Hands down the best South Indian restaurant on the South Shore-their paper dosa is unmatched. The food is outstanding, & the owners & chef make you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you walk in.
Came here for second time. Haven't changed at all from the last time. I came all the way from Alberta visiting Montreal & when I wanted to have some Indian cuisine I came here. I'm not blaming servers but the management from the owner. Will make you wait for long (30mins) just to even take your order. Maybe won't be coming back again.
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.
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.
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.

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
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).
