Never in my life have I had a waiter discourage me to order an appetizer while we are putting in the orders because we didnt tell him the appetizer first. (Note this is all while hes taking the same set of orders). If there is a system in place, he should have explained it to us first. The service here is sub par.
Delicious food, but slow service (waited around 30 min to place our order in a practically empty restaurant) and small curry portions.
Awesome place. Had two starters, one with okra, and one with chickpeas. Both were awesome. Dosas were also great. Will be back.
Great Indian restaurant in the heart of Brooklyn. The food was delicious. Fresh ingredients. Authentic Indian cuisine.
The food is delicious but the prices have gotten out of control recently. You can see old photos from the menu where some dishes have gone up by as much as 50% in price just in a year and a half. Tasty food but can only have it once in a while due to costs these days.
Great place to grab a dosa and a beer. They serve excellent South Indian food. The food is not that spicy, but all are fresh!!!
Plates cleaned. Lassi no more. Missing mushroom dishes. Mega family dosa!!!! Weak sides
Found a COCKROACH crushed against the inside of the glass of water the waiter handed to me. If you want a free side of locally sourced insect meat with your curries and dosas come here, otherwise steer clear. Disgusting.
Service was courteous, wait was minimal, and food was excellent. True traditional style dosa, and the gulab jamun was top notch.
👎🏼🤮 This isnt Indian food. Its just some chef pretending to make Indian food. The Idli was salty and rubbery. Idlis are supposed to be light and fluffy. Takes a real genius to mess up this dish. The vada was dense, salty, and lacked any kind of flavor. Vadas are meant to be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The Dosa, which I presume was made from the same batter was another salty mess. The sambar was the only saving grace here and the chutneys, especially the red one, well I dont know what you call that! Theres nothing Royale about this restaurant.
I had the masala dosa there and given the amount options for Dosa in the area it was okay however I wont be going back due to the service, felt very unwelcoming while I was there.
Amazing dosas. Server was very nice and was attentive of our allergies!
I was so ready to love this place! It is cute inside and there are so many dosa options, plus it is reasonably priced. I came here for early dinner, ordered, ate and couldn’t finish all of my food. After waiting several minutes, the waiter didn’t check on me, so I had to get them and ask for a container. I took my food home and ate a second dinner later that night.After warming all of my food in their original containers, I went to dip the dosa in the curry sauce with all the carrots and veggie goodness. When I took a bite, there was something hairy and chewy in it. I pulled it out and it was part of a scrubbing sponge. Surely it was not a new one and I am horrified that I found it in my food.While cute and likely the other food is delicious, I won’t be returning to risk other physical contamination in my food.
Terrible and rude customer service. Didnt send half my order. Completely uninterested in fixing it. This has now happened twice - will never order again and would suggest everyone steer clear.
Don’t go there for the dine in. Everyone order from online then pick it up.Because they don’t know how behave with coustomer.
I had the rawa masala dosa which tasted good, but the dosa consistency was not that great, was crumbly for the most part. Their online menus incorrectly list the thali which they dont offer, which is what I had intended to get.
Went there for dine in. Dosa was delicious but other dishes were okay. Unnecessarily expensive. Paid like 12 dollars for Samosa Chat and got just one samosa in it and very small portion.Wouldn’t go back there.
The dosa was finished by the time the camera openedLove this placePerfect dosa perfect chutney perfect sambarWill come here Everytime I visit Brooklyn
They have service to bad cool food no nice to talk to me I said thank you he will tell me your language I don’t know what is that
HORRIBLE. Restaurant blatantly lies. 2 hours and counting and food arrived super cold. Parts of orders missing.WILL NEVER ORDER HERE AGAIN.
I got the sweet potato dosa. It was very good and came out quickly. The interior is very basic with no decorations. Nobody was wearing a mask or asked me for my vaccine card when I dined indoors.
I really like their food it did not disappoint at all..service not bad but could be better... bathrooms disgusting
Delicious food at reasonable prices. The dosa portions are more than filling and perfect to share. I also loved the Chaat samosa. The flavors remain distinct despite the heavy seasoning. Id like to try their curries another time.
