Most wonderful and delicious dosa place I've been to do far. A hidden gem. Dosa is amazing, chutneys a perfect addition, including the tastey soup - sambar. Thank you very much.

We were 17 people, they told that if we are more than 5 people group, we have to pay 18% gratitude. Then we sat in 5-5 group of people and then we got food in 1.5 hour. What kind of service is this. Later, when we went to pay they told to give review or else they will charge 18% gratitude. What kind of behaviour and rules are this? You want force fully review. Enjoy your review now.

Dosa is one of my favourite South Indian dishes. Its a complete nourishing meal. I used to go out to Gerrard East but discovered this location’s other establishment at Bloor and Landsdowne several years ago and haven’t gone elsewhere since. I had the OnionDosa which is filled with Potato Masala Curry and of course Onion; Sambar and Chutney served on the side. It was delicious as was the Mango Lassi. All Dosa and Curries are Gluten Free & Vegan so there’s something for everyone. The service is warm, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend trying it. It won’t break your wallet either. Oh, and don’t miss the Surreal art in the WC. 😉

Tried their Herb Zest Dosa. No such strong flavour of herbs or lemon. Dosa batter was okayish, not great not bad. The potato filling was good though. The sambhar was tasty but quantity was very less as compared to what you usually get. No coconut chutney given. The green and red chutney was watered down (see picture for reference) and not at all authentic tasting. The restaurant itself looked like a cozy and clean little place.

Service was ok and couturiers staff. However this was the most weird and twisted South Indian cuisine. Seriously you cook should visit and other south India restaurant just to get hang of what a simple sambar tastes/looks like 🤦‍♂️ out of 6 items served only two (daal and dosa aloo) were normal, everything else was just bizarre. Biriyani rice has pickled tangy onion or some thing extremely sour, ever heard of fried onions ? Both chutney were tasteless and not authentic. Sambar was red in colour, with zero sambar powder with kidney beans and sour tasty. Egg plant curry was tangy and red in colour. Soyabean curry again was tangy and sweet in taste. The thali was the worst form of South Indian food. Sorry to say but this is now how the food should taste like. Folks whether you are an Indian or someone else the thali is not South Indian.

Great vibe, great food. The Garlic Mint Masala Dosa is my fave dosa in the city - all garlic (and very little mint, so don't let that scary you off). No other place uses such intense flavours in their dosa. Super crispy with great texture, the batter is just a tiny bit coarse to make it interesting. The lemon herb dosa has a very nice light flavour, but maybe too light when dipped in chutney and sambar (but great on its own). The tamarind dosa hits you in waves - sweet, then spicy, then tangy. Such a fun flavour. That said, Garlic Mint is still my go-to. The dosa "platter" upgrade to add a curry of the day (lentil chickpea) + eggplant tomato curry is a fun option, though we found the eggplant tomato to be a bit salty - would go great on rice though. The masala chai is okay, but was very light on cardamom and pepper - it tasted just slightly ginger and milky. One of our favorite places in the city, but it's such a far drive from Scarborough! PS yes, feel free to use the photos, no need for credit. Enjoy, and keep making amazing food!

Overall good South Indian restaurant..liked the taste om Sambar ..a bit different..although not really authentic taste so-called. Other items also bit differently prepared. May be thatswhy it's popular. Good part is very near to Sunnyside Beach and accessible to multiple streetcar lines.

Happened upon this place and am now wondering how much I have missed out on all this time. I ordered the plain dosa platter, which came with an excellent variety of curries and chutneys. It was over the moon delicious, every single thing. I am especially fond of their hot masala tea. Service was also 5 star. The person who served me did so with great knowledge of the food and a kind heart, giving me some extra chutney without asking after we talked about how much I particularly liked that one the best. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend for their excellent food, great service and relaxing atmosphere.

Had a chance to eat at the Roncesvalles location yesterday with my son and his gf. I frequently ate at South Indian Dosa Mahal at Bloor/Lansdowne before the fire and I have longed for their food ever since. The food is still just as amazing and the prices are great. We all had a thali. All the best to the Logan family, especially Naomi who I remember fondly from the previous location.

