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

Our waiter did not pay attention to us. and it was so loud. i would still perfer rasoi for the most exotic, exquisit cuisine. p.s i've tasted way better food then this

Authenticity with a twist – I've been eating dosai since my first baby teeth came in, so I went in quite skeptically, but left eating out of Dosa's palm. The room is minimally decorated, but warm and inviting. My mother and father ordered the Rasam, which was prepared perfectly and served with a side of papadum. I gave our enchanting waitress the 5th degree about the difference between a Masala Uttapam and a Dosa Masala, which she answered expertly, making them both sound more delicious in the process, (maybe she was indian?... read more

Dosa Me Now! – Dosa is phenominal! Theres a reason its in the top 100 restuarants amongst thousands in San Francisco. From the hostess kindly calling my cell phone when my table was ready as my party had a beer down the street at Amnesia because Dosa was absolutely slammed on a Tuesday night, to the waiter guiding us through the menu and personally making food and wine recommendations that were extremely helpful for a mix group of Indian food lovers with one common goal of eatting amazing food. The Tamil Lamb Curry and the P... read more

More than tandoori?!! At DOSA there is... – I have been a lover of fine Indian cuisine for several years, and I must say that the menu at DOSA is refreshing! If your palette is at all discerning, I recommend you make reservations and invite your family and friends to enjoy a memorable night of familiar ingredients cooked the South Indian way. The atmosphere in DOSA is altogether warm. It begins with the owners, who are a married couple sharing the load, and the love, of seeing their dream of owning a restaurant actually come... read more

Welcome South Indian Food! – Dosa is a trendsetter in the San Francisco culinary scene. Where else can you find authentic south Indian food? This restaurant has blessed the Mission district with a new flavor and flare. Very exciting! You have to try the Chennai Chicken and the Masala Dosa - both amazing! And check out their impressive wine selections - mmmm, a glass of Viognier to compliment the meal. Nice work Dosa!

these dosas pass the street-cred test – As a hardened south indian dosa eater, i found the dosa consistency great - including the uncracked paper dosa. the rassam is extraordinary as is the chennai chicken gravy. you can get most stuffy made spicy enough for a range of tastes, including the roaring keralite type. good range of food even for newcomers to south indian food.

Finally, an indian restaurant in the city! – I love this place. I just moved here and have been searching for fabulous south indian cuisine at a good price- this place not only delivers that, but provides a fantastic ambience in a great location. I didn't have a reservation and showed up with a party of 13- the owners accomodated us and provided excellent food and service with a smile. I have recommended this new find to all my friends and will continue to do so. The dosas are incredible!
