Madras Masala

Great South Indian food done right! 🍛 From the crispy Chicken 65 to the flavorful Hyderabadi Chicken Curry and sweet Rava Kesari, every dish was delicious. Madras Masala is a must-visit for anyone craving bold, flavourful Indian food in Toronto 🇨🇦✨

Madras Masala is my real good for South Indian flavours in Toronto! 🇮🇳 Loved the Chilli Egg Dosa, it was served hot and was super crispy. The Hyderabadi Chicken Curry was full of spice and flavour paired with Garlic Naan. The staff is friendly, the portions are great, and it honestly feels like a taste of Chennai right here in Ontario!

I got the combo for dinner and it’s a great deal. It comes with an entree of your choice and even dessert. Lovely south indian food that was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend!

I had such a lovely experience at this dosa place! The food was fresh, flavourful, and served hot — just the way I like it. The dosas were perfectly crisp on the outside and soft inside, with chutneys and sambar that hit the spot. What made the visit even better was the service. The waitresses were genuinely kind, attentive, and made us feel right at home. It’s always a joy when great food is matched with warm hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone craving South Indian comfort food with a side of great service!

One of the few places in downtown Toronto where you can still find authentic South Indian food after 9 PM – and it does not disappoint! I’ve been craving real South Indian flavors made with less oil and high-quality ingredients, and I finally found it here. I’ve tried their Mutton Biryani, Rava Dosa, and other dishes, and every single one has been spot-on. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable for downtown. This has quickly become one of my go-to spots after work, and honestly, I’m obsessed. Whether you’re grabbing a late-night bite or looking for a place to enjoy a proper meal with friends, Madras Masala is definitely worth visiting.

We ordered Mutton Chetinad and Malabar Paratha. The food tasted amazing and we got Badam Halwa to finish the meal which was perfect way to end the meal. Would totally recommend specially for South India Non Veg meals.

I ordered chettinad biryani and it was really good. The quantity is good for 2 people. I would love to come again and try other dishes!

The food here is delicious! The combo is really worth it. The service is also amazing; we were confused by what to order as we're not familiar with the names of Indian food but our server was so patient and explained everything to us.

Madras Masala is without a doubt the BEST East Indian food in Toronto. The food is authentic, tasty, large portions and made to perfection. If you want the best Try Madras Masala you will thank me later!!!

My friends and I came here for lunch on a weekday and were seated outside on their patio which has a good amount of shade. I got their veg thali which came with my choice of veg curry - shahi paneer, channa masala, alu mutter, rice, bread, dessert. For $15.99, it was an amazing filling feast that left me so full I couldn't finish the rice. The shahi paneer was SO creamy and flavourful. I think I found my most favourite Indian curry! All the dishes were hot and yummy. The bread I believe was roti and dessert was a single gulab jumun that was soaked in a very very sweet sauce. My friend got their mysore masala dosa, chicken biryani, and meat thali. They all enjoyed it and also complimented the portion. Service was wonderful and I will definitely be returning to have their thali onc more.

Located at the western edge of Christie Pits and Bloor Street West, MADRAS MASALA serves Veg & Non veg dishes with its Huuuge Dosas being their delicious signature offering such as this pictured RAVA DOSA - Cream of Wheat & Rice crepe stuffed with Potatoes and Onions, served with Sambar & 3 types of Chutney. Service is courteous and efficient with decently priced food. Finger Licking Good!

Been wanting to visit a Indian restaurant with both dosa and meat dishes and found this. Loved the masala dosa which comes with two chuteny and sambar and potatoes. We also got the butter chicken and naan: the butter chicken was generous with protein but the only down side was that it wasn't as creamy- it was more tangy. The staff was knowledgeable and made sure to check in for water and other items. Food came out extremely fast as well!

My favourite spot for South Indian food. The mutton biryani is to die for and dosas and other vegetarian breakfast dishes are very yummy very personable service. The ambiance is good, considering that it is a casual dining place.

Right next to Christie Pits park. Nice and convenient after lunch. Food is only 3 stars though. Ordered the chicken masala and it was a bit runny. Expensive for what you get. After tip, it was about $60 for 2 people. Was only OK.