Rude staff, messed up order, and foreign object in foodCalled ahead to place and pick up a simple order - the man at the phone was very rude and sarcastic. When I reached home and realized that half of the order they had given me (and billed me correctly for) was incorrect, I called up and the same rude man answered and didnt seem to believe me or have the patience for me to send him an image of the mistake. Once the image went through, they refused to fix the order, but said they would refund the whole amount. They only refunded half.After the whole ordeal was over and we decided to eat the food we were given anyway we found some sort of plastic in the dosa. Didnt bother calling back. Super disappointed.
Food is excellent. However we ordered from Caviar and the dosa - the main part of our meal - was left out of the order. When I called to ask if they could deliver the missing item, I was told I’d have to ask for a refund, reorder and wait the 50 min Caviar delivery time. Seems like a courtesy could have been extended given half our meal was left out of the bag.
They served my food in take out containersHorrible serviceWill not recommend
The dosas are so delicious here! Super hearty, flavourful and super authentic to how they taste back home in India. I felt like the vada was a bit too dense, but chutneys and sambar were delicious. 💜💜
We placed an order for delivery on a Monday night. Our food came more than two hours later and was ice cold. The person who picked up the phone when we called to ask about our 2 hour delivery was pretty rude. When we eventually got our food we were so hungry that we ate it cold and it was pretty good. I would like to give them another try since I am new to the neighborhood and love Indian food but if I’m gonna be honest, this was not the best first impression.
Great South Indian dishes, including unusual ones like mirchi bajii.
I tried Masala Dosa, Onion Rava Dosa, and Uttapam. All were very good, definitely give the place a try
I’m not sure what was going on with this place today, but it definitely wasn’t their best. Placed our order a little after 7 and didn’t get it until 9:15. Curry was lukewarm, dosa was cold, naan was cold and tough.We had actually gone by earlier to eat in person and found the wait staff to be pretty frosty (it was drizzly so we didn’t opt for the outdoor seats), but we gave them a second shot with dinner delivery.I may give them another try yet, but I’m not getting my hopes up. If the food had arrived sooner and had been hot (or even warm for that matter), I’m sure it would have been pretty good.
So good, and affordable. Left here feeling very satisfied. Their curries are excellent and dosas came out crisp and hot. Lots of vegetarian friendly options which I appreciate. For $10 the amount of food you get is wonderful considering NYC standards.
I wanted so much to enjoy my experience here but after 10min of waiting to be served they didn’t have what I ordered. Also at a closer look, not the most sanitary establishment unfortunately. I would not recommend you eat here.
Don’t go overthere.There is two staff working in front side.They don’t know how to behave with the coustomer.
What time is your last order? The restaurant closing timings are shown as 10pm/11pm yet when I arrived by 9:30pm yesterday (Tuesday) I was told the kitchen is shut?Revise your timings properly. Don’t tell customers you close at 10pm when you stop taking orders a half hour before
Authentic dosa, good food. Criminally underrated
Clanging from 5 stars to 3 because the delivery is just so inconsistent and so often delayed- its a shame because the food is really good, and as authentic you are going to get for South Indian food. I think some of the problem is the delivery apps, giving you an initial estimate, then increasing the time, but the restaurant shouldnt give an estimate, then actually get the food ready an HOUR later. Its too much.
Yesterday I was there I eat something that service is bad they were talking too bad customer service very poor
Uttapam dosa is very tasty and filling! Korma is out of this world!
Last night was our first time in this excellent restaurant. But It is no doubt not the last time. We passed a splendid evening with the good service, with the high quality dishes and booze and with the modest price. We will absolutely return there soon.
This used to be a decent place, but both the service and the food quality have deteriorated significantly over time. The serving lady is often rude. This time she started stuffing our tables with the main course, when the table had no room left and we were clearly still working on the starters. The food is bland and no longer tastes authentic, which it used to a couple of years back. The place requires customers to pay only in cash. The ATM inside the restaurant used to be free but now requires customers to pay a transaction fee. I will not visit them again.
Amazing Indian comfort food. I especially love the tandoori chicken and lemon rice with or without egg. Very mild for those who like the flavor without so much heat. So good! Cash only but they have an ATM in the back.
