I ordered the masala chicken with naan bread. The server asked if we wanted naan or rice, so I…read morethought it came with it, but the naan is an extra $2.5, which is ok. They gave two slices of naan bread. The masala chicken is good, but the portion is smaller than other places. The restaurant is quite small with large tables.

I came here with 3 friends for dinner. It was our first time and we found the restaurant from…read moreinternet searches. The location is central and it was easy to find street parking on Main Street. Even though it was a Saturday, we were the only table for most of the evening. We were a bit anxious because of the lack of customers; however, there were delivery drivers picking up orders regularly, so it looks like most people did not dine in. The place is clean and seating was comfortable. There is a bell on the table for us to call the server when we were ready to order. We ordered the Lamb Shan-e-Babur that serves 2, the Prawn Coconut, and the Chicken Karahi. The dishes do not come with any rice or naan, so we had 2 orders of rice and 2 orders of naan. Even though the rice portion was generous, we still found it quite pricy. Each of us was given a bottle of water (Pure Life), unnecessary use of plastic is not something that I like to see. And even worse was the surprise when we got the bill that there was a charge for it! The food was delivered by a robot. The portion was reasonable and the taste was good. The lamb was well cooked and tender, the prawns tasted very fresh, and the chicken had the perfect taste, the spice level was just right for all of us. The only thing that was a problem was there were some small sharp broken pieces of bone in the Chicken Karahi, my friend had a painful bite when she thought she was only having the sauce on rice. I would come back for the taste of the food, but I will definitely turn down the bottled water.

This was my first time at Dosa Corner! Located on Fraser St with ample seating…read more Drinks - the spicy lemonade was so good! It was my first time having it and the savoury flavor profile was so intriguing. The mango shake was solid and good for cutting the spice of the dishes we got. Appetizers - chicken 65 was solid, hot and crispy and I loved the three sauces that came with it. The chicken samosa was also the perfect size and had a good amount of filling while keeping the crunch. Dosas - wow, the best in town! And so filling! The butter chicken dosa shocked me in terms of size and weight. The spinach masala dosa was also huge and I loved the thin crepe filled with spiced potatoes. Star of the show for sure! Mains - the biryani was also delicious as a rice dish and very filling. It went nicely with the veggie pakora, which was packed with crunch and spice. Overall amazing meal. Manpreet was also super kind and provided excellent service. Can't wait to come back to try more dosas - the menu is very extensive!!

A good amount of seating and ambience that is nothing special but nothing bad. Service was decent and fast and the food was not bad.

I recommend if you want to get some dosa.

We were seated by the front, but looking deeper into the restaurant I liked the darker colour tones and wall accents. We tried shared our Dine-Out meals: - Sarson Ke Phool: Good. Broccoli and cauliflower were way more softer than expected, but nice flavours. - Chicken Kondattam: Very good. Still a bit crispy and loved the spices. - Raw Mango Bhel: Good. I really like the flavours and textures in this dish. Just wished it didn't get soggy so fast. - Hyderabadi Murgh: Good. Just a great dish to go with the rice. - Khurmani Kofta: I didn't enjoy this one. I've never had this dish before, but tasted more like a dessert. Maybe something I'm not accustomed to. - Ginger Lamb Biryani: Good. Well made and very fragrant. - Rose Pistachio Tres Leches: OK. It was fine. Not too sweet, but nothing outstanding. - Classic Coconut Payasam: Good. Very simple but comforting. Service was pleasant. No issues came up. Overall, a good meal. I enjoyed most of the dishes, and felt it reasonably priced. I'd consider coming back

The servers took great care of us. ​My favorite dish was the Ragda Samosa Chaat. I actually wanted to order a second one, but I asked one of the lovely servers for a recommendation instead. She suggested the Dahi Puri Chaat, and the layers of flavor were incredible! The fresh yogurt, chutneys, and pomegranate made every bite feel like a party in my mouth. Obviously, the garlic naan and chicken curry also deserve an honorable mention. ​The staff warned us that another party was arriving at 9:00 PM, so we were trying to wrap things up. This made it even more surprising when they brought out a mango-coconut dessert with a candle and sang 'Happy Birthday!' I felt so special. It was a lovely surprise that made the whole experience memorable. Thank you to the Sula team--you made my day!

We came here on a Monday afternoon around 6:30 and it wasn't too crowded. There isn't that much seating inside, just 5-6 booths that fit up to 4 people each. They've removed all the regular table seating inside for social distancing purposes. The menu is quite extensive, with plenty of appetizer and entree options to choose from. I love that you can also customize your own dosa, which I've never seen before. We shared: Vada ($6.25) - the vada was fried well and was the perfect crispiness on the skin. Went well with the sambar and various chutneys Vegetarian kothu paratha ($11.99) - this was my first time trying this dish, but it was a little bit too spicy for me. Essentially they take paratha, cut it up to small bits, and fry it with vegetables (or a protein of your choice). Was an interesting dish to see on the menu, and my other friends who can handle spice all enjoyed it Chicken biryani ($13.99) - my personal favorite dish of the night. The chicken was tender and the rest of the rice very flavorful. I wanted more of this! Masala dosa ($9.99) - pretty standard as far as dosas go

While we initially struggled to choose just one salad, one soup, one cold mezze, and three mains, we were thrilled to learn it functioned like a Mediterranean All You Can Eat--allowing us to order more dishes as we went. We felt like kids in a candy store, eager to explore the vibrant, exotic flavours. The mango-infused dishes were a standout! ​The service was impeccable. One server even followed us outside just to hand us cardamom cookies for the road. Many restaurants treat Dine Out as a budget-set menu, but East is East used it to truly showcase their best work. We left with new favorites and a plan to return very soon.

I would say their one portion is just right for two people. :: Temper paneer biryani - also spicy but did not have as much flavour, the paneer pieces were big so the marination didn't go all the way through. :: Paneer 65 - this was really good and saucy! I would say compared to other biryani places, their portions were a bit smaller and they did not have many veggie options. I would be interested to go there in-person and try some of their other things.

I liked the food but not the chaos!…read more We decided to explore this restaurant as it claimed to have great biryanis . We entered from back side as there's limited parking on the front. We passed the toilets and the storerooms and I had a feeling it wasn't going to be a clean restaurant. The restrooms were dirty and dingy and so was the floor. The sous chefs moved around in gloves which I saw them use to pick up trays, touch raw food and everything in between. The music was so loud that after a point I felt like leaving. Once we sat down the servers were warm and courteous but oh so overwhelmed. Too many people too little servers. Menu is not exquisite but basic. We ordered goat pepper fry which I felt was exactly what it said. Peppery, feisty and delicious South Indian goat dish . Butterchicken was blah. I know we shouldn't have ordered it at a place like this but tell that to a 10 year old. Naans were basic and nothing stood out. Finally what we came here for, the biryani. We ordered the chicken biryani and the taste was nothing out of the park. I was just happy that it was not loaded with elaichi. Overall, food was good but the place is overall a chaos. I have a feeling the kitchen and storage is unhygienic and not many health and hygiene standards are maintained. Will I ever go back? No.