One of the BEST spots in Toronto for dosa. I don't think I ever really had much of a taste for dosa until I came here. We started off with the chaat papri and pani puri which were super flavorful and yummy. We also ordered idli and vada, the vada especially was excellent; so freshly made and crispy. The real star of the meal however was the dosa. We ordered chili cheese masala, chili onion masala, Mysore masala, and regular masala dosa, all of which were absolutely delicious. They were warm and crispy, and remained crispy even after the dosas were out and had cooled for a bit. The sambar and chutneys were delicious as well. The chili cheese dosa definitely had some spice to it, so be careful if you cannot handle your spice that well. One of the downsides was that the service was slightly slow. We also ordered the Gulab jamun for dessert, which is normally one of my favourites, however I was not a fan of this one. I was prepackaged, cold and slightly hard. I would recommend getting dessert elsewhere. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, and will go back anytime I am craving dosa!

Came here for a dinner and the food was good, especially for the area not having other such authentic options for Dosas and South Indian food. I had the rasam which was spicy and hot, vadas which seemed re heated, uthappam was not the type I was used to. The mysore masala Dosa was my favourite.

THE SAAG. I am obsessed with the saag. If I had to choose one thing to eat for the rest of my life, it would be the Madras Masala's saag. I've ordered it countless times and it never disappointed. It's difficult to choose between the saag paneer and the saag chicken, but it's the right decision either way. The chicken is never dry and the paneer is always fresh. but it's really about the saag. it's creamy. it's green af. it's the perfect smoothness - not too smooth like a smoothie but also not strands that'll get stuck in your teeth. it's got that saagy flavour of which I can't get enough.

I was looking for a south indian place that makes authentic dosa,idly and sambar. Glad I found it! Love the patio, easy parking and the park nearby. Will definitely come again! Just the patio table can be improved a bit. Our table slightly too close to park fence and hence some buggy friends wandering around.

Haven't been here in awhile but was craving Indian food. I got the coriander potatoe dosa. Good: good size, sambar nice Bad: the filling is bit mushier not too many chunks of potatoes. I'm used to getting the coriander mixed with my potato but the coriander was like thin paste put on my dosa itself. The unfortunate result was not crispy edges. the dosa was still tasty to eat Sambar: I liked it. Was mild so if you want Indian hot, this is not the place. It taste homemade. But if you want an extra side of it as I found it wasn't enough, you are charged for it $1 but I've been places where it's no extra charge. Overall decent place for dosas. Can't say it's my favourite but it will do in a pinch

Dosa and spicy chai is the world's best combination on a cold breezy day. Madras Masala is as good as dosa gets (at least before I visit a dosa street vendor in South India). If Yogi Bear lives in Christie Pits, instead of "pic-a-nic baskets", he would be at Madras Masala, devouring gigantic dosas! My friends and I shared the cheese mysore masala dosa, paper masala dose, and rava dosa at Madras Masala! Each dosa came with coconut chutney, tomato coconut chutney and sambar. The cooling sensation of coconut chutney complimented the warming spices perfectly. The SPL rava dosa ($10.99) is embedded with crispy caramelized onions in the batter of semolina and rice flour. The sweetness from onion balanced the savoriness of the potato masala. The crunchy exterior juxtapose the soft interior. The cheese mysore masala dosa ($10.99) resembles grilled cheese, expect this Indian grilled cheese is stuffed with masala potatoes and onions. If potatoes and grilled cheese had a love child in India, it would be cheese mysore masala dosa! The paper masala dosa ($11.99) stuffed with potato masala, is the size of my torso! That dish alone is enough to feed a small army! Typically, the aromatic potato is mixed with 10 to 12 different herbs and spices! The complex flavors oscillate between sweet and savory; spicy and fresh, pungent and fragrant. Dosa is an interplay of earth's bounty. Dosa is the synthesis of divinity!

It's a cozy little spot for dosa. This is my first time trying does, it was a interesting texture. The service was very friendly and the waitress gave us some suggestions. Food came rather slowly, but hopefully that means it's just made. Price was low, if you are curious to try some southern Indian food, this is a convenient place.

