Amazing food & experience ! Some vegan options labels on the menu seem incorrect (cheeze & eggs options surely are not vegan). Overall excellent ! We come once in a while.

We had the special today, Thalappaikattu mutton briyani.
It is very authentic. It is the best briyani I have had in Montreal.
Deserves FIVE STARS.

I was dissapointed with the lunch thali special - first of all it is 20$ that is a bit pricey, second it was like I was disturbing them by being present because it took 20 minutes to have some water brought out & take my order it does not come with naan - & the green vegetables had a very strange seaweed / fishy taste (this was honestly gross & I have a strong stomach , totally inedible)- the mushrooms were cold & the soup I assume was soup just wasted like lemon water. Not impressed with my meal at all .

I am sorry I was really frustrated that's why I give this review,, if you donot know how to manage a restaurant then don't ruin someone's day after 15hrs of work I came to your place hoping to get a good dinner but that didn't happen. You made us to wait for 20 mins no water no one came to take order. You are in Canada & here we expect good customer service. You may be busy but no excuses. I hope you will Learn from your mistakes to better serve the future guests.
