" Mahal Tanjore's fried rice is sublime! We ordered a mix of everything, and every dish had character. Definitely a restaurant that serves with care. Can’t wait to go back and try more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit, but the rava dosa wasn’t as good as I expected. It was undercooked and lacked flavor. However, the chutneys were flavorful! The parking situation could be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my visit. The dosa was fine, not too crispy, and the service could use improvement. I loved their sambhar, however, which was rich and flavorful. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the lunch buffet on a weekday, and it was a delight! Lots of options and the food was very flavorful. Each dish was well-spiced and paid homage to Indian cuisine. The staff was attentive despite the rush. One of the best places for South Indian meals in Ottawa! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes, but unfortunately, the food was just okay. The chicken dosa was mostly potato, which was disappointing. I expected more authentic flavors. The service was decent. " (*Curated Review*)

" Authentic South Indian food awaits you at Mahal Tanjore! Their thali is a complete meal with lots of options including desserts. I always come hungry and leave satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the dosas! My family and I devoured each one. Wish we could have tried more but had to save room for the chai. It's worth the extra calories! " (*Curated Review*)
