A decent place, with enough seating space. Self order, server will bring food to table I tried their dosa and idli Dosa are amazing. My husband tried their spiciest kara dosa. I tried garlic masala dosa. Both were very good. Podi idli was just ok. I'd have loved more podi on idli. read more

Went on the last day of Fremont Restaurant Week to try out their idly-vadai-dosa combo! Great deal for $9.99 with a cup of Masala chai in addition to what you see on the plate. They were kind enough to swap tea for filter coffee when we requested for no extra charge although it didn't come as part of the ongoing promotion. 10/10 for little things like this that instantly maximise customer experience. Loved all the chutneys and sambar. The masala (inside dosai) alone was a bit too bland for me. Will definitely be back to try other items off their menu. read more

Woww I brought their in house batter, my family loved the taste and quality. Dosa came really great and crispy. The highlight is there is no preservatives in this batter. Amazing quality. Also we tried their samosa and Phool makhana Manchurian, very different taste. Chef did an amazing job, tbh. Unlike other places, they serve it in very healthy aspects. They have happy hour all days. Dosa starting at $4.99, unbelievable price. I never saw this cheap price. Ambiance was very welcoming. And the staffs were well trained. Very great customer service. Will definitely come very often to this place. read more

Very good place for dosa. Crispy, tasty and served hot. Sambar was proper South Indian style, not too sweet. Staff was polite and service was fast. I will definitely come again with family. read more

Paper like tasting dry dosas and tasteless watery stale chutneys, nothing is good here. Tried a few times looking at 4* reviews, don't understand how it has those reviews. NOT WORTH GOING. read more

Great food. And very accommodating. Excellent service. Fast service. Brought the whole family and they love it.

This is a new location that is just 3 months old and based on the quality of the food is going to do well. The dosas were excellent. Note that it's not much look to at and is the quintessential hole in the wall. Prakash our waiter was awesome, such an unassuming humble helpful person. I wish him and the restaurant the very best. read more

Great and fast service. Everything was delicious. Idlis, Sambhar Vada and authentic tea.

The dosa here were terrible. I ordered the Gongura sour spinach dosa with masala. The attendant asked if I wanted it spicy. I asked for non-spicy. The filling was so hot it was really difficult to eat. Plus it was very salty. It was the worst dosa/indian food have ever eaten. Plus the quantity of poor quality masala was little. read more

This restaurant has gone downhill and feels like a complete letdown now. It seems they are taking customers for granted. I'm honestly surprised more people don't leave honest reviews. If they continue operating this way, it's hard to see how they'll survive much longer. We went for dinner on a weekend, and the first red flag was that the place was almost empty during peak hours. We ordered idly, rasam vada, and kothu parotta--unfortunately, every dish was disappointing. The chutneys were cold and tasteless, the sambar was watery with no flavor, and the rasam felt like plain tamarind water. The vada was very small and clearly frozen. The kothu parotta, priced at $14, was especially disappointing and not worth the money at all. I genuinely don't understand why the owner is running the restaurant this way. If this is the standard they're willing to serve, they're only driving away food lovers instead of earning loyal customers. read more

Absolutely love Dosa Express! Their food is incredibly delicious!! the dosas are perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the idlis are so soft and fresh. Every bite reminds me of home-cooked South Indian comfort food. Can't get enough of it, highly recommended!! read more

Hole in the wall restaurant, with plenty of seating space indoors. The food is delicious and fresh! We tried idli, vada, utthapam, and podi idli (see below). They serve food in utensils unlike many competitors in the area that serve in plastic wasteful containers, so big kudos to them for being mindful. I would say the following: 1. Food is quite expensive - it is easily a minimum of $15 per person for a full tummy. We spent ~$42 on 3 dishes. 2. The podi idli could've been better. The idli was fried in ghee and podi and all I could taste was ghee. As a recommendation, the ghee and podi could be given on the side and fried could be an option. Highly recommend Dosa Express for fresh, south Indian food! read more

Absolutely loved Dosa Express! The dosas are crispy and flavorful, and the chutneys are super fresh. Great variety, authentic South Indian taste, and the staff is super friendly. Cozy spot with reasonable prices--definitely coming back! read more

Nice ambience , good service and friendly staff, nice food, overall excellent experience

Participated in the Yelp Camp. Great vegan options! Rice cake was mushy, probably better warm. Donut was crispy on the outside, coconut sauce was a good complement for it! read more

The food was pretty decent. I had the filter coffee, mini idols and masala dosa. Everything was decent. The spice level was less which was wonderful since my non Indian friends and I cannot handle very hot food. The idols were really good. The staff was friendly and polite. We sat and chatted for a long time and the staff was kind. Overall a very happy experience. read more

This spot is hellaaaa good for South Indian food if you don't know now you know! Reminds me of Chennai love it

5 dollars for big size dosa no kidding , best dosa deal ever, tastes superb , their rose milk is must try.

