The Côte-des-Neiges branch of Montreal's Lakshana's chain, specializing in South Indian cooking from the Chettinad region. Crisp dosas, sambar, house-made chutneys and idli vada come up most often in reviews.
The menu also includes tiffin sets and customizable home-style plates, in a setting described as cozy, with online ordering for pickup.
