Udupi Palace - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I love your South Indian food, pav bhaji dosa and their assorted id faboulous. I always visit this place for south indian food. Highly recommended. Keep the spirits high. read more

When I have a craving for Indian, I make a point of heading out to Udupi Palace to get my fill. I believe this is Toronto's only vegetarian Indian restaurant (please correct me if i'm wrong, i'm always looking for more!) and their menu selections offer a great deal for vegans too. The menu is quite large, so it's often the case where i'll order a lot more than i'll be capable of eating. My usual mistake is trying to get a good variety of appetisers, but many are just too dense or oily in large quantities to have in addition to a main. The dosas at Udupi Palace are basically what drives me to visit - so many varieties to choose from! And you can get a nice bit of heat with the Mysore dosa. For spectacle alone I generally lean toward a paper dosa. If you can bring yourself to order outside the dosa section, they have a small selection of curries and their breads are amazing. I'm not much of a fan of the Uthapam, I find if I want something heavier i'd rather a curry/bread combo. The food can be quite rich, but it's definitely great to occasionally calm the Indian food cravings. Surroundings are very basic, but the servers are friendly and helpful and the location smack bang in Little India is easy enough to get to. read more

Udupi Palace - Paper dosa - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

If you like South Indian food, this is the place to go! Everything is vegetarian with the majority of the items vegan. Their old menus weren't that clear but judging from other people's pics online, their new menu has vegan items clearly marked. We've been quite a number of times and tried: - samosas - appetizer combo - masala dosa - mysore masala dosa - szechaun dosa - spring dosa - paper dosa - vegetable uthappam - onion uthappam - South Indian thali (vegan version) - aloo paratha - bhel chaat - panipoori chaat - sev poori chaat - idli chaat - idli manchurian - chana masala - kadai bhindi Whew. Everything has been delicious but uthappams apparently aren't really my thing though they are great here for people that like them. My favourites are the masala and szechaun dosas, the thali (which usually includes chana masala) and the chaats. The fusion idli manchurian was pretty good too. Staff have always been friendly and service really quick. Have only eaten in but may try delivery soon. Note: This restaurant is lower than street level so a small flight of stairs and not accessible, but handrails at stairs so suitable for people who can manage stairs with rails. read more

This Little India Gem just East of the TPL Gerrard Street branch is bright, with spacious seating, fast and friendly staff, serving good vegetarian dishes at reasonable prices. I had the pictured Vegetable Uttapam (with extra chillies) with sambar which was fresh hot off the tawa and delicious. Recommended. read more

We feel cheated. Last time we ordered from here we were pleased, this time the portions of some of our food seem to be less than half of a normal portion. We feel cheated out of our money. Not going to order here again if we have to be worried that we'll randomly get less food than we paid for. read more

Udupi Palace - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I am a south indian brought up in udupi. And was very dissapointed at the quality Nd taste of food. I ordered onion masala dosa and my husband had the cheese dosa. Cheese dosa was a bit better. The potatoe masala was dry and had no flavour. Same with chutney. Service was decent and they are open a lottle late whcih is nice. Authentic udupi food is very nutritious and scrumptious. If they claim to be one they have a long way to go to improve. read more

My all time favourite for South Indian dishes. Love their Pav bhaji dosa and their assorted appetizer plate where you get a taste of a lot of their snacks. Would definitely recommend . read more

Disclaimer: I ordered through Uber Eats, so I didn't experience the service or location, and the quality of food could have been different. Lots of styrofoam for takeout orders. The aloo gobi was good. The rice was a little dry. The veggie samosa was good, but the filling was a but more pureed than I am used to. The chutney that came with it tasted overwhelmingly like hot peppers and nothing else, it wasn't well balanced. The flatbreads I tried (paratha, chapati, and papad) weren't that good, and they only have naan on the weekends read more

