So you are a vegetarian/vegan and have a craving for crepes and neat south Indian food..Dosa Place is your place to go. Very simple decor and brightly lit... I have been here thrice and have not been disappointed. Their food is not super delicious or so but good for the tummy and worth the penny spent. Here is my take on the dosas I had here... Rava Dosai - met my expectation but did not exceed Masala Dosai - exceeded my expectation Now my expectation is subjective...let me set the bar - am talking about a normal meal that sure will fill your tummy and leave a good taste in the mouth. We did try the Curd Vada and we liked it. Their accompaniments that come with Dosa like Sambhar and Chutneys were good. The sambhar tasted different every single time and I kind of liked it. At times, the owner does get you a special chutney depending on what they had in the kitchen that night. The poori we tried one night was bit oily but not super greasy or so....well what is the point in it if it is not deep fried.The channa that came with it is not your typical north indian style but has a deep south touch to it. We will go there anytime for a good dosa time and definitely try out some other items on their menu! Cheers! read more

Good food!!!! Dosas are authentic crisp as nice. Sambar was ok! If one's visiting Niagra, it's better to eat here instead of the food court, although it is half an hour away. They give take away's as well. Will I come back? Yes , when we come back to Niagra again. read more

Enjoyed an all around great meal here. Far from 5 stars, but the dinner was tasty and satisfied a craving. I also love that they are exclusively vegetarian. It was empty (literally) on a Friday evening, but perhaps that can be attributed to the holidays sending UB students out of town. Ordered a spicy potato dosa (good), eggplant curry (great!), and a chick pea dish (meh). I'd certainly go back for the eggplant, but wouldn't likely reorder the other two and would prefer trying something different. As expected, the food was quite spicy. I was disappointed that they were out of both naan and mango lassi - they are my go-tos at all Indian restaurants. Not sure if this was a one time issue or a regular occurrence, but it was disappointing! read more

Place looks ok and the location is very nice but the food sucks. We ordered dosa they were either overdone or underdone .no authentic taste. The waiter was clueless abt the order perhaps overworked cos one guy was managing the whole thing. Brought out the bill with wrong prices and then was totally confused when asked about it. It was a bad experience overall. Better places around .with definitely better food. read more

My first time having dosa, and I am a big fan! I had the Rava Dosa with Potatoes and Onions. It was so crispy and delicious. I also tried my friend's Spicy Dosa with Potatoes and Onions, and it was soft and flavorful. The spicy one was very spicy. His also came with Vadai, which is a savory lentil donut. The Vadai was not as flavorful as I thought it would be, but I guess you dip it into the coconut chutney to soak up all the flavor. His also came with Idli which is a soft rice bread. It was nice, but also didn't have much flavor. I think I preferred the Vadai over the Idli, and the Dosa over the Vadai, with the regular Dosa slightly better than the Rava Dosa. For dessert I got a Dosa with Sugar and Butter. It was tasty, sweet, and buttery, with a slight sour taste. My friend was telling me they ferment the dough somehow before they make it. It is a good sour taste, I think. Maybe some might not like it. My friend's dessert was a warm mango tapioca pudding. It was sooo good. It reminded me of my childhood because tapioca pudding was one of my most favorite desserts. Personally I loved everything, with the exception of their coffee. The coffee tasted awful, which was sad because it ruined the good taste of everything else. read more

Its a horrible place i have ever been... Firstly, hygience.. even though its been there for just a week now. Food: Stale.. The idli, vada were cold and sour.. not sure how old the batter was. Chutney and sambhar were not great. I could only taste turmeric in masala dosa..Chai was re-heated and served in a dirty cup probably made some 10 hrs before. Service: Very bad. . read more

The place was empty, small mom/pop restaurant. I got a Mysore masala dosa and family had puri with chana. The food was good, tasty and worth the inexpensive price. Puri was big and with the Chana it was fulfilling. However, the restaurant needs to focus a bit more on cleanliness procedures with cooking. read more

