  I had no idea what I was in for when I walked into this restaurant. I didn't know what a Dosa was. I do now. I have never had a Dosa anywhere else to compare? But holy crap did I enjoy this one.
  I had the Nilagari Chicken Dosa. Came with a soup and two sauces. Soup was pleasantly spicy. The sauces disappointed me though. They were frozen. I know they were frozen as they were still a bit icy when they were served to me.
  The dosa though is literally the size of my arm. It's not filled all the way through but a good chunk is. One of my favorite new restaurants for sure.

  Food: 3.5 stars.
  Atmosphere: 5 stars.
  Service: 1 star. Which was our biggest turnoff for this restaurant. Order took at least 1 hr. Without the slightest acknowledgement or apology. Waited a few minutes just to get seated at the beginning. Not the friendliest servers either.
  
  Having eaten there twice, we won't be going back.

  Lunch with friends at Desi Dosa was a pleasure in every way! The Restaurant has uplifting energy, beautiful warm ambiance and food we found delicious! Portions are generous, made with quality ingredients and taste yummy! We had the fish curry, lamb dosa, spinach and feta dosa, idly, and more I forget the name of, though remember the good taste. Service was quick and attentive. Something for everyone on the menu, carnivores, vegetarians and vegans. In our group of 8 we had all three represented and we all left satisfied. Highly recommended!

  *update 2018*
  
  We went back to this place for dinner. There was a silverfish on my plate when I finished my dosa. Made me question whether there were a few inside my dosa and if I had just consumed insects.
  
  If I could rate 0 stars I would.
  
  Original review:
  
  - we came in and it seemed busy and popular so we had our hopes up
  -one star because the spiced coffee was delicious. But the refill policy is weird I'll get to that
  - we order two thali plates, chicken khutu and a dosa
  - after about half an hour the thali plates arrive *cold*
  - then the khutu arrives and it's not very spicy
  - after about ten minutes the server arrives to tell us there is a problem with the grill and the dosa isn't coming. That was MY dish so I just ordered a biryani to keep it simple and hopefully have my food soon
  - it takes them an additional half an hour to bring my biryani and I end up having half of the khutu.
  - they don't even offer to provide the biryani for the dosa price as a courtesy as it took a full hour or so for my food to arrive and by that time everyone was finished eating.
  - when I asked for the free refill on my coffee she gave me one cup as opposed to the full teapot that originally was provided.
  - when I asked for the teapot with the coffee and an extra cup, she only filled it halfway and charged for a second coffee as I was sharing some with my mother in law
  - all in all, disappointed.
