Hands down, this is one of the best South Indian restaurants in the Seattle area. I've tried South Indian food at so many places but nothing comes close to Madras Dosa Corner. Everything is always fresh and full of authentic flavors. The dosas are perfectly crispy, the idlis and vadas are perfectly soft, the sambar is delicious, and their mini podi idlis are absolutely amazing. Every dish tastes comforting. If you're looking for authentic, soulful South Indian food, this is the place to go. read more

I had the non-veg thali and paneer masala dosa. Everything was absolutely delicious and the flavors were fresh and tasted authentic. The sambal, coconut chutney, and red lentil curry paste with the dosa was incredible. Dosa was crispy, hot, and aromatic. Serving size was huge and reasonable for the price. The thali comes with a sourdough pancake, thin crispy chickpea flatbread, and a huge assortment of sides. Easily shareable between 2 people and loved how the pancake had a slight tang and paired so well with the sides. My favorites here were the chicken thigh curry, yellow lentil curry, and an orange lentil paste that seemed to consist of ground nuts as well. I was less a fan of the fried red chicken that came with it - I think it could have used more flavor, but honestly everything was tasty. read more

I have been to the Madras Dosa corner a couple of times and all the dishes I have had by far are delish. The owners and servers are polite, helpful and served us hot sambar when the one served to us was cold. Vegetarian and non vegetarian flare here is scrumptious and a filter coffee helps to chug it all down. Plenty of parking spots available. Do reach ahead of time for securing a spot, there's always waiting! (Especially in case of larger groups) read more

Stopped by in the evening and had the Combo 2, which comes with a medu vada, single idly, and mini masala dosa. The filter coffee was excellent, and the dosa was the standout item for me. The idly and vada were okay but nothing special. The chutneys and sambhar were quite good and complemented everything well. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd definitely like to go back and try more items from there. read more

We reached there 7 mins after it opened, and there were people seated and ordering!! Within minutes the place became full and super busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience is quite minimalist.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is vast with adequate options in both veg and non veg to choose from. The food was delicious. We ordered idli (tasty, light), filter coffee (okayish), chicken roast (bone in pieces, yummy prep, flavorful), podi ghee masala dosa (tasty but potato was relatively a bit less), benne dosa (flavorful), onion rawa dosa and ghee masala rawa dosa (tasty and very filling). Service was a bit slow but to be fair it was very busy. Had a great experience, would like to try out more of their food items in future. read more

The service is pretty quick, and prices are great for the serving size of the dosas. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is not much but that's not why you go to places like this you go for the dosas![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were over 100 types of dosas. Maybe I just didn't get the right one for myself, but I didn't like the mysore paneer masala dosa that much. I did like the curry leaf masala dosa though. Maybe it's because I don't drink too much coffee but the filter coffee was really really better. I had to add at least two packets of sugar to make it drinkable. Might go again just to try the other types of dosas see if there are others that I liked. read more

Excellent quality of food as expected from the experience we have from the Issaquah branch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mill creek (Bothell) branch is very small and congested which I heard from the owner that they are planning to fix it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That will be a major relief. The next major problem this branch has is the service, especially the cashier. The guy with the cap (most of the times) at the cashier is very rude, providing wrong information to the customers, throwing attitude and not willing to help. He almost seems that he is not interested in working and ruining the experience for customers. read more

Always a favorite spot but with recent visit, do see a change in the quality. The ghee podi dosa is always a favorite and still continues to be so. However other items aren't as flavorful. Ordered the ghee podi mini idlis and podi lacked salt and taste. Sambaar was hot and delicious. Vada and sambar combination was really good. Aloo bonda wasn't as tasty this time around and even the service was very slower than usual. Highly recommend ghee podi dosa, sambaar rice and filter coffee out of the entire menu. read more

I like this place! Excellent food. Come here with friends who order everything and I just eat and enjoy. The paper dosa is huge - so fun! The regular masala dosa is my go to. Also large and so delicious with the chutneys. Service is fast as well. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Madras Dosa Corner - Indian Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

