Worst indian cuisine in montreal. Food is stale and not tasty. I will never ever visit this place

This listing is older, but the location and phone # are the same as Dosa & Curries, which is what the sign at the location says its called. Ill post the same review here as I did in that other Google listing:This is easily among the greatest Indian restaurants in Montreal. Its location may be a touch hard to see from the street, but the staff is friendly and helpful, and the unique South-Indian menu features many items not found in typical Indian restaurants. The occasional Sri-Lankan dish like Kothu is there, but more importantly a large assortment of dosa (crepe) dishes, curries, and even a coupe of Indian-Chinese recipe hybrids (called Manchurian). The curry is sensational here, especially the lamb roast, and the Manchurian chicken is what Chinese food *should* be: a combination of sweet and spicy, cooked to perfection. The two soups they offer are also both unique and excellent.If you are put off by a slightly smaller curry selection than other Indian places, never mind that. The important thing is that everything here is excellent and incredibly spiced and flavorful.

Mouth watering food and same Indian taste

The noodles, gobhi Manchurian and chicken 65 Biryani was just amazing.. very tasty.... But the lassi had salt in it .. tasted stale ... Did not expect this .. I m a huge fan of this restaurant... I have ordered a lot of times from here and all there dishes are very yummy..

First things first - they havent changed their name yet. They no more have a sign board for Madurai. Its called Dosas and curries.For a place called Dosas and curries, the Dosas were so inauthentic. We ordered 4 Dosas - Chettinad masala dosa, onion masala dosa, egg omlette dosa and channa masala dosa.1. The batter isnt fresh. Too granular and not suited for a dosa.2. The coconut chutney tasted stale.3. Wayyy too much masala (Im guessing chat/garam masala) in the channa dosa.We ordered 2 kalakkis. They werent on the menu and the staff was kind enough to make it but that had chat masala loaded as well. Took my parents for a birthday lunch and it was quite disappointing! There are other better options for South Indian food in Montreal.

Waste of money and it’s not even worth a try.Restaurant stinks and terrible service

Worst experience everTerrible staff and serviceFood portions are not even worth the money

Good cozy place to have some south Indian delicacies.I recommend dosas and chicken tandoori

Just went there for the first time. Ordered the Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikki Masala. Also some Garlic Naan bread and Plain Naan bread...it was awesome....Juicy...tasty Im out of words.....Better try it.Its amazing......

The Best Biryani in MontrealYou will not order from anywhere else after eating here👍👍

I ordered Madurai Lamb Biryani. It was extremely salty and very hot. Not edible. They said it was their regular recipe. we could not eat the food and it went into garbage. I dont recommend this restaurant or at least the Biryani.

Mutton biryani is spoiled

Not happy with chutneys served. Told them twice about the potato stuffed in masala dosa that it is spoiled. They served the masala potato even without tasting it.

Had ordered veg noodles, Mysore masala dosa and gobi Manchurian. Was not impressed except for Gobi Manchurian. The dosa was far from being Mysore masala dosa and masala was burnt.Noodles were ok looked like salad but tasted ok ... was not impressed though. Too pricey for the taste.

We ordered chicken lollipops and we got about 11 really tiny lollipops. They were over fried so they were rubbery and chewy. Lollipops have to be soft and juicy from the inside and this was nothing like how it should be. The marinate was prolly good but them being fried for too long spoilt the whole experience. Plus they dont serve it with schezwan sauce!!! Thats just criminal! Chicken lollipops always have to be served with schezwan sauce ..its an jndo Chinese dish and thats how its supposed to be had so they gotta learn or get someone who knows to make proper chicken lollipops and schezwan sauce and then put it on their freakin menu

Good Taste like home made food. My favourite restaurant in MTL.

Lets say chili paneer dosa. What could possibly come into your mind ? An Indo Chinese paneer stuffing inside the dosa ( we can look upon Google)But what they give is an ordinary masala dosa with granules of green chillies and paneer.

