Lakshana's Chettinad est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable à Montréal pour sa cuisine authentique du sud de l'Inde, de nombreux clients saluant la saveur des dosas, les biryanis parfumés et le traditionnel sambar. Le restaurant est fréquemment félicité pour son service chaleureux et son atmosphère accueillante, ce qui en fait un choix populaire pour les sorties décontractées comme pour les repas de groupe. Bien que la grande majorité des convives souligne la fraîcheur, la générosité des portions et la qualité constante des plats, une minorité de visiteurs a noté des variations dans la taille des portions, les prix ou l'intensité des épices. Dans l'ensemble, l'établissement demeure très apprécié pour sa cuisine réconfortante et son personnel dévoué, consolidant sa réputation comme une adresse fiable pour ceux qui recherchent les saveurs authentiques du Chettinad.
came here for breakfast the day of Osh. Got the breakfast tiffin. it came with the masala dosa (good), pongal + with garlic achaar (so good, I bought it), vada (best, freshest vada ever), chutneys were good & spicy, idli (okay) , sambar(good) & this banana dessert (not for me). we also tried the chicken masala dosa which was also good. Very filling brunch
I came to to Lakshana's in 2023 summer with my family & friends from Niagra region & then came recently on May 13 2026. I felt really disappointed 😔 this time. Everything has changed even the taste of the food. We were charged extra for 2 Sambhars & 2 chutneys & when we asked this the lady said it is obvious everyone charges extra for these.
First of all it is not obvious, there are many restaurants which don't charge extra for extra sambhars / chutneys & even if they charge they tell us the time we are ordering them. So really disappointed still not giving them very low ratings because of our previous good experiences with lakshana .
Best dosa(special tiffin recommended at downtown location!!), naan(at cote des neiges) love the puranpoli(great dessert), great people, best background music & atmosphere, I really love the chutneys!!
highlyyy recommended!!!

Lakshana's Chettinad South Indian Restaurant on Saint Catherine has become our go-to spot - my spouse & I visit almost once every month. We always order the Podi Masala Dosa & Uttapam, & they never disappoint! The taste is consistently authentic, the portions are generous, & the flavors remind us of home-cooked South Indian food.
The dosas are perfectly crisp, the chutneys & sambar are flavorful, & the staff is always friendly & welcoming. It's rare to find such good quality & portion size in Montreal for South Indian cuisine. Definitely one of the best spots in the city for dosa lovers!
This place is really good! It is authentic Tamil South Indian food. The food is flavoured to perfection. Please try the special tiffin! You can't go wrong with this choice which will give you a sample of all the Tamil delicacies; there is a scrumptious masala dosa accompanied with coconut chutney & a spicy garlic chutney. You'll also get a medhu vada & a idli. You'll get ven pongal & a delicious pineapple rava kesari as well.
I had a fantastic experience at Lakshana's Chettinad South Indian Restaurant. The authentic South Indian flavors were spot on! The dosas were perfectly crispy, the sambar was flavorful, & the variety of chutneys was delightful. The ambiance was warm & inviting, making it a great place for both family outings & casual dining. The staff was attentive & ensured we had everything we needed. If you're a fan of South Indian cuisine or looking to try something new, this is a must-visit spot. Highly recommended! I lovedddddddd itttttt!!!
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!
