It was a quick decision to have dinner there, & it turned out to be a great choice compared to some other South Indian/Sri Lankan restaurants in Montreal. I will definitely go back. The main dishes, desserts, & filter coffee all seemed to be made in-house & were very tasty.
The staff is very polite. We ordered their masala dosa, sambhar was nice, however they had a touch of north indian in the masala aaloo.
Overall it was okayish
I have been taking the weekly tiffin service (6 days a week, Monday off) & I'm very satisfied. The food is always fresh, homely, & delicious. The owner lady is very kind & polite, & she genuinely cares about quality & taste. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable & tasty home-style meals.

I had sambhar ghee rice , mixed veg sabji ,paneer sabji & tirupati ladooo !! Yes they have emde it exactly the same way it tastes. Mixed veg I m buying again
Loved the tiffin & biryani. The best part is how customizable the meals are! If you don't want a particular item in a combo, they're happy to alter it, which is a big plus. Great food! I will highly recommend!
This is how I control my cravings for South Indian food! Dosa & Uttapams & sambar are great here! Friendly service, good price & BYOB! :) 3 min from metro! Highly recommend!