Dosa night was amazing. Never expected Appetizer and dessert along with 7 varieties of Dosa unlimited at a price of 12.99$ . Chutneys are very fresh and very tasty. Sarkai pongal was super tasty. Dosa served fresh and sambar tasted exactly like Saravana Bhavan Sambar.Being a south indian i recommend this dosa to everyone.

Authentic south Indian style Indian cuisine. Must have!Yet to explore more dishes but dont miss the appetizers! #indianfood #foodlove #montreal #food #indochinese

Nice restaurant 👍🏻. I went there only two three times but it was amazing.

Worst food I ever ate in this restaurant. This place is known for good, quality economic food, but in the past two months the quality had went down so badly. The hygiene was so poor, there were flies and eating cutlieries were stained. Wont go again, untill the customer service makes note to correct these problems. I thought chicken chukka was a speciality here, but to my surprise it was one of the bad. The chicken pieces in chicken butter masala were raw, hard. The dissatisfaction about the food was made to the lady there, and we received nothing than a smile. Seriously?

Very bad experience... unhygienic..never going back..Please save your money and go to another restaurant.

Food was very dry and felt like it was just reheated and served

Phav Bhaji Chaat & Palak Paneer Masala served with plain Biryani was out of this world. Highly recommended.

The worst indian food I ever had in my life. im so disappointed. I took some palak paneer it looked like some soup and tasted sour. the samosas was old... horrible

It is one of the best south Indian restaurant in Montreal. All dishes are really good.

We have tried many Indian restaurants in Montreal, but none as authentic as Le Royal Madurai.. And with the new management in place, the staff was super polite with the customers. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for delicious & authentic Indian food ! Cheers

They serve absolutely authentic Indian food and its a treat to the taste buds. They also have some space for private parties and the price they charge is value for money. I strongly recommend this place. They also have an unlimited dosa menu on Wednesdays

Not satisfied with the dosa , the sambhar was not even hot and also ordered the vege thali in which I ordered daal and it was replaced with mix vegetables sabji and the panner sabji was not even hot.

We had put in a catering order on a busy weekend and got top quality South Indian food. The owner was flexible to work with us on the menu items. The items were carefully packed and delivered right on time. Our guests simply loved the food. Would highly recommend!

Good tasty food.

We ordered chicken lollipops..we got about 11pieces but they were really tiny pieces and over fried so they were chewy and rubbery. They need to fry it for lesser time so the chicken is softer and juicy. Also, they dont have schezwan sauce that is always served with lollipops in the indo Chinese cuisine. the pros were that it had some good marination spices that we could taste.

Good food

We found this restaurant while searching for a new Indian food place to eat and honestly it was the best decision. This restaurant has lovely ambiance to enjoy dinner with your family. The food was very delicious. The staff here are awesome. The overall experience was great and we would definitely visit again for yummy food.

We were the only clients at this restaurant at noon on a Tuesday recently. The temperature was 30C plus and very humid but the air conditioning unit was not on. The place was a steamer!! There were altogether two kinds of chicken, four kinds of sauce, one dessert, dry fried onion, naan and rice. The jug of water was room temperature(kind of warm). The food is not great and the dining experience is not pleasant. There was no toilet paper until I asked for it and the used plates were never collected. The price is $12.97 before tax, you may say its inexpensive but there are other buffet places that cost similarly or less but a lot more choices of food. If this restaurant wants to survive, theyd better work hard on their variety and service. Definitely there will be no repeat visit from me.

The portion was big but it taste way tooo salty

I can classify this as close to South Indian mother’s cooking. The balance of spiciness was commensurate with the appropriate dish served. However, it did not burn a hole in our stomach.Service is good. Be prepared to wait a bit for the food as they are prepared and cooked fresh - so it’s worth the wait.There is no doubt that this wont be our last visit.

