Best Dishes at Dosa N Chutny
Masala Dosa
MainsThe Masala Dosa is huge, crisp on the outside, and moist and rice-fragrant on the inside. Reviewers consistently praise the technique—proper fermentation and tempering—that makes this version stand out from basic versions elsewhere. Served with sambar (spicy lentil dip) in the Chennai style and housemade chutneys.
Idly and Vada
MainsTraditional South Indian breakfast items served together. The idly is fluffy and light, the vada is perfectly fried golden brown and crispy. Paired with sambar and multiple housemade chutneys including coconut, chilli, and coriander-mint varieties that are consistently mentioned as stand-outs.
Onion Rava Dosa
MainsA lighter alternative to the potato-filled masala dosa. Made with semolina (rava) instead of rice flour, it's extra crispy and delicate. The onion and chilli provide sharp flavour contrast. Reviewers specifically recommend this alongside the masala dosa for variety.
Gobi Manchurian
StartersCrispy cauliflower florets fried and tossed with a Manchurian-style sauce featuring soy, ginger, and chillies. It's a popular non-dosa starter that reviewers mention frequently. Spicy and savory with textural contrast between crispy florets and sticky sauce.
Chicken Lollipop
StartersA popular starter that breaks up the vegetarian options. Pieces of chicken thigh are marinated in spices, then fried until the exterior is crispy. Multiple reviewers call it perfectly spiced and juicy. Often ordered as an appetizer with dosas as mains.
