Food was really good , sneha served us today & she was very patient & friendly. We went to have South Indian food since there was a madras curry house at that place before but ended up having North Indian cuisine & did really like it my favourite was their chicken fried rice .
We went there to have dosas & it was the BEST , we ordered Veg masala dosa & chicken dosa & the taste felt like authentic indian taste which is really hard to find here in Mtl, highly recommend this place if you are a dosa lover.
As a non-indian, coming into the pre-innovated, family-run style restaurant & eating with other locals was part of the charm.
Therefore, my visit to this place after many years of absence came at a shock. The usual tables got replaced by marble tops with fancy silverware, & reusable napkins. The paper menus wrapped in worn-out plastic cover? Replaced by a QR code.
Sitting down, I ask our lovely waitress - who, throughout the whole dining experience, routinely comes back asking us awkwardly if everything was okay, almost to overcompensate the service level to match the restaurant's new aesthetic - if they still had all the items from the Madras Curry House era, to which she confirmed. At a relief, I ordered my usual. The mashed potatoes inside the dosa was evenly spread, instead of a big chunk tossed in like before. & the dosa itself was crispier. The lamb curry did not disappoint with its explosive spicy flavour. Yet somehow, it tasted more bland in its Ikea-branded bowl, instead of the unusual silver lamp shaped vase served during Madras' era.
Even the post-meal licorice - presented usually in a bowl at front, offered only to those who dare to pick up the spoon & place the seeds & sugar in their hand before eating it - got the gentrification treatment. It is now simply a colorful licorice candy.
When I use to be welcomed into Madras Curry House by the inescapable smell of curry coming from the kitchen, & the Indian students eating their dinner with their hands, all laughing & chatting about their day in a language I did not understand, I knew I was the foreigner, the outsider, the visitor. I embraced it & I made it part of my experience. Now, it seems like the renovation was a desperate attempt to cater to people like myself, the outsiders. But by doing so, it booted the essence of what made the restaurant charming & alive in the first place.
Maybe I am a purist, but I truly believe not every restaurant needs a'modernization'.
I am happy for the owners & I congratulate them for the successful renovation of the establishment. But my memory of me frequenting Madras Curry House will remain just that, a memory.
The food was absolutely delicious & full of flavors & perfectly spiced. The portions were generous, the presentation was lovely, & everything tasted so fresh.
The service was friendly & warm, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back & recommending this place to anyone craving real, tasty Indian food!

Few Indian restaurants have satisfied my craving for a good samosa these days. Most use subpar potato & pea combinations, but the samosas at Vedha delight & surprise. The chai + samosa for $5 special was very worth it, I urge all customers to give it a try, caffeine-tolerance permitting! We got some delicious Tandoori Momos as well. Heavenly.
'Food was amazing! Super tasty & full of real Indian flavor. The staff were really nice too & the vibe was chill. Totally coming back for the butter chicken & naan!'