Madurai is an excellent place to dine if you are hungry for some real south Indian food. Ambiance is very good, you can have the street view from 1st floor while you are tasting their amazing food. You can see people from different places enjoying quality south Indian food, not just people from India. Highly recommend this place to dine for lunch and dinner if you are looking for tasty indian food around Montreal. I have been to this restaurant for more than 10 times and introduced to my colleagues and family friends !!

Great place, tasty food and fast service. good price,I did a lot of Uber Eats delivery here and theyre always fast

I visited Montreal for a 3 day tour from Boston and had a look out for good Indian restaurant. We decided to go for Le Royal Madurai Restaurant and had the best south Indian food. The Taste takes me to India and I can really rate well comparing to Best restaurants in Chennai. A Classy restaurant with delicious quality food combined with good service. Thank you Le Royal Madurai!!!!!

We ordered food from Le Royal Madurai for our baby shower function. It includes 7 different varieties of rice, starters etc. The quantity and quality was so great and everyone enjoyed it so much. Also, really appreciate Ranjith for his commitment and service to deliver us the food in the way we wanted. I called him couple of times on food quality and he made sure that everything meets our expectation. Thank you :)

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD THAT I HAVE EVER HAD!!!Very nice staff, service, location, great and amazing food, great taste and spicing! I am very satisfied with my dinner. Can highly recommend it!

Nice ambience... With authentic Indian food with superb taste... Food was delicious and had a great time

Food is really tasty and great hospitality. I would really recommend to experience the yummy food here

Great experience! Food selection was excellent, The service is personal and polite.The host (Karthik) is a wonderful person and always makes us feel welcome.It is an incredible Indian food!This place is definitely going to become a regular place for me.

Nice Service ,Very kind owner who was at reception counter, Food quality very nice. All together!! Super like. We went at closing time but we ate at peace. loved Chicken Manchurian and Ambur chicken biryani...far better than any other restaurant.

My friend recommended le royal madurai to me, The food is excellent. I had a onion uttappam, We will definitely come back to try their other dishes.

Best Indian food. If you are not familiar what to order ask the waiter, they will recommend. Family meals best, you can bring your own wine. A must visit to experience all the wonderful spices in tasty Indian food.

Wow.....the food taste really amazing. Excellent Service. After a long time had South Indian street style Noodles and Fried rice. Great Guys. Keep going

Friendly staff. Nice spacious restaurant. Done up nicely as well. Food is delicious. Good serving are given . Value for money. One of the best Indian restaurant in Montreal.

The Lunch buffet was very good at a reasonable price. They make really nice and spicy food. The buffet was bit on spicy side, but hey I am Brown - cant complain about food being spicy ;)

Tiffin thali is good, mango kesari is so yummy, will come again to try other dishes.

Had One of the best Veg Biriyani in the city. The quantity and the quality of food was awesome.Dosa night is awesome, super yummy dosas and chutneys.Will come back again soon.

Fantastic food and amazing service! Our fam of 4 includes a couple vegans and is relatively new to Indian cuisine - we always love every dish we try! The staff is friendly and very helpful, the portion sizes are great, and the food is fresh and delicious. Great for eat-in or take-out.

Wednesday Feb 12th visit: 5 varieties of Dosas can be chosen from 7.Very bad experience and service from the team.We entered the restaurant around 7PM, waited 45 minutes along with a kid to get a table and another 25 mins to get the menu. Later when we ordered the 5 varieties of Dosas, the lady appears to the table and says the BATTER got empty and we can order something else for the same price.We ordered few items and later the waiter comes and tells few items to be cancelled since it will exceed the normal price.In total we spent nearly 2 hours without getting food and the kid was about to cry.Experience:• Very poor management skills and no respect for the customers.• Very rude in talking and not cleanly environment.• If special offer is announced online, the management should make sure enough food and waiters are present during rush hours.• Communication gap is very high and should teach them how to provide a top-notch service to the customers?• Should teach them how they should approach the customers?

