We used to go to this place before Covid and liked the food, but today we ordered take out for first time and loved the food. Food was good and was packed properly so that it would not get soggy. We will definitely order from there again. Thanks Hillside Dosa Hut for wonderful dinner. Jinesh read more

Sometimes the best things in life happen on the spur of the moment. I popped into Dosa Hutt to check out the menu. After chatting with the owner, who is one of the kindest people you'll meet, he suggested a dish and it was excellent. The location is convenient with street parking. It's very clean and has an amazing energy. The spices are delicate and not overpowering and the portion looks huge but it's so good that before you know it, it's all gone. This was a real treat! read more

Very bad service. I went over there and they served rotten curd. And when I told them they were not ready to accept it. Owner started licking curd. So bad service and he don't even sorry. I won't suggest anyone to go over there. read more

LOVE THIS PLACEEEEE !!! And so friendly. Try the dahi batata puri, u won't be let down. read more

The dosas here are delicious! I've had the mushroom cheese and onion chili masala dosas so far. And the medhu vada is the best I've ever had...somehow they manage to get the outside a little crispy and it is so good. Of the sambar, coconut, and tomato chutneys, the tomato chutney is my favorite. Masala chai is also very good. The staff is always helpful, fast, and polite. There's always a manager there who takes the time to personally engage w customers. Ambiance is casual. This place is gonna be a habit for me! read more

I think they're under new management and I'm not impressed. The last time I was there the air conditioner was leaking water down from the ceiling onto us while we sat down to eat our food. I moved to a different seat, but most empty seats had the a/c right under it. Not pleasant! The read more

Great place to get a quick snack. Would recommend! Not the best dinning experience but it gets the job done.

Great south lndian food on hillside avenue. Chats are also fresh and tasty. Ambience is good and it doesn't feel crowded due to full glass wall on side. read more

best dosas i've ever had. reasonable prices. great place. we did the rava dosa w onion, masala uttapam and cheese dosa for our toddler. also idli and vada and masala chaat were great. read more

This place is my favorite South Indian restaurant. The environment is friendly, and the service is excellent. The food is very authentic with the use of exquisite masalas (spices). I highly suggest ordering the Paneer Bhurji Dosa and the Vada. The Sambhar most definitely did not disappoint. Will be returning to this place! read more

Just tried Hillside DosaHutt and we were not disappointed. The food was authentic southern Indian cusine and the employee that took our order patiently explained each item on the menu. We will def return to this great find read more

Good South Indian food. It's hole in the wall place. Dosa is the specialty dish. The coconut chutney was too sour and the Sambhar was missing any sign of vegetables. read more

Worst food So salty and watery I thought I had salt in my bloodstream by the time I left the place Won't be going back read more

Always a fantastic place to eat. The food is outstanding and the service is impeccable. I've been going here since 2015 and even though I moved further east, I still manage to get there on occasion. read more

Delicious Dosa and Rice dish with a Mango Lassi. Ask for yogurt if you order the Tamarind rice to cool off your taste buds! Everything was fresh an delicious and the Owner was very helpful to navigate a first timer through the menu. read more

Came here because I was really craving a masala dosa and it was so delicious. I don't think I've tried better coconut chutney and sambar than I have here. Also the samosas were great too. Will definitely come by again. You can't beat the prices and staff was very nice as well! read more

The staff makes me feel like family! Their dahi batata puri is the best I've had! Very friendly and welcoming. I visit at least once a week when the craving hits for paan puri read more

Hillside Dosa Hutt - Somosa chaat. Was good but needed more onions n wish had red sauce - Indian Near Me - Glen Oaks, New York

It was my first time to this place and decided to eat here based on the reviews but definitely the last time eating here. Here are my reasons 1. There is NO customer service. You go order yourself, throw your plate and go pay 2. The presentation is extremely messy as they give you the item and chutneys all in one plate so there is a moist chutney base on your dosa or uttapam. Gross 3. They give you sambar in a foam cup. A very small foam cup. Based on the reviews and owner's response the owner has mentioned about NO EXTRA CHARGE for sambhar, howerver I was charged 92c for the itty bitty tasteless Sambar. Definitely feel being lied to. 4. The podi Idli that we ordered came out burnt. Really? 5. To top all of these off there was hair in my food. I higly doubt the hygiene inside the kitchen. My friend and were saving our appetite to get it killed. Please DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS PLACE. read more

