I was surprised at how nice the restaurant was! My boyfriend and I ordered the mysore dosa and onion rava dosa both with aloo (potatoes). I was really impressed with the variety of dosas available. We also got mango lassis! The waiter was also very nice and we didn't have an issue with the service. I will definitely be coming back here again!

The best dosa place in the GTA. I had the chaat dosa. The flavours painted a rainbow in my mouth; I saw a vision of angels and I heard the most beautiful music in my mind as I ate my meal. The dessert, ras malai, was absolutely perfect as well. I only wish I had room for some more food.

I am over the moon in love with dosa and Guru Lukshmi is the dosa king, seriously this is dosa at some of it's finest! I have come here for the past five years at least and it has been popular the entire time I have been a dosa fan-girl. They used to be in this little strip mall, with the tiniest little eating area and there was always the same amount of people eating as waiting to be seated! This location is a lot larger, cleaner and sleeker! What I really enjoy is the way they educate you about the dosa, on the menus and the televisions.. This is a great addition as not everyone knows how to eat the dosa, how to order the dosa or what to expect once the dosa comes and you are required to eat this huge paper crepe. It can be overwhelming for the newbies. My boyfriend and I came here after returning from our cruise and we really wanted South Asian food. We ordered the idly and vada with the sambar on the side, the idly was light and fluffy, a very clean taste. The vada stole the show and I let my boyfriend eat his "Indian doughnut" which is a bit crispy and oh so flavorful! This is easily the best vada I have ever had!The dosa was amazing, there is not much else to say. I had a spicy paper dosa and it was great! Really fresh and crispy. I loved the green chutney it is always my fav!The service was great, really quick and friendly. I love Guru Lukshmi and there is no question that I will be returning here. I love bringing people who have never had dosa before and watching their reaction when their food comes. Priceless! If you can, come around six pm to avoid long wait times or come for lunch!

one of the most mouth watering dosa places I have been to outside of india. It is perennially packed, so make sure you reserve a table especially on weekends. They are pretty responsive to emails/phone. Service can sometimes make you feel rushed but with their high turnover, I am hardly surprised. Ambience is quite upscale with comfortable seating. I usually get the idly/vada combo dipped in sambar. The taste of the sambar reminds me of home. For dosas, they serve 3 different chutneys. Dosas can be super crispy at times so make sure you request the right consistency if you don't like your dosas crispy. I will go back here in a heartbeat, usually we take friends and family who visit us here.

Guru Lukshmi is by far the best South Indian restaurant anywhere around. After living 5 years+ in South India this is the only one that gets the approval seal! Absolutely delicious food. I always have the vada(lentil bun) / idli(rice bun) combo in the beginning (dipped in the curry as it should be), an it's never changed. Always perfectly cooked and spiced. The rasam (South Indian soup) is yes very spicy but bloody delicious! But the key are the dosa's, I always try the basic first to make sure and it was great, hence I've tried a bunch of their dosa types and I've yet to find fault with any of them! All of them are just so good!! Lastly make sure you have the Madras Filter Coffee. It brings back memories! Go there ASAP! An make a reservation!