Im so glad I decided to try this. It is AMAZING! I would go again. The dosa itself was massive. I ordered the original masala dosa. Its a teeny tiny bit spicy but I love spice. It didnt look like much food but i struggled to finish it. BIG PORTIONS!! The service was amazing. He was helpful and polite. I had never tried dosa before today and he gave me really helpful tips on how to proceed. I ate with my hands. So fun! The decor was great. 10stars!! I highly recommend this place.

The food here is amazing and the place has a nice ambiance. I keep coming back because of their delicious food. I recommend this place especially if you are vegetarian or vegan.

Amazing place. Simple easy place to enjoy an affordable meal. Best South Indian place in vicinity. The thali combo is a bang for buck combo that’s a must try. Come here for a sunny day stroll.

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch here on a Friday at the end of September. The restaurant was not busy and the atmosphere was very pleasant. It has nice decor and ambiance. The young man serving us was extremely nice, friendly, and attentive providing 5-star service! The food was fresh and flavorful, good portions, and it was very enjoyable. We were really pleased with the experience and would definitely return to enjoy more vegan options here when we visit Toronto in the future.

Chef uses high quality ingredients. The food tastes excellent. Food is not over powering at all. Mild spicy ,extremely flavourful and delicious. Restaurant is clean and food is served at right temperature.

Delicious, fresh and beautifully spiced dosa! Wow. I had the Tamarind Masala Dosa. Sweet, spicy, crispy, with a delicious potato mixture in the middle. I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish it but once I started I had no trouble polishing it off. So good! And the server was super friendly and helpful.

Decent service and delicious Dosas. Free drink for leaving a review..

The staff is warm, friendly, welcoming and kind. The food and drinks were delicious. We had masala dosas, the lentil soup and mango lassi. The atmosphere was great, art was beautiful. The service was fast and perfect. So attentive to your every need. The prices are good for what you get. My favourite dosa place in Toronto!! Will be coming back many times. Thanks 🙂

Delicious South Indian dosa restaurant! They also have lots of little tasty treats. I promise to go back and take more photos because it was so delicious and I started eating and couldn't stop! Highly recommended!

I went for dinner here with my friends. They don’t have Rava dosas on their menu which was surprising to me. We ordered: 1. Mahal Special: It has 2 idli, 2 vada and 2 mini plain dosa with Sambhar and 2 chutneys. The dosa were not that crispy and white in the color. Except the dosa, everything was really good. 2. Spicy Pizza Masala Dosa: It’s a popular item here. It’s a fusion of pizza and dosa. There’s cheese and green chillies as well. It was good but bit spicy. 3. Filter coffee: Very good 4. Masala Chai: Not good The sambhar and chutneys were really good. The quantity of sambhar could be bit more generous. Also you could ask to have the dosa crispier while ordering. The restaurant was empty on Friday evening and they close at 9pm. So, atmosphere wise, it was bit dull. Prices are reasonable and service is good.

A nice cozy place for authentic South-Indian Food. Of all the other Indian restaurants in Toronto, the coconut chutney here is the best. The dosas were nice and crispy. The portions are pretty good for the price. The Idlis and Vadas in the Veg Meal are a bit small in size, but tasty nonetheless. Over all a good authentic restaurant. Highly recommended! The serving staff are very efficient and polite.

Absolutely loved the South Indian dosa cafe! The dosas with onion and coriander, as well as the paneer dosa, were exceptional. Definitely a really good dosa experience – can't wait to revisit for more!

Had a wonderful experience here! Got the taste of authentic wholesome South Indian flavors. I ordered a filter coffee and a Ghee roast dosa, which took me back to my time in Chennai. Hands down the best dosa experience in Toronto so far! Amazing chutneys! 👌 My host and server was this friendly gentleman who was extremely prompt and courteous. I was running a bit behind schedule, so I could only sit down for a bit. I'll be sure to ask him his name the next time I visit.

