While spending summer in the Cambridge area, this place surprisingly became a go-to for us. We had a nice meal the first week we arrived and kept returning for South Indian food - dosa nights are awesome - such as dosa, uthappam, idli, and also for really good chhole bhature! The only thing weak about this place is the service. The people seem so nice but also so meek, slow and passive. It's not even 1-2 servers, it's the service culture. read more

The service here has always been okay, but of late has gone down dramatically. Tonight they served me Buttermilk, insisting it was salted lassi. No customizations. Also, after seating us, moved us because a larger party wanted to sit. The table next to us wasn't even cleaned yet. Long wait to get service staff's attention. There is so much competition now. This establishment needs to understand that. I won't be coming back... after years of coming here. I suspect they won't even care. read more

Great local Indian restaurant with friendly staff, good quality food, and fast service. The dosa was excellent and very big! Lahori karahi paneer was fantastic - flavorful, spicy and made on an iron wok. We'll be back?! read more

Never reviewed? Damn! Has been great with all their orders atleast in the last 2 years. The only place where I get my Rava onion masala dosa. The cauliflower 65(Gobi 65) was crispy and the chutneys(dipping sauces) they served were fresh. The tamarind one needs salt and a bit more zing but hey u can add salt on your own as you please :). A nice place to take care of my dosa cravings when am not in the mood to drive afar. read more

Dosa n Curry - Dosa Nights every Tuesday!!! - Indian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

BEST SOUTH INDIAN FOOD - HIGHLY RECOMMEND I tried this place for the first time and really loved the food. I ordered Rava Onion masala Dosa and Madhurai Podi Idli - both the items were super amazing. I actually loved their sambar too. Guess what - i was surprised to learn that thus place is owned by a Punjabi and dosa and ildi are not South Indian dishes at all. If you are in this area and wants to have the best Dosas - this is the place to be. The staff was very pleasant, smiling which is not usually you see these days. read more

I was speaking to one of the residents in the building I work at about Indian food. Specifically vegetarian Indian food, I told him the Indians got vegetarian cuisine down, hands down no one even comes close. He told me I needed to try this place Dosa n Curry. So I found myself late that day wanting to eat before meeting a buddy for a cigar, and said let me give it a shot. Everything was delicious. Palak paneer my favorite.

We finally went back - and it was great. We had just returned from Mumbai and needed MORE Indian food, and knew that many of the dishes here were Mumbai style. We had the vegetable platter appetizer, masala dosa, madras cheese dosa, and malai kofta. It was way too much food for 4 people. The veg platter was the weak dish. Some of the things were dried out, some were oddly overspiced (picante). The two dosas were A+ as good as - or perhaps better than we had in Mumbai. I think the malai kofta had too much cream but the others thought it was ok. Why only 4 stars? Their bathroom was TOTALLY GROSS. Ugh! Cmon guys, make the two bathrooms unisex, and on busy nites, close one and clean it, then the other. read more

Be sure to put this Vegetarian Fusion Restaurant on your list of places to visit if you're in the Somerville area. This is a great place to go if you or the people you are dining with have any dietary restrictions because they do a good job of explicitly stating what is and is not vegan plus what can be made vegan upon request. I'd never had Dosa before, but I absolutely loved it! Dosa n Curry had great portion sizes. My friend and I were both fairly hungry, and split the madras cheese dosa. We both agreed that it was absolutely delicious. We went on a Friday afternoon when there weren't many people, so it was quiet and a perfect place to catch up. The service was great and our food came quite quickly. I would highly recommend! read more

The food was very tasty --- the chutney accompanied the dosa and brighten up the flavor profile. There were different kinds of chutneys and I like the potato one the best. My friend said that the dosa was authentic too. Service was good and quick, and the restaurant looks clean and organized well in general. It gave fast food vibe but the food was comforting. I would check out it again for the authentic dosa! read more

The food was great; we had to wait for a few minutes. The bad part was it was on the expensive side.

Very good dosas and Indian food. Tried the onion rava masala dosa and mango lassi, both were excellent. The paneer dosa was nothing exciting. Overall loved the food and would come back! read more

Had to make a review specifically for the amritsari nutri kulcha. Oh my god. And it came with two pieces of kulcha bread and a rich and incredibly flavorful punjabi curry. Everything was so easy to make vegan. I got takeout so can't speak very well to service but they were nice and it smelled amazing inside. I also got a dosa and it was super big and came with a big thing of potato masala, a small soup (sambar?), and two chutneys. Altogether the whole order will make three meals for me I think! So worth it and just unbelievably delicious. No pictures because I was too hungry to remember to take any. read more

Hailing from a South Indian household, my standards are unreasonably high for a thali. This one did not disappoint. I was intrigued to see tofu in some of the sides... not authentic by any means but somehow I didn't mind! Was happy to share the experience with my girlfriend, whose first time it was having the cuisine. Taste: 3.5/5 Comfort: 4/5 Variety: 4/5 read more

