One of my favourite dosa restaurants. I come here often and I can't believe I haven't left a review yet. Subiksha is pure vegetarian and has a variety of dosas to choose from. My go to is the paneer dosa and the quality and customer service always remains the same. They also have a few different chutneys. Due to the size of the store, you may have to leave your name on a waiting list but it's definitely worth the wait ! read more

Came out to this place for lunch today. It's located in a busy plaza with tight parking spots. This restaurant is busy with a constant amount of customers - the tables are all full even at 2 pm. So the pros - service is definitely efficient. When you ask for something, it is brought out to you promptly. I ordered the dosa and it came with four different chutneys. One of them was too spicy for me, but I could handle the other three and they were good. The dosa was yummy and crispy. It was also very filling. It took me a long time to finish it because it's so big. You can't go wrong with this price point... about $10 depending on the type of dosa you get. The only con is they rush you out pretty quick after you are done eating but I guess this makes sense since there's a steady flow of customers and seating is pretty limited. read more

Subiksha Foods - Dosa - Indian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

"Dosas come in quicker and tastier than some other well known South Indian food chains" I have known Subiksha restaurant for a long time and they have come a long way. We ordered some dosas and sambar vada. The Dosa was phenomenal and I dare anyone to finish the Dosa on your own. It was huge! Except for the tomato chutney, everything else tasted exactly as back home. The interiors are nicer now and they have some tables but definitely can be made larger for more customers (given their popularity). The only downside is they don't have filter coffee which IMO, is a must have for any South Indian restaurant. The other downside is, along with their growth, the food prices have become costlier. Dinner for 2 could cost you easily between 30-40$. Otherwise must visit for any South Indian fan. I plan to come again for a full Thali. read more

I have been disappointed time and again with some of the South Indian restaurants that I have eaten at. I spent some time doing research on the internet before I found this place through Google reviews. Walking into the restaurant, I found the ambience pleasant and the seating area nice. The place is pretty busy and there is a thirty minute limit to how long you can occupy a table. I had a weird experience of having an ill-mannered stranger just come and sit at my table without even asking me if it was all right with me - to their credit, one of the gracious servers noticed this and especially came to ask me if I was okay with sharing my table. I didn't want to make a scene and said it was fine. I ordered the paper roast masala dosa. It was a decent sized dosa stuffed full with potatoes although it desperately needed some salt and spice to make it tasty. The sambar was cold and the quantity was too less for the dosa. Not being a chutney expert, I can only say that the tomato chutney was pretty nice compared to the others. As I mentioned before, the servers were nice and attentive - no tip was demanded for their service. I would have loved to give this place a higher rating, but the the lack of taste and/or spice in the food and bad condition of the washrooms makes this impossible. read more

I don't really like homemade dosa so I wanted to try restaurant style dosa. Cheese onion masala doas was big portion, enough for two with lots of stuffing. Still don't like dosa, but there were other things to eat here. I got the Sambhar idly vadai combo. Very good and tasty. There's a nice variety of sambols and service was quick. read more

I came to this place in hopes to find a replacement for my Dosa craving as my regular place is no longer. I picked this place based off the yelp reviews and the Google reviews. The dosa selection was good. I found there was something for everyone on the menu in regards to flavours and preferences. After reviewing everything, I went with the trusty Mysore Masala dosa and a Masala dosa. Now the dosa itself was very good. A nice light and crispy dosa for each one we ordered. The reason for the star loss you ask? The sambar was extremely small and the chutney's were extremely watery. In fact, I found we didn't eat much of any of the three chutneys. I know previous yelpers have had issues with the service however we found the service to be friendly, quick and not long of a wait to get anybody's attention (there was also no need to grab server's attention) read more

It was my first time having dosas and after reading the few but HIGHLY rated reviews about Subiksha, I knew this was the spot to get authentic & good valued dosa. //Venue & Service// When you walk in, you choose a table to sit and they'll bring over menus. Once you're ready, you go up to the cashier to order & pay, then they will bring your food to your table. We were fortunate to have an Indian family sitting nearby that overheard us freaking out about not knowing what to order. So we went with what they strongly recommended: 1) Masala Dosa $8.99 2) The Vegetarian Sampler Platter $11.99 3) Madras Coffee $2.99 There's also a sink at the side for you to wash up after devouring your meal with your hands ! //The Food// MASALA DOSA- The dosa was so crisp on the exterior but had a slight softer chewier layer underneath. In the center, it had a delicious potato stuffing. It was served with 3 chutneys & sambar. My favourite was the coriander mint chutney & the orange-coloured chilli chutney. VEGETARIAN SAMPLER PLATTER - With a mountain of rice and pappadam (crispy thin white flatbread), you had a wide variety of additional small dishes to eat with. I especially loved the spinach curry and the cabbage dish. They also had a small dessert of the savoury Medu Vada (mini donut) and sweet Mysore Pak (yellow block of ghee). MADRAS COFFEE- this little cup of filtered coffee is amazing. Coming from someone that doesn't like coffee, this was frothy, light, and sweet. //Overall// I would come back to this humble little restaurant in a heart beat for some authentic vegetarian South Indian cuisine!! read more

Food was great and service was fast. Staff were very friendly and they don't accept tip.

