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.
This is a small, quaint restaurant located on Main Street with a decent amount of seating space. The service was friendly & fairly quick. Overall, the food we ordered was quite good. We especially enjoyed the tea, coffee, & mango lassi.
If you're looking for something light with simple, satisfying flavors, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. The portion sizes are generous, & the pricing is reasonable too.
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.
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
