Pathertic south indian food – This place is sad-the food was very bland and NOT authentic at all (Cheddar cheese in a dosa? I don't think so.) The service was slow and unattentive. I don't know why this place is rated so highly rated. I cannot recommend this place at all-it was way too expensive for what you get.

Excellent South Indian Spot – Great Food and fairly priced. The Chicken Khari was excellent....perfect amount of spice and flavor. The Masala Dosa was good....nice and crispy. I reccommend the one with the fresh vegetables. Great wine list and friendly staff. The hostess was very accommodating and on top of things. I would definitely go back. The only real issue I had was the amount of space between tables. The back of my chair was hitting up against the person behind me....it is a tight squeeze.

A keeper – I live in New York where there are so many GREAT restaurants and I was blown away by the food, staff and comforting ambiance. Definitely a fantastic restaurant and will remain high on my list of places I need to come back to over and over again. Any chance you'll open one up over here??? I need my DOSA!!!

overpriced and bland – Very disappointed at the bland food which was expensive. Seeing the 9.6 rating is misleading- no where close to that. if your craving south indian food, go elsewhere.

finally south indian in the city! – great location, friendly and helpful staff. Food was excellent and authentic...even though at times is was low on the spice, I think they pitched it just right for the majority palate. All in all a wonderful experience and it saves me from having to go down south for my south indian fix.

DOSA is the real deal – Our party consisted of 4 and we walked in on a cold San Francisco night to a warm and inviting space. Dosa has picked a beautiful color and lighting scheme that instantly warmed our hearts and the hint of curry and other goodies made our mouths start to water. The hostess was very accommodating and we enjoyed a glass of Pinot Blanc at the bar while our table was set. The wait staff worked in unison to deliver the Southern Indian treats quickly but with proper spacing so we could anticipate the next co... read more

Delectable food and scrumptious drinks – It's wonderful to have a neighborhood Indian restaurant where you can go and enjoy the food *and* atmosphere. I loved the Masala dosa and the lychee soju was exceptional. The service was great and I love the fact that there's a parking garage right around the corner. This is a must try !

Authentic food wrapped in Mission hipness – We brought a friend who is from Bombay here, and he said the food was 'excellent'. I have had my fair share of dosas and idli in India myself and had to say the quality and presentation were out of this world. I'm used to eating Indian in more 'down home' settings, ie metal trays in very boring settings. Dosa gets it right for the Mission hipsters - the lighting and decor is right on. Also the prices are decent - I think my dosa was $7. Will go again and recommend to friends
