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.
Across the reviews, Jolee is described as a place with flavorful Sri Lankan and South Indian dishes, generous portions, and good value, with friendly, accommodating service that makes takeout, catering, and dine-in feel reliable; the menus feature favorites like vegetarian thali, curries, beef roll, mutton curry, dals, and biriyani, and many notices praise the authenticity and depth of flavor while some highlight spicy heat as a defining element; catering experiences are repeatedly noted for on-time delivery and helpful staff, with organizers appreciating customization and budget awareness; a few comments mention longer waits or a busy layout and suggest more staff or bilingual service, but overall the restaurant earns strong recommendations and loyalty from regulars who plan to return.
Too long to serve, minimal staff, they didn't serve water also even after asking too. 😔 Very disappointing. 4 years ago the staffs & service was good now it's too bad 😞
Still great here love the kotttu roti among a lot of other things on the menu!! People are very kind here & the price point is very decent the quick eats are delicious as well love the beef rolls samosa & vege roti !!
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.
Jolee is a lovely place with wonderful staff & smiling faces. I have been a customer since many years now & had a favourable experience. The place always reminds me of my roots back in India. I would recommend their dosa, thalis & sweets. Good luck to the management.
Tried kingfish curry, mutton curry, idiyappam, porotta or veeshappam, chilli chicken medhu vada & masala wada. Didn't like chilli chicken & porotta. Rest of the items were good. Jilebis in the store had a strong urad dal taste so didn't like it. Mutton curry was the highlight & it's a good combination with idiyappam.

Came here the first night of our weekend in Montreal, probably the best food I ate the entire weekend being here. The food was flavorful & everyone who ate with me all shared the same sentiment. The kotu roti was made very well, probably some of the best kotu roti I've had!