Enjoyed their crispy rava masala dosa soooo much. Also their paper crispy plain dosa was topnotch. their chutneys and sambars have such a lovely South Indian/ srilankai flavor. I only wish Asians stores would be more complacent of the hygiene of the stores. That restaurant needs a good goood gooooood scrub using Chlorox and soap I mean every other place that's my biggest peeve. Why are we so slack with cleaning practices. And given Covid I don't know what they can't clean. oMG Will the health and sanitization staff please be more complacent of this! read more

One of the best South Indian places in the GTA. Their mini tiffin is the best deal in town.

I used to go to Mississauga, once a month to have Dosas. But that place has got really busy now and it's impossible to get in without a reservation. Tried a couple times but they had no tables. I was really disappointed because I was craving for good Dosa which is really hard to find here. I was in the area and stumbled upon this restaurant on google. Saw some great reviews so decided to go in. I went there for dinner with my husband. As you enter you can see that it is a restaurant with a very basic decor. You can sit where ever you like. Server will give you menus and you can decide what you want to order. We decided to go for a Paper Roast Masala Dosa and Masala Onion Dosa and Madras Coffee. Food arrived very quickly. It was a huge portion. An overwhelmingly big dosa served with 2 chutneys, sambhar and 2 other veg dishes. Both the dosas were very crispy and beautifully cooked. Both the chutneys - Coriander coconut and spicy coconut were very delicious. Sambhar was the star of the dish. However the portion size of Sambhar is very small, not at all enough for the Size of Dosa they serve. We had to order 2 more sides of Sambhar to finish our dosa. I would highly recommend them to increase their portion size for their sambhar. I can also say that this was by far the best dosa I've ever had in Toronto and one of the major reasons they get the first spot from me is because of their Sambhar and chutneys which were on point. I have had equally good dosas but not sambhar ans chutneys. Do visit if you like dosas or would like to try it for the first time. read more

Red and green chili were great, but the korma was the star of the show. I wish I knew how they made it--it was the perfect spice and creaminess. The only down side was the dosa getting soggy in the take out container. It's unfortunate that that's the only way we can get dosa nowadays, but I wish there were a way to keep it crispy outside and soft inside. That said, that kind of packaging was great for the idli, which essentially kept it soft and fluffy! read more

The food is really good. The staff is friendly. I have been a customer here for a long time. Prices are reasonable and the place is always full. Consider it to be your lucky day if you are seated soon. Keep up the good work! read more

We came on a Friday night at around 7:30 and the place was packed. Waited for about half an hr before getting a table. Ambiance: the place is a little run down. Food: We ordered the masala dosa, thali, idly. The masala dosa was very good. It came with 3 curries to dip the dosa in, and they fill it with a potato mash. Needless to say, it was flavourful and filling. The thali was a sample dish which came with 4 curries, 1 chutney, and a sweet side dish. It was a little plain. The idly was spicy and flavourful. Overall, the food was good, but I would only go back for the dosa. We paid about $30 for all 3 things, and we left feeling full, which feels like you are getting a good deal. However, the actual ingredients of each dish was either vegetable / potato, which are relatively inexpensive ingredients. So at the end of the day, I don't think you are getting as much value as you'd think. read more

Love this place. Mostly for their Idli's. So far best idlis in and around Toronto IMO.

