We ordered Chicken Chettinad Masala Dosa, Mango Lassi & Chicken Kothu. The Dosa was good. The portion of the Dosa was perfect & the filling inside was different (variety of ingredients including onions, tomatoes & daals which were not crushed so we could really feel/ taste them👌) from the South Indian restaurants we have tried in Montreal. The only improvement would be for the dosa crepe. It was not crispy enough but this could have been because we ordered the food for delivery. The Chicken Kothu was fantastic!! 👌The portion was generous & large chicken pieces were added. The flavours were mouth watering!! One of the best Chicken Kothu we have had so far! The Sambar it came with was really good! 👌Not too spicy & enough veges in there. It came in a plastic container👎 The coconut chutney it came with was super watery & couldn't see, feel or taste any coconut shredding. Perhaps they use dried coconut. It was NOT AUTHENTIC although it tasted fine. It just wasn't THE coconut 🥥 chutney.👎 The other red ginger garlic chutney was too salty & I think they add a ton of red/ orange food colour to it? NAH! 👎 The mango lassi was NOT GOOD!!!! It was too runny & I could literally taste that after taste of sugar!! Not sure what kind of mangoes they put in there but super low quality & superficial sugary taste! If the mangoes are good, no sugar is required. Mango is already sweet. These came in plastic containers used for curries & not an actual🥤👎

Seemed like the only South Indian restaurant in the block. I ordered their mysore masala dosa. It was basically just chilli flakes, nothing mysore about it. The rest was good - coconut chutney, tomato chutney & sambhar. Nice people but slow service.