Recently visited Dosa Mahal - the experience was amazing. It’s a food haven for vegetarians. They have multiple Dosa and combo options. Pizza Dosa was unique and a must try. The service was great as well. Ambience is vey cozy. Do not miss out on their filter coffee. The prices are very reasonable compared to downtown. They have vegan, nut free and gluten free options. Will definitely go back!

Amazing Dosa!! I was truly amazed at the quality and flavours. We usually had to drive to Scarborough to get our Dosa fix but not anymore. This place was empty when we arrived on Friday evening for dinner.. You must give it a try, you won't be disappointed. I'll be definitely coming back soon with my family.

Visiting Toronto, we were excited to bump into this South Indian place that makes amazingly delicious dosas, a true taste of homemade comfort, exactly as it’s said on their promotional billboard! We would say, it was the food made with love and inspiration, keep it up. We wish you lots of success!

Was there yesterday night with my husband. It is a very cozy place and service was very quick. One of the few pure vegetarian restaurants in Toronto! The prices are great, very affordable and portions are decent for the average eater. The food was really nice. The paneer tasted different, you could feel that it was made in house and I never got that taste anywhere else. Just one thing, we felt that there was a too much oil in the food. If that’s reduced it would be awesome! I may be the first one who pointed this out but please take it like a recommendation rather than a criticism. If the oil is reduced, the food will be very very close to home made food 🌸

EDIT: Lowering the score to a 1. For anyone curious why, feel free to read the owners response to a customer. Its all out in the public domain, and perhaps I am missing something. To the owner: pt 1: Spice level was never a problem. Ask any chef, who would put that much Thai chillies in a dosa? Pt2: It was because my mom said to let it be, I wanted to return the full item. pt3: 'After you *completely* finished your lunch': How this relevant? I paid for my food, I'll do whatever I want with it. I just took this picture, chillies were wrapped up in tissue to be polite. Thats how I was taught to conduct myself, but clearly class is something your establishment doesn't understand. Hence the review. pt4: You dismiss us and then ask us to give you a multiple chances? Respect is a two way street ma'am. And this is a customer telling you this. I bet you wont give the same treatment to others. If you feel my review is unfair thats fine, this is in public domain, its for people to decide. pt4: 'months later': Again, how is this relevant? It's just information I feel would be beneficial to the public, because I do not want people to have the perception of south Indian food as you guys do, particularly since your location a lot of people try it for the first time. Authentic you guys are not, so do not pretend otherwise. pt5: I was, if you read my other reviews I am more than willing to give an establishment another chance to improve and change, given its tangible and there is mutual respect and understanding. But with your comment, I am past it so I am not coming back. ******* I love a good dosa. This is a pale imitation in my book, which is fine. However, the service was outright messed up, and customers deciding to get a dosa need to be aware. Party of two went in on a fairly empty restaurant for lunch service, (we were the only ones there at the time). Since my mother enjoys dosa's with a bit of kick, we were curious to know what the baseline spice level is. The server was unable to explain, and just said 'it is what it is, its 'normal' spice'. We requested, if additional heat could be added. Standard request for any south Indian place, they generally give more dry chutney on the side or scale the heat level accordingly. This gaff decided to stuff the dosa with Thai green chillies. Which we get, is spicy but it was literally a pyramid of chillies layered inside the dosa. It could legitimately get people unwell. I don't know what the chef was thinking or what the server relayed, but this is common sense. If it was a sick prank, jokes on them anyway. Attaching the image for reference. My mum was nice enough to not return and just eat whatever was left after scraping the insides but this needs to be called out to the management and customers deciding to get dosa here.

Fantastic Destination for South Indian Cuisine! The dosas, South Indian coffee, and mango shake were all exceptional! I'm delighted to welcome this place into the 9 club with a well-deserved rating of 9.0/10.

