We were visiting Montreal out of town & craving some good ol' South Indian comfort food. So we ordered from Lakshana's Chettinad South Indian Restaurant, expecting a flavour-packed dinner. What we got instead felt like a prank.
Let's start with the'Naan' - or should I say, pita in disguise. Imagine our faces when we opened the box & saw what looked like store-bought pita bread pretending to be naan. Nice try, but no, naan & pita are distant cousins at best, not identical twins.
The Paneer curry came next, looking promising... until we tasted it. It was sweet & bland, like someone dropped sugar into tomato soup & added paneer as an afterthought. We weren't sure if we were eating dinner or dessert.
The Channa curry was the only dish that somewhat showed up for work, edible, mildly decent, but still missing that warm, spicy aroma you'd expect. It was like the chef forgot to invite the spices to the party.
We really wanted to enjoy this meal, but the food just didn't hit the mark. If you're serious about Indian food, you might want to look elsewhere - or at least keep your naan expectations low!View more

I took the daily meal service option which is really good. I can pick them up daily at a certain chosen time.
I have plenty of curry options to choose from vegan to non vegetarian.
They are delicious.View more
Lakshana's Chettinad is a true gem in the heart of Montreal. The flavors are bold, authentic, & deeply rooted which are rich, aromatic, & satisfying. The team works with care & consistency, & you can feel the passion in every plate served.
Whether you're familiar with Indian food or trying it for the first time, Lakshana's Chettinad offers a memorable dining experience that's both honest & full of heart. A must-visit for anyone who values authenticity & warmth.View more

One of the best Indian restos out there around Guy-Concordia.View more
Food was quite good. Good flavours coming through. They gently modulated the level of spice for our young accompanying guest. Staff was friendly & amenable to our special requests & questions regarding the house specialties. I can see myself coming back.View more
