Spicy food and spicy sambhar overall. Menu is confusing too. I think only very few items are selective and good to eat as others are not much impressive.

Requesting for less spicy food while ordering a food is not an offense.

Seems Cook has a lot of attitude problem when requested for less spicy stuff. Ready to argue with customers instead of understanding the customer requirements like less spicy or customized things. He sent me a rude message through server which triggered all the issues after the payment.

Sending messages from kitchen to silent , polite customers are definitely not restaurant ethics and a decent way.

These all things come when some places are overrated and I am sure that at some moment , restaurant will realize and address the actual issues of the menu and spice instead of changing the tracks.

Raising the voice at anyone is bad and specially at customer who are polite and with family of 4 including 3 matured females . I made the payment without utter a single word and was on the way to exit but still being stopped and embarrassed by staff infront of my family. It has been noticed by other customers also for which restaurant should work definitely .

I also know that it’s a misunderstanding and the girl who served was a nice person , confident and talented girl therefore no complaints for her. But seems 100 % overloaded with work and packed at that time.

Note:- Overloading employees with lot of work is actually a disrespect and there should be some help available at front desk for the customers and employees at peak time.

Music was really loud and in a repetitive mode at YouTube during my visit. Bringing these concerns are actually a positive thing. It’s going to help restaurant for better options.

Sure, not a best place for South Indian as Ambience and hospitality were missing also there.

Good restaurants owners are those who takes all feedback in a positive way and work for the best. I wish you good luck and truly believe that you will work on the flaws instead of arguing. Otherwise no feedback is worth giving and you will keep loving the good...

A superb restaurant you don't want to miss! The meals, prepared in-house are genuine reflection of this cuisine. Dining here offers you a chance to step into South Indian culture of food and to learn about its food delicacies, which are made totally authentically. Everyone working there is also excited to tell you about each of the meals. For us, each meal was absolutely delicious, and the chef found it very important that we enjoyed and were content with our meals.

The service is fabulous- the server described how each meal was prepared, and gave us a sense of excitement when we ordered our meals. They consistently returned to ask how we were enjoying our meals and if there was anything else we would like or need. The owner made a special trip to our table to consistently check on us as well. What was remarkable to me is that he was also doing this for every other table, seated at his restaurant. The owner cares, as do all the members of his team. Whether you are a party of one or 10, this restaurant can accommodate you, and is glad to do so. We were a reservation for 8 people.

The food here is delicious, the place is very clean, and everyone working there, including the owner places a focus on your experience, as if you're the only ones in the restaurant, while it's packed. Above all, the owner and everyone working there are proud of the restaurant, and are committed to those who dine there.

Stretching a little beyond the very small perimeter of many UW and WLU sudents' hangout spots, Jayalakshmi South Indian Cuisine, by the heart of downtown Kitchener, is absolutely worth your while.

I recommend that anybody dine here. Everyone is very welcoming, and it is clear that they all find joy in their guests' enjoyable experiences.

Thank you Jayalakshmi for the great meals. We will definitely be coming...

My recent dining experience at Hotel Jayalaxmi left me absolutely delighted! As a devoted fan of South Indian cuisine, this restaurant exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I entered, the ambiance exuded warmth and authenticity, promising a memorable culinary journey.

Now, let me talk about the star of the show - the food! Each dish was a symphony of vibrant flavors, but the Rasam stood out as my personal favorite. The aromatic blend of spices and tangy tamarind made it an irresistible delight for my taste buds.

Anagha, our attentive server, went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Her passion for the cuisine was evident as she guided us through the menu, making excellent recommendations along the way.

The masala dosa, paired with an array of delectable chutneys and sambar, was an absolute treat. The attention to detail and authentic preparation truly transported me to the heart of South India.

The entire team at Hotel Jayalaxmi provided impeccable service, adding to the overall dining experience. Their attentiveness and genuine hospitality made us feel truly valued as guests.

In conclusion, Hotel Jayalaxmi is a haven for South Indian food enthusiasts. The delectable dishes, warm ambiance, and exceptional service, especially Anagha's genuine care, make it a standout gem. If you're seeking an unforgettable South Indian culinary adventure, don't miss out on Hotel Jayalaxmi's delightful offerings!

I can't wait to return for more of their heavenly rasam and other scrumptious...

I am giving this place one star just for the taste. Otherwise, it is not a good place to visit more than once. I am never coming back. First of all, the food is overpriced for the quantity. I have dined in many restaurants in nearby cities. Just talking about one of the closest cities, Guelph — all Indian restaurants there charge $15–17 CAD for chicken biryani, and they provide double the amount of chicken and rice compared to this place. That amount is always more than enough for two people. In contrast, this place charged $16 CAD for a biryani that was only enough for one! Secondly and most importantly, they even lack basic common sense — they did not provide a knife or fork, just a spoon! All the Indian restaurants I have visited always give two plates and two sets of cutlery whenever they see two people dining in, no matter what you order. They did not do that here. Instead, they gave just one plate on which they served the food. When I asked for an extra plate, the waitress gave me a half plate (see in the second photo) and asked if it was okay. Of course, I couldn’t be rude and say “No, it’s not okay.” But seriously, who does that? Just wearing a formal outfit does not make you a good food server. You need to have some common sense and empathy for your diners. This was such a disappointing experience. They need to learn basic food-serving skills first. Also, that biryani should be no more than $12 CAD in my opinion.

Such a great find – would totally go again! This was my first time trying a South Indian restaurant in Canada, and Jaya Lakshmi in Kitchener did not disappoint. First off, they have free parking, which is always a plus. The food came out super fast – we got everything within 5 to 8 minutes of ordering. I went with the Mysore Mumbai Masala Dosa based on the server’s suggestion, and it was so flavourful and filling. I also tried the Mango Lassi (not on the menu, but I saw it on Google reviews) – and I’m glad I asked for it! It was really creamy and sweet, just how I like it. We also ordered the Sambhar Mini Idlis – 14 pieces dunked in warm sambhar, and they were honestly so comforting. I ended the meal with their Rava Halwa, which had this unique pineapple twist. It was definitely different – a little too sweet for my liking, but I’d never imagined that combo before, so it was cool to try something new. Also, a special shoutout to the server call button on each table – such a smart touch! No more awkwardly trying to get someone’s attention. If you’re craving some authentic South Indian flavours, this place is 100% worth checking out!!

Saw the place listed on Uber and decided to visit personally since we wanted to try the dosas and what better way to enjoy dosas than in person! We tried the Sambhar Mini Idly and Medu Vada as the starters. The idly was delicious and worth the price. The Medu vada, although tasted good, seemed a tad bit undercooked on the inside. It did seem freshly prepared but the slight wet doughy insides dampened the overall taste. The Andhra Kara Masala Dosa is especially spicy (which the server did warn us about) but didn't seem very tasty. The Chettinadu Chicken Dosa was also underwhelming as the taste of the chicken wasn't close to the Chettinadu style chicken and seemed too bland. Will update the rating if we try the place again and have a better experience with the food. The service was prompt and the servers were knowledgable about the different dishes and they were courteous. In terms of the parking space, the place is in downtown and the parking can be hard to find based on the time of day you visit. There also seems to be additional parking available, you can call the restaurant to find the space and park there.
