tried this dosa about three years ago when I was one and a half months pregnant, and I still remember how delicious it tasted. I recently went back again after my baby is now one and a half years old, and the dosa tasted just as amazing as before! The flavor, the crispiness, and the consistency are still perfect. Truly one of the best dosas Iβve ever had. Highly recommended!

When trying a new Indian restaurant I always get a hot spiced Chicken Jalfrezi as my test plate. Sadly here I was disappointed with the fare. Little flavour with only mild spices and rather on the dry side. It was also full of cooked peas which is my pet hate lol. A personal choice that some may see as a positive but not me. Service was quick and the mango lassie was nice. Lunch special was reasonably priced but serving size on the smaller side to other places.

Lovely wee little place. Small, not very fancy but the food is hands down delicious. Service was good, had dosa and chicken vindaloo

Excellent South Indian food with outstanding flavors - the cuisine is truly exceptional. However, major hygiene concern: no handwashing facilities available anywhere in the restaurant. Great food, but the lack of basic washroom amenities significantly impacts the dining experience.ββββββββββββββββ

Went at this lovely South Indian restaurant for dinner last night, we ordered Samosa chat as entree, mysore masala dosa, cheese dosa and plain dosa for mains. All the food is absolutely delicious and the dosa is very crunchy which I love the most also the coconut chutney and red chutney are delicious. Must try dosa from Chanakya one of the best in town highly recommend. There are sitting area in the restaurant but very limited. Donβt forget to book the table cause itβs always busy and hard to get table for dine in.

Tried lunch here for the first time. Got a lamb saag and an eggplant dish. Both were wonderful. Great value to at under $10 per dish. Looking forward to going back for dinner.

Ordered a mango chicken, received something that definitely isnβt that. Didnβt look, smell or taste like even a hint of mango. Also had cashew nuts in it, never had a mango chicken with them in it. Was told when I rung up thatβs just how they make them. Very misleading item description. Also do not order the vege pakora they were inedible. Dry bits of batter with either no filling or big chucks of gross looking and tasting onion. βFresh vegesβ in the description is a lie. Unfortunately the worst Indian food I have ever had and Iβve had a lot.

We had chilly gobi from here and it's the worst item ever. It was very bland, hard and soaked in oil. We complained and the lady took it back replacing it with another item. This had been concluded then. But to our Surprise, they had charged us for it. And on asking about it, they got into a fight saying they're the best in the business and they cannot accept complaints. They kept repeating the same and the wait staff - which is their entire family got into denial and got into a big argument. It's the worst ever experience ever in terms of hospitality. Customer service and what not? Being a regular customer, I never expected to be treated this way. This is utter chaos where the chef came out and said he never received even one complaint in his entire 10+ years cooking experience. When you accept compliments! Why not accept complaints or criticism on the chin! No wonder why, on all the negative reviews of this restaurant - Customer service has been the talking point! Please read through. To exacerbate matters, when approached about the poor quality of the food, the restaurant staff hid behind their claim of being a small business in need of support. This manipulative tactic is an unjustifiable excuse to deliver subpar food and evade accountability. It is unfair to exploit the goodwill of customers who are seeking an enjoyable dining experience and expect quality food forΒ theirΒ money. Disclaimer - Being an Indian, to an extent we faced indian discrimination too during the discussion/debate. So watch out guys if you have to have a discussion. I am never going back again!

Small hidden gem with delicious food and customer obsessed. Amazing service. We ordered Mysore masala dosa, Idli , butter paneer ( best paneer I had, looks like they make fresh Paneer) , lamb biryani cooked to perfection. Away from home during vacation this place gave us the comfort with delicious food. If you are a big group , take away would be better option.
