Solid overall. Very good and super quick service. The naan was delicious. The tikka masala was delicious. But too salty. That's the only reason this is not five stars. The Gulab Jamun was delicious. Definitely coming back. read more

Authentic and tasty Indian food with a lot of options! My favorite here is the DOSA while my husband prefers the vegetarian entrees (all of them!). Finding good indian food in the metro can be a challenge but we love this little place in Bloomington. The portions are very generous and always promptly served but note that when ordering dosa that will usually come last so a bit of a wait but so worth it! read more

Saw a blog ranking this place pretty highly and decided to give it a try, between 2 people, we shared the Benne Masala Dosa, Madurai Chicken Pepper Fry and Andhra Chicken Curry. We took home leftovers. We ordered level 5 spice for the chicken dishes and it was definitely spicy for me. Everything was really good though, our favorites are the dosa (crispy exterior and yummy potato filling) and the Chicken Pepper Fry(very tasty). Also, saw a notice that they would start a lunch buffet soon so will be returning to try that! The service was prompt. We were seated immediately and we did not have to wait long before they came to take our order. However, we were one of the first ones in the restaurant as we went at 10.30am on a Sunday. The restaurant ambience is fine, it's clean and has comfortable seating. read more

Great Indian food, really solid menu full of a wide variety of dishes! The Dosa was extremely tasty, and the lamb, chicken and goat dishes we had were delicious, flavorful and spicy! Solid service and kind wait staff recommended dishes to us and promptly brought us our food. Very simply dinning room, not much too it, but the food speaks for itself. Give them a try, you'll be happy you did! read more

This is from the same owner as Hyderabad Indian Grill and our Dosa delivery order actually came from a Hyderabad location. I guess you could consider this their secret delivery menu! I absolutely love Hyderabad so it's no surprise that I'd love Dosa. The Dosa menu has a bit more of a complex twist with items that take more time to craft. We ordered a Masala Chai, the Onion Chilli Uthappam, Hyderabad's Special Chicken Biryani, and the Madras Chicken Curry! Everything came with extra sauces and rice. I don't even know where to begin with this order. The curry was delicious, fragrant, and perfectly spicy. The biryani was also delicious with perfectly cooked rice as always. Very texturally pleasing across the board. The Uthappam I've never had before and it was absolutely heavenly. Fluffy spongey "bread" that I used as a utensil for everything else! read more

We have been to this restaurant twice now. Each visit has been a great gastronomic experience! I like how they have southern Indian food that you normally don't see in most Indian restaurants; Sambar with Igdly Each dish we ordered from our first visit to the latest one has been a delight. They're full of flavor and comes in very generous servings. My daughter is a big fan of their butter chicken. It's creamy, can be served mild, and is a burst of flavor. It goes very well with basmati rice. In our recent visit, we tried their Goat Curry, Dosa, and Biryani. I especially liked the Biryani. It was very tasty. It took a while to make and get served. But it was worth the wait. Definitely recommend this place to get good Indian food. Especially if you're craving for South Indian cuisine. read more

Dosa South Indian Grill - Goat Goat Fry Biryani (Gf) - Indian Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Ample portions of food from across the subcontinent. Chef willing to adjust spice level upon request. Sambar, coconut and tomato chutneys were tasty. Raita served with biryani is to my liking (coriander, cilantro, carrot, red onion). Kids enjoyed the steamed momo (although obviously made off site) Drawbacks are that they didn't ask if we'd dined before. And they didn't mention that curries are served with rice, so we ended up with an ENTIRELY untouched rice dish. And "vegetable pulau" is actually more of veg biryani...not like peas pulau that I expected. read more

I ordered the Navratan no korma and garlic naan. The karma was heaven in a bowl.. the single portion was so large. I ate the other half for lunch the following day.. they were generous with the garlic naan as well. Two servings for the price of one. Absolutely five star food. read more

Stopped by here in a big group for lunch on a Wednesday. There were over 30 of us with 10 plus kids. So a big group which would be hard for most restaurants. We took over more than half the dining room of this small-ish restaurant off of Penn Avenue in Bloomington. We had called ahead and they had the table ready for us. They have an extensive menu with North and South Indian varieties and we ordered a smattering of items. We had a bunch of dosas, biryani, butter chicken, tiger shrimp curry and nuggets for the littlest ones in our party and some lassis and sodas to wash it all down. They were not staffed for the rush and it showed but they did their best and I was impressed with the service given the people that they probably were not expecting on a week day for lunch. The food was what you expect from an Indian restaurant in the cities. Not exceptional but solid. And we enjoyed everything that we ordered. I didn't order a lassi but did hear from some that did that it was disappointing. So there's that. But I have no complains about the food. All in all I was very impressed with them handling the large group of people and their orders. And the food was solid. I will come back when in the neighborhood and wanting some Indian food. read more

