Today I visited the restaurant & ordered mini tiffin. Food taste was good. However I find chutney was not enough to eat 2 idli & 1 vada & pongal. The chutney cups were half filled. Idili was good. Vada was good too. Sambar tasted very much like rasam with vegetables. I requested more chutney & they gracefully provided more. Thank you. The mini dosa was good, but they dint filled potato 🥔 filling inside, saw just one piece of potato filling. Finally the kesari, they tried really hard to fill the cup, but weren't successful, it's also half filled. & I felt it's dry & not very fresh. They gave me filter coffee , the taste was authentic but not warm enough & half cup of coffee. They dint take cash. Overall my experience was avg. not worth the money 💰.

So we come here often to eat, the food is always amazing & like the food we get in Chennai & India m. Reminds us of home. Ms.Yogyatha , Ms.Mamtha & Mr. Sathish especially have always made sure we are comfy, considering we have a baby with us. There is always extra love & hospitality here. The food is definitely worth trying. Will always be a regular. Great work to the front end & back end team.

THE place for typical Indian food. We've been eating there since years introduced by a couple of Indian 🇮🇳 friends & since this is our reference! Our best are the Gobi 65, The fried schrimps & the samosa chat! The fresh naan is the best The service is fast very friendly & attentive We are returning regularly, this became our comfort food place

I go out of my way to eat here everytime I visit Montreal. The best Chicken 65 & biriyani I've eaten in Canada. They also have lesser known Tamil dishes like murtabak. There's a plaza 1min walk away too where you can always get free parking easily.
