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!💛
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.
Tried the biryani 65 chicken with rice , i was hooked after the first bite , so flavourful & delicious, perfectly executed, service was very friendly , i will be a regular from this day forward
Wow, what a surprisingly good meal! Partner had chicken korma which was ok but chicken&potato dosa was amazing! Well spiced, with 3 interesting sauces (only one was too salty), a huuge crepe-like thingy with fresh & nicely spiced chicken inside. Also, a huge plus for mango lassi which was not too sweet & just the right balance between mangoey & milky.

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
It's an almost hidden place & most prob you'll miss the small board. Food is a bit spicy if you're not used to Indian cuisine. It's run by a handful of jolly folks, super eager to help you out. Overall, food is good, I'm not sure if I'd want to try it often. Dosas & chicken items are good.

We always choose this restaurant when we're in the downtown (near Guy-Concordia) area. It has a relaxed atmosphere, the food is tasty, & the prices are reasonable. The chicken curry is fantastic, & other South Indian dishes like dosa, idli-vada, & utthapam are delicious. However, I'm not a fan of the rotis here. Overall, we recommend it.
Felt like being cheated with the menu. The dishes served are not the same as the name of the dishes. Tried chicken 65 - not good chilli chicken - worst I have ever I had. The amount of sauce in the dish is just unbelievable. Chicken 65 Fried Rice - the worst one ever had. Fried rice is supposed to be a fried rice not rice over cooked & sticky. & I haven't seen so much sauce being used in fried rice. Dosa items are really good. Need to think about changing the chef or the method of cooking. not worth the money except dosa items.
I tried the chicken 65 Biryani. Honestly it was not put together as Biryani. It was more of chicken pieces with masala rice. I would rather prefer Biryani from Hyderabadi Adda or Does Point. Quantity was also not too great compared to the price we paid.
Not very happy with the specific item.
Amazing restaurant with amazing authentic South Indian food. Crispy dosai & flaky parotta are highlights. After a long time had authentic ' chicken sukka' & crispy chicken 65. Even my kid walked over to let them know their food was so good. Must visit if you love South Indian cuisine.
I tried a variety of dishes at Biryani À L’Agneau & had a great experience. The Lamb Biryani ($17.00) was flavorful & the paratha ($3.50) was deliciously flaky.
The Cheese Naan ($2.50) could have been softer, but the Chicken Chettinad ($16.50) & Lamb Kurma ($18.00) were both rich & well-spiced. The Chicken Masala Dosa had the perfect amount of heat, allowing the different flavors to shine.
The service was prompt & friendly, & though I ordered takeout, the ambiance was a bit lacking. The restaurant's exterior resembled an apartment building, with only the sign giving it away. Parking is a bit hard to find.
We were a group of 5 on a busy Saturday night. Service was excellent & prompt. The owner/ cook surpassed himself on the quality & freshness of the food. We ordered Chicken 65, mixed South Indian appetizers, dosas. The dosas were extremely crisp. Our takeout orders were also amazing. I highly recommend all the food especially the dosas & Chicken 65.
