Since my original visit where we were let down by almost everything besides the Dosa, we have visited Dosa Spot quite a few times. Since then, we have consistently enjoyed our experience here. While the Dosas are still the hightlight, they have improved the Idli and Medhu Vada as well (even though the Idli disintegrated too quickly). Dosa Spot has now become our go-to place for Dosas in Jersey City. I still wouldn't go back for North Indian fare but both the plain Dosa, Masala Dosa, and Rava Masala Dosa are all excellent options as are the beverages, from the Buttermilk to the Mango Lassi to the Filter Coffee to the Masala Chai. read more

We went to eat Masala Dosa at Dosa Spot last week. Masala cooked with heavy oil, potato was not fully cooked, even the Dosa was dark and over cooked. I asked the name of chef at the cashier. She said his name is Mohan. The owner should train the kitchen staff to make quality control. Frequent customer read more

Located in a fairly nondescript corner of the Newport Centre Mall, Dosa Spot happens to be the only South Indian spot in this part of Jersey City. Very strange. Knowing that, we were still craving some dosas after a fun and productive weekend. The Onion Rava Masala Dosa is my go-to and I could not resist trying that alongside the mango lassi. The mango lassi wasn't too special, but it helped quench the thirst a bit. The dosa itself has its good and bad moments: 1) The masala (potatoes) , which was atypically on top of the dosa, was honestly pretty tasty. Great quantity too. 2) The chutney was good, but perhaps a pretty large quantity. I had a hard time finishing it. 3) The sambar was good and the right quantity. However, it did have a pretty good kick to it. Fortunately, the chutney helped offset that. 4) The dosa itself was a slight bit disappointing, but with some important caveats. I felt the batter needed the onions marinated in it a bit more. Felt like the onions were kinda added to the top of the batter, leaving an uneven taste across the dosa. It did feel a bit dry at times due to the lack of onion. Red onion - while sometimes a necessity - doesn't hit the same as white onion with these dosas. I wasn't able to finish the entire dosa. Now the important caveat is that this is a mall outlet and you don't have the luxuries of other South Indian establishments, especially in the suburbs near me. As a result, I don't think this is a bad place to grab dosas or get your South Indian fix. It just won't be my absolute best dosa place. read more

Dosa Spot inside Newport Mall is probably the only decent place in the mall when you're really hungry. They also bring their food truck to our community once a week, which is a nice bonus. The food is flavorful and satisfying -- their coconut chutney is our absolute favorite! I usually prefer soft dosas, and they make them exactly the way I like. The filter coffee is also really good. The food doesn't take long time to arrive which is a plus and ambience is quite decent. Overall, a solid spot to satisfy your cravings without being heavy on the pocket. read more

Nice and crispy masala dosa with good flavor to the crepe, potatoes, and sambhar. The coconut chutney was very fresh and light. I was disappointed they ran out of the rava dosa on a Friday night. Also the portions are a bit smaller for the price compared to other dosa places. read more

Not bad at all especially for an Indian dosa restaurant in the Newport mall. I ordered the Masala Dosa and very tasty, just the right amount of spice. Friendly service, expect a short wait during lunch hour can get busy here. You know it's good dosas when 99% of its customers are from India! read more

I'd recently had the opportunity to enjoyed a yummy meal at The Dosa Spot; it's a new addition in NewPort's Mall (Jersey City). Their menu was attractive and tempting with so many varieties of dosa. I'd ended up ordering their Onion Mysore Masala Dosa. It was a short wait before my Onion Mysore Masala Dosa arrived. And I'd devoured it with thankfulness immediately. Their Onion Mysore Masala Dosa totally hit the spot. It was a bit spicy, but manageable. The dosa texture was crispy on the outside and had a nice softness to it that'd allowed your fingers to slowly tear it into small portions. Their was crushed potato filling located about 1/2 inch inside of my crispy golden wrapped dosa. I was totally impressed with how flavorful the potato filling was. I'd appreciated the spices and deliciousness of the red onion. This was my first time trying a Onion Mysore Masala Dosa. And because I thoroughly enjoyed the fluffiness and deliciousness of the Onion Mysore Masala Dosa I'd neglected to try the two sauces they'd served. Hopeful my review motivates you to explore the Dosa Spot if/when in NewPort's Mall. read more

