    plain dosa
    Elaine S.

    This was my first time trying South Indian food. My friend insisted on bringing me here since it's the best Indian food she's had in the GTA. Its a good thing she knew to make reservations ahead of time, it is definitely necessary because this place gets packed. Food: 9/10 Everything we tried was delicious! We shared the poori with potato bhaji, the idly/vada combo, and a plain dosa. I also ordered a mango lassi. The poori ended up being my favorite, it was light, fluffy, and perfect with the potato curry. Service: 8/10 Service was great overall. Our food came out super fast, but it seemed like they forgot our dosa order since we had already finished most of our food. But once we mentioned it, they fixed the issue quickly. Ambiance: 9/10 The restaurant was much larger than I expected. It's spacious, clean, and has a nice, lively atmosphere.

    Mysore masala dosa
    Shalin P.

    We really enjoyed our food here. The Mysore masala dosa was terrific, and I especially loved the potato shak with peanuts that stuffed in it. Everyone at the table enjoyed their dosas. The kids enjoyed the dhai vahda and idli. Special call-out on the service. It was stellar. The server asked all of the correct questions, and was very efficient. You can make reservations on their Yelp page, and I would recommend getting there on time (as it gets quite crowded).

    Mysore Bhaji Dosa
    Larry L.

    This is the first Bib Gourmand restaurant that I have experienced. I went to their website prior to visiting the restaurant and noticed that they take reservations online, which brought me to Yelp reservation system, so bonus since I already have a Yelp account. I made reservations for 12:00 PM on a Saturday. It is a good thing that I made reservations because when we arrived, there were a lot of people waiting to be seated, however, I just showed my reservation, and we were seated immediately. The interior of the restaurant more modern and elegant than expected with dark wood tables, dark seating, walls, and ceiling. There was a mix of tables and booths. We sat a booth in the corner. Guru Lukshmi is a South India restaurant that specializes in dosa, so we ordered several dosas including the Mysore Bhaji Dosa which was featured in a Toronto Star article. All the dosas were very good, but if you could just choose on, I would recommend the Mysore Bhaji Dosa. We also ordered a Sweet Dahi Vada for an appetizer, which as sweet, salty, sour and very refreshing. This appetizer was a good as the dosas. Overall, Guru Lukshmi had very good service, excellent food, and reasonable prices. I would definitely return again.

    Mysore Bhaji Dosa

    I saw that Guru Lukshmi made it to Michelin Bib Gourmand and knew I had to try it out. The restaurant is in a big strip mall with lots of stores which meant lots of parking. The plaza does get quite busy but it was easy to get in and out. My group had to wait a bit to get a table as it was understandably busy. Once you get in, the place is massive, with lots of seating and lots of dosas being served as you walk in. Servers were super friendly and provided great service. My group opted to started with the Medhu Vada which were fried very well with a nice crisp. For the main event, opted for the Pav Bhaji dosa and the Mysore Bhaji dosa. This being my first time trying dosa, I was blown away by how good everything was. The crisp dosa with the strong flavours of the filling/potato and the variety of dips, it was all amazing. The Mysore Bhaji was the stand-out of the two and would highly recommend. Definitely a must-try place and well worth the wait.

    What an experience. One of the best South Indian restaurants I've been to. This was my second time so I had to bring my husband and kids along with my parents. The Dahi vada (sweet) was very good. Along with idli sambar. I preferred idli over the vada rasam if I had to pick one. Dosas were the best! Extra crispy. Then for dosa I would rate it in the following order in preference 1. Butter garlic dosa 2. Mysore masala 3. Spicy coconut And Badam halwa was to die for!!! Loved it

    Butter garlic dosa with no masala

    I love Guru Lukshmi! Ive loved it for years. Their dosas are always fantastic, especially the specialty ones! They even have a Jain menu which is incredible. Only giving it 4 stars because their staff is always ready to kick us out quickly! But still amazing food. Even their mango shake is really good!

    Pao bhaji dosa
    Shreya G.

    One of my favorite places to go when I visit Canada! There are so many items to choose from and my favorite is the pao bhaji dosa. Service is also quick and efficient. Wish they'd open up in NYC!!

    Onion rava dosa
    Tushar S.

    One of the best dosas I've had outside of south India. I dined at Guru Lukshmi on a whim and loved every bite of it. The onion rava dosa with aloo masala (costs extra) was prepared fresh, and the accompanying chutneys and sambar were delicious. The Mysore Bhaji dosa was delicious as well. I liked how each dish has their own distinct taste. I also tried the mix veg uttapam (from their Jain menu) and it was soft and yummy, with a crunchy base. The coconut chutney accompanying all the dishes was authentic and did not taste like the powdery ones don't restaurants serve. The serving size of each dish was huge, and the overall taste was A+ Note: while the dosas come out faster, the utthapams do take ~20-25mins. I recommend making reservations since the 12pm rush on a Friday afternoon was very impressive. Service is courteous and prompt, and the ambience of the restaurant is very nice. Cards are accepted, and the parking lot in front of the restaurant is huge. I'll be back for sure the next time I'm in GTA.

    Delicious dosa & uthappams. Wish we lived closer to go more often, would try more variety of foods. Always busy, so they want you to eat and leave for the next guests, so understandable.

Can't think of a bad thing to say. It's super clean (incl washrooms). The young woman who took my order walked me through their menu. I ordered the Rick's Fried Chicken sandwich (which she told me was award winning in Mississauga (don't know by who). And got regular fries as a side. Order was ready in a couple minutes and it looked great. But tastes even better. The fries are hot, crunchy with a hint of spice and a good level of salt for fries. The Rick's Fried Chicken sandwich was also hot with a great tandoori sauce. Pickles and lettuce and other garnish. It was crunchy, spicy, - so good - and on a great bun. I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

I wish we had a place like this close to home- great job, RGE!

To my surprise the food was tasty . Though it lacked authenticity but it was a great creation by the chefs toward the success of the gourmet ! Most irritating n uncalled in the whole experience was the lack of oxygen in the restaurant to breathe with all the smoke around . Though the food experience was good but I may not visit again due to unhealthy ambience . 3 stars for the food !!!!

    I absolutely love this place. Normally, a place that has a massive menu is a bit concerning to me…read moreas it often leads to not really excelling at anything, but that is not the case here in my experience. The reason behind the large menu is related to the aim of the restaurant, which is to showcase the various regional cuisines of India. As a result, don't expect the straightforward menu of: apps, entrees, deserts, etc... rather the menu is divided by cuisine. Aside from honouring tradition, they do offer a couple 'new' takes on some items. If you comb through a few reviews, and certainly the pics, you'll notice a must-order items is the roasted eggplant with pomegranate. It really is like nothing else I've had before and unforgettable in both taste and texture. My group also went with a famous lamb dish as well. I don't remember the name offhand, but it is incredibly soft, well seasoned and nicely spiced dish. We also went with orders of naan, veggie dishes and meat skewers. It's beautifully decorated inside and also has the advantage of being located in a heritage building in what was formerly an estate home nearly 150 years old. It's truly a unique place and one people living in the area can be proud and of showcase to visitors.
