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.

Lakshana's offers consistently flavorful South Indian food in a casual, no-frills setting. The dosas are crisp & well prepared, Everything we tasted was fresh, & the menu has enough variety to satisfy both newcomers & regulars.

Service is friendly & efficient, even during busy periods, & orders come out quickly. It's not a fancy spot, but it delivers where it matters: authentic flavors, good value, & reliable quality. A solid choice if you're craving proper South Indian comfort food in the area.

The dosa was fantastic! Perfectly crispy on the outside & soft inside, with flavorful fillings that tasted just right. The chutneys & sambar were fresh & complemented the dosa beautifully. A delicious, authentic treat!

We visited from Vancouver & decided to find some Indian food to eat. We were happy to see great reviews for this place & it makes sense as the food is delicious & plentiful! We ordered the butter chicken & Veggie Pakora & was super happy with how fresh & tasty it was. We never tried South Indian food but it was SO DELICIOUS! We were so full by the end of the meal so we took a little walk around town. Tasty food, kind & courteous staff & really good pricing. What more could you ask for as this place is amazing! Thank you for the tasty food!

I am a regular here as an international student in Montreal & the dosas, idlis & vadas are fresh & perfect taste for our Indian palate. I also love their rava kesari & parottas. Don't forget to ask for their filter coffees!
