This really is a gem of a place! I come to NJ every year and insist on coming to this restaurant! The amount of food you get for the price is outstanding! 2 mini dosas (not really that mini), and 2 idli for $11? It can't be beat - top it off with unlimited sambhar and you're in for a treat Although the service leaves something to be desired, you can't really expect much with prices like this - its streamlined but they don't cut corners when it comes to taste! I'll definitely be back, again and again! read more

No frills, authentic South Indian spot with solid food. We were in the area and my friends were craving dosas so we decided try this out. It's not a fancy spot by any means, but when you come here, you come here food and not ambience. Got the masala and onion rava dosas and medu vada. Everything was super tasty and enjoyed the unlimited refills on sambhar. Overall a nice spot to get satisfy those South Indian food cravings. read more

Hired them for my daughters 1st birthday party at a brewery, and they were so easy to work with and book. They take Venmo and Zelle, two employees came in the morning to set up on the day of the party and served amazing fresh made dosas and sambhar. Also ordered a few side items - but dosas and sambhar are a must. Highly recommend working with them. They had 5 + various dosas made for all of my guests. Everyone was happy full and satisfied. Even my picky 4 yo was full. Gluten free and vegan friendly! read more

Sri Dosa Place - Special kiddie dosa - Indian Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

I picked up dosa and uttapam and it was not worth 20 Mins drive. I threw away the uttapam after one bite because it was made in bad oil that reeked. Dosa was mediocre read more

Great place for authentic Southern Indian Cuisine. I have been here twice for their Thursday night buffet. This includes a buffet spread full of different chutneys, idly, vegetable curries, fried fare, sambhar, and rice. You can also order any dosa, rava dosa, and uttapam from their normal menu, as much as you want! All this for only $12! Besides the dosa everything is self serve. On the latest visit we came with a large group, 15 of us total. Due to the restaurant lay out we had to break off into two different groups. It gets really busy here after 7, so I would suggest coming right when the buffet starts at 6 to beat the crowds. The dosa is prepared very quickly... once you're able to get a hold of a waiter to take your order. There are so many different options of fillings, and the batter is cooked to a satisfying crispiness. I also enjoy the spicyness of all their different curries and chutneys. The sambhar will warm your insides on a cold rainy day. There are pitchers of water left at each table and you can also grab a cold beverage from a fridge. Paying is also easy, as you just go to the cashier and pay per person/group, no need to fumble around with a check and tipping. Just make sure to clear your table and throw your garbage away in the back. The only reason for 3 stars is due to service and restaurant cleanliness/amenities, otherwise 5 stars for the food! read more

Came here with my fam for the first time. My parents love this place but for me it was meh. The sambar is very good but not a huge fan of their coconut chutney or tomato chutney. The tomato chutney is yellow and tastes weird. The coconut chutney needs to be more grinded in my opinion. I had amazing coconut chutney before and this is a 4 out of a 10. Their Dosa is okay. I got the rava masala chilli dosa which I thought was not done well. read more

Stopped by here for lunch while traveling and was completely blown away by the taste of the dosas. Not to mention the free self serve sambars that they offer which I've done multiple refills on. The vada donuts were unbelievably good as well. In addition, I ordered some huge puris with potato soup which I couldnt finish since I was so full so I gave it to my family member. Hope to stop by here again. read more

Been here with friends, we ordered few items everything was good and people are welcoming and helpful. The place is decent. Some times u need to wait for sometime. read more

**Vegetarian Friendly** I have never seen a menu with so many dosa options! They have a special of 3 mini dosas for $9, which is the best deal on their menu! The mini dosas aren't as "mini" as you would think, and one dish is definitely big enough to share. A The outside may not look impressive, but the food is as authentic as you can get it! read more

It's nice take out place not very fancy. One can grab a quick meal. Reason for 3 stars the quality of some dishes and hygiene is not the best. I would recommend only dosas from here. read more

Not impressed. As a native of the Ganesh Temple Canteen, Dosa Hutt & House of Dosa in New York - I've got a pretty high bar set for the standard of dosa I expect. Service was lacking, samar was bland, flavor was absent & overall a lot could have improved. I tried the paper masala dosa. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

Our favorite place to get dosa in New Jersey. It seems they have expanded their menu but we stick to our favorite dosas. My go to is always a masala dosa. It comes with coconut chutney, peanut chutney and bottomless sambar. Everything has great taste with the right amount of spice. Come here for a no frills South Indian meal. read more

Sri Dosa Place - Worst food - Indian Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

We got masala dosa and medu vada. The medu vada was soggy and the dosa was not crispy either . I would not recommend having dosa here

Delicious Idlies! Fast and efficient service. Modest ambiance is more than compensated by the tasty food.