A good Indian restaurant to visit inside of Newport Mall. For me it is fixed that every time I'll be going AMC, Dosa Spot is a mandatory stop for me. Pure vegetarian, decent seating, quick and good service. The menu has a lot to offer and they also make vegan food. I ordered Vada dipped in sambhar. The vada was crispy and sambhar was delicious. That became my instant favorite at the restaurant. Secondly, I ordered Onion-Tomato Uttapam. Well cooked and tasty. The only drawback I felt was sambhar is limited and if you've to get more you've to pay, which is uncommon at most of the places. They serve a second round of sambhar for free. So if you're going for Idli-Vada combo the sambhar is very limited. Lastly, I ordered filter coffee. They have two options 4oz and 8oz. The coffee comes with sugar. The place is clean and following all necessary Covid related norms. All the best to the Dosa Spot team. Keep up the good work. read more

Dosa Spot - Onion Rava Masala Dosa - we were told it has potato masala, cannot find it though - Food Trucks Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I always pass by this spot in the mall, and had been meaning to try it. The recent cold weekend was the perfect time. I ordered an onion mysore masala dosa and shared it with my boyfriend. It was huge, flavorful, and filling. I am not sure the raw onion was worth an extra dollar though. In the middle of our meal, my boyfriend got a mango lassi, and the pricing wasn't listed, so we were surprised at the high price of $8. It tasted mostly like yogurt, and the mango flavor was very subtle. Despite the rather high price, the food was tasty and I'm glad I finally stopped by. read more

We ate at the dosa spot food truck today and food was just amazing. Very authentic and tasty South Indian food. Taste was closest to what we used to eat in Bangalore. The owner Raghu was very welcoming. We are from San Jose which has a plethora of South Indian restaurants and this was better than what we ate in Bay Area restaurants. read more

I ordered Podi Idli, Madam and Large Coffee from the Truck that comes to Beacon. Idli was average, Large coffee was Smaller than Dunkin Cup. The Vada was sour. The batter must have been atleast 2 days old. On top of it, the truck guys wanted Cash . The whole experience and food was awful. read more

Hit or miss. The first time we had idlis and chai, it was awesome!!! The second time it was ok. The chai is exceptionally good. The good thing is it's all fresh. Make sure to ask what they have on the menu. Not everything is available. read more

Store is run by idiots. Owner is absolutely revolting. We mentioned that the tables have sharp edges because as we sat down it poked one of us hard enough to cut skin. Through a thick shirt! We brought the table edge to the attention of the owner in hopes that they could try and resolve it so no one in the future gets cut. Instead the owner started arguing, blaming us for not being careful. TO THE OWNER: Clearly you have zero business sense. Next time a customer brings up a concern, two sentences: "Thank you. We will try to fix it the best we can, as soon as we can." END OF STORY. That would have kept a customer and avoided a pointless argument. I have pictures of the cut as well. I will make it my sole mission in life to make sure nobody I know or meet in the future will EVER even walk past your store front. Good luck- mark my words, this store will be gone in less than 6 months, since the owner clearly can't run a business. Oh - by the way - the food also sucks. Dosas are mediocre and WAY overpriced. Everything else we ordered was cold and stale. Filter coffee is fine. Reply to me, I dare you. read more

The truck hangs out on Friday nights in Newport area. There is usually a long line, a very long line. I thought they are really busy, so must be good. I stood in the line twice and left both times having waited for more than 25 minutes. Line hardly moved. The service is extremely slow, not worth waiting for 45-60 minutes to get one dosa. Don't. Take phone orders. Am sure the Dosas taste good, but if they don't work on increasing the speed of service, it will not last long (specially with winter setting in couple months, people can't stand in cold for too long) Good luck read more

They serve Authentic South Indian Dosa and filter coffee. I've tried multiple items on the menu spanning over a few weeks and the food has always been consistent. The dosa is accompanied with sambar and chutney. The chutney is good but sambar can be better! The coffee is a must try! Check their Facebook page to find out their schedule and location. read more

This hit the spot, 100% on a bright sunny evening at Exchange Place, JC! The filter kaapi reminded me of Brahmin's Coffee Bar in my hometown of Bangalore! read more

It's a good tasty Dosa Diner joint. Value for money. Quick and relaxing. Great Indian food restaurant.

