Small portions for the price but the curry made up for it. I’ve had better Indian cuisine but it did the job.

Just be wary that you don’t eat too much here. Not the nicest looking place, but this authentic inexpensive Indian restaurant has great food and you just want to try it all.

Dosa’s were ok(Masala and Mysore). Rava dosa wasnt that great. Sambar could of been more tasty. Overall ok, but not that special

This is a no frills South Indian place but the food is tasty, authentic and super cheap! I like the mutton rolls and the dosas. They used to do a fantastic lunch special thali but unfortunately that is not on offer anymore :( Make sure you get a chai to end your meal.

This is one of my favourite lunch spots. The dosas are consistently excellent and very cheap: £3.50 for a masala dosa. Service is quick and friendly and there’s always a diverse mix of people in there: Sri Lankans, South Indians, medical students and shoppers. Highly rec.

Ohhhhh yes! First time I have tried dosas and we loved them. The food here is really, really tasty. Great flavours. Good menu. Great staff who helped us understand what dishes to order to make a meal. More like a café style place, not a restaurant. Cheap and cheerful! Definitely recommend it!

What an interesting place. I have a feeling if I was South Indian, that I would give this place 5 stars. Service was friendly and quick, but this place is more hole in the wall than fine dining. The food is quite cheap. Dossas for less than £4 is unheard of. I was surprised that my chilli and coriander dossa didn’t have potato filling. I assumed all dossas have that but perhaps I haven’t eaten authentic before? I don’t know. Just that if you happen to be craving South Indian food in the area, give this place a try. It’s off the cuff.

Quick, easy, no fuss southern indian food. Décor is typical canteen style, service can be slow typical of these types of establishments. Many dishes which aren’t on the menu of your local curry house. My tip is to go for the veggie dishes!

Brilliant quick lunch here, drink, veg dosa and idly came to £6. It was fresh and very tasty with a good sized portion. Definitely check this out if you’re nearby.

What a find! Delicious and inexpensive. We’d never been before and were hoping to tap up the waiter for some insider knowledge. However, being polite, he smiled at whatever we ordered. And we ordered quite a lot. We shared a dosa and somosas and a whole host of other fun stuff. To be honest, it all blended into one delicious memory, but I think if you go with an open mind and empty tummy you’re bound to find something you like. I’m sold on Dosa and can’t wait to go back.

Yum-O! What a delightful find. Though my server couldnt understand half the thing I was saying, food far surpeassed my expectations, and was super reasonable. Got the a) Tandoori Chicken(moist and delicious) b) Idli — soft as clouds and delicious hot sambar 3) Rava Masala Dosa — soo crispy and lovely — yum 4) Dessert — Gulab Jamun with masala tea. Granted I have a sweet tooth so this was my absolute fave. I will be back.

Delicious and cheap, you can’t go wrong here. They have a many varieties of dosa, and even the small ones fill you up, most costing £3−4.

Cheap and cheerful. Their dosas are excellent. Crisp, tasty and filling. It’s very workmanlike hard furniture, basic cutlery., but it’s clean and cheap. You can easily get a filling lunch for £5 there of very good quality. Very popular with the students from the nearby hospital and the locals.

Awesome food! Service is great, prices are even better. My food was delicious. The mango lassi was refreshing. I plan to return on my next trip to London.

Dosa ‘N’ Chutny seemed to be attracting loads of South Asian customers so I followed the crowds to this South Indian and Sri Lankan joint. I only intended to pop in for a dosa but seeing how cheap everything was, I went a bit mad and ordered two starters and a main. Oh come on, the samosas only cost £1 and they were homemade. My second starter was the weekend special of tandoori quail(£2.95) and this was a superstar of a dish. Charred on the outside, juicy and succulent inside, and infused with the spices throughout, this quail had been marinated properly and cooked to perfection. I’d forgotten that dishes from the tandoor could taste this good. I don’t know why they gave me cutlery, as this was definitely a job for hands. Quite possibly, one of the best dishes I’ve eaten since I started blogging. For my main, I decided not to go for a dosa and instead went for kothu, a Tamil dish that isn’t all that common in London. I went for the chicken kothu partotha(£4.25), which consists of chopped parotha(aka paratha) with chicken, egg, vegetables and spices cooked on a tawa, a kind of griddle. When asked about the spice level, I mistook the question as a challenge to my masculinity so I demanded hot. With hindsight, this was a mistake as it was slightly too spicy for my liking. It was tasty though and I liked the contrasting textures but it did get samey after a while. This was probably due to the generous portion size and I couldn’t finish it off. Next time, I think I’ll go for the tandoori quail, followed by a dosa.
