Simply South Mississauga

Masala Dosa

A thin, golden-lacey crepe folded around spiced potato masala, the benchmark dish by which every South Indian kitchen should be judged — and Simply South passes

Full Meals (Thali)

A rotating plate of rice, sambar, rasam, multiple vegetable curries, papad, pickle, and dessert — the definitive way to eat here

Filter Coffee

Strong decoction blended with frothy milk and poured between tumbler and dabara at the table — an essential ritual and one of the GTA's better cups

Idli Sambar

Pillowy steamed rice cakes with tangy lentil sambar — a deceptively simple dish that reveals the kitchen's real skill

Medu Vada

Crispy fried lentil doughnuts with a crackling exterior and tender center, served with sambar and coconut chutney

Pongal

Creamy rice and moong dal porridge seasoned with black pepper, cumin, and ghee — comforting and deeply satisfying as a breakfast dish

Uthappam

Thick, spongy rice pancake topped with onions, tomatoes, and green chillies — a softer, more filling alternative when the dosa craving isn't calling

Rasam

Thin, peppery tamarind broth served as a palate cleanser alongside the full meal — deceptively warming and a litmus test for any Tamil kitchen
