Amazing food, service & prices! – Everything was impeccable - food, service, recommendations, wine/beer/cocktails, and the final bill. The staff and owner are extremely helpful with making recommendations and planning your meal. All dishes were so well balanced, flavorful and perfectly cooked. Dessert was perfect, taming down the often spicy dishes. Dosa is fabulous for groups as everything is very 'sharing' oriented. And the final bill... wow. Bottled waters, beer, several dishes, desserts, and it still came to less than $2... read more

From the mouth of a REAL south Indian!!!! – BRAVO!!!!! My children treated me for a wonderful b'day dinner at Dosa back in december. Coming from Bangalore India, I have to say Dosa has the best south Indian cuisine. I loved the masala dosa, the sambar and chutney tasted very authentic ( better than my own!). ... got to taste pepper chicken, shrimp curry and lamb. Deeelicious!!! Being 53 the noice level was a bit much for me ....but that didn't stop me from going back again. this time it was a treat from one of my sons for mo... read more

Excellent food and excellent service – My friend and I decided to try Dosa on a Thursday night. When we arrived the hostess took down our name and told us that we could have a seat at the bar. When we approached the bar and there were no seats available. The hostess took notice immediately and walked us around the bar. She had two chairs brought over for us to sit on. We immediately noticed the simple, yet elegant decor. The owner came up to us and introduced himself and we were seated within a few moments. We ordered calama... read more

7 things to love about DOSA – 7. The most fragrant and incredible sambar known this side of the Bay. 6. Unique decore that is warm and infusing. 5. Crisp, full and appropriate wine selections. 4. Classy and charming waitresses who aren't afraid to take command of the menu to help out new-comers.. (Especially the little indian(?) one! I've never had such a satisfying meal recommendation) 3. LAMB. CURRY. 2. SPRING. DOSA. 1. Authenticity.

Yes! Bring on the Spices and Wine!! – I had been to Dosa in its second week of existence and had thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I returned about 4 months later after traveling and realized that they had improved everything to yet another level of excellence. The sambar (lentil dipping soup) was by far the best I have tasted. It had a kick that surprised me and yet drew me in for more. The channa bhatura was the most exquisite guilty pleasure I have allowed myself in recent memory. Being primarily a red wine drinker, I re... read more

Tastes like the better Malabar version – The South indian food that i ate in Dosa restaurant was better than the ones I tasted in any south indian restaurants in USA or the actual Tamilnadu. It tastes similar to the better "Malabar" version of the tamilnadu food. Malabar is the upper portion of the state of Kerala . People of malabar have redefined & refined food from all parts of india and made it taste better and non-oily. They also inherited some food from the Portugese,French and 5 Arab countries whom they had trade link... read more

Overpriced South Indian Food – The best thing about Indian foods and spices is the multi-dimensional blending of tastes and spices. Everything we had at Dosa was one-dimensional. The green chile & coriander uttapam was spicy (which I like), but the spiciness overpowered everything else, and covered up the bland uttapam. The Masala Dosa was huge, but there was hardly enough filling masala, which was very bland. The The Russian soju was poorly mixed for $8. This was my first dosa experience and I was disappointed. Dosa's decor... read more

The Complete Dining Experience – Dosa is not only my favorite Indian restaurant it's one my favorite restaurants across the Bay Area. Growing up with this food at home, Dosa provides a dining experience par excellence. The prices are very reasonable for a SF restaurant, the wine pairings for this style of cuisine is nothing I've ever seen before, the ambiance is chic yet very comfortable and the service is considerate and efficient. All-in-all a quintessential SF experience!! The curries (lamb, prawans & chicken) are masterf... read more
