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.
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 ❤️❤️❤️
It's an almost hidden place & most prob you'll miss the small board. Food is a bit spicy if you're not used to Indian cuisine. It's run by a handful of jolly folks, super eager to help you out. Overall, food is good, I'm not sure if I'd want to try it often. Dosas & chicken items are good.

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.
I had the most pleasant experience here. Authentic south food, tastes really great, & most of all, it's really fresh & clean. Please keep maintaining the same standards.
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.
Food was OK, but naan bread was kind of what you purchase at the grocery ( nothing hand made like good indian restaurant ). My friend found 3 hairs in his tali... this is not nice...
Ordered delivery several times from here as Taste is good of some items, they messed up the orders on 2-3 occasions with missing items or poor packaging causing leaks, also don't recommend Dine-In as our experience was terrible.
