Good dosa but not worth idlis

Absolutely a gem this place is for south Indian food lovers. Located on a very unusual spot of the housing lane across the Mackay St. Very hard to find at night time as it won't have a super bright lightning board. The food is a top notch factor I gave this place a fantastic 5 ⭐. It's pretty famous amongst the students of Concordia university which is located across the street. The ambience of this place reminds of Indian heritage & the feel of eating home cooked meals with your favorite Hindi Bollywood songs.

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 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.