Totally solid. A legitimate experience. Sure, the food is great and the service is friendly. But it's the location that's the best. There's no place that I've been that is able to capture India as well as this non-descript spot on Gerrard. Even down to how they call a room full of elementary-school aesthetic a 'palace'. So many Dosas. Try them all. You can't go wrong. Inexpensive. Fresh. Authentic. Head bobble. In my experience, this is consistently the best single restaurant on this street. read more

Good decent staff... Faluda : is not faluda is just milk and ice cream Bhel: soggy didn't seem fresh Rava masala dosa: no crowd still took 15 mins, but worth the wait. Ok ambience, generator /AC noise, utensils bieng banged in the background, old songs playing in the distant background in the kitchen... Pricing is cheap... read more

If you're in the mood for good South Indian food, Udupi Palace is the place to go. Although a lot of Indian restaurants use the name Udupi rather loosely to attract customers that love South Indian food, this restaurant is a safe bet. Our order of chapathi with korma, and masala dosa were on point. read more

Udupi Palace - Chapathi-Korma combo, and Masala dosa. - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto, and far and away my favourite kid-friendly restaurant. The food is wonderfully flavourful. The staff is very friendly and always smile at our toddler playing with other children around the restaurant. They've set up a small play area with toys that is much appreciated too. I especially recommend the masala dosa. My wife recommends the Chana masala. My toddler recommends the mango lasi in a non spill able takeout container. Relative to other Indian restaurants, we always feel very healthy and lively after finishing a big meal here. I couldn't recommend more! read more

The decor doesn't look fancy, the chairs are something you might find at an old banquet hall, and the interior looks like it has been upgraded for some time but that's not the appeal or the reason you step into Udupi Palace. Their "signature" item is the big paper dosa which is a large rice paper pancake rolled into a cone so big you could use it like a megaphone. The place is entirely vegetarian and there is lots on the menu for any intrepid person to sample and taste. I ended up getting their south Indian thali meal which consisted of two vegetable dishes and an assortment of different types of curries (dal, rasam, etc) along with rice and a chapati. It was so filling that I had trouble finishing everything. To me, it was a sampler and had dishes that were sweet, savory, and spicy. Service is kinda hit or miss at this place, there isn't any real system but I mean you can just try to flag someone down. I think next time I would either get one of the dosas (rice crepe) or uthapam (Indian style pancake) as they seemed to be popular and my tablemates' uthapam smelled quite tasty. These items seem great to share across the table too especially the paper dosa. Until next time Udupi Palace. read more

This place used to be THE place about 15 years ago but it's lost its sparkle. I think it now caters to a crowd that's largely not geared towards it's native south Asian population. And that kind of changes things. And it's disappointing to write this review. The dosas were not the greatest and the typical side dishes of sambar and chutney were not good. The service was okay and the food came out quick. The poori and curry was decent overall. Perhaps their apps and 'chaat' items will be better It's been years since I came to Gerard street since the south Asian community now ha many restaurants, clothing stores spread out across the GTA. So I expected it to be good. And it was just okay. Nothing to write home about. read more

Very tasty indian food. The staff is also very courteous, Helpful and the food comes fast and steaming hot. It's a very basic set up inside but I promise you the food is so worth it. Also not extremely overpriced. Check them out read more

Food is okay okay, service was fine given the fact that it was Tuesday early evening and there were no customers when we walked in ( accommodating sure, but we had to go get extra napkins, straws, etc on our own couple of times). Taking about food, taste is alright ( nothing special). There are other much much better tasting dosa places I have been to and rather continue going there. read more

Good quick service! Food was yummy, a little greasy but that was sort of expected. Very kid friendly. Parking was available on side streers

