Loved their dosa's . Best dosa's I have tried in Montreal so far. Their Kara masala dosa & paneer garlic dosa are amazing. Their coconut chutney & sambar is to die for. Tried their medi wads with sambar it was amazing.

The atmosphere of the red walls, the classical south Asian music & the servers bringing in our food, it was the pinnacle of Indian dinning. Me & my friends went & we all had a great time with the big selection. I especially loved the butter chicken & chicken 65. The bathroom was clean & it was like a nook, well lit & heated while we enjoyed our very tender & delicious food. Will come again 🌟

Ordered boneless chicken biryani , what we got was just some veg pulav rice & a few flavourless boiled chicken pieces here & there. Super disappointed , veggies & tomatoes were seen more than the chicken. If something is missing on the menu it will be great if you can suggest a different dish on the menu rather than just slap a random dish on customers face.

My wife & I used to be regulars here - often once every week. Our last visit has changed that. The lamb Chukka was simply chunks of barely seasoned lamb & fat, swimming in grease. The butter chicken was very spicy - even after we asked for it to be mild. The server could care less & didn't seem to care that I had been served a plate of grease.
Too bad, this used to be a great little restaurant. Must be new ownership.