Best Idli outside of India. Missed The taste dearly. I have been looking for Idli in different countries and cities and found it here! A traditional breakfast from street food to restaurants to home made goodies, one can only imagine the best morning treat in South India. And at Dosa Royale, the fresh, soft, tasteful rice cake is just exactly the SAME as in my memory. Amazed, satisfied. Will def come back.
The service was ok. I felt bad for the server. He was juggling a full house along with a phone that would not stop ringing for to go orders (the ringing was really annoying). The family dosa that we ordered was good, but the chicken korma had no taste and the chicken was not tender. The other dishes our party ordered were average. I will not go back.
The Dosa Royal family style is pretty good. Its vegetarian friendly but also has meat options for those who need meat. The royal (family size) is big enough for 2-3 people to share. Service is friendly enough.
Their chettinad curry is the best curry Ive ever had. Superior samosas as well. Food is always ready by the time I walk there.
If i could give this place less than 1 star i would. Never ordering from here again!! Food over 2 hrs late, they obviously unplugged their phone to avoid complaints. Terrible service! And their food is mediocre at best. Such a waste of time. NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE THEY ARE THE WORST!! So many better options in nyc
Ordered delivery and was extremely underwhelmed. Totally overpriced and, like the Borscht Belt joke, mediocre food and such small portions too! Perhaps its better to dine in but we will never order from Dosa Royale again.
WOW! This is a hidden gem on the side streets of Brooklyn. One of The Best Indian spots I have ever eaten at! The food felt home cooked and extremly tasty. The Dosa Royal is extremly popular and huge and filling. The butter chicken and Cauliflower was very tasteful. They serve home made chapati, simply amazing! I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!!!!!!!!P.S. This is a cash only place
Food is okay so I may come back but only for delivery. Was there to dine-in Saturday night and the service was so bad: no one greeted us when we walked in. A staff member was seated low behind the counter, and we had to walk to the back of the restaurant to ask her for a table. A diner dropped a fork and no one helped her pick it up. They’re cash only yet they don’t have change to make change (awkward). And there’s no door to the kitchen, so the front house staff stand around joking and laughing loudly with kitchen staff. With so many options in the neighborhood I’m surprised they think they can get away with such poor service.
Do not order delivery from this place. The wait times on the apps are not accurate. Currently waiting 2 hrs for food for 2 ppl. The restaurants phone is disconnected as well. What kind of establishment is this?
The Does dishes are good. All portions are on the small side, which would be fine if the food was a bit more sophisticated, and there was ambiance. Portions of a $60+ restaurant but prices, cooking, and decor of a $10+ restaurant.
I always enjoy the food at Dosa Royale. However, on this visit the service was terrible. I arrived at 3:35PM and was told that the lunch special, that ends at 4PM wasnt available and I had to order from the regular menu. At the conclusion of my meal, I received the wrong change back from the waiter. When I attempted to correct the waiter, who clearly doesnt yet understand US money, he apologized but would not give me anymore money! He kept saying that his co-worker had told him what each of the bills were worth and he couldnt do anything for me. I will not return to this location.
If you want classic South Indian dishes with good balance of flavors youre better off heading elsewhere like Mid-town or Jackson Heights. This little Ft. Greene spot was about what youd expect for the neighborhood.. They have a few interesting veg-friendly fusion dishes on the menu. Otherwise its mostly dosas for people who plan poorly / dont know any better.
We recently visited Dosa Royale for a birthday dinner celebration. We were warmly greeted. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was authentic and delicious. The portions were good and our group of eight left feeling full. Our favorite dishes were the Shrimp Kolumbu, Tamarind Rice (w/fried egg), Onion Rava Dosa, and the mango lassi. We highly recommend this restaurant.
CASH ONLY!!!! Know this ahead of time. There is a cash machine on the premises. Very good food. Decent portion for the price. Dont worry if the dining room seems empty as you walk in. There is a chill patio in the back; thats probably where most patrons are.
Awesome south Indian fare! Dosas, idly, vada, poori bhaji are all a must try. Fairly priced. Always ordered in, they are pretty prompt on the delivery time, sometimes got the food even earlier. Must try and will be ordering again for sure!