As many other South Indian places, Udupi is very cafeteria-like in stylings. I don't know who did the design for all these places, but I'm pretty sure living in south India is much like being an elementary school student and eating at sterile tables with paper streamers and home-made decorations on the wall. I' m not complaining, and I've never been, just sayin'. Still, I can totally get past the decor when the people are so friendly and the food is so amazing. I really like Udupi Palace for the Pani Puri- I could do shots of that green liquid! The Uttapum are really the highlight here. If you've never had a Thali, I highly recommend that, too. I spent my 2nd wedding anniversary here, because we couldn't make it back to San Francisco to eat at Dosa, "our restaurant". Again, it's not fancy, it is just really good. Oh, yeah, my friends were dissappointed in the lack of Alcohol- drink a lassi instead. read more

We came to Udupi Palace for a ladies' brunch and I couldn't be more impressed. I love Indian food in all its forms but I realized that I had never tried a dosa before. This was also a good opportunity for me to be schooled by my friend in the differences of North and South Indian food. We were seated right away and I noticed that the decor was very minimal. It reminded me a lot of the langar hall in a gurdwara at a Sikh temple I visited last year which could only mean comfort and good food to come. We started our meal with the sev poori chaat ($4.95) and steaming hot mugs of chai ($2.45). I would have been happy to eat just chaat as my meal. Each bite was crispy, salty, sweet and savoury all at once. Next, an appetizer order of the chilli paneer ($5.25). It was okay, albeit on the small side. And then the mains - I ordered the Udupi Special ($9.95) which came with my choice of dosa and some extra sides (sambar, vada and idli). I chose the Onion Masala Dosa. We also ordered the Paneer Masala Dosa ($8.55), Vegetable Uthapam ($6.65) and the Rava Masala Dosa ($8.55). Once the food arrived, it was a non-stop feeding frenzy as we sampled each dish. I was not disappointed with anything and couldn't stop scooping the coconut chutney directly into my mouth. Portion sizes were pretty huge and we left completely stuffed and happy. Service was efficient and adequate, even as the busy room filled with hungry diners. Udupi Palace is heaven for vegetarians and I also recommend it as a change of pace for carnivores and butter chicken/tandoori chicken lovers. Very thankful to find this place and will return with friends who live in the East end. read more

I loved this place. Very nice and pleasant service. The food portions are smaller, however well worth the price. I live southindian food and the food here is perfectly cooked and non greasy. It's slightly far away from downtown, but was well worth the hike. We ordered cheese dosa, Idli and uttapam. I highly recommend the cheese dosa for the mouthwatering and melt in your mouth flavor. I will definitely go back. read more

This was apart of the UYE Little India Crawl: Burn that Dosa! (Many thanks to Roma :D) Tried the Idli Manchurian - yuuuuum. I got several comments on the very scent of this dish as it wafted around the table. Mouthwatering? Yes. At first I was rather skeptical at the size (pretty small, imho) of this dish but it was exceptionally filling. Almost couldn't finish! Having read the other reviews, I'd love to come back to try the other options on the menu, e.g. Tokri Chaat (via Gavin), Mysore Malsala Dosa (via Jennifer M), Pani Puri (via Kat T.), South Indian Thali (via Krishna N.) and much much more! The decor ain't much but wow, the service was really good (the servers are very attentive): our waters were constantly being refilled. Plus, they dealt well with our some 15 person group, :). read more

Don't be skeptical about the grubby look of this restaurant - bright lighting, white tiles and chaotic ambiance. This is authentic food in an authentic setting - as good as you can find outside South India. I love Udupi palace's food and I've tried a great variety from their menu. My favourite is the combo meal with an uthappam or a dosa with a side of idli and a vada: I think that's a good value and fills you up enough to result into a satisfactory burp. They also have North Indian fare such as chhole-bhature, pav bhaji, saag paneer etc. but this is not the place to eat north Indian food (they don't do a good job anyways). The service is friendly and simple, so is their cutlery, table arrangement and the overall look. Enjoy your meal! read more

