We stumbled upon this place on our visit to Ottawa. We loved the food and the service. The taste was truly authentic and not the extra spicy food many Indian restaurants serve.Yes, the highlight was that the food don’t have too much spice or masala. We could taste the flavour without burning our tongue.We orderedMasala dosa 10/10Idli- 10/10Vada-10/10Tomato uttapam -10/10Shrimp fry-10/10Chilli chicken-8/10Shrimp fried rice 7/10Rava dosa 7/10Chicken salad 10/10Masala tea 10/10

I ordered a masala dosa and it was really good. I liked the quantity of chutney and sambhar given. Additionally tomato chutney was also given which was spice enough. The dosa was sufficiently large and good enough for 1 person.

One of Ottawas culinary gems. We recently discovered Mahal Tanjore and it quickly became a family favourite because of its authentic food and convenient location.Vegetarian options: Very pleased that there are so many vegetarian options.

Whenever we make a trip from Montreal to Ottawa, we make sure to satisfy our dosa cravings from here. Great tasting food and good service. They have better quantity as compared to the Montreal locations for the same price. Loving it!

Had a bit of vegetarian appetizers, really liked the cauliflower 65 which is cauliflower bits tossed in a nice sauce. Some of the dishes ordered were not too nice but overall 4/5

Fair to middling. Food was ok, but nothing special. Prices are reasonable.

Visited with family after reading reviews, which says best South Indian food, I am not sure if they never had authentic South indian food or if they are paid or dummy reviews. In the name of Sambhar, it was plain daal, mysore malasa dosa was bland, not sure if they ran out of masala or what. Please save your money and visit some other place. Servers were polite, nothing against them.

We just came back from lunch at this restaurant. Our dosa was not crispy and stuck to our plate and food was lukewarm. Water was warm. Waitress never came to ask if we wanted anything. When we paid the bill and complained about the dosa, she said when your order was ready I was busy with other things and asked if we wanted another one. We were about to leave and expected us to wait for another bad dosa? We have eaten here previously and enjoyed our food. Waste of money and time. Will never go back. We  were planning to bring some more people in the near future but will not.