They added an extra $2 to my credit card charge. I have the receipt too. Silly amount to fight over but not okay! Just over $20 on a meal for one. One dish with a side of bread. It was luke warm and came out so quickly it couldnt have possibly been fresh. I get its hard times which is why I was originally ordered despite the high price ($18).
Only been here once but the curry and dosa were phenomenal! Im really sad I didnt get to bring my cousins Indian gf while they were in town. Definitely going back this week!
Don’t there. They have rude staff.They don’t know how behave with coustomer.
The ambiance at this place is truly charming with the lighting and contrasting colours. The menu is small with items from a few categories and I suggest you pick the South Indian breakfast cuisines.A fitting restaurant for a casual dine!
This is the best indian restaurant in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill. The quality of the dishes is outstanding and every meal is better than the last. The dosas, butter chicken, spinach curry, and samosa chaat are my personal favorites. This is one of those places where you want to try everything on the menu. Ive never been disappointed. Delivery or dine-in, doesnt matter, always good.
Great dosa, decent food overall
Don’t go there. Because they have very rude staff.
Less portion and not very clean. Service was weird too. But, dosa was good.
Contented and bored, the server, the service and the restaurant itself dishes out absolutely poor quality fare, a substandard vibe and pathetically sloth-like energy. Give energy get energy. This place has become the usual Indian restaurant with no life.
Wow, their dosas are incredible, and they have special cooking processes for each ingredient in their dosa! for example, the carrots are cooked twice to make them fall apart in your mouth 💕.
Was looking forward to trying this lovely looking spot out while safely maintaining social distancing. My husband ordered our food inside, the gentlemen inside wasnt wearing a mask, but he thought he would be putting one on. When he came outside to bring us water he was not wearing a mask. I was stunned because every other establishment I have been to has observed precautions like wearing gloves and masks and using single use cups. When I asked if he would be wearing a mask our server was so flippant as if it was such a hassle. He said I already told him were out of masks. I dont know which him he had told this to but it was not my husband. What was even more off-putting than him not wearing a mask was the dismissive tone in which he told us that he wasnt going to wear a mask and thats just the way it is. As if his actions were not an active choice. I know that leaving ones home brings inherent risks, but Ive been rocking a mask and gloves or dousing myself in hand sanitizer to help do my part. I am not interested in supporting anything less than the same.
The food is ok, but the cocktails that online sites claimed they supposedly served were a mirage. They do have a (very) few beer selections (but they were out of Brooklyn Lager, in Brooklyn!). Our waitress knew very little English, which created issues such as missed orders and lack of communication. Luckily someone else was fluent, but please, how can someone wait on tables when they dont know what the customers are asking for ?
We ordered chana saag, lamb korma, and chaat. Everything was tasty except the lamb was tough as leather. Bit disappointing as it’s a premium price.
I love having this authentic southern Indian restaurant on my doorstep and enjoy going back. Order a few things to get the full range of sauces. Samosas a real treat.
Ordered chicken korma, uttapam, a masala dosa, and a side of rice. The chicken korma was heaven, though it was a little frustrating paying $10 for a side of plain basmati rice. The uttapam was good but the masala dosa was so chewy/tough I couldnt rip through it with my teeth. Bummer.
The curries and rice here are amazing: very fresh and well-spiced. It is not just dosas here: try the curries. Worth every penny to get Indian food that is this good. Best in the neighborhood in my opinion.
I have been craving idli at work since so long finally found my new obsession. I ordered the idli and the samosa chat and they both turned out better than I expected. The samosa chat is not like the other ones Ive had here before and theirs is perfect. Cant wait to try the other items on the menu. So happy this exists in Brooklyn !! South Indian me is super Happy :)
The people that work there are very friendly and down to earth. They treat the store like its their home and are very loving people. I had a great time eating there with my schools cricket team.
Authentic food .. nice outdoor seating . The servers were nice .. tables could have been cleaned from time to time .
There were 5 pieces of baby eggplant for my $12 entree and they didnt even cook the flavor into the eggplant. Ordered an additional entree for a proper meal, the spinach and paneer dosa. The spinach was sour. The little bit of paneer was shredded, which I wasnt expecting. The crispy parts of the dosa bread were good and the paratha but definitely not worth the $36 I ended up spending. Never going back.
