Good spot for Indian food and innovative cocktails. The dosa is decent with a breadth of fusion stuffings available. The sambar has got much better. Sample beyond the dosas to truly be delighted.
Jessica RaeSeptember 3, 2013craft a unique cocktail menu unlike any, heavy on Indian spices and flavor profiles, including its own house gin produced by local distiller Old World Spirits: cardamom-rich Blade Gin.
Adena BrenowitzMarch 5, 2019Great Indian fusion! Cocktails are delicious. We ordered brussels, chutney sampler, prawn masala, poori and a dosa. Everything on the menu is unique & tastes great! I recommend making a reservation.
Joanna FlammJanuary 18, 2015The difference between a dosa and a paper dosa? The paper dosa is HUGE! Also, thin and crispy and airy, and the filling comes on the side.
Melissa WJune 11, 2016Dosas and cocktails (esp the Steph curry). I love the chutney. It's actually a great spot to people watch; the bar is super pretty.
Anna JamesAugust 7, 2014Chennai chicken appetizer is tender and has some nice flavors. Mysore masala and paneer dosas are good, sambaar is spicy. Overall good food and a classier place than Udupi Palace.
Leslie BakerNovember 8, 2012I highly recommend the tasting menu. Absolutely the best way to try a variety of their amazing dishes. $35 is a steal and the expert wine pairing is only $18 more. !!!
Nipun SachdevMarch 17, 2015Get the Mysore masala dosa or the Lamb Keema dosa. Both are delicious! Also, if you end up going on a Monday, definitely get the Idly Fries!
Sherri NashJanuary 13, 2016The croquettes are fantastic and share a Dosa and a curry. I he service is great and order the bread for a little drama 👍
Amazing cozy dinner spot with kick-ass South Indian food, and special brunch menu.. much better than the Fillmore branch
If you can handle the heat, get the spicy mango habanero chutney with your dosa. Pay with Cover to easily split the bill and get out quickly!
Kelly 🍰September 22, 2012Ask for a sample of the spicy dosa sauce before you just order it...the amount is too spicy for even this Asian! Dosa dipping sauces are great and easily shared
Gaia di BiaseMay 6, 2019I'm not a big fan of lamb, but here it is really delicious! And I also highly recommend the fish curry. So yummy!! :)
AJ LNovember 12, 2013Order the Pumpkin Dosa. It comes with several dips and soup, a bit on the salty side but really flavorful.
Caro SchieferApril 24, 2017Great and authentic. Take the dosa with habaneros.... Just ask them to serve them aside. Really really hot :)
Loun PhengrasamySeptember 22, 2014Delicious dosas. You should definitely order a dosa when you are here. The food has lots of flavor. Also great service.
hafeez rajiJuly 25, 2011Wow what a great time, dinner with some really close friends, the dishes were great, to complex of names to rattle of, but the DOSA's are a definite must here, peep it. Read more
Jason LeeFebruary 25, 2013The truffle dosa will leave a truffle flavor lingering in your mouth hours after your meal. If this sounds like a bad idea, you should seek professional help.
Showtime NetworkJune 18, 2010A very dear friend introduced me to this amazing Indian spot. He is Indian himself so his recommendation was highly credible! The restaurant is owned by a lovely couple & the food is delicious. - Jill
Eirik StoltzSeptember 26, 2013If you are new to the Southern India cuisine, try the three course tasting menu. Great introduction.- Jessica RaeSeptember 15, 2013Zagat 23. Cost $39. plates that "explode with flavor" (and so much spice you may want "lots of water" handy), all backed by "darn good cocktails";
Alex NorcliffeMarch 16, 2014Try the Vada Pav with a Kingfisher. Especially if like me you've moved from London and miss Dishoom.
Abhilash M JMay 3, 2015The paper masala dosa was worth it !! And I never knew vada pav would be awesome with a beer!!
manu zetaAugust 23, 2013Fantastic food and generous portion, if you are not starving one Dosa can easily shared in two people
Mark EgermanApril 28, 2014The Dosas are obviously the stats, but don't sleep on the creative appetizers. Pay with Cover and dine without the hassle of the check.
Love this place - I got a side of the ghost pepper sauce with mine :)
Sherry Lin-BrownNovember 20, 2010Come here for brunch for a more civilized dining experience than the dinner zoo scene. The same menu plus extra egg dishes!
Great atmosphere and service, as well as amazing food (yes, dosa). Mango lassi is rich enough to qualify as dessert.
Kris Vera-PhillipsMarch 8, 2014Try the White Truffle Masala Dosa - #kvpinmybelly Impressed with white truffle goodness, but a little greasy.
SpoondateDecember 21, 2010For a delectable south Indian food experience guaranteed to please any vegetarian or gluten-intolerant gastronome. Order and share a Dosa. Also try the Dahi Vada.
Luke AndrewsJuly 14, 2013Slightly more upscale than neighboring Udupi Palace in ingredients, drink options, and smaller portion sizes.
Rose AJanuary 21, 2012If this is your 1st time trying a Dosa, I recommend the Paper Masala Dosa. It's crispy and deliciously addictive...
Sibel AkcekayaDecember 16, 2015Everything is Very yummy and most of the food is vegetarian ..great choice
Swaroop HegdeMarch 10, 2012Living in India and in SF for business, I finally got to taste authentic Indian dosa. Try the paper masala. Masala tea was bland though.
Eric AndersenDecember 6, 2012No espresso, but they make French press coffee in this beautiful stainless steel single press
Shweta AgarwalJune 27, 2015Habenaro Mango masala was the best flavor of dosa i have tried! If u can tolerate the heat, its not spicy at all, otherwise avoid it! The chef uttapam moons- were worst thing we ordered! Do not order!
Global ChefFebruary 12, 2012Try the Pan Fried Pork Buns - Pan fried shaozi. Pork for me but they have them Wth veggie too