The food is delicious, the lamb roast is the best dish out of them all. The servers are really nice and friendly although the decors need work

The food had finished when we reached around 7:30 PM. They had there endless Dosa night that day, and they had not anticipated this huge rush for that.The management was nice enough to give us complementary Biryani, still would go back again to taste the food once.

Great convenient location. Very friendly staff. The ambience was pretty decent. Not much chaotic. The great selection of Bollywood music in the background made me forget for a moment that I am not in India! The food was not excellent but quite good. But overall a good experience. Would visit the place again!

Very good place to have Indian dishes. reasonable prices

I came here last night with a party of six for my birthday. The staff were lovely, the food was fantastic, and the overall atmosphere was nice. We were easily able to have a nice conversation. Id highly recommend Royal Madurai :)

Good food! However customer service can be improved greatly

We were looking for a place to get dosas close to home and came across Madurai. Based on the reviews, we popped by for dinner. We were not disappointed and we now have a new favourite spot to go for South Indian Food and especially their Dosas. The crispiest and largest Ive seen and tasted in the city. The rest of the dishes we ordered were fantastic, very flavourful and served up promptly.Service was great, attentive and timelyWell definitely be going here a lot more frequently.

Dosa night was good,everything is freshly prepared and delicious ,chutneys and authentic sambar tastes delicious,its value for the money.Now they kept for two days a week its good , will visit on weekend.

They say it’s open at 11 and when we came in at 11:20 they say we are not ready to serve yet come after 12

Worst part was even the water was smelly, as if it was in the jar for 2 days. Food was definitely stale and no soft drinks are you even serious about operating a restaurant.

Food is good and flavorful.. atmosphere is mediocre at best.. service is good but slow. if you go there it is mainly for authentic tamilian or south Indian cuisine.

Good food and good service. Prices were great too,Overall a good experience and friendly staff, recommended.

Had an amazing experience at Madurai restaurant. The food is extremely tasty. Dosa is very large at a reasonable price and chutneys are nicely spiced. The staff is very friendly. Best South Indian restaurant that delivers flavourful and tasty food.

I often visit this restaurant, the food quality, quantity & price is great! Especially I find the staff is super friendly and helpful. I also like the song collections they play at the restaurant... Keep it up guys :)

Excellent price, 5 different dosas at $9.99 with variety of chutney and flavorful sambar. Must try!

First time I visited this restaurant. I would recommended for the northern flavor. I ordered Chili Paneer, Paneer Butter Masala, Chapati and Garlic Naan. The best dish was Chili Paneer out of all. And chapati was so soft that reminds me my homemade food. It was a good experience !!!

Really disappointed with the home delivery food quality. We have been to this restaurant twice food was amazing each time, so we decided to order food from online delivery service twice both time food sent was stale and bad quality. It’s the story of most of the Indian restaurants in Montreal they send stale food on online orders, which is very disappointing and pathetic. They try to fool the immigrant as most of them don’t know the authentic taste and quality. If one wants to enjoy Indian food in Montreal, always go to the restaurant.

They dont know how to make Palak Paneer. Never had such bad one.

Been there few times with my friends, there dishes are not consistent(taste and texture). There are other restaurants in town which provide better South Indian dishes. Not recommended.

Worst service and dosa was not goodDont waste your money by going to restaurant

Chicken dishes were excellent. Took a bit of time to cook but was well worth it. Pretty standard prices.

I am working in a food delivery. I won’t talk about the food quality, pretty sure no one who ordered it would get what expected. I will not even talk about how they are impolite with delivery people, making them wait too long or a worse experience I’ve had recently. Shame on tou guys, nothing to add!

Its one of the best place,if you want to have some yummy South Indian food..All the dosa varieties and the biriyanis are so delicious...Nice ambience.. Highly recommended..

Very delicious..!!! Restaurant ambiance is too good, kind and softspoken staff.. we ordered veg and non veg food for a party at home, they gave us door delivery !! Each and every item was perfect.. Thank u guys..

