We had a great experience at Once Upon A Dosa in San Francisco. The food was delicious, fresh, and satisfying. The staff was polite and service was quick. Highly recommend for anyone craving South Indian food.

The idli is perfect - so fluffy and beat in the area.
Dosa is not oily like other places
And waffle pizza is unique

Love this place, is our go to for South Indian food

You can't go wrong with the rice bowls here. They offer a great, fulfilling balanced meal for lunch, and the ability to choose between cottage cheese, chicken, and goat meat means there's something for everyone. Both the food and the service were truly excellent. Front staff were so polite & sweet! A top-notch experience all around.
