Great indian restaurant in CDN. Would recommend the dosa.
Staff is nice, but they got my order wrong on two consecutive visits, then forgot to remove them from the bill.
Other than that great food.

I studied three years in Montreal, & never knew about this place! Missed out.. Really authentic south Indian food. Everything we ordered was great. Especially the Chettinad masala dosa! Chettinad masala's aroma was so fresh!! Highly recommended.

The food was overly spicy, even for my family members, who love spicy food. The meat was tough & covered up with lots of sauce. First time in an Indian restaurant where food is left in the serving dishes at the end...
The restaurant lacks atmosphere & looks more like a fast food joint with a seating, in my opinion.
Would not go back.

Amazing restaurant with so many different amazing options. Usually I have just tried North Indian dishes with lots of fat but this time I tried this place & it was so much different & amazing. All the coconut flour in the rice was amazing. & the chutney was also so vibrant & beautiful. I had an amazing time. I will come back for another time with some dinner.