The experience was quite disappointing. We ordered the “Mahal Special”, a combo of multiple items. The coconut chutney was far from any I’ve tasted before; it lacked authenticity and was rather unpalatable. Alongside our order, we tried the mango lassi which left a foul aftertaste. Upon voicing our concerns, the staff initially responded rudely and were hesitant to offer a replacement. After much discussion, they reluctantly agreed to provide an alternative. Additionally, the sambar was excessively tangy. A friend tried the Mysore masala dosa, which was overwhelmingly filled with garlic chutney, rendering it inedible. In conclusion, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. Don’t let the high ratings deceive you, as we did, only to regret it later.

Worth driving across Toronto for. I rarely eat Indian food unless I am involved in cooking it but I will be back for more tamarind dosa, idly, sambar and masala chai. The samosas and parathas were light and flaky, the idly soft and fluffy, and, by some magic, the pappadum was still perfect after we sat there for an hour talking. The service was great. I felt like an auntie being looked after by a favourite nephew.

The space is beautiful. The owner is so kind and pleasant, it was a joy to see her children there. The food was out of this world. And the iced chai was 👌

We ordered Masala Dosa and traditional style South indian Thali. Dosa and samber had good South indian taste. Dev, who served us, was very nice and explained everything very well. Then we had masala tea 🍵 and delicious mango coconut sweet bread. We enjoyed it there.

I got a take out and that Vadas are ok and the Chutney served with it is not at all tasty . Dosa is good and there is lot of construction going on in that area and no place for parking .

I got the vegan box combo - my first time eating here - and was so impressed by the flavour, quantity and price! 3 types of curries with rice and samosas were filling enough for two, making this my new go-to place for Indian food. I love the variety and am so happy to have found a restaurant that offers yummy (and wonderfully priced) vegan Indian food!

Popped in for lunch on Wednesday, alone. It was my first time there and i was treated very kindly by the couple who were either the owners or the managers (or both!). Lovely people, she explained the different dosa preparations and made a recommendation. It was delicious and i was really hungry, but halfway through, i thought: "i really want to give this place (and the people) a good review!". So i snapped a photo of my half eaten dosa! Go, and enjoy.

Had DoSa thali . The variety was very pleasing. Brought my friends in the next day. They loved it too. Awesome place for vegetarians.

Oh gosh ! One of the best idly vada sambar I’ve had in recent memory. Cosy little place with great service. Steaming dishes and masala chai. Got the pakoras and masala dosa to go.

Awesome parathas! I bought the thali with 3 parathas it was amazing. Check them out. 😁

Just had a sample of 3 vegan curries on delicious rice. Unbelievable flavours! My carnivore husband didn't even notice that the meal was vegan because it tasted SO good! Appetizers also great. As is everything else I've ever eaten here. Real homemade Indian food.

It's a cute place. The food and service are great. We were there near closing and they still accomodated us. The owner of the restaurant also continued to make sure that we were enjoying our experience. My family and I would definitely return to the restaurant for the food and friendly service.

A well-loved community gem of a restaurant. Come here if you want good dosa and friendly service! A warm atmosphere and tasty food. My favourite dosa place I've ever been to. I always get the masala dosa (the one with potatoes). Would highly recommend. Help support local businesses during these challenging times and go here!

Super place to have south indian food. Host are super friendly. Sarvanna bhavan Killer arrived in Toronto.

This restaurant is a must visit. I loved everything about my dining experience. The food was bursting with flavor and healthy. The dosa was so crispy- its was soooo good! The three curries and chutneys were mind-blowingly amazing and delicious. The staff was amazing too, she was kind, attentive and informative. I liked the decor and ambiance too. It is my new favorite indian restaurant. 💗

Dosas were so good and the service was great. Food tasted fresh. The restaurant was clean and the server was so helpful. Can’t wait to come back and try other items on the menu. Reasonably priced.

Why there is no -5 star. Quantity of sambhar is not sufficient, Other restaurants give chatni of the same quantity Taste is not good as they don't know how to make a mysor masal dosa. They put chilli flakes in mysor masala dosa. Who the hell do that bro.
