Super belle expérience que nous avons répété deux fois jusqu'à présent. Le personnel est attentif & attentionné. On réponds a toutes nos questions sur le menu. Très grand choix végétarien. Les crêpes Dosa sont délicieuses. Formule apportez votre vin que j'apprécie toujours. Contrairement à plusieurs autres restaurants indien, les saveurs varient en intensité & en goût d'un plat à l'autre , pas comme si c'était du masala pour tous les plats! C'est notre nouvel endroit préféré en ville!!!

We visited on a Saturday afternoon. We had samosas, the veggie lunch special, & shrimp fried rice. We also had the lassi. We especially loved all the different flavours & experiences in the lunch special & were amazed at the amount of food for the price. The service was both attentive & kind. If we lived here, we would come here often!

Positive review: Ambience: 9/10 Basically food is so good. I tried on SPECIAL MEALS on april 14th, it was so nice. I'm living in montreal since 2021, most of the time we used to go to Toronto for full meals. After tasting here, there is no need to go for that. Feels like home. Food: 10/10 Worth for money: 10/10 Noe they introduced morning tiffen on weekends - mini tiffen. We enjoyed a lot & we had nice breakfast. Must go & try!!!

J'aime beaucoup les dosas, spécialement le dosa avec des champignons & des oeufs & le poulet au beurre. Ils ont une grande variété des plats.
