets & patties that are great for parties or events. Pretty good curries & meals too at a good value. One of the few great Sri Lankan spots in Montreal.
