Their veg biryani is really bad. It’s doesn’t even taste like Biryani. No masala. Taste wasn’t even close to pulao. Non vegetarians will say there is no such thing as veg biryani, I myself am a non vegetarian, but had to eat veg today. I have had good flavoured veg biryanis as well but this was the worst. Please improve the taste or remove it from the menu.

He's a really sweet host, but if you're looking for authentic taste - neither the chutney, nor the texture of the dosa are close. The sambhar is more like dal, but ok.

I ordered lamb curry, it's definitely below average taste.

As someone who’s spent a considerable amount of time in Chennai, I feel like I’m qualified to review this place. The masala dosa was probably the best I’ve had anywhere. Period. The sandbar and chutney were super authentic. I cannot recommend this place enough!

I used to work a few doors down from this place. One day I decided to try the food and I've been hooked since then. Now when I am in the area I never fail to stop by. The owner/waiter/chef is such a pleasant gentleman. I rate him a 10 out of 10 for customer service. My go-to dish is the Biryani. I find it spicy and would tear up eating but will keep coming back tearing up😂.
The restaurant is not a sit down establishment. There is counter space which is shared amongst 3 restaurants so first come first sit down.
Overall good experience and will be back when I am in the area.👍

Very decent dosa, chutney and sambhar was very good, dosa was Krispy and nice. Freshly prepared. Masala wasn't very great though. It was a quick dinner and a good one.

The Dosa is really good. You can’t eat at the restaurant. It’s a take away only.

Located next to footlocker store. Ordered idly and masala dosa, take away, nicely packed. Not enough space or conducive environment for dine in. Food was nice, came with sambhar and coconut chutney..idly were soft. Hope to eat again if visiting Montreal again.

Found this place closer to our hotel. The briyani was good(not spicy) and chicken pieces were very soft. I wanted to have their masala tea, though it was not readily available, the owner prepared it for me as per my preference. Appreciate the service👏🏻👌🏻
