They have moved from Downtown to Brossard. We ordered idlis, Masala Dosa, Fish fry (specialty here - don't miss this) & two South Indian coffee. All the items were tasty & freshly prepared!! . (We even took chicken curry to go).

Excellent food & service! The idli was super soft, just like in Tamil Nadu, & the parotta was freshly made & delicious. We loved the authentic taste & the quality of the food. The lady who served us was very welcoming & made us feel at home. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for an authentic South Indian food in South Shore area, you can get delicious food here with homely taste.

While the Curries & Dosas hit the mark, the Kothu & the Biryani definitely need improvement to match the high standard of the rest of the menu.
