Chavishta is the best waitress. Excellent Chettinad Chicken Masala Dosa. My sister had Chicken Tikka Masala & she told me this is the best Indian food she's ever had in Montreal.

We went for the Wada & Dosa, but it was the Sambar that stole the show-it was absolutely out of this world! We couldn't get enough. Beyond the food, the service was exceptional, thanks to the kind gentleman managing the floor.