We ordered dosa and medu vada. The vada was soggy and felt like microwaved. The dosa was not crisp either. I would not recommend eating here

This is a small unassuming eatery with a big taste. As much as I enjoy Indian food I never had dosa. It looks huge and I didn't think I'd finish it all. Well I ate here about two weeks ago on a Saturday and I still didn't order a dosa. My niece ordered it and I tried it. Delicious. I ordered a sweet lassi and poori koorma. The flavors were those of warm comfort. The staff were kind and explained a few dishes and options. I was craving their food like two days later. What a hidden gem. I'll definitely be back. read more

Okay, so I have a few tips. Their dosa selection is HUGE. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I personally ordered the chana masala dosa which was really good. I also got the masala chai which came out piping hot. Here's a tip, be wary of you go during winter. It was FREEZING. I don't know if they didn't turn on heating but I needed my jacket on the entire time. The prices are very reasonable. read more

Always like the fast service, many dosa choices and all full of flavor. You can eat as much as sambar you want is also a nice idea here. read more

My review would have been 4 stars if it was written two days back. Yesterday (12.02.20) me & my wife were there around 7 pm and experience was totally opposite of what we had expected based on our past visits. This young woman's attention was somewhere else - my coffee order was forgotten. My Dosa was cold by the time it was served. It came without Sambar & had to remind her to get it. By the time she brought it, I was done eating. It was sitting on their counter for quite some time because, the woman's attention was on serving someone she knew personally. She didn't answer (ignored)my questions about the order status. Unfortunately most of the Indian restaurants lack consistency & that is because of adequate staff training. I have met the owner of this place in past & urge him to focus on training his staff. For now, Sri Dosa is gone from my list. read more

Absolutely horrible place. We came in and patiently waited. Sat down ordered and four of our orders came and one came by the time we were all done. That is not acceptable. For the rest of the orders they didn't have the iconic white coconut chutny. When you order a dosa that is the most important thing. It's like serving a pizza without sauce. They were apparently out of it and were making it. By the time the chutny came our food was cold. Plus our other order came atleast 28 minutes after we got our food. The place it self is dirty and the workers don't care. The sambhar is unlimited and you pour your self but it is pasty sambhar with some powder. There are a million dosas places in the area, avoid this place. read more

Good food but confusing service. They need to pay more attention to customers. Ambiance could be improved.

Worth spending every penny here. Good food and good service. If you don't bother much about fancy ambience.. go for it. Used Groupon 20% cash back coupon. We had dosa, pao bhaji, idli, uttapam... everything was perfect!!! Unlimited free servings of sambar was "cherry on the top". Planning to go here whenever i am craving for southIndian food ( that happens daily) :P I must mention awesome coconut fresh chutney!!! read more

So i often visit this place, My Kids love Dosa there. 1 Peak time it is Crowded. Lucky to get table. 2 Fresh Dosa will be served at table. 3 You find a place to sit and they will come to get the order. 4 Self serve Sambar, you need to get it on your own. There is Pot in middle so get as many times you want. 5 Service is Fast - 10 min max I experienced. 6 Parking is free in front across the road. 7 Food - Dosa , Idli Vada is all we eat there and best read more

This is probably my and my sisters one of the fav place to have south indian dishes especially idling and dosa.... their 2 tier masala dosa is filling.... the staff is friendly and welcoming.... If the place gets busy then the service time is affected...apart from that the quality of the food is delicious and yummy. read more

Hands down the best place for not only dosas but any kind of food homely food . Their Thursday buffet is worth it with unlimited dosa and variety of chutneys . They also cater and we have picked up brunch to my work couple of times . I wouldn't suggest any place as this one for home food and dosas ! Very friendly staff :) Best picks : The combo deal Mixed idli Samosa chaat Masala idli Puri read more

This is one of the best place around for Dosa and South Indian dishes. Masala Dosa is the best dosa you can have and Sambhar is my favorite at this place. If you want to try different types of dosa then I would suggest order a plate with 3 dosa of your choice and its definitely worth it. read more

We decided to dine here as the place was fairly well rated. Oh my God what a disaster! The service is beyond terrible. We had to ask for our drinks 3 times and when the waiter finally bought the mango lassi he did not bring my wife's lassi. Let's move on to the food, take a look at the delicious Paw Bhaji photo attached. It looked like it was made days ago and tasted as such. The masala dosa was ok at best. The Pesarattu dosa was very good. All in all, I will not be going back as there are plenty of other options. read more