Dosa n Curry - Thali - Indian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Dosa n Curry is one of the few places I know of that offer Indian food buffet that includes the scrumptious South Indian food like Dosa as part of the buffet offering. The lunh buffet had quite a decent spread...you can eat all you want...and I ate 2 full plates + 1 masala Dosa and 2 cups of chai (they were all part of the buffet!). I remembered I was so stuffed that I almost threw up from overeating while walking back home! Overall, I would go back again if I ever have huge craving for Dosa again. Probably not a good idea to go there so often as I would probably end up eating way more than I'd need! If you are looking for Indian food buffet esp for Dosa...this is a place to go. Remember to go there early though as they seemed fill up their seats quite quickly and you may have may have to wait... read more

Ordered dosa and curry Since it was a delivery order dosa did not remain crispy which is understandable Sambar had right amount of spice, will always order a mild Overall tasty meal read more

I've been here for the weekday lunch buffet and have ordered from the regular menu for dinner. The lunch buffet is probably half vegan, half vegetarian options. For better vegan options, order from the menu (which has clearly marked vegan labels). I ordered the Aloo Mutter ($11.95) and my better half got the Aloo Gobi. Both were great! We ordered ours 'mild' but there wasn't really any heat in the dishes. Next time we're going with 'medium'! All curries are served with a plate of rice to share, which was more than enough for 3 people. Make sure to order the vegetable samosas ($3.95) - they're huge and so good! A lot of reviews here complain about service, but we had no major problems. It took a little while to get our check but we weren't in a rush and it was busy so no harm, no foul.

They no longer have a buffett so I went with theirThali with Masala Dosa (rice crepe with potato filling). Sides were: eggplant, cauliflower & potato, spinach and paneer, sambhar (spicy lentil soup) and vegetable ball in cream sauce along with fried dough in sugar sauce. Called on menu as Baigan Bhartha, Aloo Gobhi, Palak Paneer, Sambhar, Malai Kofta and Gulab Jaman. All the optins tasted good and it was served quickly. read more

So this place is one of the nice south Asian places. Their chai is good. Ive always tried their dosas, my suggestion would be a bit more seasoning and salt in their dosa fillings and chutneys. Their Papri chaat is one of the best. Ambiance and service is nice too. Finding parking has always been easy. Its right next to union square. read more

Honestly giving a sambar portion like they do is simply embarrassing for them. Like you really ought to leave town with how ridiculous the sambar soup portion like this. Ripping off college students it's really a new low read more

We ordered takeout from here comprising onion rava masala dosa, sindhi soya chaap biryani, and veg pakora. The place gets a four star only because of the fantastic biryani. I've never eaten the soya chaap biryani anywhere else in the US and this one was delicious with generous pieces of the chaap! Dosa was okay and the pakoras were oily and soggy. The place is reasonably priced. I've dined in at their sister restaurant veggie crust in Somerville that has good pizzas. Wood like to try some of the other items on the menu as well. read more

The best Indian food in Massachusetts. All vegetarian and most can be made vegan/gluten free. SO GOOD. Pakora is insane and the saags are great. Honestly everything I've tried has been so good. The Mysore and special temple dosa also delicious. Limited alcohol but I only go for the food. Very very attentive and friendly waitstaff. read more

Been here a couple of time and they have fantastic dosas, pretty good curries, awesome naan, and is an overall good experience. It's in the name, but I would say their dosas are better than their curries, not saying their curries are bad though. Wish I had a few pictures of the dosas I've had but I've eaten them all too fast. Would recommend!! read more

Nice friendly staff. The paper dosa is my favorite and it's very long, enough for two. It doesn't come with potatoes in it like the other dosas. The idli's was my least favorite which is basically rice cakes. It was missing something and tasted very bland as most idli's are but the taste was off for this location. I ordered 5 plates of samosas to go and it was delicious just wish the portion was more for the price. read more

Dosa n Curry - Paper Dosa - Indian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

Bottomless dosas on Tuesdays-- hellll ya. For said bottomless dosas, the service does slowly slow down as the restaurant fills up. Would recommend to arrive early. These dosas are amazing. We were able to try each one through this system LOL. Here is our best guess at their strategy: 1. Friendly staff takes your order and promptly brings your dosas. Key: order many on this round. WE messed up and didn't. Rookie mistake 2. Next round: Takes longer for your order 3. Servers stop making eye contact with you 4. Oh no, you're starting to get full as you wait 5. Fuck. You're full. They start paying attention again. But you're full so you only order 1 dosa 6. You get a second wind but they're slow again 7. You give up and go home. Pay of course read more

