Their Biryani & Dosa are some of the most flavorsome that I've had before. It is also just like an authentic restaurant in India.

I will confirm the food taste good & it has the authentic flavors. Note to the cook. For those that are used to eating spicy food. This is a great spot. But please remember that if we ask for "mild" spicy, you have to advise us if it is possible or not. Spicy food is good but "too" spicy can be dangerous for some that has had an ulcer.

One of the very few authentic Indian restaurants in Montreal. Everything is good but their idlis are simply top notch 👌 😍 Quantity of the food can be increased slightly though 😋
