Every dish tasted authentic & fresh, with a great balance of aromas & textures. The service was excellent & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. Highly recommended for anyone who loves delicious & flavorful food! They have variety of Indian dishes from tiffins to meals & wide variety of Dosas, a must try. My love for Dosas never end 😍
Great little Indian restaurant in CDN neighborhood, the waitress was very welcoming & even chatted with us to introduce us to Indian food as we've never tried before from an authentic Indian place. Great recommendations & the food was tasty. Portions are huge, enough to feed 2 people, & the prices are more than fair. If you're looking to spice it up & make it a bit more exotic, this is the spot.

Petit restaurant subtile & semi-rustique. Personnellement j'apprécie le style car offre une impression d'authenticité.
J'ai commandé le Cari au poulet avec un bol de riz blanc & Pain Naan au beurre..
Repas (10/10): À la hauteur de mes attentes & voir plus. Beaucoup de saveurs & parfaitement épicé.
Menu (7/10): Nombreuses variétés au choix, autant pour le végétariens que pour les carnivores. Le menu est en français & anglais & présente de belles images pour les repas.
Service (3/10): La Mme était gentille, mais ne parle pas français & je devais moi-même me servir l'eau (température pièce) malgré le fait que j'étais le seul client sur place. On est venu me voir qu'une fois à la fin pour me demander si tout était beau.
Prix (7/10): Acceptable, pas trop chère, surtout pour la qualité des repas, mais je ne paierais pas d'avantage.
Ambiance (6/10): Correct, il y a de la musique indienne qui joue, mais rien de réellement déplaisant.
Je conseille pour les gens qui veulent faire de nouvelles découvertes !
If you're looking to eat good South Indian food, please don't go here. If you've never had South Indian food & can't tolerate spicy food, this is a good option. The food could definitely use more authentic flavors & spice. Also hire more staff! The one waitress there was trying her best & provided the best service she could, however it gets overwhelming for her if the restaurant is busy.
If u r craving an authentic taste of south india, look no further than Lakshana chetinad restaurant , from the crispy dosa to the creamy flavourful sambhar each dish is mouth watering . The aroma of freshly grounded indian spices fills the air as soon as u stepp inside! The highlight is undoubtedly the filter coffee ,it's the ideal ending to a meal, offering a rich, smooth, & satisfying finish. Must try its a 10/10
Lakshana Chettinad's dosas are heavenly for the one who appreciate authentic South Indian cuisine. The dosas, with their perfect crispiness & golden-brown edges, are a culinary delight. The texture is thin yet substantial, while the flavor carries the right balance of savory & tangy, often achieved through a well-fermented batter. They serve a variety of dosas, including classic plain dosas & masala dosas stuffed with flavorful spiced potatoes. The accompanying chutneys-like coconut, tomato, & garlic-add an extra layer of flavor, while the sambar is perfectly seasoned, providing a comforting & hearty accompaniment. The combination of high-quality ingredients & traditional Chettinad methods makes these dosas a must-try for anyone seeking authentic South Indian flavors. Lakshana Chettinad has managed to capture the essence of this beloved dish, delivering a memorable experience with each bite.

Authentic south indian food (commenting as a native)! Absolutely worth every penny. Requested for spicy food & got just that! Not the average white-washed Indian food! Lovely service too. Do try! Mango lassi too!
Over fired food to the point it becomes unpalatable. Pakoras & samosas seem old, thawed from frozen & not tasty. Been here twice, twice had tummy problems. The thalis consist of mostly fried food. Stews not good, there is no taste. Feels like a fast food restaurant, not authentic Indian, not tasty.
