Great spot on Fillmore – Recently went to the new location on Fillmore St and I can't say enough great things about this place. Personally, I don't love traditional Indian food. But, Dosa is anything but traditional! Everything we ordered had the most amazing fusion of flavors! My favorite was the persimmon salad!!! My husband and I grabbed a seat at the bar on a busy Sat night...the service was amazing and so were the cocktails. Absolutely gorgeous interior that looks like something out of a Baliwood film. Can't wait to hea... read more
Beautiful Space, Delicious Food & Superior Service – We stopped by late on a Sunday night and were delighted by the food, service and surroundings. The prawn masala with coconut rice0, chicken appetizer & paper dosa were all amazing! We'll be back next time we're in town!
Test passed: Authentic tasting South Indian food! – Went to Dosa with my lovely friend from Kerala and her 11 year old daughter who grew up in India, and both had just returned from a visit back home and were homesick. Impressing them with authentic South Indian Cusine is a tall order but I took the plunge! They were very happy with the fair, and quite impressed with the authentic taste. They concede that is a slight Western twist to the dishes, but they welcomed it. Recommend the Chennai chicken, and th Masala dosas.
Great SOUTH Indian food – I frequent a large number of restaurants in the city, enjoying the diversity of flavors available in this small menagerie of food and cultures. There is a long wait, yes and it can take a bit to get your food, but a lot of the reviews before mine seem to give a sour image to this restaurant. Comparing the prices to what you would pay in India is just ridiculous, two different lifestyles. Yes it's indian food but this is still America, so keep in mind the prices will reflect as much. There is a massi... read more
Brace your taste buds!! – I love indian food and this place made it hard to do so. If you are into using so many spices that you cannot taste the food then go for it! If you order lamb, good luck, cuz your taste buds, after being assaulted by so many spices, will be hard pressed to find the subtle flavors of the meat. If the meat was cheap and I was trying to make something good out of something bad or cheap, then I would say this place excels at that.
Best Southern Indian – This place has the best uttappam I've had since I was in Bangalore. Definitely a nice change of pace from the mostly mediocre Northern Indian restaurants in the city. Very good.
solid indian, limited in a way – this is a good place, especially if you're into vegetarian meals. limited amount of curries, but different types of dosas (duh) which makes it different. probably some of the best dosas i had because the sambers are really good. the curries are really good too, as well as the beer selection which is unique. 2 issues: 1. the rice with curries doesn't taste like basmatti, or it's super overcooked...everytime i've been there it's been like this 2. what's up with requiring a credit card to place ... read more
Too Costly, Less Quantity, Not worth for the money – 1) The People who dont know about the real value of South Indian Food are being cheated in this place. For a masala dosa which is 1.99 bucks in Fremont Udupi Palace or Hyderabadi Biriyani house, they are charging 11 bucks. 2) the name is "south Indian Restaurant", but they play North Indian Songs(Hindi) which is very irritating. 3) The taste is not bad, but the quantity they give for the money we pay is too less. 4) The wait time is more than the time it took to reach the ... read more
Long Wait, Bad Customer Service – I have to say they have good food, but the long wait and they didn't even apologize when they knew exactly they were wrong. I wouldn't get too mad if the person (the guy who sat us after 50mins wait) didn't say some ridiculous word like "I'm sorry for the wrong perception" BTW, they sat another group ahead of us although we already waited for more 45 mins. Just because we ordered food in the bar (well because we were hungry it's already 930pm). That's not a perception, it's real. He should j... read more
