Review Summary

Reviews paint Lakshana's Chettinad as a place with strong value and consistently good food, where dishes like dosas, biryani, butter chicken, lamb preparations and a beloved sambar rice are frequently praised and portions are described as generous. The service and atmosphere are often highlighted as a key plus, with friendly staff, attentive care, and a warm, rustic setting, though a few notes mention language barriers or occasional lapses in service. Many diners single out the dosas, chutneys, and naan as standouts and repeatedly applaud the richness of flavors and the quality across meals such as chicken thali, chicken biryani, and vegetarian options. A minority report issues including greasy meat, overly spicy butter chicken, or inconsistencies that some attribute to ownership changes. Overall, Lakshana's Chettinad is seen as a reliable go to for south Indian flavors in the area, with several visitors making repeat trips and recommending it for affordable, flavorful meals.

Really quite an incredible biryani. Aloo gobi was delicious & the naan was hot & soft.

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 !

Wow. The lady who served us was so kind & friendly, & it is one of the best services I've had. My sisters & I came on Friday, & she let us enter before 5, even though they only start working at 5. We ordered after 5, & all went well. The food was hot & fresh, she was timely, & the food was AFFORDABLE compared to other indian restaurants & SO GOOD.

The gulab jamun was alright, but everything else was simply amazing. We got the garlic naan, butter chicken, lamb rice, pekora & gulab jamun.

I love the food. But warning to all customers: do not use the machine to pay tips. I learned from an employee there that the cheapskate boss DOES NOT give the employees any of the tip money & pockets it all. Corporate greed is why this place gets 2 stars. Give the employees their tips in cash. Otherwise, I recommend the briyani here, it's great.

Had an amazing dinner with our uncle & aunt... four of us ordered 3 type of Dosas ie Mysore Masala dosa, Chicken Chettinad dosa & Podi dosa with ghee kothu paratha , Rava Kesari & Mysore pak...It was amazing specially the coconut & garlic chutney with the dosas reminding us of our local udupi restaurants in mumbai. The hostess who was Punjabi but used to live in himachal (sorry forgot to ask her name) was delightful catered to our small demands & always smiling. We would definitely visit this place if we we ever pass through montreal again.

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.

Been in Montreal for a month & whenever I needed a good hearthy meal or comfort food, this was a place to go. The service is great & two waitresses who work there were so kind & nice & made the whole experience of eating here even better. In short, good food & even better service-this place feels like home.

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
