I've been to Dosa Boyz twice now while staying in Mississauga, and overall, it's a decent…read morefast-casual Indian spot--especially if you're someone like me who's up early and looking for something hearty before noon. One big plus is that they open at 10:00 AM, which makes them a great option for a late breakfast or early lunch. On my first visit, I ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala, which came in an unexpectedly huge portion. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't match the size--it was pretty mid, and not something I'd order again. But I had a feeling I jchose the wrong thing. So I went back and got what they're clearly known for: a dosa. And this time, it really hit the spot. Crispy and flavorful. The vibe is no-frills in a good way--order at the counter, grab a seat, and wait for your food. Speaking of which, be prepared to wait a bit; the food does take a while to come out. Not ideal if you're in a hurry. This is why I would give it a 3/5. Seating is pretty standard--clean and casual, nothing fancy. All in all, I'd recommend it for the dosa-focused dishes and early opening hours. Just skip the curry, don't come in a rush, and you'll leave happy.

A friend and I came in on a weekend afternoon, where it was fairly empty. Most people seemed to…read moreorder takeout (which I can understand. There isn't much parking around, and there weren't too many employees so they didn't clean up the tables quickly enough to be able to find a seat). Ambience aside, the food was good. I haven't had many dosas before, so I wasn't sure what to order. The cash person was very helpful in letting us know what was recommended. We ordered the rajini chicken dosa and the paneer masala curry. It was filling for 2 people. I would mention that I was very surprised at how big the dosa itself was, but then I was surprised by the small amount of chicken on the inside. BUT it actually was filling, and the fact that they had so much of the crispy dosa part itself was nice to dip into the different sauces they had. The curry itself was also very good. It doesn't come with rice or naan, so you would need to order them separately. We got the plain naan which worked well for dipping. I do think you might need 2 orders of it to be enough as I thought the portion of naan was relatively little (compared to other places I've been to, which is mostly Middle Eastern places). But the curry itself was excellent. I will note that I did ask for two smaller bowls (so my friend and I could split the sambar) and they gave me two wet bowls with water in them. I asked them to give me clean, dry bowls, which they did afterwards. Overall, food was good, but the other areas could do with a little improvement.

Saffron Mahal is a wonderfully cozy family owned and operated restaurant that did not disappoint…read more We had a delicious meal and enjoyed every bite. Masala papad, dahi puri, samosa chana, lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka, biryani, garlic cheese naan- everything was phenomenal. We cannot recommend this spot enough and we can't wait to return on our next trip to Toronto! ** Important to make reservations when you can (especially for a group of 6 like we had) to avoid a long wait. The pace of the meal is perfect because you can feel the intention they put behind their food- but if you're starving it will feel too slow!

Everything is delicious! Don't go alone!…read more Each order is around 18.00, with naan and rice ranging from 3 to 7 dollars. One naan and one curry will feed two people. But, you can't resist the Momo's, so grab them and accept that you'll need to take a lot home with you. Medium spice is very reasonable, so don't worry about ordering that. Just worry about how you're going to fit all that food into you. The mixed pickles are a great contrast and break up the flavors. And, should you be wondering if the carrot pudding is any good, let me assure you that it is. If you're craving Indian food, the menu is very extensive. But, seriously, don't go alone.

**South India on a Plate, No Flight Needed**…read more Came here as a student at York University, and it's been my all-time favorite South Indian spot ever since. Whether it's breakfast, brunch, or lunch, this place delivers the kind of authentic flavors that instantly transport you to South India. The food here is consistently amazing. My go-to is always the Mysore Masala Dosa and the vegetarian Parontha, but if I'm dining with a partner, I never miss the Vada Sambhar plate, with its two medu vadas and two idlis. Every bite hits that perfect balance of spice, texture, and comfort that makes you forget everything else. The atmosphere adds to the charm -- the walls are lined with large posters of South Indian stars and legends, and the music playing in the background completes the cozy, immersive vibe. It's the kind of place that feels both lively and relaxed at the same time. Service can be a bit slow, likely because they're a little understaffed, and there's often a fair wait during weekends or peak hours. Delivery through Uber Eats is an option, but in-person is where the experience really shines. Despite the wait, once the food arrives, all minor complaints disappear. If there's room for improvement, a slightly larger team on busy days could help speed up service and make the experience smoother for everyone. All in all, this is a spot I'll always return to -- it's perfect for anyone craving authentic South Indian flavors in a comfortable, welcoming setting.

Dosa heaven... If you never tried a dosa, this is a place to try one. We had a butter paper masala…read moredosa and it was delicious. Crispy and the potatoe onion filling is just right. Paper dosa is larger, thinner and I think crispier. Didn't really need the butter as it was oily but still good. We started with Idly and they were soft and fluffy, melted in your mouth. Finally tried Aloo Gobi curry with plain naan. Very flavourful and a bit spicy but the naan was more chewier than I'm used to. The place is busy and there is a glass window so you can see the dosas being made. The service is prompt and they check on you often. Overall an enjoyable lunch. Deal: 3pm to 6pm 2 dosas for $15.99.

While we were ordering up front, she kept walking away to do other stuff and then coming back. She did this about three times while we were triyng to order our food. We waited about 40 minutes for our food. Even for our masala chai, which they said was already pre-made, took forever to come even though we specified that we wanted it right away instead of at the end of the meal. We ordered dosas and a couple other appetizers, which were all alright in terms of taste. I'm not sure that I would come back, mostly due to the incredibly slow service.

With locations in Brampton on Ebenezer Road and in Scarborough, they are a highly popular restaurant for UberEats and SkipTheDishes delivery and takeout.

Be patient and willing to wait up to 40 minutes for them to prepare your food during peak times. One person walked in and ordered the entire case full of ready made quick bites! Since it was late midday they were no longer serving Madras Thali (Chennai Food Platter) and their Bombay Thali (Mumbai Plate Meals). Those items are no longer served due to Covid? They were also out of the popular Madras Filter Coffee but that allowed us to choose other options. Really you can't go wrong with ordering anything on their wide ranging menu since it is all delicious! Everyone was ordering Dosa Varieties and I noticed quite a few dessert chocolate Dosa being ordered too. Kids love it! Next time I visit, I will order the Onion Chilli Oothapam or 7 Taste Oothapam. For this visit, I opted for a few plates to order and share with friends in order for us to share a variety of each of their favourites. * Coriander Masala Dosa * Extra Sambar, Chutney and Rasam* for an additional charge (it was so good we all ordered an extra Rasam for takeaway!) * Poori with Vegetable Kurma and Chana* * Idli Vada Plate came with 2 idli and 2 vada*.
