Delicious, affordable food + Great service = DOSA – Nothing makes me happier than delicious, affordable food and great service so this is why Dosa is my new favorite restaurant. I went there with a group of friends and Dosa got rave reviews all around. The space is casual and inviting. The hostesses were gracious and seated us promptly. We started off with a round of cocktails. I had the mango one and it was one of the best cocktails that I've ever had. My friends got the lychee ones which were great too. Our server was atte... read more
Great Vegetarian & Vegan Choices – My girlfriend and I are always in conflict about where to eat since I'm vegetarian (I try to be vegan) and she is quite the carnivore. Dosa has always been the perfect choice since it offers so many amazing dishes for both of us. They have an unbelievable choice of salads, which is very unusual for an Indian joint. Their South Indian Mung sprouts has a wonderfully delicious crunch and is fantastically healthy. My girlfriend always get the Prawn Masala and will not deviate from that. They al... read more
Funkiest Indian Restaurant with Best Food – I've been to Dosa about 3 or 4 times now and have always had a great experience. They were even very accomodating when some of my friends got wonderfully tipsy on the deceptively seductive cocktails. The food is to die for and vey, very well spiced and I should know because I grew up in India. I'm always surprised by how knowledgeable their staff is about Indian food considering none of them are. It does get a bit noisy at times but it definitely has great energy. Try the German Re... read more
Awful Management – We had a reservation for 8 people at 9-30 pm on a Saturday night and we reached there promptly at 9-15pm. We got our table EVENTUALLY at 10-40pm when everyone else had finally left. They have no notion of what a reservation means. The seating hostess had nothing to say except that people were refusing to leave after dinner. And the waitress was in so much of a hurry that she kept forgetting our orders and sometimes had to be reminded thrice to get a drink. She was also very impatient. The manager of the ho... read more
Wonderful South Indian food – Dosa is not your typical Indian restaurant-- they primarily serve Indian "snack" foods-- and the food is Delicious! The ambience is hip, though borders on loud. The wait for a table can be painful, but they accept reservations for groups of more than 8. The wine list is pretty good- they have some nice white wines that go with the spciy food.
Best South IndianNay, Best Indian Food in the Bay Area – Phenomenal! Dosas - the food - are served with Sambar - lentil sauce - and chutneys and Dosa - the restaurant - makes the best Sambar Ive ever tasted. I was told that they make the sambar fresh everyday and you can definitely taste it. The spices and flavors are absolutely perfect. They also have the best Rieslings Ive tasted in a long time and the pairings with the spicy food were excellent. I went for the Fred Prinz Riesling Kabinett which had some sweetness and a hi... read more
Very Average South Indian fare – The idli that you get as an appetizer is really poor. It is not soft and fluffy at all, quite disappointing. A friend of mine ordered egg oothappam. In other south Indian restaurants, egg oothappam means that the eggs will be poured on the oothappam while it is half cooked and then it blends in the oothappam and makes it soft and yummy. Here, the oothappam was made seperate and the omelet was placed on the oothappam. It is so not the right thing. Needless, to say he was quite disappointed as ... read more
Worth it's Wait In Gold – I walked into Dosa with high expectations after friends that I grew up with in Fremont kept raving about it. After an impatient 35 minute wait which was alleviated by an excellent glass Gerwurtzaminer I sat down with high expectations. After my first taste, I realized why all my Indian friends love this place. The dosas were excellent and the Pepper Chicken had all the wonderful flavors of a perfectly cooked curry. While I grew up as an Indian in Fremont, I needed affirmation from my dad who grew up... read more
great staff, great food,neat restaurant – We tried to book for Saturday night, we were put in the waiting list and as soon as we arrived the staff accomodated us right away. We didn't have to wait. Great organization. As soon as I walked it the whole restaurant smelled like spices and I felt liked I wanted to sit down and start eating right away. The curry lamb and the prawns were delicious,perfectly cooked. I liked the lentis dumplings,light and full of flavor. The only disappointing part was desserts. I had some fried milk... read more
