This is a great place! Came here on a Tuesday night for the special dosa buffet that they serve here. The place was busy and I had to wait for 10 mins to get inside and did not disappoint! These were some of the best dosas I've ever had! The sambhar and chutney (sides) were so tasty as well. The Mysore masala was the best IMO. This place would probably make one crave for dosas. read more

Great place the food is amazing Spicy and the rice is so soft and perfect I came on a Saturday and the place was well lit and read more

The palce was clean & polite waiters. Good service. The food was nothing close to tasting Indian or atleast the americanized version of Indian. Diluting sriracha with ketchup is not tomato chutney for dosa !!!! There is a whole yard difference between a cris dosa & Pappad. We just went once, & sure we aren't going again. read more

Good dosa! Order the large one for sure! Only one on the menu. Banana pepper fritters also really good, and dipping sauces out of this world. Veggie crust is also yummy - try Manchuria pizzas read more

LOVE this place. Very very consistent. The Sampsa Chaat is out of this world. Love their curries, especially the Shahi Paneer. Easily the best place to eat in Somerville. read more

I have been here three times with a large group, and once with a friend and her son. I love how they denote the Vegan items (it's seriously helpful) and the spicy items. I also love that there are so many Vegan items, and that they are all so delicious. When you're with a large group, you don't always get the best attention from the waitstaff; but it's never been so bad that I would consider not returning. Also, they don't like to accept more than 2 credit cards per table, so if you're dividing the check, bring cash. read more

Came here for dinner on Friday night. Waited 20 mins for a table. We told the server we'd wait outside, and get never came. After 15 mins I went back inside to inquire and they said they couldn't find us so gave our table away. We were standing right outside the door. The staff was unapologetic about it, but then found us another table. We then ordered the temple dosa, uttapam, and idle and sambar appetizer. As someone of Indian decent, this food is boring and expensive. It's bland, and catering to a western crowd. The coconut chutney is especially bland. The portion size was good, but the flavors were super super bland. Did I mention that the food was bland and boring? read more

I like this place and visit here often. I like the food most of the times, however, the service needs massive improvement. It's always a struggle to get their attention for anything I need, and have to call them few times. Also, I feel, it's little bit expensive for the basic Indian food. Overall, a nice south Indian restaurant, with good quality food. I definitely lower my expectation of service I'll receive, expect to wait longer for food, make peace with not so clean bathroom and slightly overpriced menu... atleast the food is good & authentic south Indian closer to my home. read more

One of best vegetarian restaurants I have been to. The location is good. The food was okay. We ordered Veg Jalfreezi, Paneer Tikka Masala and Malai Kofta. All the food items which we ordered were fresh to taste but lacked in flavor. I understand that the chef might be from the southern part of India and most of curries we ordered are from the northern part of the country. But the star of the visit was sambar. This was the best sambar I ever had in US. I would visit here again if I happen to be in the area but would keep the menu limited to the Dosas or Southern Indian food. read more

When you want dosa and your husband wants indo-Chinese... This is the place to go to. The portions are big and that means leftovers for lunch! The staff was nice and the food was really good. I actually have pictures of the food! read more

Visited this spot while in Boston for a day based on Yelp reviews. I'm a real enthusiast when it comes to South Indian cuisine. Have to be honest I wasn't very impressed with the idli but the dosas were amazing. Wasn't very hungry at the time so I didn't get to try other options. Definitely worth a try! read more

This easily ranks amongst the Top WORST Indian restaurants in Massachusetts!!!! I ordered Pav Bhaji that was served with hamburger rolls for 'pav'. I mean how lazy these folks can be. You can easily find the mumbai style 'pav' at any Indian grocery store. Now coming to the artistic 'bhaji'. Oh my my not sure where should I start. The 'bhaji' taste was unprecedented. This was a work of a highly intelligent homo sapien who is unaware of what the underlying taste of 'bhaji' people are used to. Tasteless, crass and gross are the adjectives that I can think of. As a suggestion, I would also like to let the chef know that there is pav bhaji masala available at Indian grocery stores. PLEASE make use of these wonderful 1$ packets that will transform your pav bhaji and many other dishes at your restaurant. This restaurant is Blacklisted! read more