Enjoyed the hyderabad dum biryani with mutton. The mutton was very tender and the biryani was cooked well! Also had the special rava masala dosa which was good, and the fish dosa. I didn't like the fish in the fish dosa - it tasted super fishy. The dosa itself was still tasty though, dipped in all the different sauce options!

My very first experience with authentic South Indian cuisine and I absolutely loved it! My boyfriend and I were wandering around the area to find a place for brunch but we ended up here, and I guess why not? The place is tiny yet cozy. The staff was quick assigning seats for us. He was very nice and helpful. We ordered dosa and papri chaat. I was told that these dishes are one of the most popular street food in South India. The food came out late but they were warm and nice. Papri Chaat came out first with cilantro (hari) chutney. Indian tacos? Anyways, it is little crisp round spiced crackers, layered with spices, chickpeas and drizzled with yogurt. And the sweet, tangy and savory taste made me fall in love with this dish right away. I think I'm ready to try other "chaats" haha. We ordered 2 different dosas and I was surprised of how big they are. Each dosa came with different types of chutneys: coconut chutney, tomato coconut chutney, and sambar. They all tasted amazing! The cheese dosa was a bit salty though. They were all perfectly crispy and delicious. My first impression with real Indian cuisine was marvelous! I was impressed with the food and the staff here !! One of those hole in the walls where the food is pretty authentic (according to the boyfriend). But I will definitely come back to this restaurant to try out other dishes when I'm around this area.

I want to give Madras Masala four stars but I can't. After many visits to Madras Masala, I have to admit that their dosas are good but they are not outstanding. We ordered the veggie cutlets and medhu vada as appetizers and paper masala dosa as mains. The veggie cutlets were filled with spiced potatoes breaded and fried to a crisp and paired well with the mint and tamarind chutneys. The cutlets were a nicely-sized portion and were easily shared between two people. Yummy! The medhu vada (fried savoury lentil "donuts" aka vada served with sambhar and coconut chutney) was only OK. The vada were not crispy and both the sambhar and coconut chutney lacked flavour. Disappointed! The paper masala dosa was beautifully large and perfectly crispy. The crepe aka the dosa was not very warm by the time it reached our table. The potato filling aka the masala was good. The coconut chutney was bland, maybe even stale. The sambhar was too mild. Overall, the star and saving grace was the tomato chutney which gave the savoury dish a slightly sweet tartness. Overall, I will be back because there are many other dishes to try!

Monster-sized dosas!!! We were on the hunt for a place for dosa around the downtown core as we were surprised that there weren't any within a short walking distance from the University Avenue. As we ventured further west on Bloor - a friend recommended as this was THE place to go for dosa so we couldn't resist! The plaza is bit oddly located as there is actually 2 restaurants in the same building with a couple of parking spots. The restaurant does have a large outdoor seating area which is great for a summer time dinner. They even managed to fit our huge group of 12 people together. As a group, we ordered a slew of mouth watering appetizers that included medhu vada, idly, pani puri. Having never had pani puri - I wasn't sure what to expect as it was a combo of crispy shell with a chickpea sauce. But after the first bite - I was sold on it and immediately had another one :). For our individual meals, I ordered the mysore masala dosa where I wasn't sure if was enough. Based on my prior dosa experiences, I thought it was going to be small - boy - I was wrong. The waiter brought out an enormous dosa folded in a triangle that covered the entire metal tray. The dosa are also served with sambar and chutney. The dosa was super crispy with tasty potato filling. Not spicy at all unless you dipped it in to hot sauce. A few others ordered their gunpowder and chili cheese which was much spicier! This has certainly raised my dosa experience by a whole new level - if you have never had dosa before - Madras Masala is the place to try it!

My wife and I decided to try this place as I was craving a dosa. She got the butter chicken with naan. I got the cheese dosa and I was quite impressed with it. The naan was amazing however a little too oily. When it came to the butter chicken - I really thought they could have done better. It was a little too sweet and very 'whipping creamish' For desert, I tried the rava kesari which was ok. The masala tea was alright as well but not as good as the places on Gerard st. The service was absolutely fantastic and the servers were really kind and attentive.

