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!
First i wanted to say the ladys working over there are super nice ! The price is affordable to eat over there , also they give you a discount on first sight when you gave them review (up to you) . I loooooove indian food the past 10 years , the restaurant is cozy , very very clean & spacious ! Located in downtown. Food is suuuuper delicious & fresh. I highly recommend :)
the best south indian restaurant so far. they serve the best fresh sambhar with their signature chutneys especially the coconut one. we ordered Onion & masala Dosa along with Idli on the side. It all tasted great. their customer service was up to date, friendly & clean environment.
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!
