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.
