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
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