Low key seems to be the right key to this girl's heart. On a slow Saturday morning, we decided to venture out to parts unknown in our neighborhood. Much to my surprise, a little hidden shop that I've so frequently overlooked, definitely exceeded my expectations in the most pleasant of ways. Subiksha is minimalistic in its décor and presentation, but when it comes to their food, it's everything but. Packed full of flavor and savoury goodness, they redefined my standards of dosas- perhaps, dare I say that this is definitely the best Dosas I've ever had. The shop's small dining area is barely big enough to accommodate for their overflowing patrons. Popping with locals, we were lucky to snatch a seat as we entered. Bared walls and beaten furniture aside, the wait staff were lovely, even at the busiest of times. Though I had to say, they only have a very limited numbers of menus to go around, and had to wait a bit for it to make its rounds. They are little picture or descriptions to go by, I felt slightly overwhelmed by the large offerings. However, I did find out that their online website not only have the menu listed, but all the items are accompanied by pictures for the novice dinners, like myself. I ordered the Ghee Roast Masala dosa (with added cheese of course) and a paratha served with masala, along with a Madras Coffee and tea. The food came out impressively fast and hot. Dosa was paper thin and crisp as can be. The ghee and cheese added a layer of depth that I quite enjoyed. I loved that the Masala (although too carb laden even for me) was flavourful but not overly salty, and definitely filled me up to max itis inducing level. The lightness, evenness, and crispiness of the dosa hit all the right notes. The paratha was also very delicious. Flakey, buttery, and soft with a crispy exterior all rolled in one. Each of the accompanying sides was very carb heavy and will leave you quite full. We packed 50% of the meal home for later snackage. The tea and coffee were awesome as well, fragranced with cardamom and various spices. A definite must try. Strong bold taste that added quite a caffeine kick (take it from someone that drinks Vietnamese coffee in place of water). You should try to pull the drinks yourself. Be quick and nibble to not spill, transfer the liquid from one cup to another to add some body and foaminess to the drinks, surprisingly, by doing so it did transform the drinks quite nicely and cooled it down quicker. Overall, hands down this place has got it all, great food at an amazing price with no added pressure of looking good while eating. It was quite fun to eat everything with our hands (even though after multiple washing and lotioning up, the strong fragrance of the spices was still lingering), just remember to wash up prior and following the meal. We will definitely frequent this joint more often, it's well worth the try. read more

The location, set-up, and service in this place leaves a lot to be desired but is completely overshadowed by how great the food is, and how much of a steal it is at these prices! My companion and I settled on the Mysore Masala Onion Dosas, which did not disappoint. It's got just the right amount of spicy for those who like that kick, and the fresh red onion provides a lovely texture. The dosa is perfectly cooked and the masala potato curry inside is tasty! The accompanying sambar and chutneys are also fantastic! Also got some vada before we hit the road -- excellent snacks. Can't wait to return here sometime! read more

Consistently good quality vegetarian food with reasonable prices . Their portion sizes are big and can feed two easily . Have had dosas biriyani kothu and tiffin items taken out from here and everything has been good so far . This is a busy take out place and hence wait could be a little longer than traditional take out places but totally justifies as South Indian food needs to be cooked after the order is placed . Food is so fresh and tastes amazing every time . Consistent value for money. Kudos to the team for their good work read more

I visited when this store just opened a couple years ago, and I'm so proud of how much it's grown in popularity. This is by far the best authentic South Indian restaurant I've visited in the GTA. Their portions are big, price is reasonable, and the food always tastes consistent... they never have a bad day. Places like this uphold Scarborough's reputation for having amazing food. I've been ordering takeout for now but I can't wait for COVID to pass so I can dine in again... how I miss eating the crispy hot dosai while listening to background Tamil songs playing on their TV... read more

Wow. What a hidden gem. Went there after reading yelp reviews. I must tell you that you will not be disappointed. Went there around 6:30 for dinner was seated quickly. There is seating for may be 20-30 guests. Place was already full and we were lucky to find the last table. Looks like place is family run. Food: Ordered Onion butter masala dosa(9.99)- One of the best I ever had. So much flavor to it. The size is humongous for the price. Comes with Sambar and 3-4 different type of chutneys. Wife ordered Vada plate which comes with 3 vada and Chutney/Sambar. These were freshly prepared and not re heated which you find at other places. SHe was very happy with her meal. We could not finish the meal since the quantity was huge. But it was so good that I could not leave anything on table :p The place could be jugded by people wanting to get a seat. While we were there for around 45 mins, atleast 20 people were waiting outside to get a table and there was non stop take out orders getting dispatched. I was so impressed that decided to come again next day for breakfast but my bad luck could not make it. I will surely come back again when I am in Toronto again. Keep up the good work guys. You are a hidden gem. read more

My goodness!! The sambar made the meal! I mean the vada, excellent, the dosa, crispy, the idili, soft and pillowy, but that sambar... It was perfect! It reminds me of those specialty dosa shops you go to in South India, where all they make all day is dosa, idili and vada... Same layout, same flavour, and about the same price, save for the difference in exchange! I had such a wonderful meal that I had to go home and take a nap just to relish in the goodness. When you get there, find a seat, pick what you want from the menu, and then sit back and let the flavours and memories of your favourite dosa place back home wash over you. Can't wait to visit again... Actually... I'm gonna go tonight! read more

They want to offer simply delicious South Indian food and do that really well. It's one of those places that doesn't have qualms about it. Clean yet stylish, simple yet delicious, authentic and not pricey, friendly service is what defines this place. Come during the rush hours and it will be a challenge to find space to dine but take homes are a great option. The Dosas, Idly are one of the best w r liked by all. Easily one of the most authentic restaurant in Scarbrough area. read more