Udupi Palace doesn't look like much from Gerrard Street. In fact, it doesn't look like much from the inside, either. But if you venture in, you'll find the best dosa in Toronto. The Masala Dosa is my favourite. Filled with savory potato and onion, it's a carb feast as big as your head! I'm not kidding-- actually I have a tiny head, so perhaps literally as big as YOUR head. Served with ever so slightly sweet coconut chutney and sambar. The Chilly Cheese Dosa is also nice. Not as large and filled with chilies and paneer. I also love the Rasam here. I ask for it extra hot and they actually do it! Most Indian places I go to take one look at my extra white-ness and laugh when I ask for stuff SUPER HOT! No one believes that a white chick like me could survive it. I always do. And I ask for more. Torture and endorphins aside, the value is good here and the food is even better. They also host a hot dosa eating contest. I believe it's some time in the summer. Hmm... something for Jenny to keep in mind... read more

It's a good place to get cheap and delicious food. It was also stop number 2 in the UYE Little India crawl and a good place to try a dosa for the first time. The food is all vegetarian and you have a good choice of fillings for your dosas. I ordered the masala dosa, which had a potato filling with masala spices. But if a dosa doesn't fancy your palate, there are curries, and even some dishes that infuse Cantonese dishes. I even had a bite of Idli Manchurian that Cecily Z ordered and it was good. I can see this place being very busy during the dinner hour. But for a Saturday afternoon, it was filled with solo eaters, small families and an eager group of hungry Yelpers. read more

This is a slightly revamped version of what I posted on another review site. I leave Toronto and this was my favorite restaurant during my 8 day stay: I've always told Americans who think they want to go vegetarian that many Americans I know who tried it and quit gave up because they made or ate such bland dishes or perfunctory vegetarian cooking. I always tell them about the wonderful Indian vegetarian food I tried and got to love when I lived in New Delhi for two years during the early to mid 70s. I have remained a huge fan of Indian food...non vegetarian as well. While on a national tour in my role as an entertainer, I felt I was getting a cold and also had bad inflammation on my right hand. I was so happy to find this place when searching on line and I went -- and had the VERY BEST t vegetarian Indian meal I have had in my LIFE. Now, realize: I lived in India, I've had Indian food in the US for some 40 years and done events in San Diego where Indian families invite me to eat. I also lived at the home of an Indian family for five months in New Delhi when I was a student. To me, this is the perfect restaurant. The initial waiter I got answered my questions perfectly about some of the dishes and helped me order so I didn't over order or under order. It was on person, except for when I brought the star of my show (pictured below) out. And he's made out of wood (I'm a ventriloquist). First, I had the most WONDERFUL samosa I've had -- as good as the ones I had in New Delhi coffee houses in 1972. Ny favorite dish, bindi. They had Kadai Bindi, which they told me was a curry of okra, tomatoes and onions. I figured the okra would be a bit firm and spicy like the others I've had over the years. I asked about soup and he mentioned a "hot" soup Rasam, that I had never had. And REAL chai (not the ones they serve at coffee shops in the US or you buy in pre-mixed tea bags). The verdict? The Samosa was an immediate smash and I inhaled the two of them, using the sweet redish sauce and the spicier green sauce. The soup was the BEST and HOTTEST but more flavorful soup I've ever had - and I'm someone who makes lots of soup including chicken soup. Two pieces of red chili were floating in it. Sorry, my grandmother and mother (and me), I liked this BETTER. The bindi? The best I've ever had.The chai? Exactly as good as the chai they used to serve when I was interning as a student on The Hindustan Times. I later asked manager Peter John about the dishes, particularly about the soup. And, not having told him my maladies, he noted that this soup has ginger, curcumin, pepper, chilies, and garlic (you could see the thin slices in the soup) and it could clear your chest. YES: these ingredients are not only what are recommended for colds, but they are considered anti inflammatories. I wish this restaurant was in my home city of San Diego...There's also a nice, cozy, open feeling to Udupi Palace. But here you have great waiting staff, great service, superb food, nice atmosphere (some parents with kids as well), and a friendly manager. Udupi Palace is a big, shining diamond in Toronto's Little India. I was so taken by it I asked Mr. John if he'd let me get some photos of him to post on this review and also have him take a few of me and the star of my show. HIGHLY H-I-G-H-L-Y recommended. And if you're someone who thinks vegetarian food can't be as satisfying or moreso than meat, you're in for a huge and happy surprise. read more