Ive been here quite a few times and the food is delicious. However, recently I noticed that this place got a C in sanitary inspection! So go there at your own risk. Personally, I didnt sick after eating here.
Such a sweet place, they have given trendy names for few food items and that catches your attention, I tried their CAULIFLOWER LASUNI which was amazing, this place has a good varieties of dosa. Worth a try.PS: they don’t accept credit/debit cards, carry enough cash or withdraw from the in-house atm.
Overall very good experience with me and my family. They really hit home with good tasting south Indian food. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great tasting tarditonal south Indian food.
Not your typical Indian fare (e.g., chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, naan). The many dosa dishes with the dipping sauces are tasty, enormous, and satisfying. Always, always, always get a dosa. However, I am often disappointed with their other entrees. While the rice dishes are tasty, the portion sizes are lacking. We ordered another rice dish thinking that they would improve after relocating from Carroll Gardens to Fort Greene, but again we were disappointed. From now on, were only ordering dosas.
Excellent mix of dosas and drinks. (Great for vegetarians too). Went on a Saturday night and was packed (as most places are). Best Indian food in Brooklyn by far. Highly recommend it.
This place probably is only for dosas - which is very oily/greasy too. We tried vada - soaking in oil. And eggplant kulambu - very very oily. Stomach didnt feel very good. Hopefully they dont reuse used oil, you never know 😓PS. Beware: Cash only place. They have their own ATM though but your bank may charge you per transaction.
Had dosa for the first time in my life a few weeks back and Ive been craving it ever since. Not sure of all dosa is this good but this spot has amazing dosa.
We arrived there just before the kitchen closed, so the place was pretty empty. The food was good, but I was really hungry so that could have impacted my perception. Not a beautiful place but reasonably comfortable.
Food was great, service was terrible.
Great place to take people who like spicy food, whether or not they have dietary restrictions. The sweet cauliflower appetizer and Kadai curry are particularly good.
Very tasty curry dish with chicken and fairly standard basmati rice. I did not try the doeas but I am sure they are good judging from the fairly steady flow of customers.
2021: doordash says 38 minutes for delivery that changed to ~90 immediately when the payment has gone through with no cancel option - that’s just nasty way to make business folks, I’m so done with you!Edit 2020: why no masks?! :((2019:The Rava dosa is excellent!
Not dependable. Delivery always take an hour to 90 minutes (even when the app says 35 minutes). Even for takeout they are always late and food is never ready when they say it is.
There’s much to be desired in Dosa Royale’s speciality menu of South Indian cuisine... but sadly the food turned out to be underwhelming.Service was great though.
Huge dosas and very delicious !
Authentic south Indian food. Best poori/bhaji and masala dosa in Brooklyn.
It doesnt serve the most authentic South Indian cuisine. The sides of chutney & sambhar were below average. Also its over priced for what it is serving.
I simply loved their food. I always get good service here. The place is always clean and the employees are always super friendly. Would recommend to others.
Everything was delicious. Weve been looking for a great dosa place. Bonus that they also serve beer.
Only had take-out and stuck to the curries so far but all have been totally delicious - best Indian food we’ve had in a long time.
Excellent dosas and curry. Was glad to see that they offer samosa chaat as an appetizer. They also have a spacious back yard.
Dosa was good, vegetarian curries were also ok but you can find better.
Really nice menu with a good mix of options, some staples and some unique stuff. Not enough places have Dosas and these are good. Not the cheapest place but very very good and not as oily as some Indian.
One of my favourite restaurants in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill. A lovely place with cute decor/nice outdoor space, kind staff, and veeeeeery yummy food. Highly recommend!
Small place, great dosa. Chai tea is strong. Poori is my favorite.
Had a really great time here! The food was awesome and the service was amazing. Very affordable too. Would highly recommend.
Food is good but dont expect the place to open at 11. No one picks up even though its close to noon.
Absolutely delicious food options! Would have gotten 5 stars, but I felt the wait time was a bit long given we were the only group of people in the restaurant.
This place used to have good food but their quality has gone way down. No spice! No flavor! Undercooked Idly! Very disappointed and will not return.
ATM IS NOT WORKING AND CASH ONLY... sooo you should go outside and get cash.