Great dosas! Indian food feast. Great variety. Good service. Family atmosphere. Authentic cuisine

I have been on a quest for the last year to find a good Dosa place! I think my quest has come to an end! Last night my boyfriend and I came here to try out the place. First off, I was off work late so we arrived with literally 40 minutes left and they didn't turn us away, even though we were there way after closing still eating. We ordered the Chicken 65 for an appetizer. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. It would of been a lot better if they were actual chicken pieces, they were like chicken bites in a way. Little rolls of chicken perhaps? My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Dosa and I ordered the Masala Dosa. When they came out my boyfriend was in disbelief with how huge his chicken dosa was. He liked his Dosa so much and for once he couldn't finish his food! Luckily, he has leftovers for the next day because it was so good! For myself, the Masala dosa was amazing! Right amount of potatoes and onions and that tomato chutney is my favourite! I finished all mine! (Curious what that says about me? Hahaha) I will definitely be back again! This will be my new place for sure! The only reason for the four star is, it was a little slow getting the drinks back out when we ordered them again. Other then that amazing!

Four words: chilli cheese masala dosa. It is SO good. I had never had a stuffed dosa before, so when it came (it was twice the size of my head) i was in shock, but i ate the WHOLE thing. It was dense, gooey, potato-ey, spicy. I'll just say it again... it was SO good. I tried the special rava dosa but the chilli cheese is way better. The place is small and sometimes you might have to share a table with someone, but go. Go and eat the giant dosas. Also, there's limited parking out front, but if you drive to the other side of christie, there is plenty of free parking there. You will need the walk after you eat anyway.

Customer service was good the guy was friendly and very professional. The food was not that great the dosa was not crispy as I expected. Still not bad for dosa as it is located in downtown and easily accessible. The coffee was good, perfect filter coffee.

so nice staff. food amazing and well worth the walk from centro

If I could put 0 stars I would. When you enter, the restaurant is extremely cramped, we had to wedge in between the other table and shift the table back and forth until we could both sit down. My friends food was so so, not worth the trip. The staff was not aware of basic hospitality. A bit rude, and service was slow. Half way through my aloo Chana, I discovered a huge hair wrapped in the curry. I called over the server, and she wanted me to tell her across the restaurant what I needed, instead of coming to the table (again because it's so cramped). Me being decent did not feel like yelling to the almost full restaurant about the hair in my food. She finally came to the table and then when we told her and showed her. She simply came and said "oh I'm sorry it doesn't usually come with this" what does this even mean? Disgusting. She then went to the kitchen and went in and yelled there is a hair in the aloo Chana. She tried to offer me more food but I was too grossed out, we got the bill. My friend saw the bill and the aloo Chana was not taken off from the bill. He asked if they were seriously going to charge us. I then said, you all had a meeting right in front of us about the hair, so you all are aware of this... so this isn't acceptable. They removed it from the bill. It was such a bad experience, as soon as we walked in we should have left. Do yourself a favour and don't come here.

Awesome place, my wife and i were outside reading the menu trying to decide of it was a good place and a father and son came out and talked us through the menu. Everyone was really friendly. I had the Gunpowder Dosa and my wife had the Veggie Kofta Curry. We loved both dishes. I was stunned as to how huge the Dosa was but it was terrific. The only down side was that my wife's dish came out 10 minutes after mine.