*Please note: this is a vegetarian restaurant only* Came here as a friend recommended this place and gf was craving Indian for a while therefore we decide to try this new place. The decor of the restaurant is plain, however clean, at 2pm it is packed with people it's usually a good sign, we sat down and the waitress hand us our menu, the price on the menu is very affordable IMO, however as the waitress explains the restaurant is newly opened, the menu currently does not have any pictures. That is fine, as we were recommended dosa and poori from our friend, we ordered both of them and asked the waitress to recommend one more to us (since we have 3 people), we ended up with protta, we also ordered the dessert and masala tea. The food came out fast including the dessert, and here's my comments: Dosa: It tastes great, crispy, freshly made, like a giant spring roll with flavors to it, in addition, there are few sauces for u to choose for dipping purpose, my favorite out of the 3 dish Poori: Thin crust, but soft and fresh, this is perfect for dipping sauces, I am like the variety of sauces they provide, as well as the taste Protta: It looks and taste totally like Chinese oil pancake, and very filling, I believe this is also great with dipping sauces, especially the tomato sauce which seems to be homemade? Dessert: It has a gooey texture to it, and a bit on the sweet side, however this is a dessert I never seen in other Indian restaurants, that being said, I only have visited handful of Indian restaurants therefore perhaps it's a common dish in many restaurants? Masala tea: Downside is you have to pull the tea yourself, I asked the waitress twice to realize I need to pour from one cup to the other, which is exactly how we see southern Asian restaurants perform the pull milk tea in front of u, except in here you do it yourself, BUT for 1.50 I am not complaining at all, not to mention the tea taste pretty good as well This restaurant definitely have some rooms to improve like decor, but definitely a recommendation for the price and taste read more

The dosas were made to perfection. I tried the Rava Masala dosa and it was phenomenal. This dosa is not listed on the menu, so just ask the server if it's available. My boyfriend had the ghee dosa and he said it was good. Nice and crunchy :). The one thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars was the sambar. I have had better sambar at other locations, but it was not horrible. I am definitely going back for more :) . read more

I'm going to start this off by saying the food is a 10/10 and is SUPER SLAMMING and it's what saves this place. But the service is absolutely atrocious and makes me so frustrated to go. Every time I come here, I feel ignored by the one person working and I don't know what to do to get their attention. You feel awkward just standing by the door. Do I wait here? Do I sit? The server never looks at you and you are left there in limbo. It really sucks and I even talked to the waiter after about how their service is bad and they seem to know but not really care? I had to go get my own water, utensils and cups because after asking the server for them twice I got fed up. Try and go on the off hours and I'm sure it'll be better but honestly their service is so bad that it's really hard to know. Truly awful service aside, their food is 100% SLAMMING and is the only reason I will come back. Try the gunpowder masala dosa. It will make your life complete. That gunpowder sprinkled on was made by a master chef. Their rasa wasn't good but everything else I tried was really good like the idli and sambhar which was like your old auntie made it. By the way this place is 100% vegetarian so don't expect any meat! It might come as a surprise to you as most dosa places have some meat dishes but this place doesn't. The interior of the restaurant is also terrible and they had Christmas tinsel up despite it being the summer. They need to repaint the entire restaurant and take down the top fixture things that should be showing menus but for some reason doesn't? (I guess if it was take away it would). Anyway I digress. Go for the food but see if you can do takeout because their food is truly incredible. read more

Excellent dosa, but was lacking in other areas. Overall a very authentic experience. If you just want a really good dosa, come here. We got the ghee roast masala dosa and the south Indian thali. The dosa itself was enormous and delicious. The sambhar and coconut chutney were good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the other two chutneys, especially the tomato-based one (tasted like tomato sauce basically). Thali was not bad, but not great. I have yet to find a south Indian thali that comes close to the best of what you can find in India. However, I would say that this place was above average when compared to the restaurants in India. Gets four stars since the dosa was great and in general good south indian food is hard to come by. read more

This place definitely gets a 5 star. The food is delicious. I've had the idly, dosa and thali. The prices are very reasonable and the service is great. It is a small place and does get full quickly, so you may have to wait but trust me, it is worth the wait. The quality of the food is amazing, especially for the price. Highly recommend it. It has definitely become one of my go to places. read more

The food was awesome! I really wish we could have a seat at the restaurant and enjoy that delicious meal with the family. Ordered: Idli sets (5 idlis with chutney and sambhar), Onion Tomato Uttapam and a set of Vada. The sambhar was one of the best I've had in Canada so far. And those chutneys were finger licking good. The mains - idlis were soft and fluffy. Even the next day, a pop in the microwave and voila! The uttampam was nothing short of a medium pizza portion. The Vada wasn't fresh, or a tad bit dry for my liking. Overall - an amazing food experience. Definitely will be going back for more. Ps- the portions are HUGE. :) read more

Great taste and great value for money. I love their gun powder dosa. Clean and hygienic as well

worst quality. please don't go and waste your money. oily food. Vada was almost rotten stage.