Great food, but mask-wearing was kind of lax and the outdoor tables were a little too close for comfort.
Food is 6/10 (generally good) but everything is overpriced. They need to bring prices down by 20%.
Authentic Indian dosa. Tastes same as you would eat one at Tamil Nadu in India. Enjoyed the dosa exactly the way i would in india.
This place is awesome. the food was great both times Ive been and the service is excellent and made me and my friend feel A+. I will definitely be going back
Solid dosa if you dont wanna drive to queens or jersey
Its hard to find dosas in NYC but their food is below average and their sauces are so bland. Another super annoying thing about them is that they are cash only.
Fresh dosas. Good dipping sauces. Refreshing lemonade/cucumber drink. The cauliflower appetizer was old and too hard.
Great to have a South Indian restaurant in the neighborhood. The food is very good and fresh. I hope it continues for a long time
It’s been 2 hours, still no food. I’ve called the restaurant for an update and the phone just rings for ages then beeps and goes dead. DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY FROM HERE.
Employe behavior is very bad..
Food is pretty good, but atmosphere and service could be better for what youre paying. Minus one star for being cash only as well.
Take out is great. feels very authentic … the chicken Korma is good. sometimes a bit watery though
Great food! Wish they had more wait staff.
This is the worst south indian place i have ever went to. Food was payhetic and services too. they also charged 20% tip on top of it. Be careful once you decide to go there.
Great place and excellent south Indian food. We had dosa and curry, both was delicious!
Really excellent dosas and at moderate prices. I always go there for lunch, but i know there is a happy hour for beers.
Best dosa
Amazing food and staff
Great food, arrived about 10 min early and was still hot
Nice groove, but food is ok ok, dosa was nice but sambar and masala wasnt very good..
Delicious food. Almost the best South Indian taste in New York I would say if Im not exaggerating.
Love this place! Their dosas are the best (go there and eat them warm!), and their staff is so kind.
Very good authentic south Indian food. Dosa was great!
Would certainly recommend trying this spot. Excellent mood, yummy food, awesome service. Great work.
Finally some great Indian food near me. Delicious.
The worst quality of food and service. Never ever going back again. They dont even accept the cards, its only cash.
Dosa is hard to come by, even in a city like NYC. Definitely worth it if you like Indian and youre looking for a change of pace.
The food was great, its way overpriced and the service is very slow, we were the only people there and it took 30 minutes to get our food.
Good food and quick service. But please accept credit cards.....this is 2019 !!! And not 1979
Cash only restaurant. ATM inside the restaurant. But extra charges are applied. Great food.
I cant believe I didnt know this place existed! Finally good Indian food in Bklyn!!
Service is terrible. Ordered food to a wrong address byMistake as my phone auto corrected the address, called to cancel the order was told I cant do it.
Excellent Masala dosa, poori masala and masala chai. Excellent price and service.
Awesome place! Loved the dosas and especially the ones with gunpowder in it ;)
Good food but delivery can be slow at times and a bit overpriced for how much food you get.
Food is amazing. Service is okay
Make sure to order royal dosa . Carry cash with you they dont accept credit card.
Very basic atmosphere and food. The staff was very pleasant and welcoming.
Terrific choice, I like their style and their prices, and recommend going with a group and getting the Family Dosa.
The place is not what it used to be, wander if its under new management. Bring cash, they dont any credit cards and the ATM is out of service
Tasty uttapam and dosas - wide selection. Palak panner dosa is our favorite!
Terrific dosas... pepper lamb is awesome. Somosa chaat is really good too.
Found the place by chance. Their masala dosa is close to the authentic one back home.
Very good food great Dosas. I can recommend this restaurant for sure
While the Dosa was wonderful, being cash-only and having to pay ATM fees via the machine in the back was inconvenient.
Nothing was right, food, no ice available. Very high prices compared to other dosa places
Awesome food and excellent service. Every One of them is very friendly.
Very good place to have South Indian food but a bit expensive
Pretty good dosa. Cauliflower appetizer is lit
Tasty South Indian food near Long Island University.
Great dosa’s, nice and crisp with great coconut chutney! Cash only!
The food was delicious. Our waiter was a little insecure.
Upscale Indian fare, warm and knowledgeable staff, attentive service. Love this place
Good South Indian menu and food, a rare gem.