Udupi Palace happened more as an afterthought. It was chosen after someone in our group asked "... How about this place?" and I went in with little expectations. If anything, I was a little disappointed to realize that dinner was going to be Vegetarian, because, I don't know, I guess I felt sad knowing a delicious animal had temporarily escaped me... Oh right, let me do that thing where I list my credentials so that my review will carry some extra... "heft" to it. 1. I'm Indian. Take that white people reviewers! 2. I'm South Indian. Take that North Indian reviewers! 3. I'm Keralite. Take that... whomever that excludes... Who am I kidding? Those credentials mean squat in Toronto... The food was pretty good. The poori masala, and channa batura were both enjoyable, albeit super greasy (I'm well aware I'm talking about deep fried deliciousness so I should expect greasy, but there was an extra level of greasiness, even to the masala). There was also a dosa special on the day we visited Udupi, but when requested, the server said that it wasn't available. My mother and mother-in-law were with me, and they both weren't havin' none of that. They both communicated their feelings of disappointment in something being advertised all over the place, but not being made available when requested. The staff kind of shrugged their shoulders, but then what appears to be the manager showed up with a plate of the special dosas specifically for the two ladies in our group. The cheese dosa was whatevs, but a number of people at our table(s) enjoyed that. The chai was really weak and pretty disappointing. The coffee was good, but tasted like Bru. It probably was Bru... Overall the experience was enjoyable. Are there better places in town? I'm sure there are, but Udupi Palace does reasonably well. Customer service was lacking initially; we were ignored for a good while by all servers after being seated, but after we managed to get someone's attention (as well as getting an earful from two Indian mothers about a dosa special), things turned around pretty quickly. If nothing else, I've learned that if I'm told I can't have something, I need to sic my mother or mother-in-law on the person who said no to me. read more

I have been going to Udupi for over 15 years. Its by far the best Dosa I have found in Toronto. I tend to generally get the same things when I go; The masala dosa and the veggie thali. If there are more than two of us i'll add in a second dosa and the mixed appetizers or even an extra main veg dish. The thali varies depending on the day and you can ask what is in it that day in case there are things you don't like you may be able to swap it out. the soup that comes is amazing always. The spice level varies depending on who is the main cook. Sometimes its very hot but generally its spicy but not super hot. I have gone with someone gluten free and the dosa was certainly not as good. but gluten free is specific and when the main part of something is the dosa best to try some other options as well. They have some special stuff for kids and are vegan friendly. I would highly recommend the food here. The decor is a bit unusual. Its a kind of cafeteria style dining experience in that its one big sparsely decorated mostly white room with tile floors and an abundance of tables and chairs. They do serve you though so not cafeteria in that way. They have many wall murals that are interesting to say the least. The noise level can get intense when its full as the sound echo's and reverberates. and often there are kids running around. the staff is generally quite friendly and when you ask questions they are always ready to help. You could have a very big group here as well as they will put a bunch of tables together for you. I have once gone on Christmas day and had a wonderful experience. They even have a Christmas Dosa done up like a decorated tree in a case. what more can I say??? this place is really a very special vegetarian landmark. read more

