Great Place!! – When I go out to eat, I expect to pay a lot for my meal. I also expect to get a lot of food for that money. I'm a bit of a foodie and only want the best. Well, this place did deliver a great meal that I really enjoyed, only the portion was so small that I left feeling hungry still. The price wasn't worth the meal. However, the ambiance is very nice.

DOSA IS HORRIBLE! The food is totally OVERPRICED and OVERRATED! The staff is not seasoned and experienced, and the restaurant is way too noisy. And whatever you do, DON'T EVER host a dinner party there. They have NO IDEA what they're doing. My dinner party was unbelievably EMBARRASSING! It was SO humiliating to arrange and bring a large group into the restaurant only to have Dosa fail me on every level. The food was horrible that night (slapped onto big plates with no garnishes and POOR taste), portions were tiny (i.e. not e... read more

amazing food – The food here is absolutely amazing and everyone should try this place atleast once... i'm sure you'll want to come back. I've heard that there can be a wait, but I went on a Wednesday around 8 and I did not have to wait at all. The staff are really friendly and the service is quick.

A delicious dinner – I loved dinner at Dosa last night! The food is really interesting and delicious. I had the persimmon salad, which was excellent if a bit small, and the Chana Masala dosa. The dosa was large enough to make up for the salad, and the chutneys to slather on it were delicious and just spicy enough to make it fun. Service was very attentive and friendly too. However, the music was turned up a bit too loud around 8:00 PM, and I could hardly hear my dinner date. Still, I would go back in a heartbeat.

Sodium overdose – We were there Saturday evening for dinner. The place was packed. We were happy to find a parking space nearby as we had been told that this is the place for good dosa. Needless to say, we were in for utmost disappointment. The Spring Masala was a form of taco wrapped with little vegetable inside and practically was very soggy. This came with masala (ground cashew nuts) and tomato & fresh coconut chutney and sambar (lentil dipping soup). The chutney is so salty & spicy that we could hardly discern any other ... read more

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.
