Group of 4 people! I always adore the food here. Authentic taste and all the different types of dosa. Service is slow but at-least they do not rush you to accommodate more customers. read more

Toronto is a very diverse ethnic city which is reflected in its food etc. It has a huge Indian population which brings with it amazing restaurants. I really like Annalakshmi for true veggie dinning. Sure our server was a complete Dbag....maybe his hairnet made him miserable...but the food was excellent. My litmus for any ethnic restaurant is a majority of dinners from that region...and in that regard it was filled with mostly Indian dinners....legit!! You come here for the dosas ...and they are good...light crispy ....okay a tad greasy. Good sauces not great. The stunner of the night was the fried masala rice....most FLAVORUL rice I have ever had. Prices are pretty reasonable considering food in Canada is insanely priced, I would definitely come back read more

Annalakshmi has been on my list for a while now so I'm happy I was able to finally check it out. I got the butter garlic masala dosa which came with 4 different things to eat with the dosa and the poori with aloo curry. Both were delicious and a little spicy. We were seated quickly and the food came quickly. Overall had a great time and will definitively be back! read more

Annalakshmi - Poori with aloo curry and garlic butter masala dosa which - Vegetarian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Annalakshmi proves you don't need meat when you know how to cook vegetables right. The food leans a bit salty, and I'd skip the biryani, but the dosas and vada? Fantastic. Well-made, full of flavor, and totally satisfying. read more

I was craving the Annalakshmi Thaali on a cold day. Dropped in and it was pretty busy. Service is always friendly. They have a lot of seating and it was busy. Food was good. I always enjoy the combination of different dishes that come in this thaali. Try it. You'd have to take some part of it home. read more

This has become my go to restaurant and I have had several positive experience with the different things I have ordered over the time. Some of my favourites are: Rasam, Chettinad Mushroom Fry and Chettinad Dosa. It's always busy and they don't hold reservations so it's a but chaotic to grab a table but it's worth for the food they serve here. read more

The dosas were pretty bad. We got the kids cone dosa and the Rava Masala Dosa. Both were crisp as chips. The service was really good.

This place was really popular so we stopped by for dinner. Overall the food was okay, it is probably an acquired taste that I'm not used to. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either and the staff wasn't all too friendly. We didn't feel great after and my boyfriend ended up with food poisoning.. read more

Stay away. It's really dirty, there was no air conditioning when we went in and there were flies everywhere, waitresses were sweating and sweat almost dripped into the food, tables were broken, clearly hygiene was an issue - STAY AWAY. Not worth it. You will find much better food elsewhere. read more

Middle-of-the-road all veggie south Indian, but staff aren't all that knowledgeable about what's vegan. I stopped in looking for a quick dinner, and quick it was. Their menu is all South Indian, with lots of types of dosa, uthappam, idli and more. I got their Rasam ($6 plus tax) soup to start, a simple, spicy lentil soup that wasn't all that impressive. If I had known that their main meals come with unlimited sambar, I wouldn't have ordered this - oh well. For my main, I got a Mix veg Uthappam ($14 plus tax), a fried rice pancake served with sambar and 3 dipping sauces. Not all that flavourful but certainly very filling. Friendly service but not all that clear about what's vegan. Decent spot but I wouldn't rush back. read more

Tried their masala dosa. Authentic taste of dosa, masala, chutneys and sambar! Good location and quick service (by Jay).

Been here a couple of times while traveling, Onion Bhajji was good on point but the supporting chutneys were lacking the flavor. Curd rice is a staple for most south indians, the simplicity of the dish exposes basic mistakes. Good home made Yogurt that is neither thick or runny Good quality non basmati rice that is cooked, not under cooked finely diced ginger with Julienned Thai Chillis. Big Miss when the tadka with Mustard, Curry leaves and Asafetida is prepared make sure mustard seeds crackle, both the times this was a big miss and more importantly keep the curd rice served at room temperature not ice cold. read more

Delicious Dosa! I'll be back for more. Also affordable and great location king west. read more

Great South Indian place in Toronto , amazing Masala Dosa with generous amount of potato masala , excellent service especially Thilieepan looked after us. Will visit them often for a wholesome South Indian food !! read more

Def one of my fav south Indian spots in the city, was introduced to this spot by a friend and I really like the fact that it's a huge menu and reasonably priced. I've tried their chilli garlic dosa and their sambhar rice and I loved them both, the portions were huge and the dishes were very flavourful. The service is always very smooth and fast as well! read more

Let me start with food . The food was not great . The food took ages to come and the food that we ordered did not meet the standards . We ordered the thali and I took more than half hour for them to service . The idlis were hard and the vadas looked like it was fried twice to serve The service was really really bad . Hardly any waiters to take orders and once the orders were taken it took more than half hour to give a single dish . The dishes we ordered came after we finished eating the entire food and we had to literally pack it . The ambiance was okay . There was as a long queue but hardly anyone to handle it . The restaurant was packed but not enough people to manage it . If you are okay waiting for an hour to eat your food then you should go , else I wouldn't suggest visiting read more

I'm always excited to find good South Indian food, and Annalakshmi has been one of my go-tos during the pandemic. They deliver consistently good vegetarian South Indian food. I've tried several things on their menu since I order from them so often, and they've been great. The Idly, Vada, Dosa, and the accompanying sambar & chutneys are all great. The Madras fried rice is a tad spicy but flavorful. Even the Thali / meals are pretty good. Their buttermilk (mor) is a great savory beverage to wash it all down - most other Indian restaurants add way too much cumin that ruin it, but not Annalakshmi. For something sweet, the mango milkshake is very good, they also have kulfis, and a decent rose milk that reminds me of Madras summers. Overall, super pleased with the consistent authentic flavors. read more