I have been eating here since they were in flushing (I think that's where they used to be, right by a mandir). So clearly I am a fan and very excited they are down the block now. Everything here is delicious. Did is simply AMAAAAZING. The ONLY ONLY gripe I have with this place is the fact that I order Vada to go, usually to take to a gathering, so I'll order about 15-20. The issue is they charge $4 PER VADA for such a large order because they count them as one order x15 or how many you order. Vada is fairly simple to make and they need to price large batches better. read more

This place is super busy which is odd because how good can a dosa be you ask? Well depending what you get its a usual dosa or insanely good. Case in point: husband gets masala dosa (dosa with potatoes stuffed into the cavity). I got the rava onion cheese dosa (yea they freaking put cheese in this mofo with a side of tomato sauce)-heaven. So yea now I see why this place is so popular! read more

Intended on going here for dinner tonight. I googled it and saw that it was open until 10 pm. I drove past it and it was completely closed- lights off and doors shut. This was at 8 pm. Are they permanently closed? If so, put up a sign. read more

I'm so glad that hillside has embraced its South Asian ethnic identity and what can complete that profile other than an authentic dosa restaurant. The dosa is made in front of you so you can keep your eyes on hygiene practices which is a plus. I ordered the butter masala dosa, the regular masala dosa and the tamarind rice. The rice was amazing! The dosa was good although I'd suggest that the chef considers reinventing the potato mashed filling. It lacked some key South Indian ingredients like curry leaves, mustard seeds, chilli powder, turmeric powder and it shouldn't be so watery. The potato fillings are generally a little bit dry. However, the sambar was awesome! The green chutney was fine. I'm giving this restaurant four stars considering the fact that I devoured my food within seconds and for a inchoate restaurant, it is doing well. The owner claimed that they might consider delivery option in the future so keep a look out for that. read more

Wonderful food and kind service. I highly recommend for affordable, good food! I got a masala soda and two vegetable samosa. They were both amazing. read more

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! Its the same store as the Dosa Hutt from Flushing, I asked LOL Portions are bigger here! The Masala dosa was amazing! It was stuffed with potatoes, they weren't stingy lol. Coconut chutney and sambar are heavenly. Red Chutney compliments the coconut chutney. 5/5 Mango Lassi was AMAZING!!!! One of the best I've had. 5/5 Pani Puri was pretty good ! It was refreshing, and crispy. 4/5 read more

Like all good street foods, it's easy to make a Dosa tasty, but rare to make it perfect. Most of the time, it's either a throat-scratcher, a bit crackly and overdone...or a wet sponge, losing its shape too quickly to be easily eaten with your fingers. The dosas here are as close to perfect as you can get: soft enough to bend, but with just the slightest bit of crunch at the end. Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior, this place is the real deal. Easily the best five dollar meal I've had in a long, long time. read more

Great addition to the area. So far everything is very tasty. The textures are right and the food is fresh. Very friendly service and simple nice interior. read more

Hillside Dosa Hutt - Rava onion masala dosa - Indian Near Me - Glen Oaks, New York

Glad there's finally another option for dosa. This isn't as good as Dosa Hut in flushing but the service is friendlier and much faster. Got a masala dosa which was pretty good. Cheap on the filling, found myself only having a few bites of potato and the rest was plain, which was lame. Also got the chocolate dosa which seemed to have a drizzle filling of Nutella. If you've had French desert crepes where it's packed with chocolate this is the opposite. Just a drizzle which sucks for $5 but eh you can't get chocolate anything at Usha so I guess that's a positive. Id come back only Bc they are nice and not as busy as the other two places on the same block Bc u know parking in the area sucks. read more

