Madras Curry House is described as the best Indian restaurant in the greater Montreal area and a much welcomed South Indian option on the south shore. The flavors are said to taste like real Indian cuisine, with idlis and uttapams that are hard to find in Canada and praised for their quality. Dosas with sambar and chutneys, along with dishes like mutton kothu roti and chicken curry, are cited for rich flavors and perfect spice balance. Across visits, the consistency and authentic South Indian style stand out, with many noting comforting, nostalgic, homey flavors that feel like a warm hug. Service is typically friendly and welcoming, though some reviews mention longer waits due to a small kitchen and chef-owner operation. Values are favorable with generous portions and reasonable prices, and beverages such as tea, coffee, and mango lassi receive compliments. Overall, Madras Curry House is seen as a hidden gem worth returning to for dosa, curries and seafood options.
A very authentic Indian restaurant with great hospitality & service. Being a spice lover this is the second place after Surrey I could eat something spicy in Canada. Chicken curry is the best & their chicken thali is great.
Madras Curry House is my forever go-to for South Indian food! I always order online, & most of the time I just leave a little note in the comments, & they actually make it exactly how I like it 🥹❤? From fluffy idlis & crispy dosas to rich chicken curry, comforting vada curry, & the freshest fish & shrimp, every dish is full of authentic flavor. The food is so comforting & nostalgic, it truly feels like a warm hug from home. Thank you for always delivering more than just food!💛

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.
A pleasant surprise in Montreal looking for authentic South Indian food. Salt lassi, vada/sambhar/ idli & chutney was excellent. Taste from chennai, was a great feeling & satisfying.
This is absolutely delicious, authentic South Indian fare. The ambience leaves something to be desired, but the food makes the meal more than worth it. Highly recommend if you're in the Montreal area & seeking a dosa or other South Indian khana

Worst! Tell customer what of kind of Naan you are going to provide. I can get your same Naan from wholesale market. If you are not make authentic Naan. Don't charge with over price. Totally disappointed. Waste of my money & time.i ordered garlic Naan & I think you don't have ready made one. You delivered where I can buy it from local stores all regular Naan. I am wondering how you running your business. I think you are making fool out of customer. I will visit you in person soon & review.
Tasty food, conveniently located. Entry to the place needs to be a bit neater . The washroom & the table covers can do with a bout of sprucing up. This does not affect the delicious food that we had of sookha chicken plate ; uttapam; Mysore dosa. If you love spicy & authentic South Indian food then this place in Montreal is a must try
Best & most authentic South Indian food in Canada (GTA & Montreal). The chutneys are super fresh & flavourful unlike the frozen chutneys (coconut & tomato). Our favourites here are ghee roast masala dosa & vada. For better experience of vadas you can request them to make them crisp. The service is very good & overall a very satisfying experience if you're fond of South Indian food (Tamil style).
I had the most pleasant experience here. Authentic south food, tastes really great, & most of all, it's really fresh & clean. Please keep maintaining the same standards.
I tried the Dosa here, & it was excellent. A nice little restaurant in downtown, an extensive menu - I will revisit to try other items that look very appealing. It's definitely on my list of Indian restaurants in Montreal with a true authentic touch & superb taste.