A friend recommended coming here to try a new dosa place. I tried the other dosa restaurant in the past and really enjoyed it so I figured why not. Upon arrival, the restaurant has a very plain interior and exterior, nothing memorable or unique. The only good experience the whole night was how quickly we were seated and how often they made sure our glasses were filled with water. We ended up ordering 4 different dosas (a cheese dosa, mysore dosa masala, etc), palak paneer, a variety appetizers, and some other dishes. The appetizer arrived but we only had spoons and forks. When we asked for plates, the waitress brought us 4 (even though there were 5 people in our party), and they were all dripping wet. She brought out our food but after waiting 10 minutes, we had to remind her that she had forgotten 2 of our dishes (tsk tsk). While the dosas were good, the other "non-dosa" dishes were actually quite bad. Bad as in bland, watery, luke warm in temperature. The most off putting experience was how poor the service was. I had to repeatedly remind the waitress for utensils, straws, etc. Overall a bad experience which the food does not make up for. Definitely won't be coming back anytime in the near future. read more

Excellent customer service, tamed platters for mild buds and perfect for adventurous foodies. read more

Delicious South Indian food! Generous portions and friendly service. Paneer was particularly delicious and of course their dosas were perfect. If familiar with vegetarian South Indian this won't disappoint. Prices very reasonable and quality ingredients. read more

Just got back from India and all my Indian restaurants no longer taste Indian. Dosa's South Indian cuisine truly brings me the taste of India. Simple delicious Indian food! read more

I love this place so much !!! The food is so so so so delicious . I'm a vegan , there food is 100% vegetarian and most are vegan friendly ! So amazing ! Check it out ! read more

We were quite disappointed with this restaurant. The ambience was nice. We went for lunch. We ordered thali, dosa and uthappam. The thali was the only bearable dish. The dosa and uthappam lacked good taste. To top that, the chutney and sambhar were bland in taste. If you don't expect the food to be very tasty, then you might not get very disappointed. On the whole, the name is really deceiving. read more

We ordered mysore butter masala dosa , dosa combo which comes with 1 idly 1 vada and a desert . mysore masala dosa was not traditional red Chutney was missing. dosa itself was good but coconut chutney tasted like forzen and tadka was made in coconut oil which we dint like . cuisine is kerala style so food is cooked with coconut oil which i presonally dont like. read more

See all

Inexpensive and delicious food! Great gluten free options too. Their dosas are large, and crisp. They are best to eat in the restaurant, but I still get them as takeout too as they do a decent job packaging them. read more

Their dosas and iddly are amazing and the service is so welcoming, helpful and friendly. It's great having so many vegan options, too. I highly recommend. read more

We went to Dosa Place on our way back from Niagara Falls to NYC as my dad was missing dosas. Can't complain in general, rava masala dosa was decent, so were the Mysore masala dosa. Chuttni wasn't great & the dhahi vada wasn't soft as they hadn't absorbed the dhai. The fact that we got a vegetarian place in Buffalo was quite amazing. read more

Best vegetarian/vegan restaurant around! Such good food and great service. Definitely a must try if you're in the Niagara area.

I really really enjoyed the food,but they serve it in plastic and disposables, which makes it feel like take out food. There is self service and a weird announcement system through the microphone when our food was ready even though we were the only people there. The employees are not very hospitable or interactive. I almost wanted to gobble the food down and run. read more

Very average. The chutni is filled with ginger, high enough to cause a heart burn. Not sure why it's rated so highly, since I came here with very high expectations. Located conveniently in a plaza with tonnes of parking space. Decor is above average. read more

The dosa and uttapam is really good and their chutney too. Very good service and good quality food.

Small family-run place. Came here with a group and it was delicious. The samosa chat was fantastic. The fillings in some of the dosas could have used a bit more flavor, but the dosas themselves were amazing. read more

This place serves the best delicious dosas and at a reasonable price. I went with my friends and were welcomed by the host. We ordered rassam, rassam vadai, rava onion dosa, paper dosa, paper butter masala dosa and masala dosa. The rassam and sambhar were yummy Cetta mālāaa lēdu u bul close to the authentic south indian taste you could expect. The chutney is tasty with a bit od zing. I would recommend to try the rassam vadai or sambar vadai. read more

Wish I could give zero stars to the place. The pictures were fake, the ratings were misleading and the food was pathetic, it felt like it was cooked in bad oil and the masala tea was the worst. Do not recommend going to this place at all. Now I am praying that I do not fall sick tomorrow after eating here. read more

Awesome South Indian food in Buffalo!! Very authentic Tamil Nadu style Sambar and Idli, rasam and everything else. I initially went there for lunch but ended up going back for dinner and got a take out for the next day as well haha. Excellent service too. If you love South Indian food, you have to go here!!! read more

