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.
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.

completely différent prices in real & on the website of the restaurant , huge différence , even if prices rose up its hard to bélieve they rose that much , i suspect dishonest behaviour from the employées .
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!
Fantastic service & food! Frequently order food from here. Dine in also. Must try once. They have the best samosa! All over love their food! Today we have veggie & mutton thali , mango Lassi without sugar. Yummy!
Foods are well made & reasonably priced. Fantastic chicken biryani, thalis, mango lassi without sugar & veggie soup. Don't forget the delicious samosas.
Always had good service. They really kind & the food is really good for the quality . A must place for Sri Lanka food. Not even need to go to Jean talon for my Indian type of food. You'll love the prices there & be surprised ! A must go :)
Si vous recherchez de l'authentique nourriture de l'Inde du Sud, c'est l'endroit. Si vous recherchez des plats vraiment épicés... ouff.. c'est vraiment la place :D
Personnel gentil & avenant!