I was travelling to Boston, I ordered food online from this place 4 times. The items were very neatly packed, sealed lids and Phulkas were wrapped in foil. Every time I ordered, it got better i would say. The delivery was on-time (around 50 min), food was still hot. I had requested for food with certain dietary conditions and were prepared as requested. Taste was really good(authentic), Paneer was fresh, vegetables were well cooked and Phulkas were very thin. Every time I come to Boston, i know where to order food from. Very satisfied customer. read more

It was the best South Indian food I had in Boston. Quick service, good quality and amazing songs in background. Worth the price! Recommend going empty stomach read more

Great south indian food! My favorite is the temple special dosa ($12.95), which is stuffed with potatoes and vegetables and rolled in a spicy chutney. We have ordered for pickup and it comes cut into manageable pieces. Stays good and crispy even after being in the fridge for a day if you have leftovers, which you will, because the portions here are huge! read more

One of the best dosas I had in recent times. I was starving on a Friday evening and along with my 2 other friends just stopped by this place. I went for the Dosa(i) and was immediately liked it. I was skeptical about both of my friends order for the chapatis n other stuff ( pretty much against the name of the place). I was pleasantly surprised to get a good looking Dal Makhani and Bhindi something. Nice food and I would definitely recommend this place to the Dosa lovers. read more

Very horrible service and the worst Indian food we ever had in Boston. The food was stale and the staff was very very rude. Won't at all recommend it anybody. read more

Did not meet expectations.Not good and not fresh. Poor service. Food quality was very poor.

This place is hands down, the best Indian restaurant in the area. The food is excellent, the waitstaff is always pleasant and courteous, and the prices can't be beat. My fiance and I have been coming back here for years because of how all around awesome it is. We have frequented other Indian restaurants in the area, as well as out of state, and have been dsappointed because this place has spoiled us! Definitely check out Dosa night and the weekend buffet. You won't be disappointed! **And for all those Yelpers who gave low star reveiws because the place is vegetarian, shame on you! It's clearly stated on the web and at the restaurant. You shouldn't down vote an establishment because you couldn't read the signs. read more

We do I start. We were visiting Boston from L.A and my daughter who loves dosa wanted to have it in Boston. We were staying in a downtown hotel and drove to this location around 7 PM. Not very crowded as it was Thursday evening. The lady took us in quickly and seated us. She was helpful. Me and daughter ordered dosas (spring and mysore) and wife ordered chat (without curd as she is vegan). Guess what! They got chat with curd and my wife had it anyway removing the curd with her spoon. I have never had dosas so tasteless in my life and I have eaten them worldwide in different countries. How can you go wrong with dosa? There is no salt at all in any of them and absolutely tasteless. Portions were big so they get 1 star but we ended up eating about 40% and throwing 60% away back at the hotel. read more

I am easy when it comes to indian food. I like 99% of it. I love Naan. I love cheese. I love sauces. I love spicy. I love sweet. Feel the love. I love the fact that this place is vegetarian, because I can go here with friends who eat meat and we can share everything! The naan was a little lackluster, the food was great and it was a tiny bit more expensive than I had hoped. I will be back some tuesday for all you can eat dosa night, cause that sounds like a good time. P.S. This place is vegetarian. read more

I went to Dosa N Curry because I wanted to try their paneer tikka pizza. I didn't know you can only have pizza to go, and I found out when I was already sitting down with my friend. I had to wait a LONG time to: order the pizza, get the pizza, get the check. The staff is very friendly but slow as hell. They didn't charge me for chai, which I thought was cool given I was waiting forever. The pizza itself is good and HUGE. It has awesome Indian spices and no animal rennet cheese. The whole menu is incredible, vegan and gluten free menu, except the pizzas, obviously. The ambiance is okay, it is very casual and bland. I'll probably go back for the dosa :) read more