Probably one of the best restaurants in New Jersey for South Indian breakfast and evening snacks. Amazing Vada, Dosa and Idli varieties with some delicious home-style sambar and chutneys for accompaniment. It started off with one of us volunteering to arrange a social brunch at work for Diwali. Most south-east Asian restaurants in the area open after 11AM but an expanded radius search on Yelp brought this listing up. Called them up to confirm the specifics and as it turns out, they do open at 8AM from Tue-Sun and also do live catering (dosas on-site fresh off the griddle). No kidding! Despite the reasonably good reviews, it seemed like a good idea to try out the food first-hand prior to going forth with a food order serving 80+ colleagues so we ended up here Sunday morning for breakfast. The butter idli was incredible. Fluffy and moist on the inside with a nice sear on the outside. We had not tried this rendition of the steamed lentil-rice cake in more than a decade. Most restaurants in the US don't feature it on the menu and even on the occasions that we make it at home, we tend to eat it plain after it's steamed. In this case, they pan fry them with butter prior to serving. The result is anyone's guess. The medu vada (deep fried savory lentil donut) had a nice crisp bite to it and was very tasty. Turned out even better post-dunking into the sambar as it absorbed the spicy lentil soup flavor like a sponge. The Chilli-Onion Pesarattu was also very good. Pesarattu is a type of dosa that uses mung-bean (green gram) instead of split black lentils (urad dal) for the main batter ingredient. Their version had a nice traditional touch as they used ghee instead of oil to prep it on the griddle. The onion uttappam was a slight let down as it could have used another minute on the griddle. Quite good flavor wise but a tad sticky due to the batter not cooking through fully. Not a cause for a major complaint. Overall a solid 5 stars for flavor. One of the individuals who worked at the restaurant said that they make everything fresh and let quality speak for itself. Thanks to fellow Yelpers for shedding the spotlight on this restaurant. Not sure what one would do without Yelp. It's akin to traversing a food jungle without a guide or a map. read more

I go to this place very regularly and I absolutely love the food but I just had a HORRIBLE delivery experience with them. I placed my order for pick up by doordash at 11:00 am and at 1:30 pm I was still waiting for my order to be ready. They did not have the order ready when the dasher got there to pick it up, he waited for 10 minutes and left. Another dasher came, picked it up but doordash cancelled the order. They asked me to re-order, so I did. THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN!!! (Unbelievable). I called the restaurant and some guy answered the phone- I start to tell him about the whole situation and he starts yelling at me on the phone (Perfect!) I have placed an order, he didn't have it ready and now he has the audacity to yell at me. I tell him to calm down and that it's not my fault that this is happening, he should have had the order ready the first time around, but no! He takes it up a notch and tells me to come down there and says "I'll teach you how to talk. Don't tell me anything," and then HANGS UP! :) Oh also, it is 2:00 pm now and apparently the dasher is placing my order now. I've never had such a bad experience with any restaurant before and if they make a mistake, the have that basic courtesy to apologize and even compensate in some way for it rather than talk so rudely to the customer. Pretty sick and unacceptable. I hope this man's attitude gets fixed. read more

I was brought here by a friend who grew up eating dosas, and let me first say that the place had her complete approval. So you know it's legit! I had a mango lassi and a mango ginger onion masala dosa. The mango ginger part of the dish was subtle--Maybe it was baked into the actual bread of the dosa rather than the filling? Anyways, everything was very flavorful and delicious! I especially liked the coconut sauce that the dosa came with. For those who don't tolerate spicy food well, this food may be a challenge. But that just means that people who love spicy food will be very happy! What really brings this place from three stars to four is the staff and the prices. The staff were accommodating to our large group of seven in their small place and were happy to make suggestions. The prices are awesome--my fairly complex dosa was $6.50. If you're looking for some inexpensive Indian comfort food, definitely stop by! read more

I've been to this place a couple of times now and have also picked up takeout from here once. I think this place is a great contender for South Indian food. My favorite for years has been Dosa Express and this definitely gives them competition. The best part about this place is that they give you unlimited fresh, hot sambar! There's a big pot of it in a corner of the restaurant and you can self-serve as much as you want. The first time I went here, I ordered medhu vada but wasn't aware they serve it immersed in the sambar. Most places give the sambar on the side. They realized I didn't touch it when we were leaving and insisted on giving me a new order to go. Their customer service really amazed me. And since then, it has always been great. I thoroughly enjoy their idli, medhu vada, variety of dosas, and uttapam. Give this place a try if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed! read more

The food is good and approximately priced. Range of dosa's and other options. But most importantly they have excellent service. I recently plates an order through Grubhub, the driver didn't show up and the owner arranged for the delivery. Kudos for the service. read more

I grew up in a south Indian household, and I've been fortunate enough to travel to Bengaluru (bangalore) and Chennai (madras) many times in my life...I think this makes me pretty knowledgeable about what makes a good dosa, and how good dosa tastes. In the nyc area, there are so many great options - including Sri Dosa. Sri doesn't have more than 20 tables, and is definitely not a fancy sit down. The food comes out quick, and if you are lucky and arrive when the sambar is freshly made, youll be surprised by just how good it is (I think it's inconsistent though - first time we went the Sambar was too bland, second time perfect). -the chutneys they give you are also pretty fresh tasting, and the coconut chutney always seems great. That being said, the true star of the show here is naturally the dosa. There are SO many varieties, and I have been pretty impressed by how well they are made - not too big, thin and crispy, though there are thin crispy parts, not at all oily, and it tastes just like dosa should - a bit sour a bit crispy, a bit lentil like, and alll around delicious. From what I've tried, the fillings are all well made. We've tried and enjoyed the bangalore dosa, mango ginger, onion chilly curry leaf, and mysore dosa. The place is reasonably priced, service is decent, and the dosa is honestly so good. I am glad it is conveniently located. Park across the street, and you won't be disappointed. read more