Well, the outside looks better than the inside. Don't go here for the design. I ordered take out and it took about 35 minutes, which they told me 30 - so that's ok. The food was good although the Naan could have used some more oil/butter on it. My biggest complaint is I got the Gulab Jamun for dessert and for $5 I was shocked to see only 3 pieces. Seriously? $1.67 a ball...... read more

Dosa South Indian Grill - Byrani, Garlic Naan Lamb Samosa - Indian Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Last month, I had been out and about on consecutive days in the Twin Cities. I felt like hibernating in my hotel room and didn't feel like heading out to grab dinner. Instead, I looked at my Uber Eats app to get food delivered. You probably find this detail shocking. During this pandemic, I tend to order takeout and fetch my food from the eatery in question. I have only done delivery once and that's because this business did not have a storefront at the time. Well, it's now twice. I hadn't ordered food delivery since 2018. Yep, that long ago! Back then, I was also at a hotel. I find it fancy to get food delivered right to my door when I'm away from home. I found Dosa South Indian Grill. The ratings were good. I loved what I saw on the menu, so I ordered the following: - Garlic naan (BOGO) - Lamb samosas (3) - Potato masala dosa - Shahi tukda The eatery was fourteen minutes away from the hotel. I could have easily fetched my food, but delivery was free. I felt cozy staying put. I got an Uber Eats driver with a perfect rating. I had never seen such a rare unicorn! I was thrilled that he would not sacrifice his rating to not deliver my precious dinner items to me. I'm probably the only one who likes watching how far the delivery car is away from me by following along on the app. Hey, let me enjoy my rare delivery moment... haha! He knocked on my door. I said hi, grabbed my food from him, thanked him, and wished him a good evening. He reciprocated. He wasn't terribly talkative. It just meant that I could chow down faster. The garlic naan had lots of garlic. It wasn't as soft as I had hoped, though. To rejuvenate it, I ended up dampening a paper towel, placing it over one of the naan that was on a plate, and microwaving it. As crazy as that sounds, it was softer with more moisture. Whenever I see lamb samosas, I must try them. Each samosa was stuffed silly with lamb filling. It does taste a bit gamey if you don't using the two different dipping sauces. I got a tangy one and a green herby one. Both complimented the filling nicely. The wrapper was crunchy and sturdy. It never disintegrated on me with each bite that I took. The potato masala dosa was amazing. I went with a vegetarian main because I got lamb samosa. Holy cow! It had the best potato filling that I've ever had in a dosa. It was flavourful and oddly simple. This place does not skip on filling. The dosa was soft and enveloped the precious potato filling. I'd so get this dosa again. The dosa came with three sauces: - Spicy tomato chutney - Sambar - Coconut chutney They were all amazing. The sambar was like a mini vegetarian stew with carrots, onions, and more. My tip is to have the sambar with the garlic naan. It is heavenly and easily a separate meal. I got dessert. I have never had shahi tukda and decided to give it a go. I'm glad that I did. It's like bread pudding, but with saffron and pistachios, and slightly sweet. It was yummy. I'd definitely get it again. My late friend gave me a list of places to eat and I still am working on visiting these places. She said that there was an Indian eatery by Mall of America. I'm hoping that it was this location because it was awesome. She would have approved the food here. I'd get food from this eatery again without hesitation. Next time, I may need to check out the actual restaurant, and get back to my usual takeout or dining routine when I'm back in town. (473) read more

Terrible. Arrived at 12:45 on Wednesday. No lunch buffet. Food took 25 minutes and we had to ask how much longer for our food. Garlic naan was forgotten. Arrived halfway through lunch and tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. Had hard spots in it that could not be chewed through. Entrees arrived steaming hot but sauces were bland. The sauce on the Mattar Paneer and the Shahi Paneer looked and tasted like bland tomato sauce. Had to remind the server to bring our drinks. read more

Visited 1/4/24. Had been wanting to visit for a while and finally made it in on this Thursday night. We went around 5:30 and there were plenty of available tables at this time and an open parking lot with spots available. My sister and I split the samosa chaat and naan as a starter of sorts then she got a vegetarian dish with potatoes and cauliflower and I got the butter chicken. I would definitely definitely recommend the samosa chaat. It's under the "street food" section of the menu and was so delicious. Not to mention the sauces in it were amazing so it was perfect for dipping naan into. Our main courses were also delicious and really great sizes so we both ended up with leftovers. Honestly I feel like you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, really solid experience. read more