One of many Indian places on Gerrard St. with enough space to feed the multitude. FYI, Udupi is a city in Karnataka, a state in Southern India. DECOR & AMBIENCE - The slightly sterile vibe is offset by the odd Indian-inspired architecture that never really comes together. Then again a lot of Indian joints here aren't about the decor. SERVICE & CLEANLINESS - Friendly staff with reasonably quick service. It's clean and tidy, but not necessarily spotless. FOOD - I had the Medhu Vada which tasted of "microwave reheat" and that's the last thing a guy expecting freshly fried snack needs. The coconut chutney was cold. I also had the perennial favorite Masala Dosa which came out crispy, but the potato filling lacked spice. And the filter coffee? Never mind! REPEAT RENDEZVOUS? Probably not anytime soon! read more

Clean tasting and fresh vegetarian offerings. Their talis are really good and Spouse and I have demolished more than just a few dosas in our time. The rassam broth is by far the best I have tasted in Toronto. I love, love, love the crispness of the dosas and for a fried item, it isn't swimming in oil. The staff there are very polite and when you arrive, you are entering a welcoming environment. This is a good alternative in Little India if you are seeking good quality, South Indian vegetarian food. read more

Yummmmmmy! I had the special something masala dosa, and my friend ordered the cheese and tomato dosa. Yum. We also had the onion pakora and veggie samosa - really good, and all for less than $30 (a little over $30 with a good tip). Check it out...the decor doesn't look like much, but it smells and tastes delicious! read more

The restaurant is reasonably priced, and has a vast menu, which for the most part is mediocre as far as South Indian food goes. That said, they have the best "South Indian Thali" that I have ever had in my life (apologies to my Mom, but it's true). That dish itself warrants five stars in my book, and I will make a special trip to Udupi for this dish whenever I am in Toronto again. read more

Awesome food everytime! Great service, friendly and accommodating staff! Atmosphere is deceiving. Looks empty and uninviting, but this place is always filled with local Indians and their families. Everything is delicious! read more

I've definitely experienced better. The layout of the restaurant is very weird. It is a giant hall in a basement with very little décor. It definitely does not invite you to sit and savor a meal. Plus, there is a giant partition in the middle as if something is hidden behind. We ordered the idly and the rava dosa. The sambhar was okay at best. It lacked spice and tanginess. The rava dosa felt like it had been made from old batter. Finally, a south indian restaurant that charges a dollar each for extra sambhar and chutney. That is a cardinal sin in my opinion. Never going here again. read more

Udupi Palace is a vegetarian Indian restaurant located in Toronto's Little India. It is located in a basement and has a cafeteria ambiance. The decor consists of supposedly Indian murals and paintings. Because it is a basement, the echo makes it rather noisy. You get seated quickly. Water and the menus arrive without much delay, even if the place is busy. Udupi Palace is famous for dosa and you see them arriving at almost every table. Dosa is a common breakfast dish and street food in India. It is similar to a crispy crepe. There are about 12 types of dosa on the menu. My go to dish is Special Rava Masala Dosa. It is made with rava (semolina) which, unlike other types of dosa, rava dosa doesn't need fermentation. It is stuffed with fillings of vegetables (potatoes, peas and onions) and included sambar and coconut chutney. It was very crispy and there was a generous amount of stuffing. While dosas are the favourite here, there are more south Indian food items on the menu, from uthapams to thalis. They also offer Indian-inspired beverages like masala Chai, falooda and lassi. Unfortunately, their masala chai didn't have much character. It tasted over-brewed tea and lacked the taste of traditional spices found in masala chai (e.g., cardamoms, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, pepper, etc.). Udupi Palace is long hailed as one of the best spots for vegetarian Indian food in Toronto's Little India. Although Udupi Palace isn't a fancy place, but it more than makes up for its shabby looks with good food. Service is fast and waiters are attentive. Value for money wise, you get a good deal. It is no-frills good Indian comfort food. read more

