I had the Idli Sambhar and it was worth the waiting time to prepare it. This is as good as it gets in terms of quality. It might be a small place but it delivers big flavours. I also had the Dosa and it’s just as good.

Satisfied our Dosa carvings successfully at this place. Best sambar that I had in recent times. Chutney was a little watery, but the taste was amazing. We had egg dosa, masala dosa and podi idly, all the dishes are great and the spice on the podi idly is on point. Will definitely visit again when we are back in montreal.

In Montreal Downtown, Chennai Express is a life saver for any South Indian who life thrives on dosa and idle. Feels like home.

I went there a few days ago. I was craving South Indian food. I ordered chicken Masada dosa and idli with coconut chutney & sambar. It was my first time trying at Chennai Express. You have to wait at least 20 minutes because of the preparation. Everything is freshly prepared with love. The chef is very professional and polite. The kitchen looked clean but messy. The food was tasty spicy hot DELICIOUS. I couldn't even take a picture. I started eating I'm my car, lolll. Parking is a problem there. And the food is HALAL

I visited this place after reading online reviews. The food was mediocre , price was okay for what was served.Went with family after looking for parking for a long time and finally had to pick up the food as there was no seating. Overall , it wasn't what I expected.

After 3 days of not finding any flavorful food in Montreal. We stumbled upon this little establishment. It’s a small space with 3 restaurants in one building. Pretty unique idea although a little cramped.We got the chicken masala dosa and the chicken biryani and this was by far the best restaurant we’ve been to. The flavors were immaculate, the spices were perfect, the chicken was so tender it falling off the bone. Both my gf and I were extremely satisfied and had to give the owner props. 10/10 experience.

I’m a fan of South Indian food especially Dosas and Idli. We went there exactly after the opening time, but the person on the counter mentioned that he cannot serve idlis as it takes time to ferment the batter.We had to order dosas only. The Dosa came thin and crispy but the chutney and Sambhar could have been better. I do understand that they’re not fine dining and the customer needs to be adjustable with the service when you’re going to pay reasonable but cannot understand that chutney was not made fresh rather it was a stored one.At the end while leaving after more than 35-40mins, we tried to order Idli for parcel but still the person at the counter gave same excuse which pissed us.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options
