Nice dosa spot in the Glebe. Loved the masala dosa and the mysore masala dosa. Was a bit disappointed the Chana masala is not vegan. The masala was very good!
They are serving best dosa in Ottawa ordered coriander masala dosa buy 1 get 1 free with some order instructions and they were follow the instructions happy with the food quality especially their sambhar is the best. Would definitely order again.

The Glebe’s best kept secret! If you haven’t
tried Maharishi Tanjore you are seriously missing out! I grew up in the Glebe and moved back as an adult and this is absolutely one of the best restaurants ever to grace the Glebe! Excellent food, great staff, FANTASTIC prices!!!! In a time where money is tight, this place is well worth the money and completely reasonable for both food and beverages (including the adult kind!). Locally owned, not a chain, I love this place! My only hesitation to leaving an awesome review is that the secret will get out and I’ll have to make reservations!!!!

Picked up Chettinad chicken curry buy 1 get 1 offer from doordash.
Door was locked and couldn’t enter the restaurant.
Food was not up to standards. The chicken in the “chettinad chicken curry” was minimal. Please refer to picture to what you got for 2 portions each apparently worth $18.

The service was not great. I expect a bit more product quality for this price.
The masala inside the dosa was cold and the crepe was cold too. The staff’s were busy and i tend to find the servers does not have hospitality skillsets including lack of unattendiveness. The sides did not fultfill for a typical masala dosa platter,the chutneys were cold beyond the room temperature also a lot of south indian eateries include stuff like vada in their dosa platters for that kind of a price.
I felt like this place lacks competition for south indian eateries so they have some good inbound traffic.There are certainly a lot of room to improve!

The best Tamil Nadu style restaurant in Ottawa with affordable price for food. It has authentic taste and flavours of Tamil Nadu soil. Especially their breakfast buffet during the weekends from 10am to 1pm for just 16$ is the favourite of mine. I go often there to have the tasty breakfast items in which my priorities are poori, set dosai and idly. They are delicious. Last but not the least, they have introduced newly the chicken biryani which is recently my favourite in their restaurant. Currently they are giving it as BOGO for just less than 20$ in uber eats. It is delicious and has authentic Tamil Nadu biriyani taste. I’m not a big fan of Hyderabad biriyani and absolutely people who are fond of that may not like this biriyani. However, their biriyani is like mother made home biriyani which I can’t find anywhere in Ottawa. I order it often too. I could see that they make food being socially responsible with the ingredients they add which are not harmful to us. This shows that they are health conscious too. If you’re fond of Tamil Nadu style food, blindly this restaurant would be the best choice. My favourite restaurant in Ottawa.

Absolutely enjoyed their weekend breakfast. Taste takes you back to South Indian food back home. Light & crispy medu vada’s - idli’s are great as always dunked in sambhar & coconut chutney - Masala chai is a must have. Consistently good service every single time.

We got the lamb Biryani (10/10) and boneless chicken curry (9.223/10), both recommendations by the server. Also I hear the Perrier is excellent. This review has been peer reviewed by a doctor (PhD, so not a real doctor) ✌️