Visited Madras Dosa Corner for lunch over a weekday. It was not very busy (as it is usually for dinner and over weekends). We ordered their Plantain Bajji, Combo 1 (Idly, Vada, Kesari and Mini Masala Dosa), Combo 2 (Pongal, Vada and Dosa), Keema Mutton Dosa, Chicken Kothu Parotta and Tea. The Plantain Bajji was fantastic - hot, flavorful, not oily and freshly made - exactly how you get in Tamil Nadu. Items on both the combos were great, freshly cooked, and delicious. The Mutton Keema Dosa was the best; it was made with egg and minced goat curry. The minced goat curry was delicious - not too spicy and goes very well with pretty much any thing. It was the highlight of our whole meal. We got the Chicken Kothu Parotta as take out (couldn't take pictures). The Kothu Parotta was more on the spicier side. The Chai (tea) was fresh and flavorful, goes very well with the hot Plantain Bajji. Overall great lunch and will definitely visit again. Thank you for the great service! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is the type of place you come to for the food, not the ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you go here, order the South Indian food options, because that's what's good and it's a South Indian place so that's what they do well. Honestly, this is the type of place where while you are eating you can't help but wonder if they got someone's grandma in the back making all the food. The South Indian dishes taste authentic and homemade, from scratch. Another plus is that the service is great, the people there are super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, the lack of ambience is indirectly proportional to kid friendliness here. They have a good kids menu, and your kids can be loud, and it's all good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Everything is good! Just great food, presentation may not be amazing but flavor is on point. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was well recommended and was shocked to find the place totally full 15 mins after opening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Massive dosas that are sure to impress. A must try! Notably there's a yogurt drink with herbs (neer moru), it was interesting. Not sure I would get it again as I'm pretty unfamiliar with the taste but everyone else was getting it so I gave it try. It's like tart with a taste of green onion in it. read more

We tried the mini idlis in sambar and they were hot and tasty, though the sambar was a bit too sweet for my liking. The veg kothu paratha was flavorful, but the texture was unexpected, more like a mashed-up upma. The service was good.This place is ideal for breakfast or tiffin items.Will definitely try their Dosa's and filter coffee next time. Price: Mini Idli in Sambar: $9 (Serves 1) Veg Kothu Paratha: $13.50 (Serves 2) Parking is Available. read more

We came on a really fun day--pongal! We were lucky to have a pongal thali and try pongal for the first time. Creamy comfort with lots of ghee. I'm less familiar with Tamil food than other S. Indian, so I had a great time trying so many dishes. Coconut curry and turmeric rice were standouts. Their regular menu has an impressive list of giant crispy dose. We tried curry leaf chutney potato masala dose and it was delicious. Not everything is equally exceptional (the tomato chutney wasn't quite right and the chai was not flavorful) but overall, the huge variety of dishes and quality of the dose will draw me back any time I'm in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service fast and friendly, and food came out fast, even when the restaurant was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Madras Dosa is a great little Indian restaurant located in a pretty quiet strip mall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They've been on my bookmarks for a very long time and I was excited to finally work my way in! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got there in the afternoon and it was already a full house with some people waiting for a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thankfully there was a 2-top open so we were seated quickly. Service was friendly and pretty quick, especially with a full house! I opted for my fairly usual order - paneer pakoda, garlic naan, and malai kofta. Everything was really good and I'd absolutely go back! After I ordered I kinda felt like something was missing...spice level is something I'm usually asked, but not here. Seems like they have a default and you get what you get. No complaints - I thought it was a great level though I would have gone a little hotter if the option were there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're going to dine in don't be me and be mindful of your table space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually take photos, but there are none for Madras Dosa. Why? Well, first it started with 2 beers (bottles and the glasses) with the pakoda. Manageable, no worries. Then comes the naan and the 2 dishes and their rice and the next thing you know there is zero room on the table and I'm trying to be creative about how to make it work! I wasn't even thinking about photos while I was there, I was just trying to keep everything on the table!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]You might feel a little packed in if you go at a busy time since everything is close together, but it's a great place to grab a meal![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Just finished visiting the Troll over at Rainier Trail and were ready for dinner so we Yelped Indian food and found Madras Dosa Corner nearby with decent reviews so we went there. We were fairly inexperienced with ordering Dosas so the very nice waiter helped us a lot and recommended several things from the menu. We began with the Idli Vadai which was a donut shaped appetizer with a savory dipping chutney, then had the Onion Pakoda which was like french fried onions that you normally see on top of a green bean casserole for Thanksgiving. This also had a chutney dipping sauce with it. For our main courses, we had the Onion Rava Masala Dosa and a Mysore Masala Dosa. I believe the Mysore was the one that came triangle shaped and had some mild spice inside of it. Each dosa had a serving of potato and vegetable filling inside it which was tasty. The dosas came with 3 different chutneys as well. Then the server who brought out our food made a mistake and brought us out two other plain dosas that were meant for another table. We told the waiter when he came to check on us and he realized what had happened so he just compted those two extra dosas for us. Needless to say, we had a few leftovers good for another meal. This place had a fair amount of customers as we ate and service was pretty good for us. I liked the food as trying new things is one of my mantras this year and this was all new to me. It was fun to get something other than Tikka Masala or Tandoori meats for a change. I recommend trying this place. read more

