I loved dinner at Dosa last night! The food is really interesting and delicious. I had the persimmon salad, which was excellent if a bit small, and the Chana Masala dosa. The dosa was large enough to make up for the salad, and the chutneys to slather on it were delicious and just spicy enough to make it fun. Service was very attentive and friendly too. However, the music was turned up a bit too loud around 8:00 PM, and I could hardly hear my dinner date. Still, I would go back in a heartbeat. Pros: Excellent flavors, reasonable prices and servings Cons: Too loud after 8:00

We were there Saturday evening for dinner. The place was packed. We were happy to find a parking space nearby as we had been told that this is the place for good dosa. Needless to say, we were in for utmost disappointment. The Spring Masala was a form of taco wrapped with little vegetable inside and practically was very soggy. This came with masala (ground cashew nuts) and tomato & fresh coconut chutney and sambar (lentil dipping soup). The chutney is so salty & spicy that we could hardly discern any other flavor. The same goes for the sambar. The Paper Masala is a large crepe that was served rolled up on a plate with a small bowl of creamy spiced potatoes, masala, and chutney. The crepe is fairly crispy, but it is also salty as well as the creamy spiced potatoes. We can not understand how this restaurant gets such good review. Is this the one time that the cook heavy-handed with the salt or is this the normal practice? The amount of sodium in these dishes is a thousand times more than daily recommended amount for healthy eating. Cons: one of worst meal

If your in the mood for something different then the ordinary then try Dosa's. The jumbo shrimp Marsala is amazing and you have to stay and have and coconut ice cream for desert.

Recently went to the new location on Fillmore St and I can't say enough great things about this place. Personally, I don't love traditional Indian food. But, Dosa is anything but traditional! Everything we ordered had the most amazing fusion of flavors! My favorite was the persimmon salad!!! My husband and I grabbed a seat at the bar on a busy Sat night...the service was amazing and so were the cocktails. Absolutely gorgeous interior that looks like something out of a Baliwood film. Can't wait to head back with friends!

Had to wait for 1-1/4 hours before i could get a table. This was on a Sat night. But it was totally worth the wait. This is likely the best South Indian food i have had outside of my home state in India. Strongly recommend it! They have recently opened a second place - check out www.dosasf.c om

Went to Dosa with my lovely friend from Kerala and her 11 year old daughter who grew up in India, and both had just returned from a visit back home and were homesick. Impressing them with authentic South Indian Cusine is a tall order but I took the plunge! They were very happy with the fair, and quite impressed with the authentic taste. They concede that is a slight Western twist to the dishes, but they welcomed it. Recommend the Chennai chicken, and th Masala dosas. Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance Cons: Intimidating menu - I had a guide! No way to get in on a Friday or Saturday! come early!

I frequent a large number of restaurants in the city, enjoying the diversity of flavors available in this small menagerie of food and cultures. There is a long wait, yes and it can take a bit to get your food, but a lot of the reviews before mine seem to give a sour image to this restaurant. Comparing the prices to what you would pay in India is just ridiculous, two different lifestyles. Yes it's indian food but this is still America, so keep in mind the prices will reflect as much. There is a massive amount of diversity in the tastes, ordering several dishes is recommended so you can get as many tastes as possible. Do yourself a favor and go check it out for yourself. Just go early, the wait can get you. Pros: great food and awesome bar!! Cons: the wait and the snotty staff

I love indian food and this place made it hard to do so. If you are into using so many spices that you cannot taste the food then go for it! If you order lamb, good luck, cuz your taste buds, after being assaulted by so many spices, will be hard pressed to find the subtle flavors of the meat. If the meat was cheap and I was trying to make something good out of something bad or cheap, then I would say this place excels at that. Pros: bar manager is great!!! and cute!! Cons: the servers are stuck up mission hipsters who are unfriendly
