Discovered this place after 4 months in Montreal. Was homesick for South Indian food. The rice thali here took us back straight to India; authentic taste of Tamil Nadu! Generous veggie portions. Good ambience as well as service.

The food & services were amazing. Even though the restaurant was closing at 10 PM, we arrived with a group of 20 people at 9:30 PM. They were very accommodating, letting us all in & preparing our meals without rushing us out. The food was incredible, & everyone loved it. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic South Indian cuisine.
