Where to Eat Dosa and Other South Indian Food in Montreal | Eater Montreal

"This humble mom-and-pop operation—run by Sanjay Verma and staffed by their two sons—serves a dizzying array of dosas that I found delightful, from a flat Mysore dosa smeared with garlic and red chilli to inventive varieties like ginger, tamarind, green tamarind, and Chettinad-style (fennel, anise, cinnamon, black pepper), with or without potato masala. Dosas arrive on classic stainless-steel thali plates with sambar and two chutneys—the standard coconut and a house-special Andhra peanut chutney you can dip into or pour over—and the place is best known for its well-loved Hyderabadi biryani (lamb on Fridays, vegetarian on Saturdays), prepared dum-style with a thin, pie-like crust; Verma jokes those nights are “busier than Tim Horton’s.” Make sure you order the weekend biryani, the sour and spicy rasam broth, and the seasonal fresh mango lassi." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