Yes the queues are long and its a bit of a wait to finally get the order. But the food was heaven sent in the midst of COVID to newport in the form of a Dosa Truck. The Dosa are abaolutely amazing the chutney is to die for! The filter coffe is amazing!! Ive never actually been able to get a hand on the rava dosa! But the Idlis and vadas are pretty darn good. Ive stood in the rain for an hour. So dont question me whether it was worth it or not. But yeah they could try and speed up the service a bit given that most of the items are ready to go or pre made... read more

I come from the Dosa land. The dosa is small for the price and the chutney is wattery. Disappointed. I would rather go to the Indian street on Journal Square for a good dosa amd authentic chutney that is not nickel and dimed. Coffee was microwaved. It was good though. read more

Hello, Please help. I don't know how or why, but every time someone calls the business number 201-912-6041, it is directed to my cell phone here in California. I called AT&T they don't understand why this is happening. Please ATTN owner of this business get your phone checked out. I have received 40 calls in the past 3 days asking me for Indian Food orders. read more

The dosas are highly overrated, not worth the wait at all. He told me that the wait time will be 1 hour but I ended up waiting for 2 hours. The place is very unorganized. Plus Raghu, the owner is an extremely rude person. read more

The dosas are good, the accompanying coconut chutney and sambar are pretty tasty and have the right consistency. Usually the chutney is watered down in most places but not here. The only reason i didnt want to give five stars is because of the location, dont get me wrong, Exchange place is a great place to hang out and eat a dosa but this place is windy, always! Its never comfortable enough to hold on to your plate and you end up doing a balancing act, all the while twisting and turning to try and get the wind behind your back. If he could move a couple of blocks further away from the river, im sure it would be a much better experience. I will eat there again, because this is one of the very few spots that does dosas right. read more

Really good masala dosa with sambar and green chutney. They served good filter coffee too. Enjoyed it. Must try.

Amazingly tasty and crispy dosa But check before you go if it's open. We always love it here

Okay, this is by far my FAVORITE place to get some South Indian grub. Excellent Mysore masala Dosa (well spiced palya, spicy coconut chutney, good sambar) for only 7$. They offer filter coffees for 1$ (the guy asked me if I wanted it strong or medium, and that itself was exciting for me! Btw - obvious choice : STRONG!) The service is slow but that is only because it is only one person taking care of stuff. You know..you need to have a "we are hiring" board on your truck!). Next suggestion is to please update your website with accurate locations and timing. I would really stop by ALL THE TIME if only I knew where and when Dosa Spot would be located! You could even set the VM on the phone # listed on Yelp to reflect your day's location & time. read more

I'm very excited to see a dosa food truck in Jersey City! We visited the Dosa Spot on Washington Street in the Newport area yesterday and the food was on point. All ingredients were fresh from chutneys to sambar. Spices and flavors were well-balanced and the "filter coffee" was delicious. The owner took pride in his process which he explained he learned early on from his mother in South India. Pricing was very reasonable! We are looking forward to having more of the Dosa Spot soon! read more

Long overdue review of Dosa Spot. I was a regular when the truck was in Newport. Very authentic Mysore Masala Dosa and Filter Coffee - by far the best I've eaten in the US. The owner Ragu is very friendly and I highly recommend you try their Dosas. read more

Rip off for the food provided in terms of quantity and taste.Dont expect to fill even a light appetit with a dosa,you need at least 3 to make a normal size.False marketing and overfluous reviews by some here.Too small even for a breakfast snack,avoid for lunch etc read more

Dosa was great bt too much wait.. they should plan on increasing workforce as there is huge demand for Raghu's dosas and coffee.

Horrible quality. Better off going to journal square. This place survives because of the location. Not because they have good food.

Finally a place where you get authentic Karnataka-style dosas in the area. Taste and texture of the masala dosa are amazing; deep red color, not too thick, but not papery either (like most other south Indian styles of dosas). The potato-onion palya is freshly made and pops of flavor. The highlight is the chutney, which is the right degree of spice and consistency to dip your dosas in. To finish the meal off, the filter coffee is unlike anything else available in the area. read more

Ordered the potato dosa. It was light, fluffy & had a nice kick of spice that was hot but not overbearing. Loved it. read more

Perfect dosa and great filter coffee! Very happy and shall definitely come back again! :)

Nice to have a dosa truck in the area. The truck is only around on weekends and the place to find them is near the exchange place path station on Montgomery street. When we went there was no masala dosa and only mysore masala and set dosa were available. They also had a chicken option available which was interesting. Had the mysore masala which was good and came with Sambhar n chutney. Prices seem to have gone up since we first saw them in the area. read more