So I came to this restaurant because I can't have gluten and I love Indian food, I was surprised to see that this place was completely meatless! Personally, I like having a protein (aside from lentils) in my Indian food therefore I was not incredibly satisfied. Aside from that, the menu was organized well marking gluten free and vegan items! The vegan selection was impressive considering! The service was a bit odd. My boyfriend and I were chatting and I felt like we kept getting interrupted. Our waiter was sweet and did not bother us in any way, although there was this other person who kept asking if we were okay or interrupting us asking if our waiter did enough? I'm not sure if she was the manager or something, but she seemed to be watching all the tables fairly closely especially ours.. I think if you're looking for vegan and gluten free options this is a place to checkout, but if you or someone in your party wants a meat option or specific dishes I would look elsewhere (or read the menu first for sure). P.s. Their dosas were massive! read more

This place is awful. Such potential, but awful. First: The service. I have never seen such rude people working in a restaurant. After waiting over two hours for a delivery that had been promised in an hour, we called the restaurant. The woman on the phone was so incredibly rude; she did not offer any apologies for the slow service and in fact she hung up on us. Unacceptable. Second: They market themselves as being vegan friendly but I do not believe it. While dining in the restaurant I noticed something on the menu that was not marked vegan, but usually is made vegan. I asked the waiter what was in the dish that was not vegan. Not only did he not know, he had no idea what vegan even meant. If you are going to mark your food as vegan you might want to train your waitstaff on the concept. Also, there are multiple items on the menu that are marked vegan but then include butter in the description. Butter is not vegan! Vegans beware. I would not trust this place to actually serve you vegan food. read more

Hidden gem! I brought my son here. We spend a lot of time in India, so I think I can say with some authority: good stuff! We had samosas, iddly sambhar, plain dosa, and rava masala onion dosa. It was all top notch - comparable with many spots in Pune. The coconut chutney was nice and fresh, and the daniya chutney with the samosas was excellent. My rava onion dosa was perfectly crisp, with a nice touch of fresh daniya (cilantro) in the batter. Our server was very friendly, and had the good sense to warn us that the rava onion dosa would take about 20 minutes, which it did. The only glitch was that we never got our fresh lime sodas, but to be honest, we had too much food to contend with, so didn't even notice until we were almost done. The waitress took them off the bill (of course) and had the grace to offer us a free kulfi to make up for the oversight, but we were too full to take her up on the kind offer. The menu is fairly standard fare for west-central India: 1/3 South, 1/3 Punjabi, 1/3 Indo-Chinese, with a smattering of oddballs like pizza dosa and chinese dosa, which are all the rage in Pune right now. I don't know how well they do with Punjabi & Veg. Manchurian, but if the dosas are any measure, they're probably quite good. (BTW, I asked the waitress about the change of name. She said this used to be a branch of Ashland's Dosa Temple; that's still there, but the owner there sold out of his Somerville experiment; the menu still features a lot of the same stuff, including Podi Iddly, but has a bigger selection of Punjabi, and no South Indian Thali.) read more

This place has become better after it changed its name. We ordered the idli, medhu vada, spring dosa, onion dosa and pav bhaji. The highlight of he day was the vada and pav bhaji. The idli's were average (i feel they were in a steamer all day and had dried out). Spring dosa was good and I remember eating a similar version back in India. Onion dosa was crispy and thing (as I like it) but the masala lacked seasoning. Pav bhaji was very well made. The texture, seasoning and the spices were all good and it was as good as it can get. The sambhar could have done with some more spices but now I think I am nit-picking. The portions are generous and the service is warm and friendly. read more

