Jolee

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

If you're looking to get a fix of well prepared Sri Lankan fare, this is the place to be.

I'm shocked how low the reviews are - restaurant jolee is the best Sri Lankan food I've ever had. We make a point to stop by & load up our freezer every time we come to Montreal from the United States. We particularly love the beef roll, mutton curry & dals. Their food is simply delicious.

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.

Broad variety of very affordable & flavourful Sri lankan & Indian dishes in an unpretentious & casual setting with friendly service. You can request that the dishes be served spicy or mild. Beware that the spicy version is very hot so order at your own risk :) Personally, I love it. They also have various south-asian sweets & drinks such as Gulab jamun, Laddu & Lassi.