So I went to Madras Masala last weekend near Christie station. And I mention the station because we went by car and struggled to fine parking lol. Next time I might go through the station - but that's a good thing, there is a next time! So this a cozy little South Indian restaurant however I noticed that their menu extends beyond South Indian dishes, which is a good thing of course, however my friend and I decided to stick to our plan of coming here for the dosa. And we're glad we did because these are some of the biggest dosas I have seen! I ordered a rava dosa which was about a 1m long but super thin and folded nicely on my thali. My friend had a chilli onion dosa which was also huge and filled with chopped onions. I didn't like the onion dosa so much because I thought the onions wouldn't be raw but I guess that's how you are supposed to eat an onion dosa? I really don't know. But my rava dosa was on point! And it had curry leaves and cashews and spices in the rava dosa! A really good experience with my first ever rava dosa. However when it comes to the potato filling and chutnies....that's where I wasn't so happy. The potato filling that I was served seemed a bit watery lol. I'm new to south indian foods but i have tried other potato fillings that were more oily and not watery. Not sure if it's always like this, but I didn't like the potato masala. As for the tomato chutney....It was good but a bit different than what I'm used to. But the coconut chutney was yummy and authentic. And Sambar, Sambar is always good :) Overall this is a place I would return to for the dosas which were about $10 a plate. And I would return to try some of the other dishes as well. I also want to try the chili cheese dosa that everyone talks about. Service was really good too on top of that, and we got to talk to some nice people there. Overall it's worth trying :)

Awesome. Just awesome. Came here with 14 people for a work lunch. The waiters were so accommodating and the food was so good!!!! The decor although lacking did not bother anyone. So friendly. Filled all of our waters a million times. We're incredibly attentive to our every need. On top of this the food was fantastic and HUGE... most of my team got: 7. Pani puri - like little crispy shots of green sauce and chickpeas and potatoes 8. Papri chat - crispy Indian nachos covered in sour cream 4. Medhu vada - south indian dish salty donuts with a coconut and vegetable dip 71. Kothu paratha best one!! OMG this was good. Like a fried rice but made with torn up Naan. This was the best thing we had. It was SO good. I cannot explain how delishious this was. 90. Paper Masada dosa! Very cool and very tasty. It was a really cool experience. Mango ginger ice 112. Malaika kulfi

Madras Masala is an Indian spot full of character perched at the edge of Christie Pitts park. It's almost impossible to miss because all it takes is following your nose. I've had Indian food a handful of times in my life. I think the last time I tried it I was 18. So I was super hesitant to try this place. I'm glad I tried it. I had an Indo Chinese chicken fried rice and some chicken manchurian. It was good. For someone not too familiar with this type of food, it's a good starter. I think the best thing here is the dosa's. It's not on the menu, but spring coriander dosa's are delicious and a safe non spicy start for anyone. They are also huge, unless you haven't eaten for a week you should have leftovers for a snack later. Also the almond chicken (Badami chicken) is freaking delicious. Creamy and with a slight nutty taste, it's really good. A lot of the food here is extremely flavourful and there is undoubtedly a lot of kick in their food. But I think if you go in here expecting that you should be fine. I also tried a bunch of appetizers (thool baji, paneer pakora, chicken 65) again all very good but a different flavour for me. The server was awesome. He was patient and explained everything to our table. Also, he remembered everyone's order (about 15 of us) without a notepad. Impressive! The decor is not a reason to go but they have a patio that I imagine is nice to linger at in the summer. I'll definitely be back!

Best masala dosa in town! Great portions and incredibly fresh. Ordered through ubereats.

This is the only Indian place I've ever seen with a patio. On a gorgeous day it was so nice! For an appetizer we got the onion badji with tamarind and cilantro sauces. It was very good. The other appetizer we got was something with whole chick peas in it and covered with yogurt, tamarind sauce, and cilantro sauce. It was served cold and I didn't care for it that much. We got some soft drinks and they were charmingly served in glasses with a bowl of ice and a spoon on the side. For our main courses we got the chicken kothu paratha, and two lamb curries, one tender. All were good. We had it served with paratha and rice. Overall a great evening.

I had the ghee dosa and my partner has the chili cheese dosa. Both were delicious, we did both prefer the ghee dosa. Both were filled with potato and onion. Our food came with 3 dips I don't remember what they were but all three were good. We also ordered the mango lassi and the royal falooda. Both were delicious and the royal falooda was so good. We'll come back again for some dosa, it's delicious.