**vegetarian review** I found madras dosa corner to be average. It's very reasonable prices and good portions but the flavours are off. Not the best sambar or chutney or podi. The service was quick but I prefer other South Indian places more. read more

Can't speak enough great things about this place. The servers, the food, their innovation!! Every time we come here, we are greeted with smiley faces. They have started Happy hour now but we are yet to explore it. My all time favorites are their coffee, onion rava masala dosa, podi utappa and Pepper chicken. Their masala soda is also nice ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They can get real busy during weekends so plan accordingly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They close at 2:30/3 pm depending on the day and Tuesdays they are closed. Shout out to Sai who is their best host!! Owners are also awesome people. I am pleased that even when they have so much traffic, they don't quit from exploring new dishes every weekend. All their specials during the weekends have been a hit ! read more

Madras Dosa Corner - Combo - Idli Vadai Venpongal Ghee Masala Paper Roast - Indian Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

5/5 - kothu Paratha 4/5 - Podi Oothappam 3/5 - gobi 65 The kothu paratha is one of the best I had in the Seattle area. It is absolutely delicious with the right amount of spice. The podi Oothappam is good too but there is a lot of ghee in it. If you are someone who loves some authentic desi ghee this would be must try We were kind of disappointed with the gobi as it was too oily and tasted bland. Overall 2/3 dishes were pretty tasty so I would definitely go back again and give the other dishes a try ! read more

I was a little disappointed with this place. I had really high expectations but don't get me wrong - this place is still pretty good. It's just that in my opinion the service and food didn't do justice to Madras Dosa Corner's reputation. I came here with a large group and they were pretty fast in accommodating us. However they were slow and irregular with bringing our order. Few people got the order fast and few people waited close to 30 minutes. Talking about food, Dosa is excellent here. I tasted Onion Dosa and Mysore Plain/Masala Dosa - everything was top notch. Sambhar was excellent - possibly the best I tasted in Washington. What was not good was their Chickoo Milkshake (very average and felt stale) and every types of Kothu paratha. Both egg and chicken Kothu paratha were bland and average . read more

We ordered a couple of dishes to share. The kids enjoyed the chicken 65. All the other dishes were sub-par. Service was mediocre as well. Our server was pretty rude and didn't provide any good insight when we inquired about dishes on the menu. read more

This would be my top choice for Indian food in the seattle area. They predominantly have South Indian dishes on the menu and a few North Indian dishes. The flavors are quite authentic. I have been quite happy with my meal every time I went in. The dosas at this place are the hit. The service is quite good. They don't take reservations, it's first come - first serve. It can get crowded on weekends and Friday nights, so I recommend getting their early and putting your name on the waitlist. Highly recommend this place. read more

I came for lunch to try the ghee paper dosa roast, and it did not disappoint! It came out on a giant plate along with various sauces and chutneys and had a dollop of aloo bhaji (curried potatoes) inside. I also tried their masala chai, chicken 65, and others at the table had the chicken dosa and the chicken kothu parota. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Exceptionally good South Indian Food served with big smiles by some of the friendliest people in town. I was delighted with the service & the meal I had was delicious and very satisfying.

