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 😋

We visited this place at a friend's recommendation. We ordered plain masala dosa, mutton biryani & veg fried rice. The dosa was the closest thing to the authentic dosa I had in Andhra. Mutton biryani has changed in taste & tasted better before is what my friend said. The veg fried rice was nice & spicy. You must try this restaurant. Service is amazing, the staff & service is very timely. The ambiance will take you to Thanjavur.

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 💰.
