Les avis célèbrent de manière constante Lakshana's Chettinad pour ses saveurs authentiques du sud de l'Inde, notamment les dosas, le sambar, les chutneys et l'idli vada, avec de nombreux plats décrits comme frais, savoureux et bien présentés. Les dosas sont notés pour leur croustillant et leur cuisson soignée, les options tiffin et repas maison offrent une personnalisation appréciée et des repas réconfortants. L'atmosphère est chaleureuse et accueillante, le service est amical et efficace et les plats arrivent rapidement, et le restaurant est perçu comme un bon rapport qualité-prix et une adresse fiable pour une cuisine sud indienne réconfortante. Certaines critiques évoquent des incohérences occasionnelles ou des variations du menu, mais l'impression générale est que Lakshana's Chettinad demeure un choix de premier plan pour les amateurs de dosas à Montréal et un endroit fiable pour dîner en famille, beaucoup prévoyant d'y revenir.
The service was EXCELLENT, we came in with a large group (20+) in the afternoon for lunch & the host was on top of everything! The sambaara & dosa were good, idli could be a bit more fluffy & soft but still good. The disappointing menu was the North Indian curries & the manchurian, it was all too sweet & didn't have the right flavor profile. Stick with the dosa.
We were visiting Montreal out of town & craving some good ol' South Indian comfort food. So we ordered from Lakshana's Chettinad South Indian Restaurant, expecting a flavour-packed dinner. What we got instead felt like a prank.
Let's start with the'Naan' - or should I say, pita in disguise. Imagine our faces when we opened the box & saw what looked like store-bought pita bread pretending to be naan. Nice try, but no, naan & pita are distant cousins at best, not identical twins.
The Paneer curry came next, looking promising... until we tasted it. It was sweet & bland, like someone dropped sugar into tomato soup & added paneer as an afterthought. We weren't sure if we were eating dinner or dessert.
The Channa curry was the only dish that somewhat showed up for work, edible, mildly decent, but still missing that warm, spicy aroma you'd expect. It was like the chef forgot to invite the spices to the party.
We really wanted to enjoy this meal, but the food just didn't hit the mark. If you're serious about Indian food, you might want to look elsewhere - or at least keep your naan expectations low!
Lakshana's Chettinad is a true gem in the heart of Montreal. The flavors are bold, authentic, & deeply rooted which are rich, aromatic, & satisfying. The team works with care & consistency, & you can feel the passion in every plate served.
Whether you're familiar with Indian food or trying it for the first time, Lakshana's Chettinad offers a memorable dining experience that's both honest & full of heart. A must-visit for anyone who values authenticity & warmth.
The food is bursting with rich, authentic flavors that transport you straight to South India. From the perfectly spiced Chettinad curries to the crispy dosas & fluffy idlis, every dish is made with care & packed with bold, traditional taste.
The service is warm & welcoming, & the staff are happy to explain dishes or help with recommendations if you're new to South Indian cuisine.
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!!!