Gluten-free review: This place is completely vegetarian and has a mountain of gluten-free and vegan options. They have a number of gluten-free dosas and curries to choose from. If you've never had a dosa before, you can't go wrong with a masala dosa. Make sure you specify that you want a gluten-free version since the batter they use is different than their regular dosas. I also highly recommend the lassi. I usually get the sweet lassi but if you're parched then get the salt lassi. It's not super salty, don't worry. My only issue with this place is the service. People are friendly but the wait staff are so disorganized. Instead of assigning waiters to different zones, they all seem to try to tag team each other, which they often fail at. So if you're ready to order and stop someone walking by they will go try to get the official order taker (who sometimes takes the order for all the tables in the restaurant, and there are a lot of tables!) so you end up spending way more time than you should just having to place an order. The last time I was there I needed a to-go box and I kid you not, I had to ask at least 5 different people before I got one. The rest would say ok, go into the kitchen and never return. So weird...and annoying. My advice: don't come here if you're in a rush. If you have time to kill then kick back and enjoy the food. TL;DR lots of gluten-free options, get the masala dosa, staff are disorganized and waste time read more

I had had such a craving for South Indian food...for weeks, no months, no like a year I had been craving South Indian food. South Indian food full of spices that challenge and delight the tastebuds and foods that have been cooked for many hours more than I'm willing to cook at home. The FOOD here is authentic, cheap, and well-spiced. I had a Mysore masala dosa ($6.65) which was lovely in its heat. The one thing that was slightly odd was that the hot paste was smeared all over the dosa rather than being incorporated into the masala mix. It was served with the standard coconut chutney and a moderately spicy sambhar. I actually made this into a combo ($9.99) which came with a start of idli, a medhu vada, and more sambhar/coconut. The medhu vada was pretty unexciting, but then again, I think it always might be. We also had the South Indian thali ($9.65), a collection of 8 small dishes served with 1 chapati and a small dessert. Almost everything was universally excellent and the portions were generous...although 1 chapati wasn't quite enough for us. The DECOR is cheap and slightly tacky. The space reminds me of a small town church basement decorated with Indian kitsch and playing Bollywood hits. You should get the picture. SERVICE was friendly when it existed, although it didn't exist that much. Practice your best Chinese restaurant vigorous arm waving to get attention. At the end of the meal, just walk to the front to pay...no one will pay attention to you once your food has been delivered. OVERALL, this place is quite a find. Authentic, spicy, and cheap. What more can a man in Toronto craving South Indian food ask for? read more

Service - The service is always good and quick. They are always courteous. Price - Prices are reasonable. In line (read Saravana Bhawan) or lesser (Guru Lakshmi or Godavari) than other dosa places. Food - We ordered two dosas - Mysore Plain Dosa and Special Rava Dosa along with wada, idli and pani puri. The Dosas and Wada were good. Sambar was very good. Pani puri was okay but pricey. Idli had a funny smell/taste (it was fresh but still there was some smell in the batter). In my opinion, it is one of the better eateries on Gerrard street. read more

A wise friend introduced me to this spot, claiming it's one of the best restaurants, if not the best restaurant in Little India, and I have come to agree. The decor is strange, sort of school cafeteria in a basement, and despite the lovely greenhouse windows I never see the sun in this place, but the food is incredible, the service is personable and attentive, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I've spent hours here chatting with friends, I've come alone and felt perfectly welcome, and I've come to the point where their paper masala dosa calls to me on a somewhat regular basis. read more

Came here with my family. We ordered vada, idli, masala dosa, paapdi Chaat, coffee, mango lassi and gulab jamun. Vada - Seemed like it was dried under the sun. Absolutely no oil and taste was 0/5 Paapdi Chaat - Something in it was stale. We mentioned this and got another plate. Nothing was different, it was the same stale dish. Rating - 0/5 Ghee masala dosa - Taste was sub par. The potato curry was very bad, not sure how to even explain it. Rating - 1/5. Chutney was STALE. Sambar was 3/5. Saving the worst for the last - COFFEE - It was made with milk POWDER, for heaven's sake. Tasted like a mix of coffee and tea. HORRIBLE. Overall, a HIGHLY disappointed customer. Would not recommend at all! read more
