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.
We had the chili cheese masala dosa & onion rava masala dosa, the sambar & 2 chutneys were so rich in flavuors. I can say that most restaurants cannot match this quality.
Must try!! From a person who's lived in Southern India for 6 years. 😄😄
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.
Had gone here during lunchtime Ordered sweet lassi, mysore masala dosa, samosa chat, & pav bhaji. Mysore masala dosa were very tangy Pav bhaji was sweet Chat was ok Overall, it was a very bad experience
No AC working. The food was so spiced up or too much masala. Not for everyone. Medu vada were great but again spiced with green chili. Wasted our dinner.
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).

Awesome food & service!! We went for lunch & had the rava masala dosa, onion rava masala dosa, paper ghee masala dosa. Pav bhaji, & paneer biriyani!! The dosas were all very fresh & crispy, while the biriyani was super tasty!! Great experience overall!!
Loved the food here. The Paneer butter Masala was amazing. A madrasi twist on paneer butter masala that I really lioed. Felt like comfort food by mom. Plenty of vegetarian options here as well. Would be back again. The playlist was a bonus.
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!

The food was absolutely amazing. I had been craving for South Indian cuisine here in montreal & then I came across Madras Curry House & they serve excellent south indian food. Do try the Masala Dosa. It's ❤️❤️❤️
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.

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.
