We tried the Bombay special dosa and a plain masala dosa. The quantity was plenty. Great value for the price. The masala dosa was pretty good. However, the Bombay special was not what I had in mind (coming from Mumbai). It tasted good, though, but was different than a typical dosa you'd get in Mumbai.

Excellent food. Lot of variety to select from. The owner took time to ask what we wanted and very friendly.service is good and enjoyed the time spent . Will definitely consider going there more frequently.

Dosa buffet was fantastic. The young chef Rehan making dosas was an amazing host, superfast and very curteous. Freshly made tea at the end was delicious too. My only problem was the lack of proper ventilation and exhaust. It made the restaurant very stuffy.