Absolutely loved this place! I'm from south India and know a good sambar from a bad one, and this place was amazing. I had the Idli with the three chutneys and they were all so good. The idli was extremely soft and tasted great. I tried the Masala Dosa as well and liked that too but I will definitely be coming back for the Idli and the tomato chutney :)

This is a very good South Indian place and their specialty is the 'Madras Masala' curry which can come with any kind of meet - I had the chicken. Curry was great, but the vegetables were added later, so they were not cooked properly, which is annoying. Also had Lentils Soup - great, Dosa - pretty average, Lamp Briyani - great, and few other items, all of which were good, but not the best indian in Toronto. The ambiance is nice, we were 4 people so stayed on the patio, sunny and a bit away from Bloor, so you don't get exhaust gasses.

It's not a fancy looking place but if you are looking for good Indian food you will find it here . Great dosa, yummy chutney , sambar like home , even the Biriyani is much better than anything you will find in any Indian restaurant in North America. I was very surprised to find such well prepared Indian food in a restaurant with such simple decor . Our server was also very nice and respectful, which is also not common in Indian restaurants. What a nice experience

I have been craving dosas forever and FINALLY got my fix!! I ordered the gunpowder masala dosa. Warning, it's called that for a reason. You know when you eat a powdered donut and accidentally breathe in the icing sugar? Yah, that happened to me. But unlike icing sugar, this stuff will burn up your insides. STILL WORTH IT. Service was very friendly and thankfully I showed some restraint and ONLY ordered a dosa, since I couldn't even finish it. So pro tip, go with a bunch of people and share if you want to try everything. Also, this place has limited seating and got VERY busy after 7, so come early or get ready to wait!

so the fiance took me on a bday trip to toronto :) ANd i insisted while ther we had to have him try his first dosa. He kept asking what is it??...... my answers were one of these two statements every time he asked "dont worry about" or "its delicious thats all you need to know". lol He looked stuff up and decided it was a rice pancake and thought it sounded boring. I said just you wait. SO we stopped in madras masala while we were wandering around the city. I order all veg (which i almost never do) and the fiance took it in stride. I ordered my fav since i was a kid puchkas!!! They call them pani puris, but they'll always be puchkas to this bengali. ANd we also got the mysore masala dosa. The dosa was great and exactly what a first dosa experience should be for someone. The fiance conceded indeed there was nothing boring about this crispy "rice pancake". He also loved the sambar. I myself am always partial to the coconut chutney that comes with. We had fun with the pani puri but iv never found a place outside of india that makes them quite right....but then what do ya expect i guess. We ate every bite so clearly they werent bad by any means ;) The menu was pretty big and i'd have loved to try more stuff but we were being good so alas till next time for the gobi manchurian, the chat and all the other delicious things that i crave!!

I visit Madras Masala at least twice a month in the summer months. We've also ordered delivery a few times. The food is still decent, but the Chili Cheese Dosa has gone downhill. In fact, the last time, I had to search for any actual cheese. It also appears they switched to orange cheddar cheese as opposed to the nice white stuff they used before. They also haven't been able to make it spicy enough for me the last few times. I'm sensing a new cook or a quality issue. It's still a solid choice, and the Coconut Milk Chicken Biriani is a great dish. Probably my fave rice on earth. I'll be back, but I want to know what happened to my dosa.

So the unfortunate reality about Toronto is that it's actually really hard to find great Dosas! That being said, Madras Masala is pretty good; you'll be just fine coming here as there really isn't a better option downtown that I know of. My 3 stars really should be a 3.5 but that's not possible with Yelp and 4 stars just doesn't seem right. If you haven't experienced South Indian cuisine, then you will have no problem enjoying this place. Most importantly, I can confidently say that I have been here multiple times and will return multiple times again in the future. Enjoy. :)

I recently shared a dosa as big as my thigh with a pal here and it was one of the best meals I've had in a while. The menu has dosas by the dozen, but again I point to my thigh and warn you that these bad boys are for sharing! Definitely my place to get curried away in the west end. PEPPER POINTS: I can't say enough about this staff. They are professional yet fun and super sweet.

Had a very satisfying masla dosa here which was the size of the table! Hubbie had the kottu paratha and they made it super spicy and even added an egg per his requests. Service was great for a small joint. Not a fancy place for hosting guests or taking dates but the food will keep you coming back. Place was packed on a Thursday night.