A new south Indian food joint=can't wait to try it out. I went today which was a grand opening. So it was crowded. Some things I felt so good about was 1) service 2) their chutneys (beats my other favorite spots) 3) their grand opening food tasting event. Extremely excited to be a regular here. Things I wish they work on: Cleanliness or toilets and the whole place in general. Service time and expectations read more

Don't forget to checkin to get $5 off. Place seems new and garnered quite a few positive reviews already so we decided to check it out after a long day of shopping. Place was packed on Saturday evening and there was a wait time as well. We were literally famished and placed a large order after finding a table. There was a large wall mural which kind of felt out of place with the overall vibe, other than that the ambiance was typical of other Indian restaurants. They had some specials advertised on a board in addition to their regular menu. We placed an order for idli, vada, dosa combo, rava dosa, rotis and Kurma from the special menu, dahivada and cheese dosa for the kids. The food took almost 25-30 minutes to come out, I can understand they are still new and need some time to get the machine well oiled and running smoothly so I will not count it against them for now. They also advertised some prices for the special menu items but they charged me more for it after placing the order, when I asked them they simply said that's how it is. It's not a lot of money but it's not right to bait and switch. Coming to food: Idli: fluffy pillowy goodness, perfection! Sambar: had the makings of a good sambar but fell terribly short. Passable. Dosa: nothing noteworthy, no complaints Rava dosa: that characteristic interplay of crunchy and soft goodness was missing. Batter seemed to be incorrect. Chutneys: decent and freshly made. Vada: cooked pretty well but the outside was not crispy enough. Rotis and Kurma: Kurma again had all the correct ingredients but fell short of knocking it out of the park, the rotis hardened up after sitting around for a while. read more

This being my 1st dosa restaurant experience, having come because of the Chron review this past week, I'm not qualified to judge comparatively. But the restaurant is great - clean and well-lit and all that - with a very friendly staff, and the food (and the apparently house-made mango lassi) were delicious. I had the Tomato Onion Chili Uthappam, and it was a little like a really subtle and lighter version of a pizza: a more chewy crepe than the regular dosa, I gathered - warm, filling, and satisfying. Highly recommend! read more

They had a promotional event and we happened to be there. We got idli, meru vada and small masala dosa for free. The vada and dosa were flawless. The dosa especially had a very nice crisp which shows that batter is perfectly fermented. The idli though is made with idli rice which I'm not a very big fan of. But, it was soft and have to give it to chef. Very casual ambience setup. The staff were friendly. One very important drawback I found were the chutneys. They are watery and could've tasted better. Edit: I was shocked by the response the business owner gave. We had the food in their facility, but the usage of foul words sayings it's a takeaway is not appreciated. Anyways, I reviewed their food and not the response. So, Iwould want to stop this conversation. read more

The dosa was amazing. First time I tried it. The owner is so friendly and the staff too. They make you feel at home. The best dosa masala. I will be back for sure. read more

Best dosas and medu vada in the East Bay!! Friendly, fast service. I like that it's a charitable, woman-owned business with an inviting atmosphere. The dosas are always perfectly crisp and the masala is heaven. Best chutneys of the many dosa places near us that we've tried. Excellent rose milk and mango lassi too! read more

The list of things I love about India is much too long, but a good dosa is up there near the top. These were so good they made my heart happy. Sambal was perfectly balanced. They give you enough sambal and coconut to fully enjoy with the dosas. But mostly just delicious, delicious. What a fabulous place. read more

- The parotta certainly felt like it was frozen parotta heated up and not fresh made. They should not be doing this. - Vada was stale - Sambar qty was very little for dosas - dosas was ok - the main advantage for this restaurant is that they are open late when most other Indian restaurants aren't read more

Let me just say that it would take a lot to get a bad review out of me. I genuinely want restaurants to succeed, and I'm not that hard to please. We came here on a Monday night. Ordered mysore masala dosa, biryani and uttappam. The stars are for the uttapam, which was quite good. Mysore masala dosa was soo soggy - in hindsight I should've sent it back. It was also not flavorful, and just looked like it had orange coloring. The condiments were just average - not bad, not not great either. Biryani was not the layered kind. It was fine, but not what you would find in other restaurants. I found the place a bit unclean. One of the spoons I picked up from the cutlery tray wasn't even washed. Nobody came to serve us any water. No one around us had been served water, and I didn't see any dispenser either. I'm not sure about all these reviews - something doesn't add up. I will not be coming here again. read more

Always wanted to try this place in town and finally tried it. The food was okay. The one thing that I loved here was the onion rava dosa. The methu vada and masala dosa were okay. I wasn't a fan of the sambhar either. It was steamed lentils with not much flavor. The potato flavor didn't have much flavor. It was just steamed potato in salt and turmeric. The staff here was really nice and hence me giving this place a 3 star. If you're looking for simple flavors, then this place is for you. read more

First time, had the combo sampler, host explained the regional differences. It was all good! Good service.

Bro, the dosas here are next level! Super crispy, filling, and totally worth the price. Perfect hangout spot after classes. Plus, the unlimited chutney refills? Total jackpot . read more

A small place but amazing food and service. I have been twice to this place and really love their podi dosa. The spicy podi is the best I had in the Bay area. Their mango shake is pretty amazing too! The food is quite cheap as compared to other south Indian places with no compromise on the quality. Will keep going! read more

Best ever place, good staff great food and delicious taste Love it my kids love their food read more

So this place is another small whole in the wall type, but they have really amazing dosa options. I highly recommend it.

Food is decent, but just not at the mark of great that I've had at other places. My main issues is certain dishes the textures were not as light or spongy as normally for the item, certain dishes were not spicy/acidic enough, and some items just overall were not as flavored as I've had elsewhere. Still a good decent place, just not a 5/5 for me. read more