OPENED AGAIN ON JAN 24, 2016. I was born in india and this is authentic south indian place. This is by far my favorite place for rava n spring dosas. Another fav is dahi bhalla. Sambars/chuntey's r good but dosas are unbeatable - thin,crispy (if u want), non-oily and right amount of spices. Only udupi in Lowell has better sambar/chutney than dosa n curry but that place is 1 hr drive. I m so glad that dosa n curry is open again. read more

I ate at Dosa N Curry two days in a row this week. I wanted to go there last night, too, but we're trying to cook at home more (rolls eyes). First, this is usually our order: Spinach naan (amazing), mango chutney (dessert with dinner), myore soups (or lentil), Temple dosa (shizzam), and butter dosa (also shizzam). I've tried several dosas, and the only one I'm not interested in is the spicy dosa with powder seasoning. Nothing is greasy or saturated in ghee. They're pretty trustworthy on having no sneaky ingredients. Otherwise, this is the Indian restaurant of Cambridge and Somerville. I can't speak for Boston, but probably them too. We often wait for 5 pm to come around and then walk over and strategize all the things we want to eat. When we walk in, it's mostly Indian families. You know what that means, right? It's obviously down. I want to give a shout out to my dear vegan friend, Abi, for bringing us here that one fateful summer night. Abi knows what's up. read more

It pains me to write this review but the dosas were truly bland. One of the dosas I ordered was supposed to have paneer in it but its contents were unrecoverable, as the inside of the dosa just looked and tasted like a paltry tofu scramble from the frozen section of a supermarket. The other one was just tasteless. The chutneys were unrecognizable because they were so bland. The Gobi 65 appetizer was supposed to be spicy but it, too, was bland. I am so disappointed with this place and do not understand the positive food reviews. It was comparable to hospital food and only the mango lassi was good. read more

The three stars are for Dosa and Sambar. The chutneys were sad. Ordered Gobi Manchurian.. they were half cooked and I could literally taste the batter... read more

Dosa n Curry - Gobi Manchurian... Was very bad - Indian Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

The Dosa was excellent by the standards here. If given a suggestion book, I'd recommend they ought to make it a little crisp! But the taste was amazing. The fun part was how easy it was to order pizza from the other store besides it! Also, thank you Dosa and Curry for having a Chikoo (Sapota) Shake on the menu. I could taste home right there. read more

This place is okay. The lunch buffet is a pretty good deal for the quantity. The regular menu items are priced a tiny bit higher than they should be, given the quality. I'm South Indian, the region from where dosas come. These dosas are kinda "meh" in my books. But that being said, at least they are made fresh. There are some other items from South India on the menu, but aren't cooked quite authentically either - that's because the chef is from another area of India. I met him a couple months ago because I wanted to compliment him on an dish served in the buffet - really nice guy, but limited geographical cooking skills. It's worth going to if you like Indian food, are exploring new vegetarian options, or wondering what the heck a "dosa" is. read more

I am so lucky to live near so many good Indian places! This one is right down the street from my house. Great, great food. More importantly, they sell dosas as long as a toddler. It was nuts to see them bring one out for a customer. I don't know how one would consume it all by their lonesome. Also, come for the Indian food. Stay for the Indian television. TRL has nothing on the music video countdown I saw while eating. read more

Off course I'm all happy when a place has a menu that lists vegan dishes. The food is good but what struck me the most is the owner. An absolutely lovely lady. My mom was along and she didn't eat her dish and she automatically took it off. Very sweet and people like that deserve the business! read more

A delicious establishment! The dosa is always spot on and quite tasty, and the paper mache dosa is quite the experience (it is about as long as their tables!). The staff is friendly, and I've been here multiple times because of how tasty it is. Sad that it hasn't been up and running for a while, but eager to return once it returns! read more

I stopped by here for lunch on a Friday, so it wasn't too busy at all. We were one of the only customers and had our food served pretty quickly. I wasn't too impressed by the mysore masala dosa and sambhar - I've tried better, more authentic tasting dosa and sambhar elsewhere. However, the kotthu paratha with raita was absolutely delicious! The flavors were great and it wasn't too spicy. read more