The place is just fine. I had uttapam and medu vada here. I sat outside on a wobbly table. Service was kind of slow for everything, taking order, serving and getting the check. Uttapam tasted fine but the chutneys could have been better.

This place has amazing dosas. I had the gun powder, rava masala, and the Mysore masala ones. All of them very tasty. Plus the chutneys are very good as well. Seating outside is also a plus as the indoors part of the place is small. I already came to this place five times just this month, and will definitely keep on coming back

I took my best friend Oupary as we are adventurous when it comes to food and since my friend has never had Dosa I thought why not try Madras Mahal because it was next to my other favourite Indian Restaurant. We ordered 2 Dosa's... The Chicken Dosa & The Masala Potato & Onion Dosa. It was delicious, mouthwatering & not as heavy as it looks. The restaurant has a beautiful patio but lacks in the interior of the restaurant, not much space if you want to come in a group. The menu has a great selection. It was hard to choose. But the kind waiter went through their popular Dosa's.

What this place lacks in ambiance and decor they more than make up for in the food. Had to try to the biriyani and dosas based on several reviews. Mutton biriyani and the dosa with spinach. Great flavours in both dishes. Dosa is massive and very filling and prices are reasonable given the portion size. Definitely coming back here!!

Thirst for pipping hot idli ended here. Small compact place with good South Indian food. Not very expensive and very accessible too as it's near to TTC Christie. We tried Idli , Mysore masala , butter milk and coffee. All was good in taste and enjoyed a bite.

We were the first customer on the day of Christmas eve.. But the service was quick. We ordered spicy chai, Idly vada combo and chilly cheese masala dosa and dahi puri.. Everything was nice. I do recommend. The size of the dosa is too big. Spicy chai is best for getting rid from a headache.

Came in to try this place cause craving for some dosai. Is actually pretty good and big portion. Is a little pricy for a dosai but is hard to get dosai in toronto. Most places almost charge around $8-$12 in toronto except you head to Scarborough or markham you could find cheaper and good dosai. Is not a big place and don't expect a good service there. Can give it a try cause the food is good.

Excellent food but the service could improve a little. Staff: We had booked a reservation for 14 people online. However, it's just a contact form and no confirmation is ever sent. So we called to check to see if they got it, and they said they did. Unfortunately, when we arrived they seemed to be unaware of it so we ended up sitting in a weird 2 table formation. It wasn't ideal but my party made do. The food came quickly and the staff were all friendly. But the payment at the end seemed to take forever. Ambience: The patio was very nice but I personally don't like eating outside because of bugs, so we opted to eat inside. It was long and small. The kitchen appeared to take up a huge chunk of the restaurant and the interior was nothing to write home about, but it was still comfortable enough. Food: I had the Chicken Dosa and it was huge!! It was also mighty delicious! The chicken was soft and flavourful, the dosa was thin and yummy. The sauces were all excellent too. I was so stuffed by the end of the meal! I will have come back soon because it was utterly fantastic!

The best South Indian food you can find in Downtown! I came here with my sister and her fiancé and had an amazing dinner! We ordered the Pani Puri, Calamari Pakora, Mutton Dosa, Chicken Dosa, Madras Marsala Lamb Curry. The portions are very generous. You could order two entrees to be shared with three people. The Pani Puri is a street food. There is a lot of textures and flavours that just sing in your mouth. The Calamari pakora is battered with chickpea flour. Its thicker but adds such nice flavour. The Dosa is the reason what we came for! It is like a thin crepe served with your choice curry, tomato jam and coconut sauce. All the flavours combined makes a wonderful umami of flavours. Edit: I came again a second time with my husband. He is a professional chef and he was also really impressed with this restaurant and he is so hard to please! So you must try it.

Would give a three! Super untasty chicken fried rice with lots of green peas in it! It had big lumps of white rice which seemed to be not mixed at all properly! Rest Dosa was good! Sambhar could be better! Paneer chilly tasted like umm yeah ok! But I didn't get the reason of adding green peas to Hakka stuffs! Even to the chicken fried rice! Green peas is added to Pulaos and veg biryani by my knowledge and not at all to Hakka stuffs!