I visited Dosa n Curry with a friend who is from South India, so her expectations were pretty high. She and I were both very pleased with our meals here. We ordered the masala dosai, dahl makhani, and garlic naan. Our favorite was definitely the masala dosai. It was my first time trying dosai, and my friend was so happy that the food was as good as she hoped. We finished off our meal with some deliciously refreshing mango juice on a hot summer day. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also very nice, with beautiful wall decorations and bright colors. I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants to have some delicious, authentic Indian food! read more

We drove to this place after our show from boston commons. The place was an easy find and parking was available on the streets. The reviews are great on yelp but I can't give more than 2 stars. We came in, one person greeted us and said sit on any available tables. We sat on the table, but a girl came and said- you are two- sit on this table and not this one. We were fine switching the tables but she was really rude and just had some weird expressions on her face. We ordered Meru vada (appetizer) - comes with chutney and sambhar and cheeku shake. The appetizer(sambhar) was not even room temp warm. I asked her to heat- and she microwaved and gave it to us after 5-6 min wait. For the main course, we ordered malai kofta, garlic naan and mysore masala dosa. The chutney that came with dosa was BLAND. No taste- salt and pepper. The only great thing that forced me to give 2 stars is the cheeku shake!! It was great in taste. This was my first and last for this restaurant.. Date visited- Sunday: 19/11/2018 time: 4:15 PM read more

I'm over my anger about the 2 hour wait time for delivery (but be warned if you order take-out). I'll concede this is probably the best bet for a desi meal on the left bank of the Charles. Certainly better than Punjabi Dhaba (red sauce covered onions are not an achar substitute!) On the weekends go for the South Indian classics - curd rice, made-to-order dosas, idli/vada, and sambar/coconut chutney. As mentioned in my prior review, the Indo-Chinese is somewhat lacking. Paneer dishes and chai are also nice. read more

We were in Boston for long weekend and got tired of eating bread and pizzas! I found this local Indian VEG restaurant with reasonable prices and decided to make the visit. The area is pretty far from Boston sightseeing areas but parking and area was still safe to visit. Due to covid, the restaurant wasn't busy at all but plenty staff was available to help and serve food. The food tasted amazing and was definitely place to stop by if you want to authentic Indian food. Also, if you are new to Indian food, they'll definitely catered to your taste buds! If I'm ever in Boston again, I'll am going back for sure! read more

Good food and best indian dosa and chaat. Must visit for every one who loves dosa. Even the service is really good

The food is so delicious! I really thought the dosas were perfectly spiced, not greasy, and yummy. I wish I could say the same for the service. It's quite disorganized. You don't know who is your server, have to ask for the check, ask someone to take your order, we ordered 3 items and the wait person wrote down the order and then forgot the third item. I think the wait staff isn't trained or there's not a proper service system in place. So, go enjoy the food and be patient! read more

We were hungry, still could not find the food good or meet the expectations. We ordered the samosa chaat as appetizers, which was ok. Would have liked a bit more of spice or chutney to it. For the main course we had the kuttu paratha and the mysore masala dosa. Both were a disappointment. The oil used tasted old and the kuttu paratha was bland, with very little spice. The filter coffee was good, the mango lassi not so much. Our server was nice and friendly though. Overall, the place was pricier than usual indian restaurants and the food mediocre. read more

What an explosion of taste and texture. Beautiful presentation in lovely ambiance. Service was attentive. We will be coming back for more.

Though I've been temporarily located in Union Square for nearly a year, I had somehow not taken it upon myself to visit Dosa n Curry. How can that be?! An all vegetarian and vegan Indian restaurant (next to and owned by the same people as the all vegetarian and vegan pizza place next door) is certainly up my alley. So I finally checked it out recently and was super impressed. The flavors and composition of the foods was ultimately what really wowed me. My partner and I got a mix of both south and north Indian style options. For south, we got some idlii, vada, and a dosa. The dipping sauces for both the appetizers were truly excellent. The dosa was HUGE (reminds me of the kind of Indian food I've had internationally) and also one of the better ones I've had. For north, we got veggie pakora and aloo gobi. The veggie pakora was about what I expected (in a good way), but the taste of the aloo gobi was so much more nuanced than any I've had at other restaurants. It can so easily be made overly oily but not at Dosa n Curry. Quite shockingly, when we got our check, the whole thing came up under $40 (we also got two sparkling waters.) What a great deal for such a delicious food! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon. read more

The food is okay. The one star is not about the food. While chatting with the server, we were informed that the manager keeps all of their tips. I hope the manager reads this and realizes what a POS they are. Hope this helps. read more

I feel so lucky to have this spot so close to my door!! I lived in southern India for awhile, and I love having dosa and biryani accessible at all times. Delicious, authentic, spicy (if you want it) and just overall great. Highly recommended. read more
