    Was around somerset area and wanted to have a quick dinner and spotted this restaurant . Looking at 4.3 star review in google , I went to this restaurant .. first time . Restaurant was crowded.. service was worst . No one would even come to table and take order .. had to call them twice or thrice to get someone take order ... and after order - IT TOOK 45 mins for a dosa to be served ... 45 mins for a dosa ??? Ufff. After 45 mins I was eagerly waiting to taste the dosa , and it was such a disappointment!!!!!! Dosa was very ordinary.. Sambar had less salt and didn't taste south indianish.. please don't think this is South Indian restaurant . It is not ! Onion rava was another disappointment ! I wanted to give 1 star but luckily the chilly parotta was good . Just for that, I'm giving 2 stars ! Ambience was ordinary .. Will not go back again . Very disappointing visit :.

    About the timings at Dosa Grill.

    On Monday, Oct-28, We straight away came from Newark airport to get some food and reached the restaurant at 9:20PM. They closed the restaurant at 9:20 unannounced, even though the Signboard at the door said "Open". We were starving and the folks at the restaurant were not even apologetic. Very very unprofessional behavior. Have been going there for almost 20 years, and first time we were very disappointed. The posted timings are shown in the attached picture.

    I think 3 Stars is about the right rating. 1. The Uttapam was excellent. It was Onion Hot Chilli Tomato Uttapam. 2. We also had Idli and IdliVada Sambhar combo. 3. The chutneys are good decent I would say. They give tomato chutney and coconut chutney 4. Service is good and they bring the food promptly. 5. The sambhar was the low light and it was one of the worst sambhars I have tasted. It was thick almost like yesterdays left over daal. There was no taste of sambhar and it had no tadka.. It could go as Daal Fry if it was little more thick than what we had.

    Somehow had not been here before and finally tried it a few days ago. We were seated immediately around 6:30pm, although it did fill up quite a bit by 7:30-8ish. I ordered the paneer uttapam and my friends had rava masala dosa. Everything was delicious and the prices are super reasonable. Will definitely be back.

    I've been here only once and tried only their Wednesday Dosa buffet, but I can already vouch this to be one of the best authentic South Indian vegetarian restaurant and Dosa place in the Garden state. They have a display of awards they have won and that's certainly a testimony to what they offer. We went here just by the reviews and was surprised how a modest looking place can pack a punch with its taste and pleasant customer service. The food was out of the world and tasted just how it would if you are to walk into a South Indian restaurant, back in India. We got here on a Wednesday night to try the dosa buffet and had no disappointments. They charge $19.99 per person for unlimited food, which is nominal. The dosas variety is a lot and the other various foods served in the counters are delicious too. They keep refilling them and don't let you wait. The only pickle point is that they didn't have pickles to side the curd rice (which's a must in South Indian type of eating) ;) We can't wait to try this place on other days and their other delicacies. Dosa Grill, you found yourself, new patrons in us!

    One is Butter Dosa one is Plain. I can't tell which was which.  52. Butter Masala Dosa 50. Masala Dosa

    Been dining on Dosa Grill ever since I was a kid. This is a go to spot when I have family visit and we want dosas. One of my favorite Franklin food spots. FOOD - spot on Dosa place. If you want classic dosas done right this is the place. Period. Also their chai and snacks like papdi chaat and bhel puri are some of the best! SERVICE - always friendly and accommodating. When I've gone to dine there with a big party we always get a nice table that fits everyone. The staff is great with menu questions and timely with food production. Post COVID I've gotten delivery once (through Yelp/Grubhub). HOURS - they close mid day I think 230-530pm. TOGO/DELIVERY - Food was very fresh and hot upon arrival. I ordered 3 dosas, 2 appetizers, and 2 beverages. The Masala and sambar was packed separate from the dosas to keep everything fresh. They included sugar with the chai too which is nice extra touch. I ordered close to their mid day closing time and called to speak to them about my order they not only assured me they would get it done before closing but they called me after the Grubhub driver picked up to let me know food is on the way. Beyond excellent service! I placed a big order too so I'm super impressed and thankful because I couldn't wait 3 hours for it if I had to wait for after they reopened. One thing for improvement is on the delivery packs please write the Dosa type on the box. I ordered Butter Masala and a Masala Dosa but could tell which was which. (See picture). It didn't matter for me I ate them both but it might matter for someone else. I failed to take a pictures of papdi chaat and bhel puri packing because I ate it too fast but they pack it well and full!

    Paper dosa (plain)

    Hands down the best restaurant in the area. Have been going here for years, love it every time. Always filled with Indian families. Paper dosa and rava onion masala dosa are my choices.

    Palak Masala Dosa and Rava Dosa

    Was super happy with this place. My mom was a bit apprehensive because it doesn't look that great by the exterior. But it was really nice inside and nicely decorated with photos! I'm super picky when it comes to dosa but this really hit the spot!! Sambar and chutneys were all good.

    Monica D.

    I meant to take a picture before having this meal. Oops! Sambar and chutneys balance out the dosa specials really well. But the star... samosa chaat. So good! Service is also great - attentive, accommodating, and friendly

    Great food and ambience. Ravva dosa and pakora are our all time favourite. Food is served very hot and the service time is short.

First time got it plain to experience the…read morematcha flavor and second time got the black sesame for a bit of sweetness (not overpowering). As for the sandwiches, I've tried the katsu, pesto chicken, and tikka masala. The Katsu was by far my favorite. The pesto chicken was good too. The tikka masala isn't what I expected (was expecting tomato base), still good though. I'll update my review once I'm back home to show the tikka masala. 10/10 would be back to try the other drinks and desserts. They were out of the honey cake when I went. Which I heard is a crowd favorite.

    I visited Manzil around 9 PM on a Saturday night, and it was surprisingly quiet. I ordered an iced…read morevanilla latte and wanted to get a honey cake, but I was initially told they were sold out. I picked a different dessert instead, only to find out later that there was actually one honey cake left after all. A quick double-check before saying an item is unavailable would have saved a little confusion (and would have gotten me to my honey cake faster!). That said, the iced vanilla latte was good, though I noticed there seemed to be quite a bit of room left at the top of the cup. I'm not expecting it filled to the brim, but it felt like there could have been a little more coffee for the price. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Overall, it was an okay experience. I'd consider coming back for the coffee, though next time I might just place a to-go order.

For a restaurant that charges significantly more than other Indian spots in the area, the quality of the food and service simply isn't there: The Food: The Mango Lassi was so incredibly sour it was undrinkable. The "Fish Kebab" was just basic deep-fried fish with a terrible taste. The Kadai Chicken was nowhere near authentic--it tasted like a generic, basic tomato-onion chicken curry. The Paan: To top it off, the server insisted I try the Indian paan. I reluctantly agreed, only to be served a completely dried-out betel leaf that felt like it had been sitting around for two weeks. The Service: The friendliness was nonexistent. The two tall servers working that day were incredibly cold, uninviting, and gave off an intensely hostile vibe as they escaped from prison. I considered really complain about the food, but decided to just pay and move on. Between the overpriced, poorly executed dishes and the lack of basic hospitality, I won't be returning. Stick to the standard chicken kebab if you absolutely must go, but honestly, you're better off finding authentic Indian food elsewhere.
