Truly such a hidden gem!! I happened upon Madras Curry House by chance, but it was one of my favorite meals in Montreal. I arrived in the city pretty late, so most restaurants were already closed; in desperation, I looked up an area where it seemed like a few spots where still open, & just walked into the first place that would let me in...& it happened to Madras. The staff greeted me warmly & shuttled me off to a cozy table in the corner (conveniently located next to an outlet) with a pitcher of water. I was absolutely starving at this point, so everything on the menu looked irresistible, but I eventually settled on the vegetarian thali. It was exactly what I needed - warm, comforting, filling, & so very delicious. The meal came with yellow dal, a vegetarian curry of their choice (it was aloo mutter that night), two assorted veggies, a rice / lentil cracker with sambal, & a heaping mountain of basmati rice. Every single item was cooked to perfection & absolutely packed with flavour.
The service was quite simple & no frills, but friendly. It seemed like the entire restaurant was operated by just the chef / owner & just one employee, so it could take a while to get all your food. I, thankfully, only ordered one item so got everything in a relatively timely manner, but heard a few neighboring tables complaining to the chef / owner that they hadn't received certain items. However, I also overheard those tables raving about how outstanding the food was & the way the chef's style reminded them of their home provinces in India...so there's clearly something that keeps drawing folks back to this wonderful hole-in-the-wall spot time & time again. I just happened to walk in, but Madras was easily one of my favorite meals in Montreal. I can't wait to go back & sample more of their menu, especially the dosa!View more
This is a small, quaint restaurant located on Main Street with a decent amount of seating space. The service was friendly & fairly quick. Overall, the food we ordered was quite good. We especially enjoyed the tea, coffee, & mango lassi.
If you're looking for something light with simple, satisfying flavors, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. The portion sizes are generous, & the pricing is reasonable too.View more

Tried the mysore dosa . Being from south india I can say it's freshly made. The sides with the dosa - sambar & chutneys. Absolute bangers!View more
The food was spectacular. Everything from rasam to Podi dosa was delicious. We come from Toronto & having eaten at Gurulakshmi & Sarvana Bhavan our standards for South India food are pretty high.
An absolute must visit if you're looking for authentic South Indian cuisine.View more
We come here quite often for dosa, chicken 65 biryani & chicken 65. It is always very good in taste & quantity.View more
I had Idli Vada combo. Quantity less & Quality more seems to be the idea here. Vada has less oil, sambar & chutnies are thick, not watery. But the sizes of idli & Vada are not that big in comparison to other South Indian Restaurants, you wont feel full & will order more.View more
Decent indian restaurant in the heart of downtown Montreal. Tried the Mysore Masala Dosa, Chicken Masala Dosa, & the Medu Vada. The food was quite good. However, the service & ambience is just okayish. Service can be improved by maybe keeping someone at the front counter or having a bell to alert the staff at the back of house. Prices are on the lower side, so anyone can get decent value for what they pay.View more