Disclaimer: reviewing ONLY lunch buffet. Don't let the fact that this is a veggie-only Indian restaurant turn you down the street to Kabob Factory for it's Buffet, like I had for so long. Serious points for every bite being ridiculously delectable and well thought. Soup options are OVER THE TOP and the Dosa they bring is the size of your head. And unlimited. Everything. Don't be a fool, come into this place and rock out with your fat out, it's veggie so it's ok. read more

Just moved to Union Square and have been slowing checking out the restaurants in my new neighborhood. I ate at Veggie Crust last week and learned that Dosa was the sister restaurant. So, I wandered over there today to check it out. I didn't have time for the buffet, so ordered an appetizer and meal to go, and masala chai while I waited. I've traveled extensively in India and it's rare that I get masala chai as good as I had it over there. But I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor, and it was served in a small tin cup and saucer. I suddenly was transported somewhere else and it made my heart sing. For an appetizer, I had the Gobi 65. It was nice and crispy, but not greasy, and had a great deal of flavor. The gobi was cut small so it wasn't embarassing to fit into my mouth. Delicious! I also got palak paneer and basamati rice. Hard to mess that one up! It was consistent with what I've had in the past, and typically not hot (no matter how much a white person begs for "hot" it never seems to come out that way, although I asked for medium hot-it really wasn't). Sikum was the man who helped me and he was very pleasant about showing me some beautiful pictures of Nepal, his home country, while I waited. I was curious about where he was from, so he engaged me, but wasn't annoying about it. He shared information on Tuesday dosa night and encouraged me to try it (which I will). The menu was expansive with so many choices of good Indian and South Indian food. AND it has Jain options!!! Where else in Boston can you get Jain food? I was totally impressed. Nice to have veggie lovers in my neighborhood. I'll be back. (oh, and I loved Veggie Crust, too-try it!) read more

I came here with friends on a Sunday. We were very excited to try the only all vegetarian Indian restaurant in the Boston area! I'm vegan, and I was impressed with all of the menu options. The food was great. The breads were really nice, and the channa masala and coconut tomato soup was amazing. Service was a little awkward, I don't think our server understood us very well. First, we asked her if we could have the bread basket, but swap out the 3 types of bread for bread we chose ourselves. I wasn't sure if they would do this for us, but she said yes! Then, the manager came over and asked us if we were sure we wanted to order so much bread. We were confused. We told her that we wanted to swap out some of the bread options in the bread basket, and she said no, they didn't do that. Just a little mis communication there I guess. Next, I ordered some bhel puri with the rest of our food. When they brought our food out, our server gave me dal poori. I told her that wasn't what I ordered, she brought it back. Then, a couple of seconds later, another server brought the same plate of dal poori out. I then had to tell him as well, that it wasn't what I had ordered. Our server came back to inform me that I had ordered dal poori. I then told her that we must have misunderstood each other, and I had meant to order bhel puri, they sound pretty similar. She looked frustrated with me, and I just told her that I didn't want the bhel puri anymore, we had already had enough food. It was a little awkward, and she kind of avoided us for the rest of our visit. The food was great, service could be better. read more

The ONLY reason I didn't give this 5 stars is the gloomy ambience and most importantly the ridiculous (not in a good way....!) service. The DOSAS are the closest you can get to authentic South Indian fare. I would highly recommend the ghee roast dosa. The medu vada and the chilli bhaji (beware...its pretty hot...!) are great appetizers. If you are a dosa fan go there Tuesday nights...It is UNLIMITED DOSA noght for $14 bucks and it is a great deal....! The only let down was the service where the female server kept trying to get us to leave before 10pm. She was suggestively rude and had a conspicous lack of basic courtesy. The other (male) server is the one you want serving you...! Get the groupon if possible...... This place is definitely worth trying out...! What more?? They have their own private parking lot....! read more
