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.

This is an amazing local Tamil Restaurant. Good pricing & very tasty. They have everything from snacks to meals. My favorite snacks are their chicken, beef, & mutton spring rolls. Definitely a must try!
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.
Tried this restaurant for the first time & was honestly happy of what I got. I ordered 2 biryanis, one lamb & one chicken. The lamb one was good, loved it. But, the chicken one with tandoori chicken was alright because the tandoori was a bit dry & wasn't enjoyable to bite into. But overall, great food, exceptional service. A worker helped me choose what to order & was friendly.
The elderly gentleman displayed a hint of rudeness. On the other hand, another customer who was speaking in French exhibited unsettling behavior by consistently staring at me & peering into my mobile activities. So I had to change my seat.