Great food. Basic decor, Surprising high ceiling.
Great food and dosas. Sambar is ok but dosas are super.
Wait time was long and food was not hot. Very tasty thoy
This restaurant Mack Delivary all time late.i can’t found any order perfect time. Irascible front guy
The food is amazing. The decor is ok.
Food Didnt taste so good
Really good dosa. And service was amazing 🤞😬
I adore this place. Top notch Indian food!
Amazing dosas. Lots of vegetarian friendly choices
Excellent authentic food, served fast
Nice south-indian food in Brooklyn. Price is to high.
Maybe good for the Americans but I would not recommend it for Indians
Poor menu.
Had my first dosa and I will be coming back for more
Friendly staff. Good food with some interesting choices.
They never showed up with food and didn’t answer phone
Huge family dosa was pretty good.
Really awesome neighborhood Indian spot. cash only!!
Yummy south Indian food. Friendly staff
Very bad dosa....go to dosa place in long Island
Great food, bustling restaurant.
Worst dosa ever. Sambar was terrible too.
First time with dosa. Very tasty
Great dosas! Reminded me of being back in Chennai.
Understated, low key and excellent food!
Best south Indian food in new York
Good food
Mediocre food.

2021-10-28REALLY tasty food for Indian food. They did a solid job on the Samosa chaat and Tandoori chicken. The chicken 65 is on the sweet side (tastes like Sesame chicken) but is a nice contrast to the other food. My biggest complaint is the portion size (extremely small for price and compared to other Indian restaurants). This place is 5 stars for taste but lost a star for the portion size.I believe this place is worth the try.
Review №2
2022-04-20Food came quick. The shrimp curry was so salty I had to eat it with a lot of rice to make it edible. I didn’t even take the leftovers home. For the price I expected it to be way better or at least fun to eat. :/
Review №3
2022-02-04Delicious and fresh... I love the spices- their other dishes besides dosas, are all unique and very tasty. Try their tangy spicy soup... better than at other Indian restaurants and life-giving on a rainy day like today!

2021-09-14August 2021: what a surprise find. Food was authentic. Quiet location in a residential area. Service could use some additional help when it was busy.We had dosa, coconut rice, chole batture, chai, and lots more. Everything was great.
Review №5
2022-06-22Horrible service!! The male waiter was extremely rude to everyone in the restaurant (only 3 tables of customers, not busy whatsoever). He basically threw food on our table. Making extremely loud noise by throwing plates in the tray. He seemed very annoyed when we asked questions about the menu. When there were items missed in our dishes, he didn’t inform us in advance. Literally the worst service I have encountered in NYC!!! I felt bad for the owner of this restaurant who hires him, because the food was great. But definitely would NOT recommend this restaurant due to extremely unpleasant experience.

2022-05-28Food was okay, not great - quite salty. Sadly the coconut rice that I ordered came with mold.
Review №7
2022-04-03As an Indian it takes a lot for me to like an Indian restaurant. Needless to say my expectations were not high coming in. The food is simple, I would even call it somewhat underspiced but in a surprisingly good way. Quick service and great flavor with the chutneys and sambhar hitting the right notes (spices, ginger and everything) and the absence of food coloring and too much oil that one finds in most Indian restaurants. Great job!

2022-07-05Mixed my order! Now lemme just say I love me a dosa but it’s really frustrating when you wait an hour for it just to get the wrong order. I’m also super mindful of things happening sometimes by mistake so I looked up this place here just to read everyone’s reviews and it looks like it’s a daily common review! Late orders and mixed/incorrect orders. So there you go. Consider yourself warned. I never really even bothered asking for a refund or replacement since I ordered through DoorDash and it wasn’t really their fault. Just thought of leaving this review instead.

2022-06-21We ordered 7 masala dosa and 5 mango lassi. When I leave the restaurant I forgot my AirPods. Then I go back there then manager said he have my AirPods but he can’t give it to me because we don’t give them tips.They didn’t give us good service why we have give them tips.They behaved like very rude.

2022-04-03The dosas were crisp and light and the chutneys/daal flavorful and the right level of spice. The dining room is no frills and not the cleanest.