Hillside Dosa Hutt - Chocolate dosa, note lack of chocolate. Still not terrible - Indian Near Me - Glen Oaks, New York

Pretty decent dosa. I'll visit again. This is a good take out spot. You order at the counter and pay then receive your meal. It looks clean in the inside. Don't expect an upscale seating area. The food is served in styrofoam plates, cups and plastics spoons/knife/fork. It's cheap and perfect to order to go. read more

The puri is excellent, some of the best samosas I've had as well. The staff was very helpful and patient during our order - we are huge fans of the Indian buffets but novices at dishes from the southern region - and the portions were very generous! read more

This place is great, the food is fantastic, the people are friendly and helpful. Based on those items it is five stars. I will definitely be coming back again (many more times). The only reason for four out of five stars is MY FAULT. I was expecting a restaurant where we can sit down and be served with real silverware and napkins etc... This is not the case. It is more like a fast food restaurant. This was my fault and not theirs. I did not know what kind of restaurant it is. You order at a counter and then either pick up your food or they bring it to you (almost like a fast food place or pizza shop). The plates are Styrofoam and the silverware plastic. . Now to the good. Now that I understand the type of restaurant it is I WILL be coming back over and over again. I kept hearing about Dosas and had no idea what it was so I had to try it and this place got good reviews. There were so many kinds. The people that worked their took the time to explain what each one was (different "shells" and different stuffing) and then asked us what we liked. They then recommended two different ones. The first one was great and the second one was better. The staff was even helpful after we got our food. They told us about the different sauces and the other items that were served with the food. They warned us as to what was spicy and what was sweet and even how to eat them (what to dip what into). If you are like me and did not understand what a Dosa is let me explain in a non-technical way. I apologize if this is technically incorrect. A Dosa is an Indian Quesadilla. There is a round shell that is loaded with stuffing (this place was vegetarian) and then folded in half so it looks like half a circle. In this restaurant you have your choice of shells (I think there were thee types) and MANY stuffings, It is then served with some sauces to be eaten with it. Do not forget to try the Ginger Beer - It is non alcoholic (like a combination of Ginger Ale and Root Beer). It is extremely tasty and even though it is not diet you can see on the can that it is relatively low in calories I cannot wait to go back and work my way through the whole menu. . read more

So I decided to give this place one more shot. I had come here with my family about a year ago and we ordered many items off of the menu back then. The food was terrible, there is no other word to describe it. Today I said maybe they learned a few things in the last year so I went there for an early dinner. The food was edible but not anything to write home about. The idli and rava appetizer was about average and the mysore masala dosa was meh as well. I am amazed that a good S. Indian Dosa Pl. does not exist in this area. So far the best spot is the dosa Hutt in Hicksville. That is about a 35 mile drive for me, but it is well worth the trip given the options in Queens. read more

Crispy Rava masala dosa, samosas were amazing, and pani puri are to die for. Service was great, owner was very attentive and food came fresh and fast. My new go to dosa spot. Definitely worth the trek all the way from queens. read more

If you have never had dosa, I highly recommend you try your first one here. The owner and staff are very gracious and eager to help you with your order, in case you have trouble deciding like we did. I ordered the ghee (butter) masala dosa and the onion chili masala dosa. Both delicious and surprisingly filling. Inside the rolled or folded crepe-like shell is a medium-sized mound of spiced, flavorful mashed potatoes Dip em into either the 2 chutneys or the sambar (lentil) soup! also, no utencils here! which we had no problem with at all but still giving you a head's up. I plan to stop by again! read more

The Rava onion Masala dosa is great but, I don't agree with all these reviews about the sambol and coconut sambol that comes with it. It was watered down and not really tasty. read more

Loved the dosas here, Ordered the cheese rava onion dosa which was fantastic..:-) Almost reminds me of one that i had back in India. Hope they add more seats and start a home delivery option as well. read more

I always order take out dosas from here and it's great! The dosas are delicious and come with tomato sauce and a chutney. The mango lassis are also very delicious. The food usually doesn't take too long to be prepared making it great for takeout or dine in. It's a simple looking place but great dosas! read more