EXCELLENT food but I WON'T eat here again. I ordered take-out at least 5-6 times from this restaurant in the past 4 months. Today I dined in. PROS: 1. delicious food 2. Good portions 3. High priced but good quality ingredients/friendly customer service CONS: 1. SURPRISED - if you can't finish your meal dining in, they charge you for EACH container for leftovers. So, I paid for extra coconut chutney, & then I have to pay for a small sauce container to take it home. 2. Your choice is to throw away the food, or pay extra to take your leftover food home. I've never experienced this before. 3. One tiny bowl of Rasam is $6.00 dining in but if you order out, it's much more quantity for the same price. This seems like an attempt to squeeze your good-paying customers who are paying high end prices for quality food. I found it tacky & distasteful. read more

Walking distance to convention center. It was early evening on a weeknight and fairly empty but I appreciated the quiet. Service was good. Tried the paper masala dosa, which was pretty good. Dosa was fresh & hot, sambhar was good, 3 chutneys were good. Only disappointment was the potato bhaji inside the dosa- flavor was lacking, it could have been better. But, when faced with a craving for South Indian food/dosa, I left feeling satisfied. read more

Good South Indian food. My go to place in Downtown Toronto for some amazing dosas. Unlimited sambar is a big plus Not going for 5 stars because I feel like they could serve more filling. read more

Annalakshmi - Paper Masala Dosa - Vegetarian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Unprofessional to say the least. A little more focus on customer service would help restaurants succeed in these challenging times. Ordered food for takeout - a simple enough order of 4 dishes. Paid and drive 30 mins back to hotel before we realized the order was incomplete and was missing one of the mains. Called the restaurant and were given two options - someone dropping food off after the restaurant closed (!) or giving us a partial refund by cash transfer (not original form of payment). Despite a couple of reminder calls and now 36 hours later we are still awaiting a refund. read more

We had dinner here last night. The food was amazing and service very good too. We shall be back!

Food is good. Their vegetarian Korma is really good. Overall the taste of the food is good. But it still wouldn't figure in my regular go-to South Indian places. Because the food is more representative of the North Indian version of some of the South Indian cuisines and for me doesn't really scratch the itch for specific flavours that I look for in different South Indian cuisines. read more

Very pleased to have a South Indian restaurant in downtown Toronto. However they do need to get their on-line delivery orders correct. We ordered Paper dosais all 3 times. They got the first time order right and it's been downhill from there. The last two orders for paper dosai were somehow ignored and replaced with regular dosai. Last nights order was very unfortunate- my friend found a hair in her Uttapam, the appetizer was soaked in oil and the dosai were once again disappointing not paper. The food is delicious and authentic but please make sure that you get you follow up with your kitchen. read more

Though it was an overwhelming amount of food on the menu, all the food there tastes amazing, and it's one of my favourite south Indian restaurant to eat at. The service there was alright it had some good moments but the food took a really long time than normal, but the staff were very nice, and the restaurant also had a very nice and calming atmosphere with a nice ambiance, but sometimes it can get very loud and abnoxious. Overall it's an amazing place and would reccomend to other people, and definitely come again. read more

Never order from Uber Eats here. They are severely understaffed and will make you wait for more than 20 mins just to pick up your damn order. Even for the dine in option, people were waiting in a queue for a long time. Not worth the hassle and won't be coming back here again. read more

One the very few vegetarian places. Consistently good food. Soups are mediocre but everything else is very good. Butter garlic dosa is nice.

The food was decent but the experience was horrible! I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there. - When we went there, we were told to wait 15 minutes as no table was free. We saw several people show up after us who got a table (and it didn't look like they had a reservation). After 15 minutes we went up to the reception and were told to wait 15 more minutes.. already a bad sign, but we did stay. - Along with our food, we ordered a coffee, tea and one buttermilk. After spending 1.5 hours and making multiple requests for our drinks, we eventually decided to give up. Right then, we noticed the table next to us, where the customers had arrived just 10 minutes ago, get a drink. When we asked the waiter and the manager/person at the reception about our drinks, we were told (i) that table ordered a tea and we had ordered coffee - tea was ready so they got it. (ii) When we reminded them that our order also included a tea, they went on to say that the restaurant was out of milk so they couldn't get our order and they just walked away. None of this makes any sense! We were too annoyed to even ask anything more at that point.. read more

I ordered a plate of idli plate tonight as there was only two choices dosa and idli. Very disappointing. I had to ask the wait staff 4x before the order finally arrived they could've apologized or offered me a discount. I didn't even get that. I didn't enjoy my meal now I'm ordering another meal. My family enjoyed there dosas. I will never eat there again. read more

Really excellent South Indian food. I had the Masala Dosa - the dosa was perfectly cooked and the potatoes inside were beautifully spiced. Chutneys were all on point as well. The sambar was the only item that was a bit subpar - it reminded me more of dal than sambar. We also had the rava and idli - both were perfect. The masala chai was very good as well. read more

Waste of time. U go and sit like a dummy. Then you see customers who walked in after you get menus and they also order before u get the menus. This happened today. We decided to leave and no one bothered to ask what was wrong. Looks like they have a lot of customers and they dont care if a few just leave because of horrible service. read more
