Description

Dosa, the folded crepelike street snack of Southern India, and its cousins, open-face uttapam (we like the paneer and peas one best), idli (lentil patties), and vada (lentil dumplings), are given pride on place in this chic and modern setting, which offers a dozen different varieties of its namesake dish. There are only a few curries on the menu, but each one is superb at this Mission District Indian restaurant. The short wine and beer list is well chosen for the spicy and intriguing fare. Pleasant bar, if you have to wait (no reservations for parties under 5).

  • 2006 | Best Trendy Mission Eatery

    Naan, tandoori, and chicken vindaloo are some of the delectables we associate with late-night (usually inebriated) visits to Indian eateries. What most people don't know is that these staples represent only the teeniest fraction of South Asian cuisine. Now Dosa -- a recent addition to Valencia's corridor of international good eats -- is introducing foodies to South Indian fare, known for its flavorful ingredients, including coconut, mustard seeds, and chilies galore.