Being South Indian and proud of my family's tradition of good home cooking, I am impressed by Dosa Place's food. Authentic south Indian food in a homey, no-frills setting. The service is prompt and friendly, and food is excellent & well priced! During lunch yesterday, I tried the chana masala & puri, which was served with a less than generous portion of chana (chickpea curry). The owner saw that I was trying to stretch the curry, so brought out an extra serving. When I was finished with the puri, there was a quite a bit of the curry left, so he brought out some rice to go with the curry (though I told him that wasn't necessary). Believe it or not, when the curry was all gone, and there was left-over rice, he insisted on bringing me some Paneer curry, all at no extra cost to me! Needless to say, I left with a very full belly and a big smile at this display of traditional Indian hospitality! :) read more

Great vegetarian south Indian food. Great service with good price tag. Cant go wrong with that..

Stopped after Niagara trip. Spacious location..food looked close to South Indian authenticity. definite go if you are looking to eat tasty dosai and idli in your trip read more

Fantastic in so many ways. The food was delicious and there were loads of options (some with only slight tweaks). Dosa: light, crispy, about two feet long. Filling: lightly spiced onion and potato, smoothly mashed. Some kind of chutney, some kind of sauce. Mango lassi was delicious and there was something different about it (haven't had one in ages so it might just be me forgetting). Service was quick and they really went the extra mile. The atmosphere is simple and calm, with comfortable seating and warm colors. Definitely coming back and bringing friends. read more

The food was really great authentic South Indian food. I would have given 5 star but the only thing is less quantity of sambhar, chutney and plastic utensils. read more

I ate here with my daughter this past Friday. We had a fantastic experience. We ordered the Iddly appetizer, Paneer Tikka Masala and Aloo Gobi. The host was very gracious and kind. The food came out in a timely manner and was fantastic. You have to let this place be what it is and enjoy it. It is not fancy, but unique. Service is not regimented, but genuine. You can't go into this place with set expectations...otherwise you will be disappointed. Enjoy this gem. Not many like it left around town. read more

This is a competent dosa place. Stopped here from Toronto en route to Ithaca. Dosa was good and so were the chutneys. Sambhar and Idli were so so. Ask for the spicy chutney that is provided on request. read more

We had lunch at this place. We ordered two thalis, idly and dosa. Food is great especially for South Indians. The only complaint is that they served everything in plastic utensils (plates, spoons etc). That's lot of plastic just for one order. read more

Amazing environment and delicious food. When I was concerned about the low reviews I was skeptical to go there, but when we went inside it was a totally different environment, food and services. Mouth watering masalas, crispy large dosas very neatly made and served with topical south Indian sambar.I ordered second order of sambar just finished it alone. I think it's a family owned restaurant and the owners were very proud in taking the risk of serving pure vegetarian cuisine in a meat loving city. Every dishes, including their batham alva, are topical south Indian. I will definitely go there again and again. read more

Meh. I've experienced better. Food is just mediocre. The sambar leaves much to be desired. It's nice to have a dosa place in this area but it's definitely not the best in the area. If you have a car I would venture a little further read more

Definitely one of the best vegetarian places. We tried a few Indian places in the last week in different places in the east coast and we were happily surprised to see this low profile, not too fancy and simple place got such an amazing food. The thali we ordered had everything you will find in a thali in any typical tamilnadu veg restaurant, even better this one tasted more like home made. Great menu, great food and great taste. Next time I come to Niagara I will surely make a trip to this place read more

This doesn't taste like authentic South Indian food. I am surprised by other reviews that state that the food is cheap and authentic. It is neither. The dosa tasted sour which implies that the batter was excessively fermented. The medu wada was bad. I wish more yelpers rate this place to neutralize the fake reviews. read more

Went there on a whim for take out. Realized as soon as waiter said it that this place was all vegetarian. Still gave it a try although I am a pretty firm meatatarian. Turned out that vegetables are not all bad. Take out order was ready in less than 10 minutes. The dosage itself was very crisp and tasted pretty good. Little on the spicier side. Reasonably priced. read more

Food was decent but Nothing extraordinary...was visiting from NJ for a business trip here and thought of stopping by because it's exclusively veg...food was decent but docked me with a 20% service charge which IMO was a rip off... read more

I have been here several times and the dosas are so good. The amount of food placed is very generous and affordable. I have always had great experiences here and the workers are so friendly and make you feel very welcome. I would recommend anyone to go to dosa place and try their food. Even if you have never had a dosa after trying one here you will soon be craving it often and not be able to get enough. read more