I hired the catering service of this restaurant for my wedding recently and it exceeded my expectations. The food was excellent and the service was great and very professional. The restaurant is also very nice from my experience during the food tasting. A unique south indian food experience.

Good taste but the atmosphere is plain! Combo plate is nice~

I bought foods for my family and friends from this restaurant after watching good reviews. the food had great smell..tasted good to everyone and surpassed all our expectations. I personally recommend this restaurant food to all...

The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the shrimp fry along with chicken biriyani which was much better than any other star restaurants & Aquarium was great (even took photos so we could try to replicate at home).

The hotel owner/manager was very humble. He adjusted items in our thali with what we wanted. The food is delicious. Mutton curry was very well cooked and tasty. The portions are good for two people to share or have 2 naans with one item of main course.

We ordered delivery and very bad service, we ordered 2 lamb biryani and 1 chicken biryani we got only 2 biryanis to confirm the same we called restaurant the person was very rude and they ask someone to come and pick up but why we ordered delivery?? if we have possibility of bringing of pickup? i say its time and money waste to order here!! you loose ur patience and energy too

The food was awesome! It is the most authentic South Indian food in this area. Do not miss this if you want to explore different flavours of India 🙏

We had podi dosa, chapathi, channa masala and gulab jamaun. Taste and quality was good.

Ordered a Masala Dosa and Masala Chai. Everything was freshly prepared and tasted delicious. My third time going here and will be back again in the future. Prices are reasonable for most items.

My favorite South Indian restaurant in Montreal... All the dishes we had so far are excellent.. its a new restaurant as we come to know from the waiter. I have extended my warm wishes to them and gonna to visit often!!!

Had tried this place a few times on different dishes. Quality was okay, last time I tried a Mutton Kothu, they basically didnt have any muttons, they put the mutton fats and gravy in the kothu to make the dish. Which was very upsetting.

The most delicious Indian food I have tasted so far in Montreal and I would say this is the best indian restaurant in Montreal. Definitely worth going if you feel like having home food.

If youre in need to authentic South Indian food this is THE place to go. Great portions for a great price and the food is truly amazing. Next time I go to Montreal Ill be stopping by here for sure.

One of the good indian restaurant in Montreal to enjoy your meal...especially south indian food lovers👌👌👌👌

We were in Montreal over the weekend and wanted to find a good South Indian restaurant. The name Madurai and the better than average google rating quickly lured us in. We ordered a chicken briyani, chicken 65 and a chicken kothu roti. As much as we tried to like what was placed in front of us, we couldnt get past 3 or 4 bites. The chicken 65 was very hard and cut into larger than bite sized pieces. The chicken itself lacked flavour and was very stringy, felt odd. The briyani tasted like it was re-steamed from a previously cooked batch, because it was watery.. there was an overwhelming amount of fennel and cumin seeds and the chicken looked like it was cooked many days ago, hardened, quite dark on the edges and very rubbery. The chicken kothu had mostly chicken that was not tasty either. All in all, we felt we paid for nothing when we left. Anyhow, if the restaurant takes a little bit of care on what they are serving to customers in the name of the legendary Madurai city, they would have great food fans like us exclusively making a trip to it again.

I visit this place at least once a week.!! Everything is flavourful, portions are large and price is reasonable

Very nice lamb Briyani! The environment and music is good too. Will come again for sure.

Just ordered with uber from them for the first time. I am really enjoying all the delicious flavors Special Chicken biryani & mint chicken Tikka. Great portion size. If your are in the mood for authentic flavors with a hint of spice. I really recommend the dishes...

Food is remarkably good. On a business visit, my colleague suggested this restaurant and I have to admit, he is right abt the taste & quality!. Probably the best fine dining Indian cuisine I have visited in montreal.

They are serving authentic Indian food with great attention to details.and deliciousness

Waiter are so good and friendly and food very very tasty I never had this much tast food in Montreal