This review is based solely on delivery as I've not eaten in at their physical location (yet). I absolutely love the food here and it's immediately replaced all the other Indian restaurants I'd previously ordered from. It has everything I'm looking for - I can tell their paneer is freshly made from how it still squeaks (like a cheese curd) when you bite into it, the chicken I've gotten from them is likewise quality, and the flavors of their curries and samosas is spot on. Pricewise they come out to be less expensive per dish than most other places I've seen while generally providing higher quality across the board. I don't think you can really go wrong getting food from them. I particularly like their samosas, palak paneer (with that fresh squeaky cheese), and the butter chicken. They make delicious garlic naan as well! read more

Best diss I've had in an Indian restaurant. Great coconut chutney with it and even the San jar was flavorful. I ordered mild and it was not hot but packed with flavor. We don't get this type food often in a restaurant and we travel all the time. Delicious! Great attitude and service too. read more

I had a very rough day with my mom being in the hospital. I ordered very late on door dash at night and showed up 8 minutes after close. I understand that that's a rude thing to do and is very irritating as I've also worked in food service for many years. I got there and the employee was so kind. I got my food piping hot. It was all delicious. Beautiful restraunt, amazing food, VERY generous portions, and amazing staff. Would 100% come again. read more

The service is really bad. We sat for 30 min we had non of our orders. We didn't have water, mango lassi, or the naan we ordered. We ordered lamb Bryani. We asked them if they had spice level. The said yes and we ordered mild. We go to Indian restaurant at least 2 times a month but we change locations to try different places, so we know mild bryani. They brought us spicy bryani and when I asked them to check they said we don't have spice level for bryani and they are all like this. Not only they brought the food so late but also lied. If they were honest we would get something different. Very disappointing. I came here for the reviews and they really disappointed read more

Great flavors and reasonably priced. Love the food from this place. Authentic Indian food.

We came at 2 pm it was not busy. Our food came pretty fast. We ordered the ghee masala dosa. Which was perfectly crispy and yummy.Their coconut chutney is very thin and lacked flavor. The sambhar was so salty so we couldn't finish it. The vegetable momos were not bad. I would probably not get them again. The chana bhatura was also pretty good. The service was good. I would come back if they improved the salt content in sambhar and improved their coconut chutney to a thicker and more flavorful chutney. read more

I've been into this place six or seven times every time I go there I'll make sure I'll call them and ask what time the buffet starts. They say it starts at 11 so when I be in there at 11, I see the buffet starts at 11:45 somewhere around 12 it's not one or two times it all happens for me all my visits. The food is delicious. They have a good range of variety of items for the value for money but only thing is they need to work on keep up with the time because waiting for 45 minutes once or twice is acceptable but not all the time. I hope they'll work on this. Thank you read more

Affordable Indian food The menu is extensive spanning vast array of Indian food favorites. Their buffet is the primary draw for many guests. The dosa was the best I have had in Minnesota. However the chutneys and sambar was sub par. Wish they had put in some effort in ensuring its authentic taste. read more

Nothing was good- food taste, ambience and service. Below par when compared to most other Indian restaurants in Minneapolis.

I ordered through DoorDash, and am excited to try in person! I ordered the special chicken biryani, lamb samosas, and garlic naan. The biryani was hot, (even ordering mild) so be careful if you're sensitive to spice, but exactly what I wanted and so, so good! It is a huge order for the price, and leftover lasted me a few days. Definitely worth a try! read more

This place is unassuming. Small building, simple decor yet big on taste. This is the second time I've been here and I ordered the same thing as last time and was very happy though I did ask for it to be mild and it was a tiny bit more spicy than I would like but not so much I couldn't enjoy it. Mughal chicken shaghi korma. The sauce is flavorful. The chicken is tender and the cashews add a nice nutty flavor. We got the potatoes and spinach which I did not find as tasteful as the korma. The service here is pretty slow sometimes. But overall I think it's worth it, especially because I think it's a fair price point. I would like to come back during the buffet to try more items. They had something interesting tonight. We did not order it but we were given samples and I thought it was really fun and delicious. All you can eat Pani Puri. They were fun. Little bite size crispy hollow balls filled with chickpeas and spices flavors and a spicy green sauce. I would not order that myself but it was fun to try it. Gentleman surveying it were very kind and had quality of service. We ordered garlic naan and traditional naan last time. It was nice and crispy tonight. It was a little wet. read more

Hurray! Buffets are back for lunch! Before COVID, I had no strong opinions about buffets - typically felt as though they were not that good. Now, it is completely different. After being deprived from it for years, I appreciate the variety option that you can immediately tryout by walking into an establishment and just picking up a plate. Overall, the food was tasty and I enjoyed the variety. Store grounds on the outside could use a bit of tidying up, and possibly a bit more modernization on the inside. Not much interaction with the staff, but the limited talk we did have was positive. I'd say this is a good stop for lunch. From my lunch experience, not sure if I'd go there for dinner, but otherwise all good. read more