Come for the dosas. The ghee masala paper roast dosa is light, crispy and the ghee masala is a wonderful filling to go with the dosa. Also tried the podi idli which was crunchy and nutty. It went well with the dosa. The service was friendly and quick, the owner was great to speak with and offered some suggestions. I will definitely try other things on the menu next time. read more

A decent spot for South Indian Food. The Masala Dosa was pretty crispy, and the masala was pretty flavorful. My favorite item was definitely the Onion Pakoda. The Pakoda was perfectly spiced and perfectly crispy and was definitely the highlight of the place.

Came here to order to go with a friend. We were greeted right away and he gave us time to look over the menu. We both ordered the mt more masala dosa.

Everything was super spicy so if you don't like spice, don't order it. Lol Definitely coming back to try more! read more

We ordered the onion ghee pudi masala dosa, ghee masala paper roast dosa, parota kuruma, and sambar vada. We recommend all those items! The food came out super quickly, tasted fresh, and was very filling. The masala paper roast was super crispy and had a very flavorful filling. The onion ghee pudi masala dosa was not as crispy as the ghee masala paper roast, but the filling was extremely flavorful - we loved the onion crunch and flavor. We all loved what we ordered, the staff was very nice, so I would definitely recommend this place! read more

Madras Dosa Corner has become our regular weekend lunch spot. They have some really tasty food options. Ghee dosa, Onion rava masala dosa, Onion Podi Utappa, Pepper Chicken Curry are all unparalleled. I have rarely tasted a better dosa anywhere. And the filter coffee is *chef's kiss* In addition, they have regular specials which all have turned out to be tasty too. I like the fact they keep experimenting with various things. Not to mention their staff (Sai, Nelson, Drishti) are very friendly and they always greet us with a smile. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have plenty of seating but it can get crowded during the weekend, so there's occasionally a wait time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is well worth the wait though! read more

We went there for lunch and had the best service. Their Dosas were very authentic and was well prepared per back home style n

Decent and affordable South Indian Food. We ordered Vada and Idli Combo. The idli was fluffy and better as compared to Vada The Masala Dosa was good, flavorful and worth the price. However, Masala Dosa was better than Ghee Podi Masala Dosa Note - Filter coffee was average. (can be skipped) Tip - If you are planning to visit this place for breakfast or lunch during weekends, I would suggest to go between 11:30 am - 12 pm. After 12 pm be prepared to wait for a bit read more

Was my first time at this place with my family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Got seating fast but the place is not very tidy enough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Order was taken fast and delivered to the table in fairly good time but the dish I ordered for the youngest member was delayed as if forgotten. After reminding several times the food was served when everyone on the table was done eating. My kid had tears in eyes as he waited so long and did not like the tase of food. I might not go back again as the food was not a WOW factor except chicken 65 appetizer. read more

Went here with friends after a hike for lunch. All of us liked their dosas! Not sure if I was fond of their red chutney and sambhar, but the coconut chutney was good. Tried the old monk beer! Their buttermilk was tasty. We again ordered filter coffee in the end, was really good. Our friend's 2 year old kid loved their dosas and finished one whole herself. My husband ordered their goat keema soda and absolutely loved it. Highly recommend buying the banana chips that come in a box at the billing counter. They're thin and flavorful! Could buy a bigger quantity if they had. Great service overall. read more

Food is good but no one answers the phone, even when the place isn't busy. Makes it hard to get takeout.
