Review Summary

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.

Meilleur restaurant indien dans la grande région de Montréal! Enfin un restaurant du Sud de l'Inde sur la rive-sud! Ça goûte exactement comme la nourriture que j'ai mangé en Inde! 😍 Première fois que je trouve des idlis & des uttapans au Canada & ils sont tellement bons. Peu importe la journée qu'on commande, la nourriture goûte toujours aussi bon, contrairement aux autres restaurants indiens de la région où les mêmes recettes goûtent complètement différentes d'une journée à l'autre dépendamment des cuisiniers. C'est le seul restaurant indien où nous commandons maintenant & nous ne sommes jamais déçus!

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!💛

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.

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.

I'm used to Toronto Indian food, particularly South Indian, & this spot is on par with the absolute best I've had in Toronto, at some big name places. The Masala Dosa is excellent, with the dosa crispy & the chutneys really pop. The Medhu Vada were beautifully crunchy on the outside, & pillowy soft on the inside, & the Idli Sambar were excellent. The Sambar in particular was very well spiced, not hot, but not dull, & chock full of veggies in every bite. Overall, a great experience, & one that I've missed since I've moved to MTL!

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.
