What Milan B likes about Restaurant Jolee:
Best srilankan cuisine around montreal. Prices are cheap and big portions with friendly service. Comfortable place to dine in and place is bit busier all the time. View all feedback. What Khyati P doesn't like about Restaurant Jolee:
The food was good. Excessive wait time and very poor service. We have visited this place first time and got very disappointed. When we needed to order something, we had to go to the counter as the guy who knew that we wanted something, always ignored us. View all feedback.

Prices are cheap but you get what you pay for. Overall it was ok but don't need to return. Enjoyed the spice level and tried new things like string hopper.

Jolee restaurant, located in the heart of cosmopolitan Cote-Des-Neiges, is one of the first Sri Lankan/South Indian restaurants to open in Montreal. The restaurant offers very tasty and affordable fare, with recommended dishes including mutton biryani, chicken 65, string hoppers, and beef/mutton/vegetarian rolls. However, the location is described as very dingy, with poor lighting and odour, making dine-in not recommended. Despite some concerns about cleanliness and quality control, the food is generally hot and good. The restaurant has a brisk take-out business and a fairly busy clientele. While some reviewers had a negative experience with the food and service, others found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Overall, Jolee restaurant offers excellent food at a good price, with sizable portions and a variety of tempting choices on the menu. It is recommended for fans of Sri Lankan and Indian cuisine.
